35 kg honey tank Mellarius ProLine with welded gate and sealing lid

Mellarius MaxiLine Series Honey Bottling Tank with Sealing Lid

Need a durable and hygienic tank for bottling, storing, or further processing honey? The Mellarius MaxiLine series honey bottling tank is a practical solution for every honey house – from small-scale hobby beekeeping to professional operations. Thanks to its solid stainless steel construction, sealing lid, and well-designed accessories, it helps protect honey quality while making everyday work during the honey harvest easier.

High-quality stainless steel and robust construction for long service life

Mellarius MaxiLine tanks are made from premium food-grade stainless steel, suitable for direct contact with honey. The sheet metal thickness of 0.8 to 1 mm gives the tank high strength and stability even when filled with large quantities of honey. Individual parts are joined by plasma welding, which creates smooth and hygienic internal transitions without unnecessary gaps where honey residue or impurities could accumulate. The polished stainless steel surface is easy to clean and maintain, which you will especially appreciate after a demanding bottling session. The tank features a welded stainless steel honey gate, which increases joint strength and minimizes the risk of leaks compared to common screw-on solutions.

Sealing lid for protecting honey from moisture and contaminants

Honey naturally absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, which is why proper sealing of the tank is important during storage. Higher water content can negatively affect honey quality and promote unwanted fermentation. The Mellarius MaxiLine tank is therefore equipped with a lid featuring an integrated silicone gasket that helps protect honey from airborne moisture, dust, odors, and insects. The lid is secured with sturdy metal clamping clips, so it stays firmly in place even during handling. This way, honey remains safely stored and retains its natural taste, aroma, and consistency for longer.

Well-designed system for bottling, straining, and settling honey

The MaxiLine series is not just a standalone bottling tank – it can become the foundation of a practical honey processing system. The tanks can be complemented with stainless steel strainers in several mesh sizes – coarse, fine, and ultra-fine. Strainers can be stacked on top of each other to customize filtration as needed, for example when removing wax particles and other small impurities after extracting. When fitted with a conical strainer, the tank can also be used as a settling tank. For more comfortable work, stable stainless steel stands are available, providing enough clearance under the honey gate for filling jars. The honey gate can also be complemented with precision dispensing valves or cut-off flaps for clean honey dosing without unnecessary dripping.

Capacities for small-scale and professional beekeeping operations

Mellarius MaxiLine honey bottling tanks are available in several sizes, so you can easily choose a variant based on the number of colonies, honey yield, and your workflow in the honey house. The range starts with compact tanks for 25 kg of honey and goes up to large-capacity models with a 500 kg capacity for demanding operations. Each tank is equipped with sturdy stainless steel handles with an ergonomic design that facilitate safe carrying and handling.
