This uncapping tank has the same capacity as our  but it has stronger and heavier legs to support the weight of the . The uncapping head can be purchased in the future and fits this tank's side/top flange using predrilled holes and four fasteners. Invest in the future of your honey house and use this tank with your current uncapping method or use the  until the uncapper head is needed.

The tank will hold up to 35 frames leaving space for the uncapping operation or the uncapping head. The legs have rolling casters (two lockable) to easily move the unit around the honey house. Stainless steel side rails located just under the tank top hold frames above the cappings while waiting to be extracted. Two sieve pans cover the tank bottom to hold wax cappings and are elevated to allow the cappings and honey to separate. A 1-1/2" stainless steel welded honey gate drains honey to a bucket or sump. A stainless steel cover keeps the bees out when leaving the cappings to drain. The cover will not fit when the manual uncapping head is installed.
