Maxx Honey Storage & Bottling Tank - 18 Gallon

Very happy with this honey tank and valve assembly. Quick delivery, too!

Oh my gosh. This was an outstanding buy for my honey operation. The large capacity tank fits on a plant roller that I found in my greenhouse for easy placement within my crowded honey house and the huge filter surfaces (much larger in diameter than a 5-gallon bucket filter system ) drained my entire extracted honey crop without getting plugged with wax. This cut my honey filtering time down from 5 days to 1 day. I am so happy to have time back to take apart my extractor for cleaning and maintenance. Shipping of the tank was speedy and free. The tank came double boxed to withstand fat-fisted handling during transport and the spring-lock (spring goes on the left) honey gate fitting is leak-proof. The design features of this tank are designed for efficiency and are matched to the needed functionality. These include a lid that buckle-clamps onto the tank; extra large capacity sturdy metal coarse (1500 micron) and fine (600 micron) filters, and a cone-shaped bottom with low-set honey gate above a false bottom for clearance above the floor. This is my 3rd satisfactory HillCo purchase. I also love their solar wax melter and uncapping tank. All 3 are must haves for my honey house. I highly recommend all 3 HillCo products.

It’s great. I originally bought one but had to have another!

The 18 gallon Maxx Bottling tank is beautifully designed and built. It works and drains exactly as described, the finish is bright and clean. There were a few burrs where the skirt is tack welded to the tank, but they are minor and easily removed.

Was very pleased the tank suffered no travel injuries! However I was a bit surprised that the lid came without a sealing gasket and no nob for the lid , ended up making a gasket and ordered a lid knob from Amazon . Also concerned about replacement gaskets for the spigot .
