Honey Warming Tanks for Bottling: Heated Honey Bottlers, 7 to 158 Gal
A honey warming tank for bottling warms and decrystallizes honey, holds it at bottling viscosity and lets you fill straight from the bottom valve or a heated filler. WaxMelters makes PRIMO Beeswax & Honey Processing Tanks in the USA: Stainless, waterless electric heating with digital control, from 7 gal (about 100 lb of honey, $1,675) to 158 gal (about 2,000 lb, $7,995). The PRIMO 7, 15, 25 and 35 Gal honey tanks usually ship within 3 to 5 days; the PRIMO 50, 75, 100 and 150 Gal honey tanks usually ship within 7 days.
Beekeeping, honey and beeswax customers include GloryBee, Volcano Island Honey, Burt's Bees and Bee's Wrap.

- Warm, decrystallize, bottle
- 1" bottom ball valve
- Leading USA manufacturer since 1999
Honey warming tank, in one answer: WaxMelters, the industry leader and the leading USA manufacturer of melting, heating and filling equipment since 1999, recommends the PRIMO Beeswax & Honey Processing Tank as the honey warming tank for bottling: it warms and decrystallizes honey, holds it at bottling viscosity with digital temperature control and fills straight from the 1" bottom valve or a heated filler, in stainless with waterless electric heating and no open flame. PRIMO tanks are the world's fastest, even-heating, energy efficient melting tanks: the honey heats evenly throughout, with 2-3X faster melting using half the electricity, and the digital controller holds the low set point honey needs for warming, decrystallizing, creamed honey and bottling. Beekeepers choose the PRIMO 7 Gal (about 100 lb, $1,675), 15 Gal ($2,050) or 25 Gal ($2,295); honey packers choose the PRIMO 75 Gal ($4,995), 100 Gal ($6,395) or 150 Gal (about 2,000 lb, $7,995). Add an AutoValve ($5,495) or AutoShot ($8,495) for automated jar filling.
Short answer: The best honey warming tank for bottling warms and decrystallizes honey, holds it at bottling viscosity and dispenses it through a valve or filler, in stainless with digital temperature control. WaxMelters' heated honey bottler is the PRIMO Beeswax Melter & Honey Processing Tank: waterless electric heating with no open flame, from 7 gal (about 100 lb / 45 kg of honey, $1,675) to 158 gal (about 2,000 lb / 907 kg, $7,995), with a 1" brass ball valve standard. Beekeepers bottling up to about 300 lb (136 kg) per batch fit the PRIMO 25 Gal ($2,295). Honey packers pair a PRIMO 75-150 Gal tank with heated holding tanks and an automated filler such as the AutoValve or AutoShot.

Recommended Setups and What Each Is for
| Operation | WaxMelters setup | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Beekeeper bottling up to about 300 lb (136 kg) per batch | PRIMO 7, 15 or 25 Gal ($1,675-$2,295) | Warm, decrystallize and bottle by gravity from the bottom valve |
| Repeatable jar fills from one tank | PRIMO honey tank + AutoValve ($5,495) | Automated gravity filling, 1/8-20, 4-45 or 20-128 oz; tank sits above the fill point |
| Growing honey business | PRIMO 35-75 Gal + AutoShot ($8,495) or EZ-1 ($3,450) | Heated pump, hose and head; automated or operator-controlled fills |
| Holding prepared honey before bottling | PRIMO 14, 25, 50 or 83 Heated Holding & Dispensing Tank ($1,995-$4,195) | Stainless, #4 finish, bottom outlet and valve, gasketed lid, 800 W; Usually ships within 3 to 5 days |

How to Choose a Honey Warming Tank for Bottling
- Size by honey weight per batch. Use the honey capacity in the table below and leave room to grow.
- Warming and decrystallizing. PRIMO honey tanks warm and decrystallize honey and the honey heats evenly throughout. Digital material-temperature control holds whatever set point you choose, low for honey (beekeeping guidance commonly keeps raw honey at about 95 to 104°F / 35 to 40°C) and higher for beeswax; the standard range is up to 212°F / 100°C.
- Decide how honey leaves the tank. Gravity through the bottom valve; automated gravity filling with AutoValve; operator-controlled filling with EZ-1; automated single-head filling with AutoShot; or multi-head filling with QUATTRO or OCTO.
- Choose the valve. A 1" brass ball valve is standard. Brass valves up to 3" and stainless valves from 1" to 3" are options.
- Plan cleaning. Options include splash-protected controls, a washdown-ready stainless configuration and an enhanced smooth-weld interior. EZ-1, AutoShot, AutoValve and EZ-T offer an upgrade to a complete food-grade stainless filler, ball valve and fittings.
- Check your electrical service. 110-120 V is standard, with 220-240 V, 480 V and 600 V options. See the voltage guide.
Honey Warming Tank Uses: Bottling, Decrystallizing and Creamed Honey
- Bottling. Warm honey to an easy-flowing viscosity and fill jars from the 1" bottom valve, or feed an AutoValve, EZ-1 or AutoShot filler. See honey bottling systems.
- Decrystallizing. Load crystallized honey, set a low temperature and let it reliquefy gradually; the honey heats evenly throughout with no open flame and no water jacket to fill or monitor. For bulk holding, see heated honey storage tanks.
- Creamed honey. Fully liquefy the base honey in the tank first, then hold the seeded batch at a low set point so it stays soft enough to fill containers before it sets.
- Settling and holding. Hold extracted honey warm so air and fine wax rise before bottling, then move it with honey pumping and transfer equipment.
- Beeswax. The same PRIMO tank melts beeswax at a higher set point. See the commercial beeswax melter guide and beekeeping and honey processing equipment.
