600 L Fermentation Tank with Legs and Conical Bottom – Reliable Support for Mead Production
Do you want to produce mead in larger volumes and have the entire fermentation process under control? This professional 600-liter fermentation tank is designed for demanding beekeepers, mead makers, and operations that emphasize cleanliness, stable quality, and convenient operation. It is made of acid-resistant stainless steel AISI 304, which is hygienic, durable, and flavor-neutral. Thanks to this, the mead does not absorb unwanted odors or flavors and the character of the honey used can fully shine through.
Precise Temperature Control Thanks to Pillow Plate Technology
Proper temperature is among the essential conditions for successful mead fermentation. The tank is equipped with a Pillow Plate cooling and heating jacket, which allows temperature regulation during vigorous fermentation and subsequent maturation. A stable temperature regime helps protect yeast from overheating and supports a clean aromatic profile of the final beverage. An integrated dial thermometer facilitates continuous monitoring, so you can maintain consistent batch quality regardless of conditions in the honey house or production space.
Protecting Mead from Oxidation Using a Floating Lid
Contact with air can negatively affect the taste, aroma, and overall stability of mead. Therefore, the tank is equipped with a 1.2 mm thick floating lid with an inflatable bladder that adapts to the current liquid level. Even after partial racking, the space above the mead remains minimal. This solution helps reduce the risk of oxidation, aroma loss, acetification, and unwanted contamination. The equipment also includes a dust-proof lid with securing clamps for additional content protection.
Practical Solution for Racking, Sediment Removal, and Sanitation
The conical bottom with an additional outlet significantly facilitates work after fermentation is complete. Settled yeast and sediment can be conveniently discharged through the bottom valve, without the need to manipulate the heavy tank or tilt it. Sturdy legs ensure stability while allowing good access to outlets and fittings. The sampling tap serves for safe sample collection to monitor fermentation, measure sugar content with a refractometer or must meter, and track the maturation process without unnecessarily opening the main lid.
Main Advantages for Beekeeping Operations
- AISI 304 stainless steel: hygienic material suitable for contact with honey, water, and alcohol, without affecting mead taste.
- Floating lid with inflatable bladder: limits oxygen access and helps protect the aroma, color, and quality of finished mead.
- Pillow Plate jacket: enables professional cooling and heating for more precise fermentation control.
- Conical bottom: facilitates sediment removal, discharge, and subsequent tank sanitation.
- Complete equipment: level indicator, thermometer, sampling tap, and DN32 butterfly valves for efficient daily operation.
