Mann Lake Honey Uncapping Tank – Complete Honey Cappings Collection System

Make Honey Extraction Easier with a Convenient Uncapping Tank and Honey Collection System

Get ready for honey harvesting season with the Mann Lake Honey Uncapping Tank, available from Innisfil Creek Honey.

This practical honey processing system helps beekeepers collect wax cappings and recover honey during the uncapping process. Designed for hobby beekeepers and smaller honey extraction operations, it provides a convenient workspace for preparing honey frames before placing them into a honey extractor.

The Mann Lake Uncapping Tank includes a frame stand, upper tank with a stainless steel mesh floor, lower honey collection tank with a honey gate, and a lid.

As you uncap your honey frames, the stainless steel mesh floor helps separate beeswax cappings from the honey. Honey drains into the lower collection tank, where it can be released through the honey gate for further processing.

Whether you're harvesting honey for the first time or upgrading your existing uncapping setup, this convenient system helps make honey extraction more organized and efficient.

How the Mann Lake Uncapping Tank Works

During honey extraction, beekeepers remove the thin layer of beeswax covering capped honey cells before placing frames into a honey extractor.

The Mann Lake Uncapping Tank helps collect the removed wax cappings while allowing honey to drain into a separate container.

Upper Tank with Stainless Steel Mesh Floor

The upper tank holds the wax cappings removed during the uncapping process.

Its stainless steel mesh floor allows honey to drain downward while retaining much of the larger wax cappings.

Lower Honey Collection Tank

The lower tank collects honey draining through the mesh floor.

This provides a convenient way to recover honey from the cappings during processing.

Honey Gate

The lower tank features a honey gate that allows collected honey to be released into a suitable container.

Frame Stand

The included frame stand provides support for honey frames during uncapping, helping keep the process organized.

Lid

The included lid can be used to cover the tank when appropriate.

A Practical Addition to Your Honey Extraction Equipment

An uncapping tank is an important part of an organized honey harvesting setup.

As honey frames are uncapped, beeswax cappings can contain a significant amount of honey. Collecting these cappings in a draining tank allows the honey to separate from the wax before the wax is cleaned or processed.

The Mann Lake Uncapping Tank helps keep the uncapping area organized while collecting honey for further handling.

It pairs well with other honey harvesting equipment, including:

• Honey extractors

• Uncapping knives

• Uncapping forks

• Honey strainers and filters

• Honey storage containers

• Honey bottling equipment
