OZ ARMOUR 100 KG Honey Tank — SS304 with Stand

Commercial-Grade Storage with Stand Included

When your harvest grows beyond what a small tank can hold, it's time to step up. The OZ ARMOUR 100 KG Honey Tank SS304 is built for serious sideliners and commercial beekeepers who need more capacity, better ergonomics, and the same uncompromising food-grade quality that's made our stainless steel honey storage range a favourite of Australian apiarists. With its integrated stand, 0.60mm thick SS304 construction, precision metal honey gate, and optional double filters, it's the upgrade path for beekeepers ready to scale.

This tank holds 100 kg of honey (80 litres by volume) — a full season's harvest from one or two productive hives — and comes with a built-in stand for ergonomic bucket-filling height. It uses the same hygienic SS304 stainless steel trusted by commercial honey processors worldwide. Choose the variant with optional double-layer filters (one coarse, one fine) for crystal-clear honey ready to bottle straight from the tank.

Why Upgrade to the 100 KG Tank?

If you're processing more than 60–80 kg per harvest or running multiple hives, the 100 kg tank makes a real difference. The bigger capacity means fewer batches to manage, less time spent emptying and refilling smaller tanks, and better workflow during the rush of extraction season. The included stand (an optional extra on smaller tanks) raises the honey gate to comfortable bucket-filling height — saving your back and making jar-filling significantly faster. For sideliners managing 20–50+ hives, this is the natural step up from a 50 kg tank.

100 KG vs 50 KG — Which Is Right for Me?

Both tanks share the same SS304 construction, metal honey gate, and lockable lid. The differences are:

• Capacity: 100 kg vs 50 kg — double the honey per batch
• Dimensions: The 100 kg tank is wider and shorter (37 cm × 47 cm vs 32.5 cm × 57 cm)
• Stand: Included with the 100 kg tank (optional extra on the 50 kg)
• Price difference: Only $30 more than the 50 kg — outstanding value uplift if you can use the extra capacity

Choose the 50 kg if you process 30–60 kg per batch and want a more compact tank. Choose the 100 kg if you process 60–100 kg per batch, run a sideliner operation, or want the extra capacity and included stand for a marginal extra cost.

Why the Included Stand Matters

The integrated stand is one of the biggest practical advantages of the 100 kg tank. It raises the honey gate to ergonomic bucket-filling height, letting you place a 20L honey bucket directly underneath without bending, propping, or improvising. After a long extraction day, this is the kind of detail that saves your back, saves time, and makes the whole workflow more enjoyable. Beekeepers who buy the 50 kg tank often add the optional stand anyway — with the 100 kg version, it's built in.

Should I Add the Double Filters?

Suppose you bottle honey for sale or want consistently clean honey, absolutely yes. The optional double-layer stainless steel filters — one coarse, one fine — fit seamlessly onto the tank and strain honey twice as it pours in. The coarse layer catches wax fragments, propolis bits, and the occasional bee remnant; the fine layer catches smaller particles for crystal-clear, retail-ready honey. The result is honey ready to bottle directly into jars without further filtering — a major time-saver for sideliners and farmers' market sellers. Skip the filters if you prefer raw, lightly-strained honey for personal use.

Why SS304 Stainless Steel?

SS304 is the global gold standard for food-grade storage. It's non-reactive (won't taint your honey's flavour), corrosion-resistant (won't rust or pit), hygienic and easy to sanitise (smooth surfaces prevent bacterial growth), and incredibly durable (a well-cared-for SS304 tank can last 30+ years). Compared to plastic alternatives — which degrade, scratch, and absorb odours — stainless steel is the only material serious beekeepers should consider for long-term honey storage.

How Does the Honey Gate Work?

The precision metal honey gate at the base of the tank gives you clean, controlled dispensing with absolutely no drips. Open it to pour honey directly into buckets, jars, or bottling containers; close it for a complete drip-free seal even under the weight of 100 kg of honey. The metal construction means the gate won't crack, warp, or wear out the way plastic gates can. After hundreds of harvest cycles, it still works exactly as well as the day it arrived.

Who Is This Tank For?

This tank is built for serious sideliners and small commercial beekeepers. It's ideal for sideliners running 20–50+ hives wanting bigger-batch processing, commercial honey producers needing reliable, food-grade bulk storage, queen breeders and apiary operators managing larger seasonal harvests, beekeeping co-operatives sharing equipment, and farmers' market sellers who process and bottle larger volumes for retail. If you're still in hobby territory with one or two hives, the 50 kg tank may suit you better.
