Honey Melting Rod – IBC

Warm bulk honey inside an IBC or suitable deep container with this stainless steel Honey Melting Rod from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

The immersion-style heater places its reinforced heating element directly into the product, making it an efficient option when crystallised bulk honey needs gradual warming before transfer or bottling.

Built for Deep Bulk Containers

Key specifications include:

• Stainless steel construction
• Reinforced heating element
• Adjustable thermostat
• Maximum thermostat setting: 90°C
• 230V operation
• 1500W power
• Minimum honey depth: 10cm
• Maximum honey height: approximately 95cm

The long working depth makes the unit particularly useful for IBC-style honey storage. 

Direct Heat for Crystallised Honey

External heating blankets warm a container from the outside inward. An immersion heater instead places the heat source inside the honey, which can improve heat transfer in larger volumes.

Controlled warming can make crystallised honey easier to:

• Stir
• Transfer
• Pump
• Filter
• Dispense
• Bottle

Buying Options

Use Controlled Temperatures

Honey does not need to be exposed to excessive heat simply to improve flow.

Set the thermostat according to your intended process and monitor the honey as it warms. Stirring can help distribute temperature and reduce localised differences within the container.

Always keep the heater immersed above its minimum operating depth and follow appropriate electrical and food-processing practices.

Once the honey reaches the required working consistency, switch the heater off and remove it carefully according to the operating instructions.
