TECHNICAL DATAMaterial of the vat: Food-grade stainless steel Aisi 304Welding: TIG system (to comply with the guarantees required for steel containers in contact with food)Maturator diameter: Ø 310 mmHeight: 500 mmCapacity: 50 kgRubricator: Ø 40 mm diameter in food-grade plastic Lid: Stainless steel INFORMATIONThe stainless steel maturer is the ideal product for decanting and maturing honey, an indispensable process after honey extraction because it allows impurities to be brought to the surface.Honey ripening occurs due to the different specific weight of the impurities inside the honey after extracting the honey: impurities such as wax, parts of wood or organic materials will come to the surface naturally, as will the air bubbles that were generated during the previous extracting process.The ripener is designed and manufactured inside the Lega factory, so it is Made in Italy and most importantly Made in Lega.The product can be placed on top of the metal stand, which is sold separately (item 6001).We produce different sizes of steel ripeners, to meet the needs of all beekeepers. The 50-kg format is the smallest, but has all the quality of materials and workmanship Lega. The ripener is compatible with Lega's stainless steel mesh filters to do the initial filtering of honey after honey extraction. This makes it possible to pour honey from which the coarsest impurities, such as pieces of wax, wood or organic bee parts, have already been removed. It is possible to purchase the ripener stand, so that the ripener can be raised off the ground and honey can be poured into jars or tin via the tap.
