Jacket tanks clean up very easily -I run wax in mine -problem is for a full 16 gal tank
(4 gal of water ) the rest wax it takes a long time to heat -several hours-always run
water to clean the honey -I run 4 gal of water and i get about 1 gal of honey-this way
the first 5 gal bucket is water and honey-the rest is wax-to strain the wax i take a 5 gal bucket
and cut the first 8 inches from the top-this will nest into another bucket-in-between these is a layer
of burlap-this cleanse the wax as it runs through this colander type set up-at the end of the run
put a little water in the bottling tank-about a inch-while tank is warm wipe it out with a rag-
next day the slum-gum and wax pulls right off the bottom thanks to the water that was added at the end
I looked into get a larger element that would pull 2000 watts versus the 1500 watts that size tank
uses-but they are longer elements and wont fit in that size tank-but to answer your question yes you can run wax in your bottling tank very easy-here is a pic of the tanks i run and the wax after one run from one tank
this will give you a idea of what they will do--RDY-B
