Minox

A hand pump from Minox for inflating the seal on a tank floating lid, so you can set the lid down onto the wine and pump the gasket up against the tank wall. The handle title does mention a hook and a small size, though the product title itself does not, so the listing is inconsistent there. Confirm the fitting against your lid valve before ordering.

A 300 litre TABEC tank from Minox with a conical base and welded legs, set up for olive oil storage. The conical base lets you draw off cleanly from the bottom and leave sediment behind, which is the whole point when you are storing oil for any length of time. Freight on a tank this size is worth sorting first, so give us a call.

A 50Lt tank in 304 stainless with a conical 45 degree base, built for brewing and sitting on a three leg stand. The conical base drops trub and yeast into the point so you can pull it off cleanly rather than racking around it.
