The wax melter is designed for melting old combs. Steam wax melting is fast, simple and very effective. Before melting, pour water into the wax melter, place approx. 23 frames in the perforated comb basket and bring the water to a boil with a gas burner. The boiling water produces steam that rises into the perforated comb basket and melts the combs. Pure wax runs off through the perforated basket bottom and then flows through the outlet pipe into an external container, while debris remains in the perforated comb basket. During this process the frames are cleaned and disinfected. A melting cycle takes approx. 30 minutes. Cappings wax can also be melted in the wax melter.

Make sure that the bottom of the wax melter is always covered with water; this can be checked at the inlet pipe.

A gas burner is placed under the wax melter to heat the water. Solid fuels can also be used. The gas burner is not included.

This wax melter is very popular with beekeepers. We recommend it for beekeepers with 20–100 colonies.
