Wax melting tank from Thomas Apiculture
This melting tank is designed to render bits of comb or complete combs without having to remove the wires
The round style wax melter is more efficient than the square type because the circular design ensures an even temperature throughout and can melt a full load in approx. 20 minutes.
The tank is composed of an outer flat bottomed tank and an internal tank with an inverted conical bottom which forms a small reservoir. Wax is heated up by the bottom and circumference of the tank as a result of the boiling water jacket. Heat is from a gas burner (not supplied). There is a removable stainless steel basket to collect the debris.
Has a reinforced conical lid with a safety ball valve to prevent over pressurizing and a thick silicone gasket to make it fully watertight.
The wax is rendered down by the rising steam, becomes purified and flows out perfectly clean ready to be set in moulds.
Dimensions are 530 dia x 760 high.  Capacity – 82 litres

This product has a 6-8 week delivery time.  POA.

Spin dryers are the preferred alternative to the cappings screw press.

Cappings are the only product not to go through the normal extraction process so using a Cappings Spin Dryer will ensure you extract the maximum amount of honey possible from your cappings: 100kg of extracted honey should only leave 2 kg of dry cappings.  Very easy to use, you simply put it next to your uncapping tank or machine, open the lid and tip the honey loaded cappings into the basket, shut the lid, turn it on (the machine self-stabilises) and turn it off when the honey flow stops.

After a day of extraction, the honey house is clean and the wax is available to melt down later.

With the spin dryer the wax is not broken up into micro pieces saving you from needing extra filtration.
This model is the ideal machine for enterprises of up to 100 hives.  It can take up to 10 kg of cappings.

Please Note:  Larger models are available.

The Hot wax pressure pot sprayer is ideal for applying beeswax to plastic foundation.  This machine is manufactured by Viseco in Germany.

The sprayer includes a heated pressure pot to hold 12 litres of beeswax, heated hose and heated spraygun.  This provides a way to evenly coat your foundation to your desired thickness with minimal overspray.

As wax becomes more valuable this sprayer will save over- coating your frames and will ultimately save you time and  money.  There is no need to clean the wax out after each use as wax can stay in the system and it will be re-melted when reusing.

This unit can also be automated if required.

With beeswax becoming more valuable you not only save on the time taken to coat your foundation but will also save on wax used.  There is a great advantage in knowing where the wax came from that is used on your frames.
Electronic controls enable you to regulate bowl and nozzle temperature.
No need to clean out the gun on completion of job as the wax is re-melted each time it is turned on.
All that is required is a supply of clean wax and a small air compressor.  It is recommended to set aside an area to do your spraying in to contain any overspray.

See our video –https://www.hiveworld.co.nz/spraying-wax-foundation/

• professional ski servicing
