Wax Collection Tray for Solar Wax Melter

This insluated wax melter allows for the melting down of old combs or cappings using steam.  Water is added via the external fill arm which is heated with the aid of a gas burner.  Steam fills the wax melter and the melted wax runs out of the pipe at the bottom of the tank.  Frames and cappings are placed in an internal basket  which collects the “junk”.  Frames can then be re-used with new foundation.

This double walled stainless steel tank provides insulation, maintaining temperature for a much longer period and will use less energy to heat.

Not for use with plastic frames/foundation.

Honey is not recoverable from this unit.  Any honey present will become mixed with the wax and water leaving the unit.
