Processing of wax raw materials

Processing of wax raw materials: solar, total voskotopka, press.

Wax materials require fast processing, because that is classified as perishable.

The main threat comes from wax moth, mice, fungi.

Storage of wax raw materials in winter allowed in dry rooms with good ventilation.

At temperatures above storage site 10 C, tamped it in the tank, filling with a layer of melted wax, thereby eliminating the access of oxygen and preventing the emergence of wax moth.

In summer, store raw materials for a long time only after the previous processing.

An additional reason, in which to wax processing raw materials, income is.

1. Solar wax furnaces
2. Voskopres
3. pairs voskotopka

Solar wax furnaces

The resulting raw wax, to be processed, should be subdivided quality, digesting each variety separately.

For the processing of wax 1 solar grade often used wax furnaces. This is the most simple method of processing wax, voskovytist which shall be not less 70%.

Raw materials dipped in wax furnaces, where under the influence of solar heat (the temperature can rise to 70-80 C), it melts.

Works only wax furnaces, when its glass wall is directed to the sun. To improve efficiency, wax furnaces can be rotated throughout the day, that it is heated.

Thus obtained wax-kapanets, referring to the high-grade wax.

Cooking raw bandwidth through the press

Recycling materials always includes 3 process: cooking, pressing and defending wax.

Before cooking sushi overnight soak it in cold water.

Then tenderize in aluminum or enamel tank to a homogeneous state, without breasts.

The resulting slurry was boiled for 20-30 minutes.

In identifying the apiary any disease, Susz be subjected to boiling for at least 2,5 hours.

For razvaryuvannya should use rainwater.

Hard water reduces the quality and yield of wax.

Also affecting the quality use of utensils: iron, copper or iron can not take.

Then make the extrusion process. Most often used for this metal voskopress.

The first step is to heat stupa press, for that it shall hot water, which is then drained.

In a container placed strong bag, filling it with boiled weight using the bucket, bag tie, and tightening the screw.

Weight should be very hot, the temperature dependent output wax. After a few turns of the screw do slight pause, потім продовжують – поступове нарощування тиску також гарантує більш високу ефективність процесу.

Squeeze the wax rises to the surface of the water, after reaching the maximum pressure of the wax with the water poured into the barrel.

The process can be repeated several times, removing the bag and turning it.

The use of steam wax furnaces

If solar wax furnaces can be used only under certain weather conditions, then steam will serve at any time of the year.

This is the most simple and affordable device, which allows to process large amounts of raw materials.

in addition, beekeeper can use it to sterilize instruments, while solar use for this purpose will not work.

Has she has some drawbacks. In view of the, steam wax furnaces that will stand long in the fire, rooms, where progress, will remind humidity bath, because the kitchen is extremely inconvenient to use it.

Compared with solar, clean after using this model difficult.
