Solar wax furnaces
How to make a solar wax furnaces
Solar wax furnaces with their hands: drawing, video.
beekeeper – smart people, because the scorching summer sun energy is used for all 100%.
Not everyone knows, that such necessary items, a solar wax furnaces, his hands made from scrap materials.
The design is made from wood, aluminum and even glass.
New that you have not used, the result is – in the sun will melt the wax.
Today we tell you about, how make their own wax furnaces, present drawings and calculations.
How does this work?
There are many types voskotopok, establishing the apiary. This water, Electric steam.
most primitive wax furnaces – This simple bucket of warm water, which falls bag, filled with honeycombs.
During the summer, this design exhibit in the sun. When the wax melts, bag removed, lace contents in bowl, but wax collected from the water surface. 
Procedure, frankly, vtomliva.
Better one time to make the device, which does not require extra material costs.
And time is important, Why spend it?
Let the sun melts the wax, and you can do important work.
extractors, acting under the sun, – the most convenient option for apiaries.
In a medium sized product per day until melted 4-5 kg of wax, it is enough to service 50-60 families of bees.
It is, that enough solar wax furnaces for apiary, it is used as an adjuvant.
But it is not so. proved, Solar wax furnaces that melt mixture, which has excellent performance.
It is half-full of wax, and the other half consists of vytopky nevoskovyh components.
In the solar voskotoptsi melt only dry material. It can not be pre-boiled in water, because the material remains wet, it will evaporate sunlight.
As a result – zapotivshe glass, which will not miss the sun to wax. Features of the device dramatically reduced.

The principle of solar wax furnaces
- Upper panel – this glass, and taught wax on a baking sheet metal.
- The device is placed so, to him the sun's rays fall perpendicularly.
- Deca is warm, temperature reaches 70-75 C, and in the hottest days the temperature reaches the mark 90 C.
- The product gradually melts, through specific sections of a slope drains into the bottom compartment.
- The design of the filter set – small mesh divisions, which prevents unnecessary in the finished material.
How does this device, You can see the video. The process of melting wax off bounds, you can see the degree of softening material.
Now let's learn, how to make a solar wax furnaces with their hands.
We produce solar wax furnaces with simple materials.
Making solar wax furnaces with their hands
In order to get to work, we need materials:
- Glass.
- Wooden plates.
- The material for the metal deck (aluminum or tin). If no metal, does not matter, use simple, well dried timber, plywood, slate. Among them is a kind of trough, inside which bore holes.
- instruments – nails, hammer.
- The material for the filter.
Drawings solar wax furnaces
so, cut timber under drawings, focus on the following dimensions:
Height
- The front wall – 140 mm.
- Rear – 210 mm.
- The side walls inclined.
- The length of the bars to cover 40x50 mm.
Width
- 600 mm for the front and rear walls.
- 500 mm, in accordance, for sidebars.
- By making the width of plywood bottom.
Drawings cover
When the wooden panel ready, so they must brace, to obtain a crate, wherein one end higher than the other.

Recommended to do the walls of two parts, between which is filled heater – moss, wadding.
The walls must be very tight, without cracks adjacent to each other. Next is the production cap, which placed glass.
For it can simply obtochyty 4 wooden beams, strengthen their nails, glass insert and attach this cover curtains to the main box.
Once again, that the main – This is a very tight fit all the parts box.
Inside the box do with thin wooden strips drainage – the stand, which is mounted metal pan.
On the right side of the future fastened wax furnaces 2 longitudinal and 1 cross bar, which should form a rectangle.
On the left side set 1 longitudinal plate.
Position the bars so, so that they slope to the left of the box.
Their back end should be on 8 see above, lower than. A sharp angle helps, that together with melted wax derived vytopky.
The left side of the box set with aluminum utensils (trough), which will be assembled already molten wax.
And deco bars put on the metal, which is available to your apiary.
Previously in that part of the letter, which will be on dishes, follow 10 holes in 2-3 mm, will flow through them melted wax.
At the point, which will drain melted wax, set hrebenchatuyu wall, that eliminates and prevents the wax vytoplennya.
A straw ordinary caulk holes, which is the filter. Also put a floor pan finer grid with very small cells.
On the grid will be taught wax. As melting it runs down the pan, and then in the trough.
Remains of wax, which does not melt, nets can be removed and used in further processing.
This is the easiest method of manufacturing a solar wax furnaces, which is used for melting and collecting wax.
It is recommended to install between the cover glass and the lock box with wax. It will prevent sudden slamming the lid and glass damage.

How to install a solar wax furnaces?
Homemade solar wax furnaces installed in open space so, that it can be rotated by sunlight.
This can be a high reliance on a stand or a wooden leg. Support should be reliable, as wax furnaces have to constantly twist and, perhaps, move on site.
You can view photo, which depict various installation options, and choose the best.

Each requires apiary wax furnaces, because the required processing. But such a simple device helps you easily drown wax.
