Wax furnaces with their hands

Wax furnaces with their hands at home: types and devices.

If you have recently engaged in beekeeping and faced with the question, heated with a wax and does not spend much, wax furnaces with their hands – this is, What you need.

What species are they, and how to build a machine, try to understand.

extractors – One of the most popular products among beekeepers.

This arrangement can buy, but it costs extra, and if the hand of the master is the desire, it is no big deal.

principle of operation

With high temperatures for raw wax vytaplivaemogo. As he vytaplivaemogo, depends on the type of construction and its structure.

This can occur under the influence of sunlight through glass, pair, electricity.

Types and their devices

Wax furnaces are different types:

• pairs;
• solar;
• centrifugal;
• power.

Homemade wax furnaces can be made from old appliances, using case Refrigerators, washing machine etc..

The main – strictly follow diagrams and drawings. Each has its advantages:

Sun melts wax furnaces bee product without waste energy; at centrifugal beeswax is heated using centrifuges, which performs tasks paroobrazovatelyu.

It should be noted, that in this way the output is greater wax, than voskopressu; electric model is more convenient compared to solar.

Example, when it is overcast.

pairs voskotopka

This design is good because, that can melt a large amount of wax, which is very important for beekeepers with large apiary.

This unit can be purchased in the store, but it is not cheap. Then why not do it yourself?

Steam generators wax furnaces with your hands can be done with gas cylinder, adapted for the stove stove.

It connects very long hose with a rectangular body, which is designed for standard frames.

It can build from wood, inside of aluminum or zinc.

lower, inner part preferably make an angle to the exit and warm, but glass wool or foam for heat.

At the bottom is placed a grid, curved semicircle. On the reverse side it is desirable to kill three rail thickness 15 mm, for, to the fall Merv wax can easily flow to the exit.

On either side of the inside of the casing nailed 2 eye, they are so hung frame, that is the distance between the bottom of the frame and the bottom.

Before you get beyond, while they last, knives cleared its upper part.

Wish List: there is always propolis, very useful product for medical purposes.

Framework voskotopka of rozrahovana 25-30 framework. The output of a design should be a bowl of water for the finished wax. In water, it cools and is all on the surface.

For this design is not necessary to separate cells from the frame.

Solar wax furnaces

Very convenient model in the construction and operation.

Finding, how to work with it, can even novice beekeeper.

principle of operation:

1. Inside the boxes are put frames with honeycombs.
2. Then the design is set in a sunny place.
3. The glass surface is used as a lens: sunlight heats the wax melts it.
4. Then the wax melts and flows into the container cooked for him.
5. At the edge of the deck is installed special netting, It serves as a filter.

Importantly! When working with a design must adhere to safety: before to tackle housing, need to wear protective gloves: sunlight it gets very hot.

Solar wax furnaces has many advantages:

• this way comes pure product. During the furnace does not have to water and smoke, impurities remain in the raw;
• economic: no need electricity consumption, firewood;
• does not require constant monitoring;
• easy to build with his own hands at home.

Yet there is one drawback. What shall I do, If the weather is not sunny or rainy?

Before you buy or start building solar wax furnaces with their hands, it should consider.

Proceed to step by step instructions:

1. Making the case, whose body height of the front wall, is below 200 mm rear 100 mm. The thickness of the boards 20- 25 mm.
2. Cover design constructed from 2 parts. The wooden table top is covered, when the device for melting the wax is not used.
3. The second looks like a glazed frame with one or two glasses, which is fixed hooks close fitting.
4. Then in the box inserted metal, preferably coated tin tray, which will be wax trough.
5. Peretoplyuvannya product should be based on the net, which should be located between the frame and the metal tray, it does not allow penetration of larvae, impurities.

pay attention! Wax should not touch the glass.

Glazed frame preferably warm cloth between the body and lid, to better heat contained.

The body is painted in black kolir.Konstruktsiyu should be placed on the crossbar, make it easier to return it.

As you can see, make it easy, using scrap materials.

The centrifugal wax furnaces

If you recycle a large amount of raw materials, the method of centrifugation.

This when coupled with a pair of centrifugal force is applied. Such equipment can be bought, but small farms is expensive.

Raw placed in a special bag, lowered into centrifuge, distributed evenly over the surface.

When the centrifuge rotor comes couples. A wax during fueling flows through the tube into the prepared container.

This device is also not difficult to do, and from scrap materials, example, with washer, made of stainless steel.

With wax furnaces in the washing machine

To the right was the unit, need 2 housings and aluminum cover.

The lower part is inserted into dnische, but watch, that it did not reach the floor. The upper part should be free of holes, it will boil water.

principle of operation:

• the upper container is poured water, construction is put on the stove and heated;
• top first placed second machine, and worn bag, which lays raw materials and evaporates;
• After steaming wax bag fits around the screw, included centrifuge. She squeezed all the wax.

Solar-electric wax furnaces

This building is an improved version of a solar wax furnaces. She added heating element, and now the construction works from several power sources.

In case the weather became cloudy Sun, but the work is not finished, technology will need to be connected to the mains.

Size model 65h54h20 cm, which consists of parts of other devices:

1. The base is made from thick planks 20 mm.
2. To use heaters for heating Kitchenette capacity 600 W.
3. Set of iron termokontakt.
4. When the heater is mounted aluminum sheet and termoyzolyuyuchymy, its thickness should be 5 cm and at least. From a letter of tin heater mounted on height 6 cm. On 4 cm above the going electric network.

To better wax dripped, preferably tin sheet to bend 10 cm and bend at the back of the 20 cm.

Production from scrap materials

Wax furnaces can do with pressure cookers, Use old appliance housing, washing machine.

You can make the refrigerator voskoplavku, but a prerequisite, that was inside of the iron or aluminum.

Old refrigerators – is ideal, they are made from metal-coated inside.

Now using plastic, and he can not withstand high temperatures. And note, with large refrigerators will design a considerable size.

Here are the steps, as is done with wax furnaces fridge:

1. First housing exempt from superfluous details.
2. In the back of the hole is cut 5 cm.
3. After the hole is inserted a metal watering can, it can be made from tin, and seal all seams.
4. Then cut another hole for the hose, It will take place in pairs. attached hose, and the other end attached to the need to cover the intended capacity for boiling water and steam in wax furnaces.
5. Refrigerator rests on supports.
6. Inside the device is mounted fine mesh, it will clean wax from Perge and the Dead. Paste it should, easy to frame and placed grid was still a distance. When the hose, through which will pour wax, designed to deliver his capacity.
7. Tank or pot – they, which is intended for boiling water, You can put on the stove and heat it.

Instead stove, can be put into containers electric heater. Homemade wax furnaces ready.

Sokovarka

You can use wax furnaces as sokovarku without design changes.

1. Water tank.
2. Voskozbirnyk.
3. Colander.
4. slice.
5. Hose.

Here are the steps:

1. In the tank filled 2 liters of water.
2. In a colander loaded unprocessed raw materials and put on voskozbirnyk.
3. Will the entire structure and put in oven.
4. Steam penetrates through the holes colander, wax melts, after which flows through the tube into the prepared bowl of water.

Then remove vytopky, and put a new piece of wax. So, comes with wax furnaces sokovarky.

Each type of construction has its advantages and disadvantages. Example, cheapest – solar model.

Steam allows you to leave a clean wax product best quality. The centrifugal – fastest in the, and enables electrical work at any time of day.
