you are: Processing of wax raw materials on an apiary

Wax processing on pasechnom voskopresse. In connection with that that the wax raw materials contain a considerable quantity of not wax components, in the beginning days soak it in water. Thus the part of not wax components is dissolved and voskovitost raw materials raises. Then raw materials place in a tank, fill in soft (rain or river) with water and razvarivajut. Boiling of the softened weight is supported by 20-30 mines before transformation of raw materials in soft kashitsu. Dark honeycombs and vytopki, received on voskotopke, razvarivajut to 2 ch.

After razvarivanija wax raw materials it press on voskopresse. In the case voskopressa place a package from a sacking and in it a scoop pour razvarennoe raw materials. Then a package fasten and start to rotate slowly the screw handle voskopressa, gradually increasing pressure. If at once on a package with razvarennym wax raw materials to press with the big force the sacking can be broken off and kashitseobraznaja the weight of raw materials mixes up with the wrung out wax. If wax stiffens on a sacking surface in voskopress pour out a small amount of hot water and strengthen pressure of the screw. The wrung out wax flows down in the ware substituted under a press.

Merv, remained after the wrung out wax, contains to 60-70% of water and 30-40% of wax. Its thin layer place on sheet of plywood and carefully dry up, and then hand over on voskozagotovitelnye points.

For improvement of quality of the wrung out wax it is necessary, that the fused wax cooled down as it is possible more slowly. In this case (cocoons, pollen, a dirt) will settle mechanical impurity on a bottom or will fall asleep from the bottom party of an ingot, whence they are easy for cleaning off.
