Hive World's own manufacture: the Paraffin Dipping Tank. Would you like to be able to paraffin dip your own supers, baseboards and other wooden bee-gear? The Hive World Paraffin Wax Dipping tank - carefully designed to make this potentially dangerous job safer and easier. No need to put your hands anywhere near the hot wax. The boxes are lowered into the wax as you close one lid. When they are ready to remove from the tank, opening the lid brings them out of the wax without needing to touch them. The two lids with clamps allow two boxes to be dipping while you are securing the next boxes ready on the other lid. While the second lot are being dipped, the first ones quickly drain and are ready for you to paint and replace with the next lot for dipping. Dipping two boxes at a time keeps you or your worker fully employed therefore no time wasting! Clamping boxes, painting and stacking completed supers is a great way to spend a cold winter's day!
- Lids have drain holes to allow the drained wax to return to tank
- The sides of the tank are insulated
- Tank comes with overflow pipe in case of boil-over
- Temperature gauge for correct/safe temperature regulation
- Includes 2 x 4 ring gas burners
Paraffin wax dipper
Paraffin wax dipper by Hiveworld NZ
The Paraffin wax dipping tank has been designed to make this essential but previously dangerous job safe and simple:- No need to put your hands anywhere near the hot wax while working.
- The sides are insulated for efficient heating and for protection against accidental burns.
- There is a temperature gauge fitted so you can ensure the correct temperature is maintained and not exceeded.
- Fitted with an overflow pipe in case of boilover.
It has two lids with clamps to hold your boxes so while two are being dipped, the others can be draining and then painted while still hot to let the paint be absorbed into the timber. (If the waxed box dries the paint won’t stick).
With this model one person can easily dip and paint up to 250 boxes a day.
Customer comment –I can leave my young worker dipping and painting by himself knowing he will not burn himself or the building down.
Included are two x 4-ring gas burners to heat the wax, however you will need to supply the gas bottles.
Please Note: If you allow the dipper to cool off with the lids down you will need to warm the tank to melt the paraffin so you are able to raise the lids again as the wax will have solidified around them.
