The DANA api MELTER is made from stainless steel and has well insulated double walls. It has a heating element in the lid and one in the bottom.

As a special feature, the melter has a powerful ventilator in the lid that circulates the warm air evenly and quickly and thereby ensures a gentle treatment of the honey.

How to use the melter:

1. The frames and capping wax is placed in the basket. The basket contains up to 120kg capping wax.

2. The bottom thermostat is set to 40°C and the thermostat in the lid is set to 80°C.

3. Honey will run out first because it has a lower melting point than the wax. When all the honey has run off, the wax can be extracted.

4. The undamaged honey I extracted first followed by the liquified wax.

The honey yield is almost 100% so the DANA api will pay for itself in a matter of months. DANA api is also a multifunctional machine that can be used for keeping honey lukewarm or to melt crystallised honey.
