Solar Wax Melter

Please add a groove in the support arm to accommodate a hair pin/R-clip. The support bar keeps walking out when moving the solar melter.

I bought this at the EMBC in February and man do I love this melter. I had been using a crockpot and you have to remember to keep an eye on it because you could catch your wax on fire. This you set it in the yard fill it with your wax cappings and forget about. When you remember you had put a batch of wax in you go over and blame your beautiful rendered wax. Hard to believe a paper towel can filter wax so clean. Thanks John

Easy to setup, easy to clean, beautiful clean wax!!

I have been using crockpot method for sometime and got tired of having to do it over and over and over to get clean wax. First time run on a mostly overcast day and I had the cleanest wax ever with only 1 day. I doubled the paper towel and couldn't be happier. Wish I had known how much better this was couple years ago!

Since we are a small scale operation right now. We started this year with 7 hives and now have 12 Queen right hives. We got this Solar melter to make it easier through out the season melting comb as we scrape it off the frames or cleaning up old frames. It has been so easy just taking what comb we get off the hives on each inspection and just putting it in the melter and let it go to work. Most days our melter is sitting in our greenhouse and it still melts the wax. But on sunny days we bring out into the direct sun and it works much faster. We keep the pan scraped off every few days of non-wax leftovers. We will see when we get capping's after harvesting our honey if we use this or the water bath melting. I highly recommend this Solar Wax Melter, Thanks Hillco as always for outstanding products.
