Description A water-powered screw wax press with electric heating (hereinafter referred to as a wax press) is designed for the
effectiveextraction of wax from wax raw materials, such as sush or merva, by boiling with subsequent pressing. The wax press
consists of a cylindrical tank, a perforated basket, a screw and a power frame. The power frame, in turn,
consists of a pallet with racks in the lower part and a removable beam in the upper part, which is connected to the lower
part by fingers. In the basket, under the action of the force of the screw, when squeezing the wax, the wick moves. The
tank is covered with a lid on top.
In the front part of the tank there are 6 nozzles for draining wax, in the back – the place for installing the heating element,
the power button, the fuse against overheating and short circuit and the grounding bolt. The tank is insulated from the outside
with 10 mm thick foam. The tank and basket are made of AISI 430 stainless steel. The frame is welded from channels and painted.Disconnect the upper beam of the power frame from the wax press together with the screw, removing the locking fingers. Remove the
cover. Remove the basket from the wax press and place it next to it on a hard, flat surface. Remove the wick from the basket.
Place a sack made of flax (jute, etc.) in the basket and prepare it for loading the wax raw material (open the sack and press it
against the bottom and walls of the basket.
Crush the wax raw material and pour it into the sack, shifting it with drainage material (burlap, straw, etc.) periodically
pressing tightly. The top of the filled sack should be approximately 2 cm below the top of the basket.
Lower the loaded basket into tank 1 and install the wick on top. Pour water into the tank. The water level should not reach the
top of the tank by about 2 cm.
Cover the tank with a lid and install the pressure screw with the beam, slightly pressing the bag with the wax raw material with
the wick (make sure that the end of the screw exactly enters the hole in the wick). Raise the pressure screw to the desired height before doing so. Secure the upper beam in the frame with your fingers and secure with special checks.
Connect the grounding bolt - a copper wire with a cross section of at least 4 mm2.
Connect the plug of the wax press to the mains. Turn on the heating element with the lever. Melt the wax raw material for 0.5-1
hour, then start squeezing it with the forward movement of the screw. After squeezing the melted raw material, leave it in this
state for 15...20 minutes. Then loosen the screw for about the same time, and then repeat this cycle several times until the
screw stops lowering when squeezing the raw material and applying significant effort to its handle.
Next, place a container for collecting wax under the upper tap. Open the tap and pour melted wax with water into the container
(in the melted state, it is collected in the tank at the top).
Disconnect the heating element from the mains by pressing the appropriate lever. Raise the screw as high as possible. Disconnect
the upper beam of the power frame from the wax press together with the screw, removing the locking pins. Remove the cover. Remove
the basket with the pressed marigold from the wax press and place it next to it on a hard, flat surface. Remove the wick from
the basket. Remove the sack with the squeezed marigold and free it. Next, you need to load the sack with fresh wax raw material
into the basket, insert the basket into the tank, add water and replace the cover with the screw and repeat the squeezing cycle.
At the end of the last cycle, drain the water through the bottom tap, placing a container under it.
After finishing work, disassemble the wax press, free the basket from debris, thoroughly clean and rinse the contaminated parts.
