2. Depending on the desired consistency, re-
duce the Waxprofi ’s temperature as follows:
a) Liquid consistency:
Once the wax has completely melted, turn
the Waxprofi ’s temperature down to the
liquefaction point of the wax.
b) Viscous or spreadable consistency:
Once the wax has liquefied to the point
where it fills the pot to approx. the ¾-full
level (Figure 6), reduce the Waxprofi ’s
temperature in stages until the desired
consistency is obtained.
5.2 Wa Bunsen Burner
When processing wax with the
Waxprofi
in
conjunction with a Bunsen burner, the wax knife
need only be briefly heated in the burner flame
since the already heated wax in the
Waxprofi
requires hardly any additional heat in order to
be processed.
This saves both time and makes handling the
base wax significantly easier.
5.3 Wa Electric Wax Knife
Match your Waxprofi to your electric wax knife.
This offers the best prerequisites for quickly and
precisely performing the wax tasks for full and
partial dentures.
Teeth can set up and gums can be modelled
without the delays inherent in the melting time,
and without the distraction of the burner flame.
The wax is never overheated. This keeps
contraction to a minimum, thus saving the
time required for subsequent corrective work
or allowing you to complete your set up more
rapidly.
Good results can be obtained with Renfert’s
Waxlectric I or II electric waxing-up instruments.
Using the large tip
(Art. No. 2155-0105) or the chamfer tip
(Art. No. 2155-0106) we recommend setting
the Waxlectric to a temperature of 130 - 150 °C
(266 - 302 °F).
Please note:
If the power supply is interrupt
ed (e.g., as the result of a mains
power failure) while the Waxprofi
is switched on, the unit returns to
its previous operating mode once
power is restored.
Notes / Tips on Operation:
• The Waxprofi can also be used for
modelling wax or light wax.
• Refill the pot regularly. Renfert rec -
ommends GEO pink modelling wax,
No. 647-0000.
• Close the lid to reduce the heating
time.
• Do not overheat the wax in the
Waxprofi.
• Use the inner rim of the pot to strip
off excess wax.
• When working with wax in a viscous
or spreadable consistency, do not
close the lid during short work inter -
ruptions, otherwise the trapped heat
will completely liquefy the wax.
• When working with the Waxlectric,
good results can be obtained with tip
numbers 2155-0104, -0105, -0106,
-0110, and -0111 at a temperature of
130 - 150 °C (266 - 302 °F).
• Some waxes may form a surface skin
with reduced temperatures. The skin
can be easily dissolved by means of
stirring.
• To obtain a viscous or spreadable
consistency, heat the wax until a
majority has been liquefied
(approx. ¾ of the pot content), then
turn down the Waxprofi’s tempera -
ture until the desired consistency is
achieved.
• A uniform consistency can be ob -
tained more quickly by stirring the pot
contents.
• Some waxes may separate, that is,
individual colour pigments separate
out of the base material. Simply stir
the wax to return it to its original,
homogenous state.
Exceptions to this are when the Wax -
profi is used in conjunction with:
- Solidus 84 (Yeti);
- “Hardy” modelling wax (Gebdi).
