General Description
The Wax Dispenser is designed for on-demand delivery of molten wax. The novel design of the instrument ensures
that it takes up a minimum bench space in the laboratory, whilst still maintaining a large 7.5L capacity tank, for
melting up to 6kg of pelletized wax at a time. The Wax Dispenser has digital temperature control which provides
accurate temperature control of the molten wax, and is coupled with an ultra fast heating system for rapid melting
of pelletized wax. Delivery of molten wax is via a non-drip lever tap, which is heated via a dedicated heating
system, which prevents blockages resulting from solidified wax and ensures an even flow of wax. The inner tank has
a filter screen (0.5mm mesh) fitted to prevent coarse particles from blocking the delivery tap. The tank is also fully
insulated to prevent heat loss from the tank and to ensure that the outer surfaces of the tank are safe to touch.
