Professional Wax Processing. Maximum Honey Recovery.
If you're serious about maximising your honey yield, this is one of the most efficient tools you can add to your honey house.
Manufactured in Germany by Carl Fritz, this premium mini cappings melter is designed to recover high-quality honey from wax cappings without overheating or damaging flavour, aroma or enzymes.
We use this exact machine in our own honey house, where it has become an essential part of our processing setup. It is reliable, efficient, and consistently delivers excellent recovery of saleable honey.
Why This Melter Stands Out
- Recover more saleable honey from cappings
- No overheating – preserves flavour and quality
- Fast processing – up to 40kg per cycle
- Even heat distribution with fan-assisted system
- Dual-purpose: also suitable for liquefying honey buckets and jars
- Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel
This is not simply a wax melter, but a tool that directly improves yield and reduces waste.
How It Works
Cappings are placed on the internal grid and heated
As the contents melt:
- Honey, being heavier, sinks to the bottom
- Wax rises and forms a layer on top
This allows you to first drain clean, undamaged honey, followed by the lighter wax. The process is efficient, hygienic and requires no pressing.
Processing Time
- Approximately 3–4 hours per batch depending on wax condition
- Capacity of up to 40kg per load
