Ideal for Beeswax Candle Making

Whether you're making moulded beeswax candles, dipped candles or preparing wax for larger production runs, having a suitable stainless steel container makes handling melted beeswax more convenient.

The Carl Fritz Wax Pot is useful for holding liquid beeswax while preparing moulds, filling pouring jugs or working through batches of candles.

Its generous 12.5-litre maximum capacity makes it particularly appealing to beekeepers and candle makers who have outgrown smaller domestic wax containers.

When combined with the appropriate heating equipment, it can also form part of a practical wax melting setup that keeps beeswax liquid during candle production.

Create a Complete Beeswax Melting Setup

This stainless steel wax pot is designed to work alongside compatible Carl Fritz heating accessories.

Carl Fritz identifies the following equipment for use with this wax pot:

1. Electric Melting Pot – Carl Fritz Reference 6090234

A separate 29-litre electric heating vessel with a 2,000W heating element and adjustable temperature control.

The stainless steel wax pot can be used with this heating vessel to create an indirect water-heated arrangement, allowing beeswax to be kept liquid during candle making or foundation production.

2. Stainless Steel Cover Ring – Carl Fritz Reference 5009232-01

The cover ring is positioned between the electric heating vessel and the stainless steel wax pot, helping to reduce steam escaping from the heating arrangement.

3. Matching Stainless Steel Lid – Carl Fritz Reference 47500083

The optional lid fits the 12.5-litre wax pot and helps reduce cooling at the surface while protecting the wax from dust and debris.

Important: The electric melting pot and cover ring are not included with this listing and are not currently stocked by Gwenyn Gruffydd. The matching lid is included only when you select the Wax Pot + Matching Lid option.

If you're interested in putting together the complete setup, please contact us and we can discuss availability of the additional components.

Suitable for Beeswax Foundation Production

As well as candle making, Carl Fritz recommends this pot for working with beeswax used in foundation casting.

The pot can be used to hold melted beeswax ready for transferring to suitable foundation moulds or casting equipment.

When used with the compatible heating arrangement, it can help maintain a supply of liquid wax throughout the casting process.

Why Choose Stainless Steel?

Stainless steel is a practical choice for beeswax processing equipment because it is durable, easy to clean and suitable for repeated use.

Unlike some other metals, stainless steel is also a suitable material for contact with beeswax, helping avoid unwanted discolouration associated with reactive metal containers.

The Carl Fritz pot's seamless construction provides a smooth interior that's straightforward to clean after use.

Technical Specifications

Important Information

This is a stainless steel wax pot, not a standalone electric wax melter. It does not contain a heating element.

To use it as part of a heated wax melting system, additional compatible equipment is required.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when using the pot with heating equipment. Molten beeswax can cause serious burns, and beeswax must never be heated unattended.

Allow the pot and its contents to cool sufficiently before handling or moving.
