Wax Melting Device

A wax melting device comprising,

• a melt container for receiving a plurality of honeycomb frames, the melt container including a cover for closing the melt container;
• each honeycomb frame comprising a honeycomb panel and two bearing projections at opposite ends of the honeycomb frame;
• a suspension device comprising two generally parallel and spaced-apart bearing elements attachable to the melt container, the bearing elements being adapted to receive the honeycomb panel bearing projections in a supportive relation;
• a spacing-setting device adapted to receive one of the two bearing elements and defining a plurality of selectable spacings of the bearing elements;
• a sieve disposed at a base of the melt container and adapted to receive molten wax drippings from the honeycomb panels and to retain pomace while allowing molten wax to pass through the sieve;
• an outlet in fluid communication with the melt container and disposed under an upper surface of the sieve, the outlet being adapted to empty molten wax from the melt container;
• and
• a steam generator in fluid communication with the melt container and adapted to deliver steam to the melt container.

A wax melting device, comprising:

• a melt container defined by four side walls and a base wall, the four side walls defining a rectangular shape and comprising a front wall and a back wall generally parallel to each other, and a pair of transverse side walls generally parallel to each other, the combination of the four side walls and the base wall together defining a melt chamber;
• a cover hingedly joined to the back wall of the melt container and defining a closure for the melt chamber;
• an outlet in fluid communication with the melt chamber and emptying to an exterior of the melting device, the outlet being disposed in a wall of the melt container;
• a sieve member disposed in the melt chamber and on the base wall such that a top surface of the sieve is above a top edge of the outlet;
• four telescoping supports disposed near four corners of the base wall of the melt container;
• a steam generator in fluid communication with the melt chamber and adapted to deliver steam to the melt chamber;
• a first bearing element dispose near the front or back wall of the melt chamber;
• a second bearing element generally parallel to the first bearing element and being disposed near an opposing wall of the melt chamber;
• and
• a pair of catch elements attached to opposing transverse walls of the melt chamber and adapted to receive the first or second bearing element in a supportive relation and fixing the distance between the first and second bearing elements, wherein each of the pair of catch elements include a plurality of catch recesses for receiving the first or second bearing element, each catch recess defining a unique distance between the first and second bearing elements.
