US 2026/0145349 A1 · WAX WIRE APPARATUS AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Abstract

Wax wire devices, systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating removal of hardened paraffin wax from a bulk container. A wax wire apparatus may include a wax container, a horizontal slicing wire loop secured within the wax container, a portion of the horizontal slicing wire loop being disposed in a generally horizontal plane, and a vertical slicing wire loop secured within the wax container, a portion of the wire loop being disposed in a generally vertical plane. Liquid wax may be poured into the wax container and allowed to harden. Pulling the horizontal slicing wire loop out of the hardened wax will create a horizontal slice through the hardened wax. Pulling the vertical slicing wire loop out of the hardened wax will create a vertical slice through the hardened wax, which may be in a vertical plane generally perpendicular to a horizontal plane corresponding to the horizontal slice.
