Wax-conditioning apparatus
Abstract
Abstract A wax-melting and conditioning device comprises an airtight tank of material providing fast heat transfer, heating means for the tank, inwardly extending fins to increase the heat transfer to the wax, outwardly extending fins, if necessary, to cool the wax quickly to suitable injection temperature, means for agitating the wax in the tank and a vacuum pump for deaerating the wax during the melting and curing period. The tank is also equipped with at least one heated flexible hose for direct connection to a hot wax reservoir of a wax-injection machine equipped to transfer the wax from the melting tank to the injection machine reservoir free of air by moving a piston in the reservoir in a manner to suck wax over from the tank.
