Perforated stainless steel inner basket, a spare part for the 115-litre steam wax melter. It holds the frames and lets the molten wax run out already filtered of cocoons and comb debris. Stands up to steam and hot water cycle after cycle without corroding. Fit it as a replacement or keep it as a second basket to work without stopping.
The inner basket takes the worst of the punishment inside a steam wax melter: constant steam, hot water and molten wax eventually wear out the original one. This stainless steel spare brings your 115-litre steam wax melter back to full working order, or gives you a second basket so you never have to wait between loads.
The basket always works at the harshest spot in the melter: wrapped in steam and splashed with hot water and wax. Stainless steel shrugs off those cycles, keeps the perforations clear and won't darken the wax the way iron, zinc or brass would.
Load in the frames or pieces of old comb and the steam melts the wax, which runs out through the perforations already free of cocoons, pupal skins and comb debris — the solid dirt stays trapped in the basket. This is a physical filtering of the visible impurities, not a sterilisation or decontamination of the wax.
A spare basket isn't only for when the original wears out. With two baskets you don't wait to empty and cool down: while one melts inside the machine, you load the next batch into the other. On a foundation change across several hives, it cuts the dead time between loads.
