Foundation machine Puff© for Layens

A beeswax foundation machine is a piece of equipment used in beekeeping to manufacture beeswax sheets, which are used as a foundation for bees to build honeycombs. This equipment consists of a stainless-steel body or frame that holds a silicone mold or plate that shapes and textures the beeswax sheets.

The foundation machine is water-cooled through an internal circuit, which must be connected to a nearby tap to maintain the correct temperature in an open circuit. It is important to note that no demolding agent is required to use it.

The method of use is very simple, just pour the hot wax into the mold and wait for the sheet to cool and solidify. With practice, you can produce between 40-60 sheets per hour.

This foundation machine is for the standard 5.4mm cell size (780 cells/dm²). However, it can also be manufactured on request in different cell sizes, including small 4.9mm and 5.1mm cells, as well as 7mm drone cells.

It is made in a special size for making 30x35cm Layens sheets.

In summary, the foundation machine is an essential piece of equipment for beekeepers who want to produce their own high-quality beeswax sheets efficiently and without the need for demolding agents.
