Battery-Powered Sublimator Instantvap Turbo

🔥 Real power: 2 g sublimated in 10 seconds

The difference between sublimating at 230 °C and 260 °C isn't just speed — it's efficacy. A study conducted during the Turbo's development showed that at 260 °C the vapour contains up to 73% oxalic acid with only 6% formic acid, delivering maximum acaricidal action with minimal degradation of the active ingredient. At 230 °C, those same 2 g take 25 seconds; at 260 °C, just 10. The manufacturer's official recommendation is clear: always work in Turbo mode at 260 °C.

🔋 No cables, no generator — 18V battery and go

Compatible with 18V/20V batteries from Makita®, DeWalt®, Bosch®, Milwaukee®, Parkside® and other major brands. Range depends directly on amp-hours: a 6 Ah battery covers around 30 hives; 8 Ah gets you to 40-45; 12 Ah takes you past 60. The key is choosing the right Ah for your operation — and that's where the Turbo scales from a hobbyist with 10 hives to a commercial outfit running hundreds. One important note: avoid cheap generic batteries from dubious sources. There are documented cases of fake 8 Ah batteries that couldn't even heat the crucible.

⚡ Professional setup: hundreds of hives without breaking a sweat

There's a persistent myth that battery sublimators aren't built for commercial use. The field data says otherwise. An Australian beekeeper treats 120 hives in 20-25 minutes working solo with 3 Turbos. Two brothers run through 120 hives in 40 minutes with 2 units. No generator-powered sublimator gives you that speed and freedom of movement. The recommended pro setup: 2 Turbos + 2 Parkside® 12 Ah batteries (a quarter of the price of other brands, same performance). While you're sublimating with one, the other cools down and the spare battery charges on the vehicle inverter. No downtime, no cables dragged between hives, no hauling a generator from apiary to apiary. Just 1.25 kg in your hand and the job done.

📊 LED display with all the info you need

No more guesswork. The built-in LED display shows real-time crucible temperature (adjustable between 230 and 260 °C), battery voltage and a cycle counter so you can keep accurate track of how many hives you've treated. The status LED clearly indicates whether the unit is heating, ready or vaporising — visible even in full sunlight. It also includes deep-discharge protection for the battery, so you won't be caught out mid-round.

🏗️ The best of the Compact and the Original, in one unit

Until now you had to choose: the Compact for its ergonomics and stability, or the Original for its display and advanced settings. The Turbo brings both lines together: the robust, easy-to-handle design of the Compact with the information and controls of the Original, plus more power and a wider range of settings. Built from stainless steel with a replaceable brass nozzle, the doser adjusts from 1 to 4 g without tools. At just 1.25 kg without the battery, it's a unit you can carry all day without fatigue.

⚠️ Responsible use — registered veterinary medicines only

The InstantVap® Turbo is designed for use with registered veterinary medicines whose active ingredient is oxalic acid. Always check the products authorised in your country and follow the manufacturer's dosage instructions. The use of pure oxalic acid in any form is prohibited in most jurisdictions and constitutes an illegal practice. A gas-protection respirator is mandatory during treatment. Remember that oxalic acid does not penetrate capped brood: for maximum efficacy, treat during periods of little or no brood.
