Melt wax
Clean beeswax is ideal for pouring into blocks or making candles—preferably using our wax melters, wax buckets, and wax bowls.
Here you will find equipment for melting, collecting, pouring, and making candles.
Your own beeswax:
Making candles from your own beeswax requires several clarification processes to clean the wax of residues. These are often invisible to the naked eye, but cause the candles to burn uncleanly.
Our tip:
By repeatedly liquefying and slowly cooling the wax, pomace residues and other suspended solids can slowly collect and settle at the bottom. Once cooled, scrape them off with a stick chisel. Repeat this process until the candles burn cleanly. Alternatively, use our double-purified beeswax pastilles (item 12103) made from 100% pure beeswax for candle making.
If you would like to continue processing your melted wax straight away, take a look at our foundation sheet production or our candle moulds.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions about our wax buckets and wax bowls
Aluminum reacts with acids and alkalis: beeswax contains natural components such as free fatty acids, propolis residues, and other impurities. These can have slightly acidic or alkaline properties, especially if the wax has not been completely purified. Aluminum is a base metal and reacts easily with such substances. It can corrode or oxidize, allowing particles to enter the wax, which is undesirable for subsequent processing. In addition, uncoated aluminum can release metal ions at higher temperatures, such as those generated when melting beeswax (approx. 65–75°C), in combination with moisture or acids, which would impair the smell or purity of the wax.
