DANA api Mini Cappings Melter – Carl Fritz
The DANA api Mini Cappings Melter, manufactured by Carl Fritz, is a premium, professional-grade unit designed to efficiently recover both honey and beeswax from uncapping cappings. Engineered in Germany and built from high-quality stainless steel, this compact yet powerful melter delivers reliable performance for serious beekeepers and honey producers.
Using controlled heat combined with forced air circulation from the heated lid, the unit gently melts cappings placed on the internal perforated tray. As the mixture warms, the honey naturally flows down to the bottom of the tank while the lighter wax rises to the surface, allowing the two to separate cleanly without overheating the honey. This efficient process maximises honey recovery while preserving quality.
The Mini Cappings Melter also offers excellent versatility. In addition to processing uncapping wax, it can be used to liquefy crystallised honey or gently warm small buckets or jars of honey when needed, making it a valuable multi-purpose tool in the honey house.
Constructed from durable food-grade stainless steel and equipped with precise thermostat control, the unit provides consistent, dependable results and long service life. Its compact design makes it ideal for professional honey processing spaces where efficiency and quality are essential.
