De-Waxer

Recover Wax & Protect Your Furnace The Imtex Steam De-Waxer is designed to efficiently remove wax from investment flasks before they enter the burnout furnace. By using high-pressure steam, this machine melts the wax out of the mold in minutes without drying or cracking the investment plaster.

This step is critical for two reasons: it allows you to recover and reuse a significant portion of your wax, and it prevents the heavy smoke and carbon residue that occurs when burning large amounts of wax directly in a kiln. The result is a cleaner workshop, a longer-lasting furnace, and better casting quality.

Key Features

  • High-Speed Dewaxing: Melts 95% of wax from flasks in just 15–20 minutes using penetrating steam heat.

  • Wax Recovery System: Features a built-in collection tray/drain that separates the melted wax from the water, allowing you to reclaim it for reuse or resale.

  • Furnace Protection: By removing the bulk of the wax first, you eliminate the source of corrosive fumes that damage expensive furnace heating elements.

  • Automatic Operation: Equipped with a digital timer and auto-cut-off to prevent dry running or overheating.

  • Safety First: Includes a heavy-duty safety valve, pressure gauge, and water level indicator to ensure safe operation under pressure.

  • Full Stainless Steel Body: Constructed entirely from SS 304/316 grade stainless steel to resist rust and corrosion from steam and wax acids.

Ideal Applications

  • Pre-Burnout Processing: Essential for all “lost wax” casting setups to prepare flasks for the kiln.

  • Wax Reclamation: For large production houses looking to save costs by recycling runner/sprue wax.

  • Parts Cleaning: Can also be used to steam clean heavy machinery parts or metal components.
