My wife and I are about to begin producing beeswax candles in a more serious
(ie higher volume) way.  One particular that I have not worked out yet is
this:

How can one efficiently filter large volumes (several hundred lbs at a time)
of beeswax to make it suitable for fine quality candles?  For the small
numbers we have been making so far we have been pouring it by hand through
cheese cloth and various other things, but the wax quickly hardens on them
and the process is labour intensive.

Any suggestions?

Frank.
