Now that you have a Maxant extractor, why don't you try to find a maxant
capping melter. Maxant doesn't make them anymore, but Rick Thibeau at maxant
might know of a used one. Consists of a water jacketed tank, with an infared
hood above. The honey doesn't have to be over heated to melt the honey. The wax
comes out a beautiful yellow. Best part, all your cappings are melted at the
end of the day.
