the comb foundation mill is used for embossing plain and pure beeswax sheets with the exact cell outlin of the honeycomb for fixing into the frames of a beehive. Such embossed comb foundation sheet from a base for the bees to build up new combs. this helps to conserve the energies of bees to secure drawn-out combs of adequate cell-size duly related to natural body-size of local races of bees for.

the main structure of the comb foundation mill consist of two rollers fixed horizontally close together in a cast iron frame. The surface of these rollers has a honeycomb cell design which embosses the comb foundation sheet.

Technical Process of comb foudation production line

Making comb foundation is a complicated task, requiring not only skill and experience but also a costly foundation mill, preferably of the type composed of two precision-engraved rollers, used by manufacturers. while a few large-scale beekeeping operators and cooperatives may be in a position to own such a mill, most beekeepers find it more convenient to buy their foundation ready-made.

Processing:  All of the beeswax that we use in comb foundation manufacture is first heated to approx 110 deg C  before being micro filtered to remove all dross and moisture.

the filtered liquid beeswax then passes to the " Weed Process" sheeting machine.  this converts the beeswax from a liquid state into a continuous flat sheet  and is one of the secrets of making high quality comb foundation.  during this process, the beeswax gains greatly in elasticity and strength to the point where a piece of cold comb foundation can be scrunched up and then flattened out again without breaking.

the rolls of sheet then pass to the automatic milling machine.  The pure beeswax sheet passes between two precision engraved rollers which imprint the pattern onto the beeswax. 

the continuous sheet is then cut to width before being cut to length.  The finished sheets are then weighed before being packed in cartons.

Throughout the process, stringent quality control checks are continuously carried out.

the life of our Comb Foundation if stored in its original packaging in dry conditions is indefinite.  Because of its purity, it is not attacked by wax moths.

 

Part 1- Melting Cappings

Wax foundation is a thin sheet of beeswax that is embossed with the hexagonal shape that the bees naturally form for their honeycomb.

most beeswax foundation is contaminated from the use of toxic chemicals used by beekeepers in the hives to treat disease. the chemicals remain in the wax, which is processed into wax foundation. most beekeepers purchase this commercial foundation for use in their hives. Organic standards allow plastic foundation dipped in organic beeswax, but many organic beekeepers including Volcano Island Honey Company and Hawaiian Queen Company, feel strongly that plastic should not be used in bee hives.

Making beeswax foundation in a small-scale farm setting is a lost art, there are not many people who know how to do it as the process has been industrialized in developed countries. The fact that it is not possible to purchase organic foundation makes this project a necessity for apiaries who do not want to use plastic foundations.
