Embedding Transformer 12 V/24 V for Stainless Steel and Tinned Frame Wires

Speed up your frame preparation with a powerful embedding transformer (70 VA). A properly embedded foundation is crucial for every beekeeper – it holds firmly on the wire, the comb remains stable even in the warmth of the hive, and it does not deform during extraction. The transformer is designed to make embedding fast, clean, and without unnecessary cutting through the wax.

A Universal Solution for the Workshop and the Apiary

Whether you wire with stainless steel or tinned wire, this device handles both options. The switchable output voltage of 12 V / 24 V and stepless regulation of embedding intensity via a potentiometer allow you to fine-tune the heating according to the wire type and foundation thickness. The principle is simple: when the contacts are applied, the wire heats up through resistance and smoothly embeds into the wax. With a little practice, you can embed foundations even without a board, which is convenient when working with a large number of frames.

Safe Operation and Overheating Protection

For worry-free work, the transformer is equipped with a resettable thermal fuse. In case of overload or prolonged embedding, the power supply automatically disconnects from the mains and the indicator light goes off. There is no need to disassemble or replace anything – after cooling down, the fuse resets on its own, the indicator light comes back on, and you can continue.

Key Benefits for Beekeepers

1. Versatility: Switchable 12/24 V for different wire types (stainless steel / tinned).
2. Precise regulation: Power adjustment helps prevent cutting through the foundation.
3. Fast work: 70 VA output ensures swift wire heating.
4. Easy handling: Simple operation thanks to insulated banana plugs.

How to Properly Embed Foundations

Recommended procedure for clean and firm embedding:
1. Plug the power cord into a 230 V outlet (the indicator light will turn on).
2. Prepare the frame with tensioned wires and place it on the work surface (or on an embedding board).
3. Place the foundation sheet onto the wires – ideally position it against the bottom bar (bees will build out the upper gap without any problem).
4. Make sure the output contacts (12/24 V) do not touch each other when unloaded.
5. Apply the insulated banana plugs to the wire ends in the frame.
6. As soon as the wire sinks into the wax, immediately disconnect the contacts and let the wax cool and solidify.
Note: Protect the power supply from rain and humid environments.
