Wood-Fired Steam Generator ApiNord® 23 liters
Do you want a reliable source of steam for melting beeswax without dependence on electricity or gas? Wood-Fired Steam Generator ApiNord® with a volume of 23 liters is a practical and economical choice for beekeepers who need to work at the apiary even outside the reach of an electrical outlet – while melting wax quickly and smoothly.
The generator is made of solid steel and is designed for heating with firewood up to 50 cm in length. The closed combustion chamber together with the steam generation system retains heat well and uses energy efficiently. With one water filling, the device can work for approximately 2–3 hours, so you can focus on melting combs, cappings, and trimmings without frequent refilling.
Why choose ApiNord® steam generator
The biggest advantage is independence and low operating costs. There's no need to deal with gas cylinders or power supply at the site – you simply heat with wood, which is commonly available at the apiary. The device can also be used as a practical 2-in-1 solution: primarily serves as a steam generator for steam wax melters, and thanks to the integrated tank can also serve as a source of hot water, for example for rinsing and washing beekeeping equipment directly in the field.
Main features and advantages
The package includes an adapter for connection to steam wax melters ApiNord®, Bieno®, SIPA® and a range of other wax melters or uncapping tanks. Safe operation is supported by a pressure relief valve that monitors pressure inside the system.

Important safety and maintenance information
The generator is intended for outdoor use only. High temperatures are generated during operation – use protective gloves and follow fire safety principles (have a fire extinguisher or sand within reach).
Note on aesthetics: Due to high temperatures, the black paint may peel over time. This is a normal phenomenon without affecting function or lifespan. If you want to preserve the appearance, exposed areas can be painted with heat-resistant paint (up to 800°C).
Instructions for use
Please note that the device works with open flame and generates considerable heat. Therefore, protect yourself and all persons working with the device from possible injury and carefully read the operating instructions before use. Also keep in mind that the device is intended exclusively for outdoor use (e.g., for beekeeping work such as wax melting).
Safety instructions
It is necessary to follow the safety and operating instructions stated in the supplied user manual as well as applicable legal regulations for accident prevention.
Persons who are unable to operate the device safely due to their physical, sensory, or mental abilities, inexperience, or lack of knowledge must not use the device, or only under supervision or after training by a responsible person.
Unprofessional interventions and modifications can worsen functionality and, if performed incorrectly, cause serious damage to health and property. In case of unauthorized modifications, the warranty typically expires.
Read the supplied operating manual before use.
Use thermally insulating protective gloves.
From the perspective of accident prevention regulations, this is a wood-burning appliance. The following safety rules must be observed:
- Never leave the wood-fired steam generator unattended. Always have a functional fire extinguisher and/or a container with at least 5 liters of silica sand ready.
- Never extinguish the fire in the combustion chamber with water — there is a life-threatening risk of violent ignition (deflagration). Extinguish the fire by cutting off oxygen access (closing the air supply).
- Minimum distance from flammable materials is 2 meters. During operation, there must be no flammable objects near the stove.
- The device may only be operated outside the forest and at a distance of at least 100 meters from forest stands. Follow the legal regulations applicable in your country/region.
- Do not use any explosive, highly flammable, or solvent liquids in the wax melter — there is a risk of fire and explosion.
- Before each use and after it, check the product for damage. In case of damage, call a specialist for repair.
- Perform maintenance only after the device has cooled down — never during operation or when the device is hot.
- Keep children and animals at a safe distance from the operating steam generator to prevent burns.
