14 Wax Dispensers Operator Guide Thermo Fisher Scientific
Chapter 2 Wax DispenserThe Wax Dispenser holds up to 5 litres of wax at a thermostatically controlled temperature. Wax is delivered via a two-position tap: the first position allows wax to be dispensed only while the lever is held down, and the second position allows the lever to be locked open for continuous flow (this may require you to turn the lever). A 0.5mm mesh at the base of the reservoir prevents coarse debris from blocking the delivery assembly. A separate tap heater ensures an even flow of wax.
Figure 1 shows the main features of the Wax Dispenser.
