Oxamat - Oxalic acid evaporation machine »
The varroa mites are fought by the fine distribution of the evaporated
oxalic acid in the closed cycle with the bee's hive extremely
effectively. By several applications in the time without brood -
efficiency of approximately 99%
Very high user's safety
Low power consumption
The evaporation bowl can be filled easily outside the hive body
The oxalic acid air current is continuously kept in a cycle by the bees,
at the beginning of the evaporation. Besides, the fine coat of hair of
the bees has an effect like a filter. Therefore already after 6 minutes
there are no free gases anymore. The ventilator continued to run till
it is clamped. It deposits no oxalic acid in the hive parts or honey
combs. You can treat approximately 10 bee colonies with it per hour.
The heating switches itself off after 5 minutes, the current consumption
is therefore very small, 0.75 Ah per evaporation. With a 36 ah car
battery 48 bee colonies can be treated approximately
No bee queen and/or bee losses (the breeding activity is not reduced) - no fodder robbery, oxalic acid smells perfectly neutral
Also suitable for plastic hive bodies, because there's no concentrated heat development in the hive body
The evaporation method is extremely cheap, one treatment costs only a
few cent. A press for the self manufacturing of oxalic acid tablets
would be worth buying
