Oxalika Oxalic Acid Vaporizer for bees is an Oxalic acid vaporizer, battery powered, cordless. Runs on many brands of 18-volt lithium-ion batteries (not included). It heats up in just 2 minutes and is ready for sublimation.
The number of treatments you can do with a battery depends on the capacity of the battery. With a 5Ah battery, about 40 2-gram treatments can be made if the vaporizer is cold and about 50 if it is already hot. This vaporizer is designed to use standard oxalic acid like Api-Bioxal or other.
Includes spring plunger and Smart Valve: this is the easiest to use and best performing model. The spring plunger remains cold, you use it only to insert the dose on the appropriate cavity located at the top of the Smart valve. This can be done during sublimation, thus without losing time between sublimations. The spring plunger can be easily adjusted from 1 gr up to 4 gr per dose by rotating the threaded portion of the unit.
Battery protection: have a built-in system that turns off the sublimator when it detects that the battery is low by protecting it from over discharge (an over discharged battery cannot be recharged and becomes unusable). An indicator light will indicate the status of the battery: it will be lit green if the battery is charged and will turn red when the battery is almost completely discharged and the device is about to turn off. Rechargeable battery adapter plates available for: DeWalt, Bosch, Milwaukee and Makita – please specify the model you need. Available with adapters that allow the use of various brands of 18-volt LiIon batteries. Ask us if you need an adapter brand that is not listed.
Power 240 watts.
Interchangeable tube: in just a few steps you can replace the diffuser tube, choosing the one that best suits your treatment. With the “S” curved tube you will be able to easily apply from the entrance. Instead, with the 90-degree curved tube you will be able to treat from above using the hole for the feeder. With the straight tube you can treat the hives by drilling a hole in the back side of the hive or the back side of the inverted inner cover. The tubes are made of high-strength copper and are all included with the oxalic acid vaporizer.
Anchor bracket: the anchor bracket is included and improves the stability of the vaporizer / sublimator unit in treatments from the flight opening.
Aluminum boiler with internally accessible and unobstructed sublimation chamber (patent pending).
Aluminum ensures more even temperature distribution without the formation of “hot spots” and “cold spots.” The accessible sublimation chamber allows for thorough cleaning necessary to keep the vaporizer efficient after many uses.
Insulated boiler makes the device efficient in low ambient temperatures and the presence of wind and contributes to battery savings.
Oxalika Oxalic Acid Vaporizer Instructions for Use: OXALIKA PRO BATTERY / CORDLESS
How does the temperature control system in the OXALIKA Battery Vaporizer Cordless model work?
The temperature control system uses a platinum temperature probe built into the boiler. The system is designed and manufactured entirely in Italy with first-rate components for specific use in oxalic acid sublimators. All those functions found in normal temperature controllers that would be unnecessary in a vaporizer but would make its use more complicated and more likely to fail have been eliminated. Therefore, operation is very simple: by pressing the + and – buttons, you can set the desired temperature. Since this is a control system designed specifically for use with sublimators, it is impossible to set a temperature higher than 240°C (464°F), and this prevents the end user from setting a temperature too high that would damage the bees and the sublimator itself. The control is very precise, and overheating beyond the set value is limited to 2-3 °C.
Can the temperature also be displayed in degrees Fahrenheit?
Yes. Holding down the – button for 5 seconds will switch to the temperature unit change mode, and the display will show a C or F depending on whether the unit in Centigrade or Fahrenheit is selected. At this point to switch from one to the other, simply press the + key, and after about 10 seconds since the last selection, the vaporizer will begin to display the temperature in the selected unit of measure. Usually when the product leaves the factory it has the temperature unit set according to the customer’s country.
