Sublimox APF-PLUS

The Sublimox is a device for easily administering oxalic acid vapor in the beehive. It consistently maintains the correct temperature for the oxalic acid, ensuring that only oxalic vapors are released and no formic acid gas is formed. The Sublimox connects to 230V. Operation is simple: place a small lid with oxalic acid upside down on the device. You then turn the device over and the vapors come out. These are vaporized into the beehive, which takes only 25 seconds.

This Sublimox set comes complete with:

• Heating element with handle and automatic temperature regulation
• Two lids for administering oxalic acid
• 3 meter cable for connection to the heating element
• Bag or box for transport
• CE certified

We recommend using a half face mask when working with oxalic acid vapors and always working with the wind at your back. The Sublimox can also be connected to a 12 to 230 volt converter of at least 300W (this is not included!).

When using plastic hives or a plastic bottom board, it can be useful to make a small slat. Make a hole in this that the Sublimox tube fits through precisely. You can place this on the entrance, which prevents the hive from melting because the tube cannot touch the hive.

The sublimox also works on a standard car battery 55-60Ah or more. You need to connect an inverter that can handle at least 300 watts. With a full battery, you can work for about an hour and a half.

Please note that when using a battery, the cable should not be longer than 10 meters. When using the battery over a longer distance, a modified (two-wire) cable with thicker wires is necessary (for example 2.5 mm²) to prevent excessive voltage drop.

Note: we advise against using the Sublimox with beehives made of EPS material, as this can cause damage.
