The study of wax raw materials ultrasonic cleaning

The aim of the study is to determine rational parameters and modes of the process of cleaning honeycombs from perga in water under the action of ultrasound. The main pollutant of wax raw materials, significantly reducing the quality and yield of commercial wax during digging, is perga. The most promising from the point of view of industrial application is preliminary cleaning of bee cells from perga before thermal overfilling. The results of early studies show that the technology of removing bee pollen from the cells of the honeycomb by leaching in water has good prospects. To activate the process of leaching perga in water, it is proposed to use ultrasonic action. The study presents the methods and results of the experiment to determine the effectiveness of cleaning samples of honeycombs under the influence of ultrasound in water. The influence of two factors - the time of exposure to ultrasound and the time of soaking the cells before ultrasound treatment - on the percentage of removed perga is investigated...
