Rather than have to go through a process of warming and filtering in batches I was wondering about setting up a filtration process in a 70C environment so that it could be more continuous. All I would need to do is feed raw wax onto the filter and clean wax would come out into a suitable container. When its full switch it all off and wait for it to cool and leave me with nice clean wax.
An old fridge would do as an insulated box and should stand 70C inside without a problem.
Heat source could be a 500w security floodlight as it has a waterproof design with a good heat source inside.
I've got an STC1000 thermostat to control the temperature closely.
Has anyone else tried this or is it likely to fail for something I haven't thought of?
