The Simon The Beekeeper 18V Automatic Oxalic Acid Vaporiser is a cordless vaporiser for applying oxalic acid in Varroa treatment. It runs on a compatible 18V power-tool battery, so it needs no mains electricity and no separate 12V battery.
It heats electrically and automatically, up to an operating temperature of 200°C. The body is stainless steel. There are two on/off switches, one at the battery fitting and one on the rear control unit. It is compact and portable for use out in the apiary.
Oxalic acid vaporisation requires protective clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles and an appropriate respirator. Use the vaporiser outdoors only and never in the rain. The unit stays hot for some time after use, so let it cool completely before handling, transporting or storing it.
