- It complements both the Paraffin Wax Mounting Bath and the Slide Drying Bench to provide a complete set of paraffin wax sampling equipment for the modern laboratory.
- The Paraffin Wax Dispenser has a 4.5 litre capacity to ensure an ample supply of wax on tap.

- An excellent feature is that the wax dispenser tap is kept heated to ensure that the wax always remains flowing and on tap.
- The dispenser tap is heated by an independent temperature-controlled element mounted inside it, which prevents the wax from cooling down, solidifying and blocking the tap.
- The tap is a non-drip swivel lever and has a replaceable filter.
- There is a mains power On/Off switch, with 4 additional neon lights to indicate:.
- “Power On” (white neon).
- “Wax Bath Heater On” (amber neon).
- “Tap Heater On” (amber neon).
- “Wax Bath Over Temperature” (red warning neon).
- The bath heater rotary control dial has a graded temperature scale, and the temperature of the paraffin wax dispenser is controlled by a built-in thermostat controlling the temperature from ambient to 75°C.
- The tap has its own tap heater adjustment control.
- If an over temperature condition occurs, a “Wax Bath Over Temperature” red neon light will illuminate and the heater control for the bath will automatically turn off at 105°C.
- For added safety, a non-resettable thermal fuse has also been included.
- The Paraffin Wax Dispenser has a black PTFE coated aluminium interior, a powder coated black and white aluminium exterior and a durable black metal lid.
