Replacement Heating Element for Swiss Biene and Mellarius Steam Generator 2.2 kW – Complete Repair Kit

Get your steam generator back up and running without buying a new unit

Has your steam generator stopped heating properly in the middle of the beekeeping season? In most cases, there is no need to purchase a new device. The common cause of failure is a damaged heating element or a worn-out thermal fuse. This repair kit enables quick replacement of essential parts and helps restore your equipment to working order in a short time. You will save the cost of a new steam generator and minimize delays in rendering beeswax or other tasks in your beekeeping operation.

Safer operation thanks to a new thermal fuse and gaskets

When working with bees and beekeeping equipment, it can happen that all the water evaporates from the steam generator. In such a situation, the bimetallic thermal fuse is designed to cut off the device and protect it from excessive overheating. However, this safety component has a limited lifespan and can become permanently damaged after repeated dry running. That is why the kit includes not only a powerful 2.2 kW heating element but also a new thermal fuse with a socket and the necessary gaskets to restore proper sealing of the steam generator.

Practical use for wax rendering and disinfection

A repaired Swiss Biene or Mellarius steam generator will once again deliver the consistent performance needed for rapid production of hot steam. This is essential for efficient rendering of beeswax in wax melters as well as for hygienic cleaning of frames, supers, and other beekeeping equipment. Regular hot steam treatment helps improve hygiene in your operation and can contribute to reducing the risk of spreading bee diseases, such as American foulbrood or nosemosis. The new gaskets also help prevent hot steam leaks, increase operator safety, and support proper pressure performance of the unit.

Everything you need for the repair in one package

The kit is designed to include the main parts needed for a standard overhaul of a steam generator. The package contains a replacement heating element rated at 2200 W, a safety thermal fuse integrated with a mains socket, a socket gasket, and a main vessel gasket. This allows you to carry out the repair without having to source additional small components separately.
