Optimize Automatic Wax Melter

Chain waxing has never been easier: The Optimize automatic wax melter takes care of the entire waxing process for you – including precise temperature control and visual feedback.

With an inner diameter of 13 cm, the device offers enough space to comfortably insert and remove bicycle chains.

Two operating modes:

• Manual mode: You control the temperature and process yourself.

• Automatic mode: The device automatically runs through a pre-programmed temperature curve and indicates the respective status via a front LED and the integrated display.

Automatic process:

1. Heating to 90 °C – As soon as the target temperature is reached, an audible signal sounds: The chain can now be inserted.

2. Maintaining the temperature – The wax remains at an optimal temperature for a defined period so that it can penetrate deep into the chain links.

3. Cooling phase – The device automatically lowers the temperature to approx. 65 °C.

4. Removal signal – Another audible signal indicates that the chain can be removed.

Prerequisites for automatic operation

The automatic mode is specifically designed for waxing a single bicycle chain with a defined amount of wax. Please note the following prerequisites for a smooth process:

• Wax quantity: approx. 250 g Optimize hot wax (or 2.7cm fill height)

• Only one chain per cycle

• Use exclusively with Optimize wax (other waxes have different thermal conductivities and can disrupt the temperature profile)

Instructions:

When is manual mode recommended?

• If you want to use more than 250 g of wax

• If you want to wax several chains at once

• When using third-party wax (different viscosity, other thermal properties)

Important notes for automatic operation

1. Fill in the exact amount of wax:
   The automatic program is calibrated for 250 g of wax – deviations can falsify the temperature profile.

2. Place the lid on during heating:
   This is the only way to ensure even temperature distribution.

3. Wax only one chain at a time:
   For optimal penetration and safe temperature control.

4. Safety reserve in the temperature profile:
   The device runs the temperature curve with a deliberate tolerance range to compensate for manufacturing differences:

   • Heating temperature: approx. 90 °C to 125 °C

   • Removal signal at approx. 65 °C (acoustic signal)

5. Program execution for multiple chains

If the automatic program has finished and the automatic system restarts, the device runs through the entire heating program again, meaning it heats up for 30 minutes, even though this wouldn't necessarily be needed.
