Complete System for Clean, Efficient Waxing
The Silca Warmer System includes everything needed for mess-free chain waxing except the wax itself. The 600ml capacity electric wax warmer with vented clear lid retains heat while letting you verify complete wax melting. The temperature range of 75-125°C gives you precise control. Heat to 125°C for faster melting, then drop to 75°C for chain immersion.
The chain hanging drip stand creates a no-mess drying period where excess wax drips back into the pot for reuse, preventing waste. The notched base secures the melter and holds the chain coupler in position during operation. At 14″ x 8.5″ x 9″, the complete system takes up minimal workshop space while keeping wax contained.
The steel cable chain coupler solves the handling challenge that stops many cyclists from attempting immersion waxing. Thread it through your chain, secure it, then dip and agitate without touching hot wax or risking burns. Hang the chain to dry while excess wax returns to the pot—clean, efficient, and safe.
Why Purpose-Built Equipment Matters
Many cyclists start chain waxing with repurposed crock pots or rice cookers, then discover these appliances create inconsistent temperatures that can overheat wax or fail to melt it properly. The Silca system uses PID temperature control rather than basic thermostatic switching, maintaining precise temperatures that protect your wax investment and ensure optimal chain treatment.
The difference matters. Overheated wax loses effectiveness and can damage chain components. Underheated wax won’t penetrate properly, leaving you with surface coating rather than thorough treatment. This system heats wax to the exact temperature needed—no more, no less.
For Cyclists Ready to Handle Their Own Waxing
If you have the time and interest to manage chain waxing properly, this system provides the tools to do it right. The precision control and clean handling eliminate the common frustrations that send cyclists back to traditional lubrication or searching for someone else to handle the work.
