What type of equipment turns beeswax into beeswax granules?

Just my imagination working here. I picture a molten wax source being sprayed in a fine mist into moving cold water. At the end the wax balls are floated into a strainer.

But I really don't know.

I melt my bees wax into 8 ounce blocks for my soap making. It's melted into the oils and I don't need any granules. However, I do note granules for sale by the soap making companies.

I would like to purchase some type of machine to process beeswax that will turn solid wax into measurable granules. Right now I get it from a supplier but I'd rather be able to process it myself.

it would be ALOT of work, but possibly an old-fashioned hand cheese grater? i think you will be shocked at the price of such specialised machinery. check out the relatively simple foundation rollers. i'd be surprised if one could sell enough soap in a decade to brake even on the cost of a wax granulator. good luck,mike

Thanks Mike!

That is what I was afraid of I was holding out hope that there was something simple for personal use but I'd imagine there is no such luck

you need a wax melter and a large tub of water let a small stream of wax dribble into the water and it makes the little beads then you just strain them off the top

That sounds simple enough. Thank you!!

Or melt it, pour it into thin sheets and then break them up.
