Comparison of innovative collapsible ceramic hive and traditional non-separable hives made on the basis of natural plastic raw materials
Machines. Technologies. Materials., Vol. 16 (2022), Issue 10, pg(s) 340-343
An innovative collapsible frame hive was developed, consisting of structural elements made of technical ceramics containing thermal insulation air chambers. Experimental prototypes were prepared using the slip casting method and based on modified recipe compositions, prepared casting molding masses, original gypsum matrices and optimal heat treatment mode. A comparison was performed between the main operational characteristics of the experimental samples and the traditional non-separable hives which have existed throughout history and made primarily of various plant materials and natural plastic raw materials (clays).
