From Simple Melting to Integrated Processing
A standard beeswax melter is designed primarily to heat material.
The PRIMO Separation & Clarification family is designed to take
the next step by integrating melting, natural settling, controlled
draw-off and filtration.
This allows commercial processors to reduce material transfers,
handling and separate pieces of equipment during clarification.
How the Separation Process Works
- Material is loaded into the heated process vessel.
- PRIMO waterless heating brings the material to the required processing temperature.
- The material is given time to settle into natural layers based on density.
- Upper and lower discharge points allow controlled draw-off from different vessel elevations.
- Integrated filtration captures suspended process debris during discharge.
- Processed material can move directly to holding, molding, transfer or filling.
Why Dual-Level Discharge Matters
Raw hive-processing materials can contain wax, honey, water and debris
with different densities. Once heated and allowed to settle, those
materials naturally occupy different regions of the vessel.
The dual-level discharge arrangement gives the operator greater control
over which material layer is removed at each stage of the process.
Integrated SNAP Filtration
Filtration at discharge allows remaining suspended debris to be captured
as the processed material exits the system. This can reduce the need for
a separate filtration transfer step.
One Integrated Process
Melt → Separate → Filter → Dispense
Fewer transfers can mean less handling, less opportunity for contamination
and a simpler production workflow.
Revolutionary Waterless Heating
Like the standard PRIMO family, these systems use revolutionary
waterless electric heating rather than a conventional water jacket.
The process vessel is digitally controlled and insulated for consistent
commercial operation.

Factory Tested Before Shipment
Each PRIMO system is inspected and function-tested prior to professional
packaging and shipment.
