Best Cheese Wax Melting and Dipping Tank for Creameries and Cheesemakers
Short answer: The best cheese wax tank holds wax at a steady coating temperature across the whole vessel, is sized and shaped around your largest wheel or block, and drains and cleans easily. WaxMelters builds the PRIMO Cheese Wax Dipping Tank ($2,895, chambers from 17 to 75 gal, 110–120 V), with an X-Treme configuration up to 400 °F, and custom PRIMO cheese wax tanks engineered around cheese dimensions, batch quantity, dipping depth, coating temperature, drainage and sanitation, with single or multiple chambers, screens, baskets and stands.
How to choose a cheese wax tank
- Measure your largest cheese. Usable internal dimensions must clear the largest wheel or block plus your basket or screen.
- Count products per dip. The number of cheeses dipped at one time sets the chamber size.
- Choose single or multiple chambers. Separate chambers keep different wax colors or types ready at once.
- Set the wax temperature. Tell WaxMelters the wax type and maximum operating temperature.
- Plan sanitation. Specify washdown, interior finish, valves, drainage and access to match your plant's procedure.

Why rectangular PRIMO heating suits cheese wax
