• Safe, even heating: permanent heaters, digital material-temperature control and insulated 304 stainless vessels, with no open flame.
• The most energy efficient: fast melting on half the electricity.
• Saves you time, energy and money.
• Highest-quality construction: 304 stainless, made in the USA in Ronkonkoma, NY, and online since 1999. Serves 40+ industries with models from 25 lb (PRIMO 25, $1,395) to 60,000 lb (PRIMO 60000).

Short answer: First decide what goes into the tank. - Clean, filtered or block beeswax (for candles, slabs or bulk melting): a PRIMO Beeswax Melter & Honey Processing Tank. These are waterless, digitally controlled, 304 stainless tanks from 7 gal (50 lb of beeswax, $1,675) to 158 gal (1,000 lb, $7,995). - Raw comb, cappings, or material carrying water and debris: a PRIMO Beeswax & Honey Separation / Clarification Tank. These melt, settle, separate, filter and dispense in one tank, with upper and lower discharge points. They run from 11 gal (75 lb of beeswax, $2,170) to 158 gal ($8,290).

The site's selection guide: models 10–35 for small-batch and entry production, 50–75 for commercial processing and growing operations, and 100–150 for high-volume processing.

How to pick a size

1. Start with your beeswax weight per batch, using the site's beeswax rating (each tank holds roughly half as many pounds of beeswax as honey).
2. Decide whether the tank also has to separate water and debris. If yes, choose a separation/clarification tank.
3. Plan what happens after melting: molds, blocks, candle filling or transfer. Melters can be combined with heated valves, hoses, pumps and filling systems.

What all PRIMO beeswax tanks share

• Waterless heating with no water-jacket maintenance, and digital temperature control
• Double-wall insulated, 304 stainless with a #4 finish, and a rounded interior for even heating and easier cleaning
• Heated discharge configurations for smooth molten-wax flow
• 110–120 V standard on the 7–50 gal sizes (see the voltage guide)
