Compact PRIMO Dip Tank
Bottle Wax Dipping Tanks
Compact, digitally controlled tanks for dipping bottle necks, closures, caps, and decorative wax seals. Most bottle-dipping applications require one small heated chamber.
Built for bottle wax sealing at a small winery, craft distillery, brewery or meadery, and for larger bottling lines that need a dependable wax station.
The standard PRIMO single-chamber unit provides a straightforward purchase path. Custom dimensions, deeper chambers, multiple colors, or production-line integration can be reviewed separately.
Customers include Jim Beam, Maker's Mark, Hornitos and Garrison Brothers.
Short answer: For dipping bottle necks, corks, caps and closures in sealing wax, most producers need one compact, temperature-controlled heated chamber, not a large industrial tank. The WaxMelters PRIMO Dip Tank Single Unit ($2,995) has an 8" × 8" × 11"-deep stainless chamber holding about 35 lb of wax, digital control up to 212°F/100°C, double-walled insulated construction, and plugs into a 120 V outlet (300 W). It Usually ships within 3 to 5 days. Custom depths, multiple colors and production-line tanks are quoted separately.

Bottle wax sealing for wine, spirits, beer and mead
A wax-dipped neck seals the closure and gives every bottle a finished, hand-crafted look. The same compact tank serves each of these producers.
Small winery
Seal corks and wine bottle necks in one wax color with the single-chamber tank, sized for a bench or bottling table.
Craft distillery
Dip bourbon, whiskey, gin and other spirits bottles to a consistent wax line, release after release.
Brewery
Wax-seal barrel-aged, reserve and limited-release bottles without setting up a large production tank.
Meadery and cidery
Finish mead and cider bottles with a signature wax seal; run several colors with a multi-chamber tank.
Best fit for most buyers
A simple one-chamber bottle-dipping system
Bottle dipping normally requires a compact chamber with sufficient depth for the desired wax line, stable temperature for repeatable coating, and enough clearance around the bottle or closure.
PRIMO Dip Tank: Single Unit
The standard single-chamber tank is the starting point for most bottle-wax applications. It is appropriate when one wax color and one controlled dipping temperature are used.
Compact single heated chamber
Digital temperature control
Insulated stainless-steel construction
Designed for repeatable bottle-neck or closure dipping
Direct product page with current price and availability
Current standard chamber
Approximately 8 in × 8 in × 11 in deep, with capacity for approximately 35 lb of wax.
Consistent bottle-dipping results depend on wax temperature, immersion depth, dwell time, bottle temperature, withdrawal speed, and cooling conditions. A stable, digitally controlled wax temperature keeps viscosity and coating thickness repeatable through a run. Choose a chamber deep enough for your wax line with clearance around the bottle.
Stable Wax Temperature
Digital control supports repeatable wax viscosity and coating formation throughout the production run.
Consistent Dip Depth
Select a chamber deep enough for the required wax line while maintaining safe operator clearance and handling.
Compact Production Setup
A small single chamber minimizes floor or bench space when the application uses one wax color and one operating temperature.
Before ordering
Confirm the bottle fits the chamber
Measure the widest bottle or closure and the vertical distance from the top of the bottle to the lowest required wax line.
Largest bottle or closure width
Required dipping depth
Wax type and operating temperature
Number of bottles processed per hour
Available voltage
When a custom system is appropriate
The standard bottle does not fit the chamber
Two or more wax colors are required
Multiple bottles must be dipped simultaneously
A stand, fixture, screen, or production-line support is needed
Washdown, special voltage, or unusual temperature is required
When to go bigger
Several colors at once: multi-chamber dip tanks (4, 6, 8 or 12 chambers, $4,295 to $8,995).
Every chamber is a full 8" × 8" × 11" deep (about 35 lb of wax) with digital control up to 212°F/100°C, and every model runs on 120 V. Heating wattage is as listed on each product page.

What do I need to wax-dip bottles?
A heated dipping tank with stable temperature control and a chamber deep enough for your wax line. The WaxMelters single-chamber dip tank (8" × 8" × 11", about 35 lb of wax, $2,995) fits most bottle-neck and closure dipping.
What is the best bottle wax dipping tank for a small winery?
For most small wineries, the PRIMO Dip Tank Single Unit ($2,995). Its 8" × 8" × 11"-deep chamber holds about 35 lb of sealing wax at a digitally controlled temperature, it plugs into a standard 120 V outlet (300 W), and it Usually ships within 3 to 5 days. One chamber covers one wax color; add a multi-chamber tank when you run several colors.
Can a craft distillery or brewery use the same dip tank?
Yes. Bottle wax sealing works the same way on spirits, beer, cider and mead bottles: a stable wax temperature, a chamber deep enough for your wax line and clearance around the bottle. Measure your widest bottle and the depth from the top of the bottle to the lowest wax line; if it does not fit the standard 8" × 8" × 11" chamber, request a custom chamber.
What temperature range does the bottle dip tank cover?
Up to 212°F/100°C, digitally controlled.
Does it need special wiring?
No. It plugs into any standard 120 V outlet and draws 300 W.
How much does a bottle wax sealing setup cost?
At WaxMelters' published prices (October 2026): the single-chamber dip tank is $2,995; multi-chamber dip tanks are $4,295 (4 chambers), $4,995 (6), $6,495 (8) and $8,995 (12), all with 8" × 8" × 11" chambers on 120 V. Splash-protected controls add $280 and a washdown-ready stainless configuration adds $1,100 on the single unit.
How do I get a consistent wax seal on every bottle?
Keep the wax at one steady temperature, dip every bottle to the same depth with the same dwell time, withdraw at an even speed and let the wax set before handling. Bottle temperature and room conditions also affect the coating, so test a few bottles each time you change wax or color.
Can I dip in more than one wax color?
Yes, with a multi-chamber dip tank (4, 6, 8 or 12 chambers) or a custom tank.
Is it made in the USA?
Yes, by WaxMelters in Ronkonkoma, New York.
How many bottles per hour can I wax-dip?
Output depends on how many people are dipping and how many chambers you run. Shops typically dip 500 to 1,000+ bottles per hour on a multi-chamber tank.
