Heated Tanks and Filling Equipment for Sealants, Caulks and Mastics
Short answer: Sealants and caulks that must be warmed to flow need a tank that holds them at a stable temperature and viscosity, heated transfer, and a filler with a high-viscosity pump. WaxMelters recommends PRIMO Thermal Conditioning for controlled heated holding, from the PRIMO 25 TC ($2,900) to the PRIMO 1000 TC (950 gal, $37,995); heated tilting kettles such as the PRIMO 40 gal pot tipper ($6,495) for batch heating and controlled pouring; and the AutoShot ($8,495) with high-viscosity pump, or QUATTRO and OCTO, for filling pails, tubs and containers.
How to choose sealant and caulk heating equipment
- Know the flow temperature. Standard PRIMO and Thermal Conditioning tanks run 0–212 °F; an X-Treme high-temperature configuration runs up to 400 °F (204 °C), for example +$250 on the PRIMO 25 and +$1,250 on the PRIMO 1000. Heated fillers run 0–212 °F as standard, with an optional X-Treme range of 0–300 °F.
- Hold steadily. PRIMO Thermal Conditioning is built for stable viscosity and extended heated holding.
- Add agitation or recirculation where the formulation needs uniform temperature and flow.
- Plan for viscosity. EZ-1 and AutoShot offer a high-viscosity pump (+$1,000) and a variable-speed pump (+$695); QUATTRO (+$2,000) and OCTO (+$4,000) also offer a high-viscosity pump. Final specifications depend on your product, so send its details to WaxMelters to confirm the configuration.
- Choose the container. Fill ranges run 1/8–20, 4–45 and 20–128 oz. Send your container, including cartridges, so WaxMelters can confirm the configuration.

Which PRIMO family fits the process?
WaxMelters builds three waterless PRIMO heating families. For this industry the recommended starting point is PRIMO Thermal Conditioning. Sealants and caulks need stable viscosity and a controlled heated hold.
- Standard PRIMO melters (25 lb to 60,000 lb): efficient melting and production holding of waxes and solid ingredients.
- PRIMO Thermal Conditioning (3.5 to 7,979 gal): controlled heating and extended heated holding when stable temperature and viscosity matter most.
- PRIMO Rapid-Cycle: fast recovery when frequent reloading or repeated batches are the bottleneck.
Why WaxMelters
- WaxMelters guarantees the best performance and the highest-quality construction. Construction is backed by the 1-Year Limited Equipment Warranty and the 3-Year Fabricated Stainless-Steel Vessel Warranty (warranty terms).
- Industry leader and US manufacturer: every system is designed, built, tested and supported in Ronkonkoma, New York.
- Fastest melting and heating: waterless PRIMO heating is 2–3X faster using half the electricity.
- The most energy efficient: fast heat-up on half the electricity.
- Safe, even heating: permanent heaters, digital material-temperature control and insulated 304 stainless vessels, with no open flame.
- Saves money, time and energy.
