Choose by process
Which type of system do you need?
Most tanks in this family differ primarily by internal dimensions,
material depth, and selected features. Circulating systems add
process equipment such as pumps, piping, filtration, spillways, or
reservoirs.
Standard, Flat-Tray & Slab Processing Tanks
One configurable PRIMO tank family built to the usable internal
dimensions required by your part, tray, slab, block, or dipping process.
A shallow tray, deep immersion tank, slab tank, cheese-wax tank,
or hive-dipping tank is not necessarily a different heating
technology. The system is configured around the required usable
space, material, temperature, handling method, and production rate.
This is why WaxMelters reviews the application before providing
final pricing instead of forcing a customer into a misleading
off-the-shelf size.
Information used to engineer and quote your tank

Circulation or filtration needs
Available voltage and phase
Engineered thermal performance
Tank Geometry and Heating Engineered Together
A tank cannot be judged by shape, wattage, or heater size alone.
Vessel geometry, heating, temperature sensing, controls, and insulation
must operate together as one complete thermal system.
Controlled Even Heating
Rectangular tanks are often required to accommodate trays, slabs,
blocks, hive bodies, parts, molds, and other products with defined
dimensions.
PRIMO heating is strategically engineered for the geometry of each
vessel, including the corner transitions. Those areas function as
active parts of the thermal system rather than being left as
slow-melting, residue-holding, or overheated pockets.
Customers receive the processing benefit without disclosure of the
proprietary arrangement, dimensions, or number of heating components.
Designed from Real-World Field Experience
WaxMelters has inspected and repaired melting equipment manufactured
by other companies. We have seen how thermal layout, control location,
vessel geometry, and component selection can contribute to slow
melting, uneven temperatures, retained material, difficult cleaning,
and premature equipment failure.
We do not merely know how melting equipment is built. We know
how it fails and we engineer PRIMO systems to avoid those failures.
More consistent heating throughout the tank
Faster and more complete melting
Reduced localized overheating
Less material retained in corners
Easier cleaning and product changeovers
More dependable batch-to-batch processing
Simple custom-equipment process
From dimensions to a firm quotation
Submit the application
Provide usable internal dimensions, material, temperature, chambers,
voltage, washdown conditions, and requested features.
Technical review
The Sales & Applications Team reviews the process and contacts you
when a dimension, drawing, or operating detail requires clarification.
Quote, approve & pay
Receive the recommended configuration and firm pricing. After approval,
WaxMelters can provide the appropriate order or secure payment method.
PRIMO combines material-temperature control, insulated stainless-steel
construction, and process-specific options without routine jacket-water
management. Water-jacketed construction remains available when a
specification or hazardous-location design requires it.
Material-temperature control
Digital sensing and controls are configured around the material and required operating range.
Industrial construction
Insulated, double-walled construction with 304 stainless-steel interiors for production use.
Application-specific options
Chambers, controls, stands, screens, valves, reservoirs, pumps, filtration, and custom fittings as required.
Common questions
Before submitting your tank request
Do I need to know the finished outside dimensions?
No. Enter the required usable internal length, width, and working depth.
Mention a maximum exterior footprint only when the system must fit a
fixed space or existing production line.
Can multiple chambers have separate temperature controls?
Yes. Identify the number and internal dimensions of the chambers and
whether each chamber requires independent temperature control.
What if I do not know whether circulation is required?
Select “Unsure” and describe the goal. Circulation may be appropriate
for temperature uniformity, filtration, overflow return, clarification,
or moving material between sections.
How is a dipping screen or basket sized?
Provide the dimensions and approximate weight of the largest item,
block, part, hive body, tray, or product being dipped. WaxMelters can
determine the appropriate screen or basket clearance and construction.
Can the tank be designed for washdown?
Yes. Indicate the washdown method, cleaning chemicals, and whether the
controls or surrounding equipment require water-resistant construction.
Can I purchase online after the quote is approved?
The first step is application review and firm pricing. After the
configuration is approved, WaxMelters can provide the appropriate order
and payment process for the quoted equipment.

PRIMO Waterless Heating vs. Water-Jacketed Construction
Both are industrial heating methods, but they solve different requirements.
WaxMelters recommends the construction that fits the material, installation,
temperature, controls, and applicable safety classification.
PRIMO Waterless Systems
Heating is engineered around the vessel geometry and material
No jacket water level to maintain
No mineral scale from jacket water
Insulated construction and digital material-temperature control
Preferred for most standard non-hazardous applications
Water-Jacketed Systems
Heat transfers through an intermediate water or thermal-fluid jacket
Jacket condition and fluid level require management
Useful when a specification or process specifically requires this construction
Available for appropriate hazardous-location or legacy requirements
Application review is required before selection
Performance depends on tank size, material, starting temperature, batch
load, operating setpoint, electrical service, and process conditions.
Publish quantified speed or energy claims only when supported by documented
testing for the compared configurations.
