Oil, Gas & Drilling Materials Processing Equipment
Industrial melting, conditioning, heated holding and transfer systems for compatible drilling compounds, waxes, paraffin-based materials, lubricating compounds, sealants, additives and other temperature-dependent oilfield or industrial materials.
What the Equipment Must Do
Select the tank and downstream equipment around the material, operating temperature, working volume, hold time and production cadence—not the industry name alone.
Feedstock form
Determine whether the material enters as a solid, semisolid, drum, block or pumpable liquid.
Viscosity and discharge
Size valves, pumps and hoses around the material at operating temperature.
Holding duration
Choose between melting-focused and conditioning-focused heating based on residence time.
Recovery demand
Use rapid recovery when frequent additions or repeated batches are limiting production.
Which PRIMO System Fits This Process?
Recommended starting point: Standard PRIMO. For oil, gas and drilling materials, Standard PRIMO is usually the first system to evaluate when compatible waxes, paraffin-based compounds or solid feedstocks primarily need melting. PRIMO Thermal Conditioning is preferable when the material must remain at stable viscosity for extended holding or transfer. Rapid-Cycle fits repeated batch loading where faster recovery directly improves throughput.
RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT
Melting & Production Holding
Standard PRIMO
Primary choice for compatible waxes, paraffin-based drilling compounds and solid feedstocks requiring melting and batch heating.

Controlled Heating & Extended Holding
PRIMO Thermal Conditioning
Choose when extended heated holding, viscosity control or stable line supply is more important than maximum melt speed.

Recovery Speed & Production Throughput
PRIMO Rapid-Cycle
Choose when repeated additions or batches cause unacceptable temperature recovery delays.

Typical Thermal-Process Workflow
- 01
Identify feedstock form, target temperature and viscosity.
- 02
Select the PRIMO family around melting versus holding versus recovery.
- 03
Configure discharge, transfer, filtration or mixing for the actual process.
Have WaxMelters Review the Application
Send the material, starting and target temperatures, working volume, hold time, batch frequency, downstream process and available electrical service. For regulated or sanitary processes, also include required surface finish, fittings, cleaning method and facility standards.
