PRIMO Facility Planning Tool
Calculate PRIMO Footprint & Utility Requirements
Purchase price is only one part of an industrial heating system's cost.
Review equipment floor space, external dimensions, installed heating power,
usable process capacity and modeled heat-up energy before deciding which
system best fits your production facility.
Review the facility requirement, not just the tank price.
Facility Economics
Four Equipment Costs That Are Easy to Miss
Two tanks with similar nominal capacity can require very different
amounts of floor space, electrical infrastructure and thermal support.
Floor Space
External length and width determine the rectangular floor area
permanently allocated to the equipment, before required operator
clearances and aisle space are added.
Connected Power
Installed heating kW affects electrical-service planning and the
amount of connected heating capacity dedicated to the process.
Thermal Infrastructure
PRIMO waterless architecture eliminates the need for a heated-water reservoir.
Capacity per Square Foot
Review how much usable process capacity you receive from the
floor area and electrical infrastructure allocated to the equipment.
How the Calculator Works
Plan Your PRIMO Configuration
Use published or measured specifications for your PRIMO system.
1
Enter Equipment Specifications
Enter external length, width and height, installed wattage,
usable capacity and estimated time to process-ready condition.
2
Add Facility Assumptions
Add electricity cost, annual floor-space value, expected heat-up
cycles and the analysis period you want to evaluate.
3
Explore the Results
Review footprint, equipment envelope, connected heating power,
modeled heat-up energy, capacity density and facility-cost differences.
Designed for Every PRIMO Family
Explore the Equipment That Fits Your Process
The calculator can be used for Standard PRIMO Wax Melters,
PRIMO Thermal Conditioning Systems, PRIMO Rapid-Cycle Melters,
dip/coating tanks and other industrial heated process equipment.
- Review reasonably similar usable capacities whenever possible.
- Use actual external dimensions.
- Use installed wattage for electrical-service reviews.
- Use measured kWh when making validated operating-energy claims.
