Why PRIMO
Speed, Even Heating and Efficiency—Without Excessive Heat Intensity
PRIMO is designed around the complete melting process. The objective is fast production melting while maintaining more controlled heat distribution, repeatable temperature control and low heating demand.
2–3X Faster Using Half the ElectricityPRIMO waterless heating eliminates the need to first heat and maintain a separate water reservoir, allowing usable heat to reach the production vessel more efficiently.
Even, Controlled HeatingPRIMO is engineered to distribute heat around the vessel instead of relying on a high-wattage localized heat source. This helps reduce hot spots and provides more controlled melting and holding.
Half the ElectricityPRIMO melts 2–3X faster using half the electricity while delivering faster melting and production recovery.
Digital Material-Temperature ControlAdjustable digital control maintains repeatable material-temperature setpoints for melting and heated holding without relying on uncontrolled high-intensity heat input.
Why not simply use more direct heat?
Higher-wattage direct-heated pots can transfer heat very quickly, but concentrated heat can also create localized hot surfaces and greater scorching or material-degradation risk. PRIMO is designed for a production balance of speed, even heating, digital control and energy efficiency.
Melt times and energy use vary by material, starting temperature, batch load, ambient conditions, electrical configuration and operating procedure.
More Usable Capacity
PRIMO 10000 Is Built for 10,000 lb-Class Production
The PRIMO 10000 provides approximately 10,000 lb (4,550 kg) of wax capacity in a 1,268-gallon (4,799 L) vessel.
The vessel is sized around usable production volume and process requirements.
More usable capacity can mean fewer refills, more material available for filling or transfer and additional production flexibility before moving to the next PRIMO size.

Standard PRIMO, Rapid-Cycle or Thermal Conditioning?
Standard PRIMO is the starting point for most wax-melting applications. Thermal Conditioning is used where gentler long-duration thermal management is the priority. Rapid-Cycle is used when recovery time is restricting output.

Capacity note:
10,000 lb (4,550 kg) is an approximate wax capacity. Actual material weight
varies by density, formulation, operating level and required headspace.
Physical vessel capacity is approximately 1,268 gallons (4,799 L).
Final electrical service, outlet configuration, high-temperature options and
application-specific accessories should match the selected product configuration.
Production Planning
How the PRIMO 10000 Fits Into Production
The PRIMO 10000 is positioned for industrial-scale / plant production. Use the vessel capacity as one part of selection; daily output also depends on batch size, refill frequency, starting temperature, recovery target and downstream demand.
