Melting Tanks & Heating Equipment
Choose the Right Heating System for the Material & Process
PRIMO equipment is engineered for industrial melting, heating,
thermal conditioning, heated holding and rapid-recovery production.
Start with the process requirement, then select the appropriate
PRIMO family and size.

Equipment Selection
Start With the Primary Production Requirement
Select the equipment family by what the process must do,
not simply by the tank size.
Standard PRIMO Platform
PRIMO Melters & Heating Tanks
The starting point for most compatible wax melting,
warming and production-heating applications.
- Solid wax melting
- Batch heating and recovery
- Heated holding
- Filling and transfer supply

Controlled Thermal Conditioning
PRIMO Thermal Conditioning Systems
For applications where stable material condition,
controlled heat input and extended heated holding
are more important than maximum recovery speed.
- Temperature-sensitive materials
- Viscosity management
- Extended heated holding
- Process and filling-system staging

Rapid Recovery
PRIMO Rapid-Cycle Industrial Melters
For compatible processes where repeated loading and
recovery time can limit production throughput.
- Repeated batch loading
- Shorter compatible recovery cycles
- Higher-throughput production
- Application-matched electrical configuration

Heat / Mix / Discharge
Tilting Heated Process Kettles
Heated batch equipment for processes requiring
formulation, mixing and controlled discharge by tilting.
- Batch formulation
- Ingredient incorporation
- Optional mixing
- Controlled tilting discharge

Facility & Utility Planning
Tank Cost Is Only Part of the Equipment Decision
Review equipment footprint, connected heating power,
available electrical service and usable process capacity
before selecting the final system.

Equipment Buying Guide
Match the Heating System to the Primary Process Duty
Vessel capacity is only one part of selecting industrial heating
equipment. Material form, target temperature, recovery requirement,
hold time, viscosity, production rate, facility utilities and
downstream equipment can all affect the final configuration.
Melting Solid or Semi-Solid Material
Start with a Standard PRIMO melting tank when the primary job is
melting compatible solid or semi-solid feedstock followed by
heated holding, pumping, pouring, transfer or filling.
Controlled Thermal Conditioning
Consider PRIMO Thermal Conditioning when stable material
temperature, controlled heat input, viscosity management or
extended heated holding is more important than maximum recovery speed.
Repeated Batch Loading & Recovery
Consider PRIMO Rapid-Cycle when new material is loaded repeatedly
and the time required to return toward operating temperature is
limiting production throughput.
Facility & Utility Planning
Review outside equipment footprint, installed heating power,
available electrical service and usable process capacity before
choosing the final system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Industrial Melting & Heating Equipment FAQ
Which PRIMO system should I start with for wax melting?
Standard PRIMO is the normal starting point for compatible wax
melting, warming, heated holding and production-line supply.
Rapid-Cycle or Thermal Conditioning should be selected when the
process has a more specialized thermal requirement.
When should I use Thermal Conditioning?
Thermal Conditioning is intended for applications where maintaining
controlled material condition, stable viscosity or extended heated
holding is the primary requirement.
When should I use Rapid-Cycle?
Rapid-Cycle is intended for compatible high-throughput production
where repeated loading and recovery time between loads can limit output.
What information is needed to size a process-heating system?
Useful sizing information includes material type, starting form,
batch weight or working gallons, starting and target temperatures,
desired heat-up or recovery time, batches per shift, downstream
process and available electrical service.
