Melting Tanks & Heating Equipment

Choose the Right Heating System for the Material and Process

WaxMelters offers equipment for production melting, gentle thermal conditioning, rapid-cycle processing and heated batch discharge. The correct system depends on the material, starting form, temperature sensitivity, batch pattern, hold time, downstream process and required recovery speed.

Equipment Selection

Start With the Primary Heating and Production Requirement

Custom dimensions, controls, fittings, agitation, filtration, pumping, transfer equipment and stands can be configured within the equipment family that best matches the primary process.

Production Melting

PRIMO Wax Melters & Melting Tanks

For solid waxes and compatible feedstocks that require efficient melting, controlled holding and dependable production recovery.

  • Blocks, slabs, flakes, pellets and pastilles
  • Candle wax, beeswax, paraffin and microcrystalline wax
  • Batch production and filling-system supply
  • Standard capacities from small production through industrial bulk processing
Solid feedstock Production melting Heated holding

Gentle Precision Heating

PRIMO Thermal Conditioning Systems

Waterless thermal-conditioning systems for temperature-sensitive, already-liquid or easily softened materials where stable temperature and viscosity are more important than maximum melt speed.

  • Chocolate, honey, creams, lotions and delicate formulations
  • Stable viscosity before filling or transfer
  • Extended heated holding and controlled temperature maintenance
  • Waterless alternative to conventional jacketed holding systems
Sensitive materials Gentle heating Thermal holding

Maximum Cycle Speed

PRIMO Rapid-Cycle Industrial Melters

Higher-output systems for compatible industrial materials and repeated batches where shortened melt and recovery cycles are a primary production goal.

  • Repeated batch production and faster recovery
  • Robust waxes, process fats and compatible industrial compounds
  • Power and heater configuration matched to the process duty
  • Available in standard and application-specific configurations
Clean-water and aqueous heating: Higher-output Rapid-Boil configurations can also be reviewed for approved water and compatible aqueous processes where rapid heating and recovery are required.

Heat, Mix & Discharge

Tilting Heated Process Kettles

Heated batch vessels for processes that benefit from ingredient incorporation, thermal processing and controlled discharge by tilting.

  • Batch heating and ingredient incorporation
  • Tilting discharge into containers or downstream equipment
  • Optional mixing and process features
  • Application-specific capacity and controls
Batch processing Tilting discharge Optional mixing

Quick Selection Guide

Match the Equipment to the Primary Duty

Start with what the equipment must do most often. Batch size, material behavior, temperature, recovery time and downstream demand then determine the appropriate size and configuration.

Primary Duty Recommended Family Typical Material Condition Primary Sizing Basis
Melt solid feedstock efficiently PRIMO Wax Melter Blocks, slabs, flakes, pellets or solid bulk material Batch weight, vessel volume and downstream production demand
Warm and hold a sensitive material PRIMO Thermal Conditioning Liquid, semi-liquid or easily softened formulation Working volume, hold time and temperature-control requirement
Shorten repeated melt or recovery cycles PRIMO Rapid-Cycle Compatible industrial feedstock requiring higher recovery Batch weight, vessel volume, available power and recovery requirement
Heat a batch and discharge by tilting Tilting Heated Kettle Batch formulation requiring controlled emptying Working volume, mixing requirement and discharge method
Circulating & Recovery Systems

Some Processes Need Heating Plus Circulation

Circulating dip, wash, reclamation and recovery processes may require more than vessel heating alone. Depending on the application, the system can use tank heating, circulation, an in-line heater or a combination selected around the required process.

Important factors include working volume, flow rate, required temperature rise, recovery time, material behavior, fouling potential and available electrical service.

Equipment Configuration

Build the System Around the Actual Production Requirement

  • Standard or custom vessel dimensions
  • Material and operating temperature
  • Batch size and expected production growth
  • Mixing, agitation, filtration and clarification
  • Pumps, heated hoses, valves and material transfer
  • Filling and dispensing system integration
  • Stands, casters, lifts, baskets and multi-chamber arrangements
  • Washdown, sanitary and facility-specific requirements
  • Available voltage and electrical service
