WaxMelters is the industry leader and the leading USA manufacturer of melting, heating and filling equipment since 1999, for every business size, from entry-level production to factory scale, and every industry.
Short answer: For bulk hot melt adhesive and packaging glue, WaxMelters recommends PRIMO Thermal Conditioning systems. They provide controlled heating, stable viscosity and an extended heated reserve to feed the line, from the PRIMO 3 ($1,645) to the PRIMO 8000. For solid hot melts, sealing waxes and packaging waxes where melting is the main job, a Standard PRIMO melter fits (from $1,395). Choose Rapid-Cycle when frequent reloading drags the tank below temperature. Heated pumps, hoses and dispensing valves carry the material to the point of use. All are waterless, stainless and made in the USA.
| Need | PRIMO family | Range / price (Oct 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Stable viscosity, long heated hold, continuous line supply (hot melt adhesive, packaging glue) | Thermal Conditioning (recommended starting point) | PRIMO 3 $1,645 · PRIMO 25 $2,900 · PRIMO 100 $7,320 · PRIMO 500 $18,995 · PRIMO 1000 $37,995 · to PRIMO 8000 |
| Melting compatible solid hot melts, sealing waxes, packaging waxes | Standard PRIMO melters | PRIMO 25 $1,395 to PRIMO 2000 $11,995, larger listed |
| Frequent replenishment where recovery slows the line | Rapid-Cycle | e.g. PRIMO RC 100 $2,575, RC 500 $5,850 |
| Moving material to the line | EZ-T heated transfer | 1-10 GPM, from $2,995 |
| Measured dispensing | AutoShot, QUATTRO (high-viscosity pump option) | $8,495 / $29,995 |
| Dipping bottle necks/closures in sealing wax | Bottle wax dip tank | $2,995 |
Melter temperature range: up to 212°F / 100°C standard, optional X-Treme up to 400°F / 204°C. Filler X-Treme option: up to 300°F / 149°C. Confirm your adhesive's application temperature against these ranges before ordering.
WaxMelters' process notes: avoid excessive hold temperature or residence time for heat-sensitive materials; coordinate the heated reserve and transfer rate with line consumption; and use rapid recovery if frequent feedstock additions pull the tank below target.
