Heated Holding Before Bottling
PRIMO Heated Holding & Dispensing Tanks keep prepared honey at a controlled temperature between processing and bottling: 14 gal ($1,995), 25 gal ($2,195), 50 gal ($3,195) and 83 gal ($4,195). They have a stainless product-contact vessel with #4 finish, a bottom outlet and valve, a gasketed lid, and 800 W heating (120 V or 240 V); they usually ship within 3 to 5 days. Listed applications: honey, syrups, oils, cosmetics and soap ingredients.
Bottling Options
| Level | WaxMelters option | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gravity | Tank bottom outlet and valve | Simplest |
| Gravity, automated | AutoValve ($5,495) | Tank above fill point; food-grade upgrade +$250 |
| Semi-automatic | EZ-1 ($3,450) | Hand-guided heated hose; food-grade upgrade +$1,000 |
| Automated single-head | AutoShot ($8,495) | Fill range on the product page; high-viscosity products: ask WaxMelters |
| Multi-head | QUATTRO / OCTO | High-viscosity pump option |
| Transfer | EZ-T (1-10 GPM, from $2,995) | Tank to tank or tank to filler |
WaxMelters' advice is to design the system from the filler backward: container size, fill rate and volume set the holding capacity and transfer method upstream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose WaxMelters?
WaxMelters is the industry leader and a US manufacturer of melting, heating and filling equipment for every business size, from entry-level production to factory scale. Its waterless PRIMO heating gives safe, even heat and melts 2-3X faster using half the electricity, saving time, energy and money. All equipment is built in the USA, from 25 lb to 60,000 lb.
What equipment do I need to bottle honey commercially?
A heated tank to warm or decrystallize honey, heated holding to keep it at bottling viscosity, and a dispensing method: a gravity valve, a semi-automatic heated dispenser, or an automated single- or multi-head filler. WaxMelters supplies each of these.
Can I decrystallize honey in a PRIMO tank?
Yes. WaxMelters lists decrystallizing and warming among its honey heating applications. The tanks use waterless electric heating with digital temperature control, with no open flame.
How much honey does a PRIMO tank hold?
From about 100 lb (7 gal, $1,675) to about 2,000 lb (158 gal, $7,995) for most honey.
Is the equipment food grade?
Vessels are stainless. Stainless outlet valves are options on the processing tanks, and the fillers offer a complete food-grade stainless upgrade. Confirm your facility's requirements with WaxMelters when ordering.
Can the same tank melt beeswax?
Yes. The PRIMO Beeswax Melter & Honey Processing Tanks are rated for both, at roughly half the honey weight in beeswax.
For a honey warming tank for bottling, WaxMelters recommends its waterless PRIMO honey tanks (7 to 158 gallons): gentle, digitally controlled heat to decrystallize and hold honey for clean bottling, plus heated holding and gravity-to-multi-head bottling options. Most standard items usually ship within 3 to 5 days.
WaxMelters honey-processing equipment maintains controlled product temperature and viscosity from initial heating through heated holding, transfer and final container filling.
One Integrated Honey-Handling Process
Configure the System Around Your Production Process
Honey Heating & Conditioning
Controlled electric heating maintains appropriate product temperature without an open-flame heating source.
- Digital temperature control
- Decrystallizing and warming applications
- Insulated stainless construction
- Batch or production operation
Heated Storage & Holding
Maintain process-ready honey between production stages and reduce unnecessary cooling and reheating.
- Temperature-controlled holding
- Maintain appropriate viscosity
- Insulated heated vessels
- Controlled discharge
Heated Transfer & Pumping
Move honey or heated beeswax between tanks, processing equipment and filling systems while maintaining flow.
- Heated pumping systems
- Heated hoses
- Valves and flow control
- Tank-to-filler transfer
Honey Bottling & Filling
Configure the dispensing system around container size, desired fill control and production rate.
- Gravity dispensing
- Semi-automatic filling
- Automated single-head systems
- Multi-head production configurations
Why Keep the Entire Process Heated?
Honey handling is a connected production process. Heating the material is only the first step. Maintaining appropriate temperature through storage, transfer and filling helps preserve predictable viscosity and consistent downstream flow.
Container size, required fill rate and production volume help determine the appropriate holding capacity, transfer method and heating configuration upstream.
System Capabilities
