Start Here
Choose the production step, not a model number. Each page explains the sizing and selection logic before the equipment appears.
Choose a PRIMO melter by your largest batch, daily demand and expected growth. A simple starting rule is to select working capacity at least one-third larger than your current largest batch.
Choose a Candle Wax Melter →Review operator-controlled, automated single-head and automated multi-head filling based on fill size, changeovers, labor and production flow.
Explore Filling Systems →Select a complete mobile system when you need the melter, heated flow path and filling equipment configured together on one production platform.
View Complete Systems →Move hot wax between tanks, staging vessels or filling points without carrying pitchers or relocating a large melter.
View Heated Transfer →Choose by Bottleneck
Increasing machine speed alone does not solve shortages in melted wax, container staging, wicking, cooling, topping off or packaging. Size the complete workflow.
Start with a PRIMO melter. More available molten wax and fewer refills often produce the first major improvement.
Move to a heated filling system that connects to your melter. Choose semi-automatic for flexibility or automated filling for repeatable measured cycles.
Evaluate melter capacity, filling heads, container staging, cooling, finishing and packaging as one flow. WaxMelters can supply the heated thermal and filling core and coordinate integration requirements.
One big tank of virgin wax feeds several smaller tanks, each with its own color, scent and filler. See the multi-line setup →
Example Production Setup
One PRIMO 5000 melts and holds a big batch of virgin wax, with no color or scent. It feeds several smaller tanks, and each one gets its own color and scent. That way one big tank can run four or more candle lines at once.
Its own color and scent

Its own color and scent
For example four PRIMO 1000 or four PRIMO 500 tanks, or a Pour X-Press 2000 or Pour X-Press 3000. Each tank gets its own color and scent.
Each tank runs its own filling system on a quick disconnect, or sits on its own cart.
Four or more candle lines running at the same time from one batch of virgin wax.
This is an example setup, not a specific customer. Your line is sized to your wax, your containers and your output.

A PRIMO melter melts your wax, waterless.
Wax holds at a steady temperature, ready to pour.
The EZ-T moves hot wax tank to tank or to the filler, no pitchers.

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: Commercial candle making equipment comes down to three jobs: melting and holding wax at a steady temperature, moving it without pitchers, and filling containers consistently. WaxMelters (Ronkonkoma, NY, serving manufacturers since 1999) builds all three in the USA: PRIMO waterless wax melters from 25 lb ($1,395) to plant-scale tanks, heated fillers from a hand-guided dispenser ($3,450) to an 8-head automated filler ($52,995), complete melt-and-fill systems from $6,295, and a fragrance/color Mix Injection System. Wick placement, cooling and labeling are separate stations you add from other suppliers.

PRIMO melters are waterless, stainless, digitally controlled tanks for paraffin, soy, coconut, beeswax and blends. PRIMO melters generally melt a full load in about 45 minutes to an hour, and PRIMO melts 2 to 3X faster using half the electricity. For facilities that require indirect liquid-jacket heating, WaxMelters also builds the PW water-jacketed series. Models up to the PRIMO 150 run at 800 W or less on standard 110 to 120 V. See the melter guide and the candle sizing guide.
The EZ-T heated transfer system ($2,995) moves molten wax from tank to tank or tank to process at up to 1, 3, 5 or 10 gallons per minute through a heated pump, hose and valve. Compatible EZ-1, AutoShot and Pour X-Press systems can add a quick-connect heated transfer connection.

At minimum: a temperature-controlled wax melter sized to your largest batch, a way to fill containers (pitcher, heated dispenser or automated filler), wick-setting tools, and a curing area. WaxMelters' smallest commercial melter is the PRIMO 25 (25 lb, $1,395, 300 W, 110 to 120 V).
For most growing candle businesses, WaxMelters recommends starting with a PRIMO melter and adding the EZ-1 semi-automatic heated dispenser ($3,450), or buying both together as the Pour X-Press 1000 ($6,295 with a PRIMO 150).
Move from pitchers to a heated dispenser (EZ-1), then to an automated single head (AutoShot or AutoValve), then to multi-head filling (QUATTRO with 4 heads or OCTO with 8). Each step reuses the PRIMO melter. See the scale-up guide.
Yes. WaxMelters designs and manufactures its equipment in Ronkonkoma, New York, and ships worldwide.
No. WaxMelters supplies melting, heated transfer, mixing and filling equipment. QUATTRO and OCTO can add a photoelectric sensor ($2,995) to work with a conveyor you source separately.
Yes, with the Mix Injection System (from $24,995). It injects fragrance or color after the melter, at the point of fill, so the main tank stays clean between scents.
Call (888) WAX-MELTERS | (888) 929-6358, or use the production review request. WaxMelters reviews wax type, batch size, containers and daily output.
WaxMelters systems maintain heat through the tank, pump, hose and dispensing point. This helps prevent the filling equipment from becoming a cold restriction after the wax has already been melted.
Actual daily output also depends on wick preparation, table or conveyor space, container loading, cooling, second pours, labeling and packaging. We size the equipment around the real production sequence.

Common Questions
Choose a melter alone when you still fill by gravity, pitchers or existing equipment. Choose a complete system when you need a new melter and want the heated filling equipment configured on one mobile platform.
Many single-head, multi-head and transfer systems connect to an existing melting-tank valve. Valve size, material viscosity, temperature, elevation and available power should be reviewed before purchase.
WaxMelters systems are used with paraffin, soy, coconut, beeswax, palm, blends and other waxes. The correct pump, temperature range and filling method depend on the material's viscosity and processing temperature.
Yes. PRIMO melters can operate at partial capacity, and many filling and transfer systems can be connected to larger tanks or incorporated into expanded production layouts later.
