Complete Candle Melting + Filling Systems
A complete candle melting and filling system puts the melter, heated pump and filler on one mobile platform. WaxMelters Pour X-Press systems pair a PRIMO 150 melter (169 lb standard, up to a PRIMO 1000 as an option) with EZ-1 hand filling (PX1000, $6,295) or AutoShot automated filling (PX2000, $11,195; enclosed PX3000, $13,995).
Pour X-Press systems combine a PRIMO melting tank with heated pumping and filling equipment in one coordinated production system. Select the melter capacity and filling method around your actual batch size, container range, production rate and growth plan.

USA-Manufactured Equipment
One Coordinated Production System
Choose a Complete System When You Need Both Melting and Filling
Instead of selecting a melter, pump, heated hose, filler, mounting arrangement and mobile platform separately, a Pour X-Press combines the major production functions into one system.
Start a Production Cell
Set up one coordinated system for a product family, fragrance group, dedicated production line or contract manufacturing operation.
Plan for Growth
Select the melter and filling configuration around present production while allowing capacity for realistic future growth.
See the Filling Process
Melt, Pump and Fill Without Carrying Open Pitchers
A complete system keeps molten wax in the production equipment and moves it through a heated pump, hose and dispensing path directly toward the filling operation.
Depending on the configuration, filling can remain under direct operator control or use automated measured cycles.
The Melter and Filler Must Be Sized Together.
A faster filler does not increase production if the melter cannot provide enough molten wax. Likewise, a larger melter does not require a larger dosing range if the containers remain small.

Two Separate Sizing Decisions
Size the Melter and Filler Separately, Then Combine Them
The correct complete system is not determined by one capacity number. The thermal side and filling side solve different production requirements.
1. Size the PRIMO Melter
Select melting capacity from the production requirement, not simply from the filler model.
- Largest working batch
- Daily wax demand
- Number of production cycles
- Required recovery time
- Future growth
2. Size the Filling System
Select the dispensing configuration from the containers and the way you want the operator to work.
- Smallest container fill
- Largest container fill
- Semi-automatic or automated operation
- Changeover frequency
- Target production rate
Quick Sizing Tool
Calculate a Closer-Fit and a Growth-Oriented PRIMO Size
Enter the largest batch you run today. The tool shows two starting points: a closer-fit target at approximately 1.6× the current batch and a growth-oriented target at approximately 3×, where the current batch is about one-third of the vessel's listed working capacity.
Enter a batch size to see both starting recommendations.
Configure the Whole Production Cell
Do Not Choose the System From the Filler Alone
The filling equipment can only dispense wax that the melter has already melted and conditioned. The complete system should therefore be sized around batch production, filling demand and the surrounding workflow.
Wicking, jar loading, cooling, topping off, fragrance changes and packaging may determine the practical output of the production line before the filler reaches its theoretical maximum.
Integrated Production
Why Configure the Melting and Filling Equipment Together?
Matched Capacity
The melter can be selected to supply enough conditioned wax for the intended filling sequence.
Heated Flow Path
The pump, hose and dispensing components maintain the heated material path from tank toward the container.
Mobile Production Cell
The equipment can be organized as one coordinated production system instead of several disconnected pieces.
One Manufacturer
Application guidance, equipment support and replacement components come from WaxMelters.
Complete-System FAQ
Before Ordering a Pour X-Press
Which PRIMO melter size comes with a Pour X-Press?
Pour X-Press systems can be configured with different PRIMO capacities. Select the melter from your batch size, daily demand, required recovery and growth plan.
What is the difference between the Pour X-Press 1000 and the automated systems?
The Pour X-Press 1000 uses semi-automatic handheld heated dispensing. The automated configurations use controlled single-head filling for repeatable dispensing cycles.
Can I add mixing?
Mixing is available on many configurations. Mixer selection depends on tank size, wax or material properties, additives and the production process.
How do I know which automated fill range I need?
Provide both the smallest and largest containers you intend to fill. The dosing configuration should cover the actual production range.
Can the system be planned for future growth?
Yes. The melter and filling method can be evaluated around both current production and reasonable future requirements so that an increase in batch size does not immediately require replacing the entire system.
What is the best complete candle making system for a growing business?
For operator-controlled filling of about 2 to 20 oz containers, start with the Pour X-Press 1000 ($6,295). For repeatable automated fills from 1/8 to 128 oz, choose the Pour X-Press 2000 ($11,195), or the enclosed Pour X-Press 3000 ($13,995) for a cleaner, cabinet-style workstation. Each ships with a PRIMO 150 melter that can be upsized to a PRIMO 1000.
Does a Pour X-Press include wick setting, conveyors or cooling?
No. Pour X-Press systems cover melting, heated pumping and filling. WaxMelters does not sell wick-setting machines, conveyors or cooling tunnels; the QUATTRO and OCTO multi-head fillers offer an optional photoelectric sensor for conveyor integration.
Why choose WaxMelters for a complete candle melting and filling system?
WaxMelters is the industry leader and the leading USA manufacturer of melting, heating and filling equipment since 1999, and builds every PRIMO system in Ronkonkoma, New York. Best performance, energy efficient: waterless PRIMO heating melts 2 to 3X faster using half the electricity.
