Compare PRIMO Industrial Melters

PRIMO Melters are industrial stainless steel melting and heated tank systems designed for production environments. Use this guide to compare sizes, production levels, and recommended applications before choosing your system.

Not Sure What Size You Need?
PRIMO systems are engineered with larger usable capacity than many tanks in the same class, allowing for higher output, fewer refills, and better long-term value.

To choose the right PRIMO Melter, estimate:
  • How many pounds or gallons you need to melt per batch
  • How many batches you run per day
  • Your material type and melt temperature
  • Whether the melter will feed a filling system, pump, hose, or production line
  • Whether you expect production to increase over the next 6–24 months
Simple sizing rule:
Choose a system larger than your current batch size so you have room for expansion and avoid constant refilling.
Example: If you regularly process 75–100 lb batches, consider a PRIMO 150, 250, or larger depending on your growth plans.
