PRIMO Multi-Chamber Candle Systems
Professional PRIMO candle carving dip tanks are engineered for repeated wax dipping,
controlled temperature and consistent layer formation during cut-and-carve candle production.
Choose from 1, 4, 6, 8 or 12 chambers, with two chamber depths to match the candles you produce.
These are not a bucket-style water-bath machine with thin metal and inefficient replacement heaters. Each unit is professionally manufactured, waterless stainless-steel candle-carving system built for long-term commercial production.
1, 4, 6, 8 & 12 Chambers
11" or 19" Chamber Depth
Waterless PRIMO Heating
Stainless Steel
Choose Your Chamber Depth
11" Short-Depth or 19" Full-Depth Chambers
The number of chambers determines how many wax colors or dedicated dipping stations are available. Chamber depth determines candle-height capability and the amount of wax maintained in each chamber.
Standard: Recommended
19" Full-Depth Chambers
Our standard professional configuration and the best choice when maximum flexibility is important.
- 8" × 8" × 19" internal chamber dimensions
- Approximately 35 lb wax capacity per chamber
- Supports both shorter and taller carved candles
- Larger wax reserve for repeated production dipping
- Best choice when future candle sizes may change
11" Short-Depth Chambers
A compact alternative for producers who exclusively make shorter carved candles and do not require full 19-inch dipping depth.
- 8" × 8" × 11" internal chamber dimensions
- Approximately 20 lb nominal wax capacity per chamber*
- Requires less wax inventory to establish operating depth
- Well suited to shorter candle formats
- Reduced-price configuration
Which depth should I choose?
If you are unsure, choose the 19" full-depth configuration. It can accommodate shorter candles as well as taller products, while the 11" configuration is intended specifically for shorter candle production.

*11" nominal wax capacity is approximate and varies with wax density and operating fill level.
Engineered Chamber Performance
Controlled Heating Across Every Chamber
Consistent Wax Layer Formation
Candle carving depends on controlled wax temperature from one dipping cycle to the next. PRIMO systems heat evenly throughout every chamber so wax can be maintained at controlled process temperature throughout production.
Waterless PRIMO Heating
PRIMO candle carving systems do not require a water jacket. There is no surrounding water bath to fill, heat or routinely maintain, simplifying day-to-day operation.

Common Questions
Candle Carving Dip Tank FAQ
Should I choose 11" or 19" chambers?
Choose 19" when you want maximum candle-height flexibility or expect your
product line to change. Choose 11" when you exclusively produce shorter candles
and want to maintain less wax in each chamber.
How many chambers do I need?
In most carving workflows, chamber count is driven by the number of wax colors or
dedicated temperature stations required during the dipping sequence. Choose the
closest standard configuration or request a custom layout.
Do PRIMO candle carving tanks require a water bath?
No. PRIMO candle carving dip tanks use a waterless heating design, eliminating the surrounding water jacket.
Can WaxMelters build a custom candle carving machine?
Yes. Custom systems can be engineered around chamber count, chamber dimensions,
depth, spacing, temperature requirements, electrical service and production layout.
Need a Different Chamber Layout?
Tell us your candle dimensions, number of colors, desired chamber dimensions, temperature range and available electrical service. We can evaluate a custom candle-carving dipping system around your production process.
