AutoShot Wax Filling Machine Guide

Resources / Buying guideJump to the guide

Short answer: The AutoShot is WaxMelters' automated heated single-head wax filling machine ($8,495). It connects to a compatible melting tank such as a PRIMO 250 or PRIMO 350, pumps wax through a heated hose and repeats a programmed fill so the operator does not hold a trigger for every container. It usually ships in 3 to 5 days from Ronkonkoma, New York.

Options Heated hose: 8 ft standard; 12, 15, 20, 25 or 30 ft (+$725 to +$2,995). Temperature: up to 212°F / 100°C standard; X-Treme up to 300°F / 149°C (+$2,000).

High-viscosity pump (+$1,000), variable-speed pump (+$695), 304 food-grade stainless (+$1,000), quick-connect heated transfer kit (+$295), unheated liquid and oil filling (+$595). Warranty: 1 year standard; 2, 3 or 4 years available. How it runs Two modes: single measured shots, or repeating on/off cycles. Fully heated path in stainless steel and Teflon. To change color, scent or product, run the system empty, preheat, run the new batch and discard the first few ounces. Nothing comes apart. For an integrated melt-and-fill machine instead of a separate tank, see Pour X-Press 2000 ($11,195) or 3000 ($13,995).

Which AutoShot head do I need for 8 oz candles? 8 oz jars fall inside both the AS3000 (1/8 to 20 oz) and AS4500 (4 to 45 oz) ranges; if you also run larger jars, choose the AS4500. Does the AutoShot need a WaxMelters melter? It is designed to connect directly to a compatible melting tank. Send your existing melter details for a review if it is not a PRIMO.
