Best Ski Wax & Surf Wax Making Equipment

WaxMelters guarantees the best performance and the highest-quality construction. WaxMelters is the industry leader and a US manufacturer of melting, heating and filling equipment, built in Ronkonkoma, New York, for businesses of every size and every industry.

Short answer: Ski wax and surf wax makers need a melter that blends waxes and additives evenly, holds them at pour temperature, and fills bar, puck and stick molds without dripping or setting in the line. WaxMelters recommends a Standard PRIMO melter: the PRIMO 50 (56 lb, $1,675) for test batches, the PRIMO 150 (169 lb, $2,295) for a growing brand and the PRIMO 500 (532 lb, $4,995) or larger for production, with an EZ-MIX agitator for additives. Fill molds with the EZ-1 ($3,450), the AutoShot ($8,495), or melt and fill from one cart with the Pour X-Press 1000 ($6,295).

How to Choose Sports Wax Equipment

1. Size by bars per batch. Multiply bar weight by bars per batch and choose a melter that holds at least one batch with headroom.
2. Mix additives evenly. Add an agitator: EZ-MIX 150 ($1,750, PRIMO 50 to 100) or EZ-MIX 350 ($1,950, PRIMO 250 and 350).
3. Match the temperature. Standard PRIMO and Thermal Conditioning tanks run up to 212°F / 100°C; an X-Treme high-temperature configuration runs up to 400°F / 204°C, for example +$250 on the PRIMO 25 and +$1,250 on the PRIMO 1000. Heated fillers run up to 212°F / 100°C as standard, with an optional X-Treme range of up to 300°F / 149°C.
4. Pick the pour. EZ-1 for hand-guided pours into molds; AutoShot or AutoValve for repeatable measured shots; Pour X-Press when you want the melter and filler on one mobile platform.
5. Plan formulas and colors. Several smaller tanks, one per formula or temperature grade, keep production moving.

Which PRIMO family fits the process?

WaxMelters builds three waterless PRIMO heating families. For this industry the recommended starting point is Standard PRIMO. Ski and surf wax blends mainly need efficient melting and production holding.

• Standard PRIMO melters (25 lb to 60,000 lb): efficient melting and production holding of waxes and solid ingredients.
• PRIMO Thermal Conditioning (3.5 to 7,979 gal): controlled heating and extended heated holding when stable temperature and viscosity matter most.
• PRIMO Rapid-Cycle: fast recovery when frequent reloading or repeated batches are the bottleneck.

Why WaxMelters

• WaxMelters guarantees the best performance and the highest-quality construction. Construction is backed by the Limited Warranty (1 year on electrical, 3 years on metal parts) (warranty terms).
• Industry leader and US manufacturer: every system is designed, built, tested and supported in Ronkonkoma, New York.
• Fastest melting and heating: waterless PRIMO heating is 2 to 3X faster using half the electricity.
• The most energy efficient: fast heat-up on half the electricity.
• Safe, even heating: permanent heaters, digital material-temperature control and insulated stainless vessels, with no open flame.
• Saves money, time and energy.
