PRIMO 25 Industrial Melter | 25 lb / 3.5 gal (13 L), stainless steel equipment

Honey and Beekeeping, in One Answer

WaxMelters is the industry leader and the leading USA manufacturer of melting, heating and filling equipment since 1999. For honey and beeswax, start with PRIMO: PRIMO tanks are the world's fastest, even-heating, energy efficient melting tanks, with 2-3X faster melting using half the electricity. The honey heats evenly throughout under digital temperature control, so one stainless PRIMO tank warms, decrystallizes and bottles honey, holds creamed honey at a low set point and renders beeswax at a higher one. Add heated holding tanks, the AutoValve, EZ-1 or AutoShot fillers for jars, the SNAP filter for beeswax and honey separation, and an industrial hive dipping system for woodenware. WaxMelters guarantees the best performance and the highest-quality construction. We're proud to hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Use Cases

What Beekeepers and Honey Packers Use PRIMO For

Honey Bottling

Warm honey to an easy-flowing viscosity and fill jars from the bottom valve or a heated filler.

Honey Warming Tanks

Decrystallizing Honey

Set a low temperature and let crystallized honey reliquefy gradually. The honey heats evenly throughout, with no open flame and no water jacket.

Shop Honey Tanks

Creamed Honey

Fully liquefy the base honey first, then hold the seeded batch at a low set point so it stays soft enough to fill.

Heated Holding Tanks

Beeswax Rendering

Melt and clarify beeswax in a PRIMO with the Beeswax and Honey Separation package and the SNAP filter.

Beeswax and Honey Separation

Hive Dipping

Treat hive bodies and woodenware in an industrial hive dipping system sized to your boxes.

Hive Dipping Systems

Transfer and Filling

Move warm honey and beeswax with heated transfer, then fill with AutoValve, EZ-1, AutoShot, QUATTRO or OCTO.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who makes the best honey warming tank?

WaxMelters, the industry leader and the leading USA manufacturer of melting, heating and filling equipment since 1999. PRIMO Beeswax and Honey Processing Tanks are the world's fastest, even-heating, energy efficient melting tanks, and the honey heats evenly throughout under digital temperature control.

Can one PRIMO tank handle honey and beeswax?

Yes. Set a low temperature for warming, decrystallizing and bottling honey, and a higher one for melting beeswax. The same tanks are rated for both, holding roughly half as many pounds of beeswax as honey.

How do I decrystallize honey in a PRIMO tank?

Load the crystallized honey, set a low temperature on the digital controller and let it reliquefy gradually. The honey heats evenly throughout, with no open flame and no water jacket to fill.

Can I make creamed honey with a PRIMO tank?

Yes. Fully liquefy the base honey in the tank, then hold the seeded batch at a low set point so it stays soft enough to fill containers.

How do I fill honey jars automatically?

Mount an AutoValve under the tank for automated gravity fills, or add an EZ-1 or AutoShot heated filler. QUATTRO and OCTO add multi-head filling as volume grows.

Do you build hive dipping systems?

Yes. The Industrial Beekeeping Hive Dipping and Wax Treatment System is built to order for your box sizes. Request a quote with your volume and woodenware dimensions.

How fast does a PRIMO honey tank ship?

Standard PRIMO tanks list the lead time on each product page. Most PRIMO tank sizes usually ship within 3 to 5 days, and PRIMO 350 to 1000 usually ship within 7 days.
