Hot Melt Adhesive and Sealing Wax Melting Tanks

Why WaxMelters

Performance as described in our warranty terms; construction backed by our 1-Year Limited Equipment Warranty and 3-Year Fabricated Stainless-Steel Vessel Warranty (warranty terms).

WaxMelters is the industry leader and a US manufacturer of melting, heating and filling equipment for every business size, from startup to factory, and every industry.

• Best performance: the best and fastest melting and heating. Waterless PRIMO heating melts 2–3X faster using half the electricity.
• Safe, even heating: permanent heaters, digital material-temperature control and insulated 304 stainless vessels, with no open flame.
• The most energy efficient: fast melting on half the electricity.
• Saves you time, energy and money.
• Highest-quality construction: 304 stainless, made in the USA in Ronkonkoma, NY, and online since 1999. Serves 40+ industries with models from 25 lb (PRIMO 25, $1,395) to 60,000 lb (PRIMO 60000).

Short answer: For bulk hot melt adhesive and packaging glue, WaxMelters recommends PRIMO Thermal Conditioning systems. They provide controlled heating, stable viscosity and an extended heated reserve to feed the line, from the PRIMO 3 ($1,645) to the PRIMO 8000. For solid hot melts, sealing waxes and packaging waxes where melting is the main job, a Standard PRIMO melter fits (from $1,395). Choose Rapid-Cycle when frequent reloading drags the tank below temperature. Heated pumps, hoses and dispensing valves carry the material to the point of use. All are waterless, 304 stainless and made in the USA.

Which PRIMO family fits

Melter temperature range: 0–212 °F standard, optional High Temp X-Treme 0–400 °F. Filler X-Treme option: 0–300 °F. Confirm your adhesive's application temperature against these ranges before ordering.

Typical process

1. Melt or condition the adhesive or wax.
2. Maintain a stable heated reserve.
3. Pump and dispense through a heated flow path matched to line demand.

WaxMelters' process notes: avoid excessive hold temperature or residence time for heat-sensitive materials; coordinate the heated reserve and transfer rate with line consumption; and use rapid recovery if frequent feedstock additions pull the tank below target.
