Adhesives, Coatings and Chemicals Equipment

What the Equipment Must Do

Select the tank and downstream equipment around the material, operating temperature, working volume, hold time and production cadence, not the industry name alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best industrial hot melt adhesive melter?

For bulk hot melt adhesive that must stay at a stable viscosity and feed a production line, WaxMelters recommends PRIMO Thermal Conditioning tanks with heated pumps, hoses and valves. Standard PRIMO melters (25 lb to 60,000 lb, from $1,395) fit compatible solid hot melts that mainly need melting, and PRIMO Rapid-Cycle fits frequent replenishment.

Can PRIMO tanks heat coatings, sealants and specialty chemicals?

Yes, after WaxMelters reviews the material. Send the data sheet, starting and target temperatures, working volume, hold time and batch frequency so WaxMelters can confirm the PRIMO family, materials of construction and heated transfer.

What temperature can PRIMO tanks reach?

The standard range is up to 212°F / 100°C. An optional X-Treme high-temperature configuration up to 400°F / 204°C is available for higher-melt adhesives; like any upgrade or option, it usually ships within 7 days.

How fast do PRIMO adhesive tanks ship?

PRIMO 25 through 250 usually ship within 3 to 5 days, PRIMO 350 through 1000 usually ship within 7 days, and larger PRIMO tanks usually ship within 7 days. EZ-T heated transfer usually ships within 3 to 5 days.
