How Multi-Line Candle Production Works
One PRIMO 5000 melts and holds a big batch of virgin wax, with no color or scent. It feeds several smaller tanks, and each one gets its own color and scent. That way one big tank can run four or more candle lines at once.
Its own color and scent
Its own color and scent
Its own color and scent
Its own color and scent
For example four PRIMO 1000 or four PRIMO 500 tanks, or a Pour X-Press 2000 or Pour X-Press 3000. Each tank gets its own color and scent.
Each tank runs its own filling system on a quick disconnect, or sits on its own cart.
Four or more candle lines running at the same time from one batch of virgin wax.
This is an example setup, not a specific customer. Your line is sized to your wax, your containers and your output.

What equipment do I need to start a candle business?
A melter and a way to fill. Start with a PRIMO 25 (25 lb, $1,395) or PRIMO 50 (56 lb, $1,675) and pour from the valve. Add an EZ-1 heated filler for 2 to 20 oz fills as volume grows.

PRIMO does not require WaxMelters branded or proprietary wax, so you can buy it at a wax supply house near you.
How do I automate candle filling?
AutoShot automates repeatable heated filling, AutoValve automates gravity fed filling, and QUATTRO and OCTO fill up to four or eight containers per cycle.
