Short answer: CBD balms, salves and other infused topicals need gentle, controlled heat for oils and waxes, a stable hold while the batch is blended and filled, and a heated filler that doses tins, jars and tubes consistently. WaxMelters recommends PRIMO Thermal Conditioning as the starting point, from the PRIMO 3 TC ($1,645) to the PRIMO 50 TC ($4,220), with a Standard PRIMO 50 ($1,675) to melt the wax and butter phase. Fill with the AutoShot ($8,495, 1/8 to 20 oz range), the EZ-1 ($3,450), or 4 and 8 positions with QUATTRO and OCTO.
How to Choose CBD Topical Equipment
- Control heat exposure. PRIMO Thermal Conditioning gives controlled heating and extended holding for temperature-sensitive infused oils and formulations.
- Blend at temperature. Coordinate heat with mixing and ingredient incorporation; add agitation where the formula needs it.
- Keep the product fillable. Heated transfer and a heated filling path maintain condition through dispensing.
- Match the container. AutoShot and AutoValve in the 3000 configuration are listed for 1/8 to 20 oz fills; send your container to confirm.
- Plan for thicker balms. EZ-1 and AutoShot offer a high-viscosity pump (+$1,000) and a variable-speed pump (+$695); QUATTRO (+$2,000) and OCTO (+$4,000) also offer a high-viscosity pump. Final specifications depend on your product, so send its details to WaxMelters to confirm the configuration.

Which PRIMO family fits the process?
WaxMelters builds three waterless PRIMO heating families. For this industry the recommended starting point is PRIMO Thermal Conditioning. Infused formulations need stable viscosity and a controlled heated hold.
- 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.
