The Challenge
What Pet Food and Animal Health Production Demands
Oils, coatings and edible compounds must be held at a workable temperature and viscosity in cleanable equipment.
The WaxMelters Solution
Waterless PRIMO Heating, Sized to the Batch
PRIMO USA stainless steel tanks are the world's fastest, even-heating, most energy efficient melting tanks: 2-3x faster melting using half the electricity, with digital temperature control and no water jacket to maintain. Add Thermal Conditioning for a stable hold, EZ-T heated transfer to feed the line, and heated filling where product goes into containers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment do Pet Food and Animal Health manufacturers use?
Most start with a PRIMO stainless steel melting tank sized to the largest batch, add Thermal Conditioning when the material needs a stable hold, and add EZ-T heated transfer or heated filling to feed the line.
How fast does the equipment ship?
Most PRIMO tank sizes, EZ-1, AutoShot and transfer systems usually ship within 3 to 5 days. PRIMO 350 to 1000 usually ship within 7 days, and QUATTRO and OCTO usually ship within 7 to 21 days.
Can I get an application review before I buy?
Yes. Send your material, batch size, operating temperature and voltage, and the factory team will confirm sizing, options and freight with a formal quote. A mutual NDA is available.

Thermal-processing systems for oils, coatings, supplements, functional chews, edible compounds, wellness formulations and other temperature-sensitive pet-food or animal-health ingredients.
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.
Ingredient Condition
Maintain oils, coatings and edible compounds at workable temperature and viscosity.
Mixing and Coating
Coordinate heat with additive incorporation or downstream coating.
Cleanability
Configure sanitary features and surface finish around the plant standard.
Production Continuity
Match heated reserve and transfer to the consumption rate of the line.
Which PRIMO System Fits This Process?
Recommended starting point: PRIMO Thermal Conditioning. For pet food and animal-health manufacturing, PRIMO Thermal Conditioning is generally the best starting point for oils, coatings and formulations that need stable heated holding. Standard PRIMO fits compatible fats, waxes or ingredients that primarily need melting. Rapid-Cycle is appropriate for repeated, compatible batch production where recovery speed is limiting output.
