The Challenge
What Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical and Medical Device Production Demands
Production needs a controlled heated hold inside a defined process window, with stable residence time and accurate dispensing.
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 Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical and Medical Device 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.

Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical & Medical Device Processing Equipment
Thermal-processing systems for compatible nonsterile semisolids, oils, wax-based formulations, nutraceutical ingredients, medical coatings, encapsulation materials, adhesives and specialty compounds.
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.
Validated Process Window
Select temperature, residence time and agitation around the material and documented production requirement.
Controlled Heated Hold
Maintain stable process condition without unnecessary thermal cycling.
Cleanability Configuration
Specify surface finish, sanitary fittings and cleaning requirements separately from the PRIMO family.
Transfer and Dosing
Protect material condition from the vessel through the point of use.
Which PRIMO System Fits This Process?
Recommended starting point: PRIMO Thermal Conditioning. For compatible pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and medical manufacturing workflows, PRIMO Thermal Conditioning is generally the starting point when stable viscosity and controlled heated holding are required. Standard PRIMO can be appropriate for compatible wax-based or solid ingredients that primarily need melting. Rapid-Cycle is appropriate only when the material and validated process support high-recovery heating and repeated batch turnover is the bottleneck.
Controlled Heating & Extended Holding
PRIMO Thermal Conditioning
Primary choice for temperature-sensitive semisolids, oils, coatings and formulations requiring stable heated holding.

Recovery Speed & Production Throughput
PRIMO Rapid-Cycle
Use only when compatible with the validated process and repeated batch recovery is an explicit production requirement.

Typical Thermal-Process Workflow
- 01
Define the validated material/process temperature range.
- 02
Choose the PRIMO family around thermal behavior and residence time.
- 03
Add cleanability, sanitary fittings, transfer and dosing features required by the facility.
