The Challenge
What Dental and Orthodontic Wax Production Demands
Dental wax needs a defined process window, a stable hold when the formulation requires it, and accurate filling of molds and small containers.
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.

Short answer: Dental and orthodontic wax production needs small-to-mid stainless tanks with digital material-temperature control, gentle mixing, and heated filling or pouring into molds, trays and containers. WaxMelters recommends PRIMO Thermal Conditioning when the formulation needs a stable, controlled hold, for example the PRIMO 7 TC ($2,000) or PRIMO 25 TC ($2,900), and a Standard PRIMO 50 ($1,675) or PRIMO 150 ($2,295) when the wax mainly needs melting. Fill molds and small containers with the AutoShot ($8,495, 1/8 to 20 oz range) or by hand with the EZ-1 ($3,450).
How to Choose Dental Wax Production Equipment
- Define the process window. Select temperature, hold time and agitation around the wax formulation and your documented production requirement.
- Specify cleanability separately. For regulated processes, include surface finish, sanitary fittings and cleaning method with your request; these are configured separately from the PRIMO heating family.
- Choose melt or hold. Standard PRIMO for wax blends that mainly need melting; PRIMO Thermal Conditioning for stable heated holding of finished blends.
- Match the fill. AutoShot and AutoValve come in 1/8 to 20, 4 to 45 and 20 to 128 oz ranges; send your mold or container volume to confirm.
- Dipping and sheet work. For immersion and dipping, see dip, coating and slab tanks, including the single-chamber dipping tank ($2,995, 120 V, 300 W) and custom dipping tanks built to your dimensions.

Which PRIMO family fits the process?
WaxMelters builds three waterless PRIMO heating families. For this industry the recommended starting point is PRIMO Thermal Conditioning. Dental and medical wax formulations usually need a stable, controlled heated hold. Standard PRIMO suits compatible wax blends that mainly need melting.
- 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.
