The Challenge
What Soap Manufacturing Production Demands
Soap makers heat oils, fats and soap base, mix and discharge the batch, and prepare lye for the process.
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.
