Melting Tanks & Heating Equipment

Melting Solid or Semi-Solid Material

Start with a Standard PRIMO melting tank when the primary job is melting compatible solid or semi-solid feedstock followed by heated holding, pumping, pouring, transfer or filling.

Controlled Thermal Conditioning

Consider PRIMO Thermal Conditioning when stable material temperature, controlled heat input, viscosity management or extended heated holding is more important than maximum recovery speed.

Repeated Batch Loading & Recovery

Consider PRIMO Rapid-Cycle when new material is loaded repeatedly and the time required to return toward operating temperature is limiting production throughput.

Facility & Utility Planning

Review outside equipment footprint, installed heating power, available electrical service and usable process capacity before choosing the final system.

Which PRIMO system should I start with for wax melting?

Standard PRIMO is the normal starting point for compatible wax melting, warming, heated holding and production-line supply. Rapid-Cycle or Thermal Conditioning should be selected when the process has a more specialized thermal requirement.

When should I use Thermal Conditioning?

Thermal Conditioning is intended for applications where maintaining controlled material condition, stable viscosity or extended heated holding is the primary requirement.

When should I use Rapid-Cycle?

Rapid-Cycle is intended for compatible high-throughput production where repeated loading and recovery time between loads can limit output.

What information is needed to size a process-heating system?

Useful sizing information includes material type, starting form, batch weight or working gallons, starting and target temperatures, desired heat-up or recovery time, batches per shift, downstream process and available electrical service.
