PRIMO 100 Industrial Wax Melter
Fast, Even, Digitally Controlled Waterless Melting
The PRIMO 100 is a 304 stainless steel industrial wax melter engineered to combine
fast melting, even heat distribution, digital temperature control and energy-efficient operation in an insulated production vessel without a conventional water jacket.

Why PRIMO
Speed, Even Heating and Efficiency—Without Excessive Heat Intensity
PRIMO is designed around the complete melting process rather than simply applying the highest possible wattage to the material. The objective is fast production melting while maintaining more controlled heat distribution, repeatable temperature control and substantially lower heating demand than conventional water-jacketed equipment.
2–3X Faster Than Traditional Water-Jacketed Melters
PRIMO waterless heating eliminates the need to first heat and maintain a separate water reservoir, allowing usable heat to reach the production vessel more efficiently.
Even, Controlled Heating
PRIMO is engineered to distribute heat around the vessel instead of relying on a high-wattage localized heat source. This helps reduce hot spots and provides more controlled melting and holding.
Lower Heating Power
Select PRIMO systems use substantially less installed heating power than comparable conventional water-jacketed systems while delivering faster melting and production recovery.
Digital Material-Temperature Control
Adjustable digital control maintains repeatable material-temperature setpoints for melting and heated holding without relying on uncontrolled high-intensity heat input.
Why not simply use more direct heat?
Higher-wattage direct-heated pots can transfer heat very quickly, but concentrated heat can also create localized hot surfaces and greater scorching or material-degradation risk. PRIMO is designed for a production balance of speed, even heating, digital control and energy efficiency.
Documented water-jacket comparison: a PRIMO 1000 configuration uses 1.8 kW of heating power versus 9 kW for a comparable conventional water-jacketed 1000-class system — an 80% reduction in installed heating power.
Melt times and energy use vary by material, starting temperature, batch load, ambient conditions, electrical configuration and operating procedure. The 2–3X comparison is against comparable traditional water-jacketed melting systems, not every high-wattage direct-heated vessel.
More Usable Capacity
PRIMO 100 Is Intentionally Larger Than a Nominal 100 lb Tank
The PRIMO 100 provides approximately
105 lb (47 kg) of wax capacity in a 15-gallon (57 L) vessel.
The vessel is sized around usable production volume and process requirements rather than simply making the vessel match the model number.
More usable capacity can mean fewer refills, more material available for filling or transfer and additional production flexibility before moving to the next PRIMO size.

Standard PRIMO, Rapid-Cycle or Thermal Conditioning?
Standard PRIMO is the starting point for most wax-melting applications. Thermal Conditioning is used where gentler long-duration thermal management is the priority. Rapid-Cycle is used when recovery time is restricting output.
Cleaning Your MelterClean it like a high end stainless steel cooking pot. Wipe it out with a cloth. For soap and food products, soap and water works fine. If something has burned on, a scouring pad takes care of it. Round tank, no corners to clean.

Capacity note:
105 lb (47 kg) is an approximate wax capacity. Actual material weight
varies by density, formulation, operating level and required headspace.
Physical vessel capacity is approximately 15 gallons (57 L).
Final electrical service, outlet configuration, high-temperature options and
application-specific accessories should match the selected product configuration.
Production Planning
How the PRIMO 100 Fits Into Production
The PRIMO 100 is positioned for daily small-to-mid production. Use the vessel capacity as one part of selection; daily output also depends on batch size, refill frequency, starting temperature, recovery target and downstream demand.

Where This Size Fits
Choose this size when regular daily production and fewer refills matter, while maintaining a relatively compact production footprint.
Downstream Integration
Well suited to compact pouring, dispensing or small filling-line supply when the process requires a dedicated heated source.
System Integration
Build Beyond the Melting Tank
Mix & Condition
Add agitation or material-conditioning features when the formulation or production process requires them.
Filter & Transfer
Review filtration, pumps, heated hoses, valves and transfer components around the material and required flow rate.
Dispense & Fill
Supply semi-automatic or automated filling equipment from the heated PRIMO vessel as production grows.
