Rapid-Recovery Heating for High-Throughput Batch Production
The PRIMO 3000 Rapid-Cycle Industrial Melter is engineered for production environments where material is loaded repeatedly and recovery between loads can determine daily output.
Capacity / Dimensions / Power
Production Capacity With Rapid-Recovery Heating
Approximate wax capacity is 3,500 lb (1,597 kg) in a 495 gal (1,874 L) vessel. Inner dimensions are 50" diameter × 50" deep; overall dimensions are approximately 52" L × 52" W × 52" H. Installed Rapid-Cycle heating power is 6,630 W, the same as the corresponding PRIMO X-Treme configuration.
When Recovery Time Controls Production
Built Around the Next Load, Not Just the First Melt
Rapid-Cycle is intended for operations where filling, transfer, coating, casting, pumping or another downstream process is waiting for material to recover toward the required operating temperature after new material is added.
Repeated LoadingNew material is introduced throughout the production day. Recovery Is a BottleneckThermal recovery is consuming meaningful production time. Throughput Has a TargetOutput can be defined by pounds per cycle, recovery minutes or batches per shift.
Repeated Batch Production
Load → Recover → Process → Reload
Rapid-Cycle is designed around repeated production loading. Actual recovery depends on material, batch size, feed temperature, target temperature, operating level, ambient conditions, agitation, recirculation and operator procedure.
Required Recovery Target
Size the System Around the Production Requirement
Provide the pounds added per cycle, starting temperature, operating temperature, desired recovery time and production demand per shift. These are the variables used to determine whether this Rapid-Cycle model is appropriately sized.
Material Compatibility
Higher Recovery Capability Must Match the Material
Rapid-Cycle is intended for waxes and compatible industrial materials that can tolerate the selected heat-transfer rate. Heat-sensitive formulations or materials prone to scorching, separation, skin formation or localized buildup should be reviewed before selecting Rapid-Cycle.
