Industrial Beekeeping Hive Dipping System
WaxMelters industrial hive dipping tanks are custom-built
electric thermal-processing systems for controlled,
high-temperature wax treatment of hive boxes and other
commercial beekeeping components.
Each system is designed around the actual load being submerged,
including hive-box dimensions, boxes per batch, working depth,
wax displacement, operating temperature and production rate.
Fast, even, energy-efficient waterless heating without
a propane burner or open flame.
Designed for Full Hive Immersion
Submerging hive boxes can displace a substantial volume of molten
wax. For that reason, the correct dipping system depends on more
than tank capacity alone.
Designed Around the Load
- Hive-box outside dimensions
- Number of boxes per batch
- Box orientation or stacking arrangement
- Required immersion depth
Designed Around the Process
- Operating temperature
- Wax or wax blend
- Expected material displacement
- Desired production cycle rate
Choose Your Dipping Tank Configuration
WaxMelters offers three primary configurations based on how
displaced wax and overflow need to be handled during immersion.
STANDARD
Standard Hive Dipping Tank
Straightforward heated immersion tank for processes
that do not require a dedicated overflow-management area.
- Custom tank dimensions
- Electric high-temperature heating
- Simple immersion configuration
- Best for lower-displacement processes
POPULAR PRODUCTION CONFIGURATION
Spillway Return System
Adds a fabricated spillway around the working vessel
to control wax displaced when hive boxes are submerged.
- Provides a controlled overflow pathway
- Helps prevent uncontrolled wax loss
- Directs displaced material back toward the process area
- Designed for repeated production cycles
ENHANCED CONTAINMENT
Reservoir / Trough System
Adds an additional fabricated inner wall that creates
a dedicated perimeter trough around the working vessel.
- Greater displaced-material capacity
- Dedicated perimeter containment area
- Additional overflow management
- Useful for higher-displacement applications
Available Spillway & Trough Sizes
2″ Spillway
Compact overflow-management configuration.
Compact overflow-management configuration.
3″ Spillway
Increased spillway capacity for greater material displacement.
Increased spillway capacity for greater material displacement.
2″ × 2″ Reservoir / Trough
Dedicated containment channel created by an additional inner wall.
Dedicated containment channel created by an additional inner wall.
3″ × 3″ Reservoir / Trough
Larger perimeter reservoir for processes requiring
additional containment capacity.
Larger perimeter reservoir for processes requiring
additional containment capacity.
Which configuration should you choose?
The correct design depends on tank size, hive-box load,
operating wax level and expected displacement. WaxMelters can
recommend the appropriate configuration from your process information.

Revolutionary PRIMO Hive Dipping Technology
WaxMelters approaches hive dipping as an engineered thermal process.
Our PRIMO waterless heating technology combines controlled electric
heating, insulated stainless steel construction and custom
tank geometry with overflow-management systems designed around
the actual load being submerged.
The result is a faster, more controlled and more efficient approach
to commercial hive dipping.
More Than a Heated Tank
Waterless Heating Technology
PRIMO systems eliminate the water jacket and
associated water maintenance while providing controlled electric heating evenly throughout the process vessel.
Designed Around Displacement
Tank size is calculated around hive-box dimensions,
operating level and the volume of wax displaced when
the load is submerged.
Engineered Overflow Control
Spillway and reservoir/trough configurations provide
dedicated areas for controlling wax displaced during
the dipping cycle.
Production-Level Construction
Industrial stainless construction, insulation, digital
control and custom configurations are designed for
repeatable commercial processing.
Standard, Spillway or Reservoir / Trough?
The best system depends on how much material is displaced during
immersion and how you want that displaced wax managed.
-
Standard Dipping Tank:
straightforward immersion vessel where a dedicated
overflow-management area is not required. -
Spillway Return System:
adds a fabricated overflow area that controls displaced wax
and provides a defined path back toward the process vessel. -
Reservoir / Trough System:
adds an additional fabricated inner wall to create a dedicated
containment channel for greater displaced-material capacity.
Available configurations:
