The PRIMO 75 is a 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 with waterless PRIMO heating.
PRIMO is designed around the complete melting process. The objective is fast production melting while maintaining more controlled heat distribution, repeatable temperature control and low heating demand.
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.
PRIMO is engineered to heat evenly throughout the vessel instead of relying on a high-wattage localized heat source. This helps reduce hot spots and provides more controlled melting and holding.
PRIMO melts 2 to 3X faster using half the electricity while delivering faster melting and production recovery.
Adjustable digital control maintains repeatable material-temperature setpoints for melting and heated holding without relying on uncontrolled high-intensity heat input.
Melt times and energy use vary by material, starting temperature, batch load, ambient conditions, electrical configuration and operating procedure.
The PRIMO 75 provides a capacity of approximately 77 lb (35 kg) • 11 gallons (42 liters).
The tank is sized around usable production volume and process requirements.
Soy, paraffin, coconut blends, pillar wax, container wax and other compatible candle-wax formulations.
Beeswax, cheese-coating wax, packaging wax and compatible food-contact wax processes.
Depilatory wax, skincare waxes, microcrystalline wax, casting wax and other compatible wax-based materials.
Intended-use review, washdown environment and enhanced smooth-ground interior weld finishing.
Agitation, wax filtration, outlet size, heated valves and downstream transfer requirements.
Voltage, stand, casters, temperature range and other production-system options where offered for this model.
| Model | Capacity | Capacity | Typical Production Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| PRIMO 25 | 25 lb (11 kg) | 3.5 gal (13 L) | Lab, R&D, samples & very small batches |
| PRIMO 50 | 56 lb (25 kg) | 7 gal (26 L) | Small-batch production & specialty runs |
| PRIMO 75 | 77 lb (35 kg) | 11 gal (41 L) | Growing small-batch production |
| PRIMO 100 | 105 lb (48 kg) | 15 gal (57 L) | Daily small-to-mid production |
| PRIMO 150 | 169 lb (77 kg) | 26 gal (98 L) | Production upgrade / higher daily output |
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.
Clean 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.
The PRIMO 75 is positioned for growing small-batch production. Use the capacity as one part of selection; daily output also depends on batch size, refill frequency, starting temperature, recovery target and downstream demand.
Choose this size when you want room beyond bench-scale production without moving immediately into a large-floor-space system.
Well suited to compact pouring, dispensing or small filling-line supply when the process requires a dedicated heated source.
Add agitation or material-conditioning features when the formulation or production process requires them.
Review filtration, pumps, heated hoses, valves and transfer components around the material and required flow rate.
Supply semi-automatic or automated filling equipment from the heated PRIMO vessel as production grows.

The PRIMO 10 is a commercial stainless steel thermal-processing system engineered for beeswax melting, honey heating, heated holding and controlled dispensing.
Revolutionary PRIMO waterless heating technology delivers fast, even, energy-efficient digitally controlled heating with no water jacket and no open-flame propane heating.
The PRIMO 10 can become the thermal foundation of a complete beeswax or honey-processing operation.
PRIMO technology eliminates the water jacket and the maintenance associated with keeping a jacket filled and operating. Permanent electric heating is combined with insulation and digital temperature control to provide repeatable thermal processing.
PRIMO equipment is designed around an integrated thermal process.
The same heated vessel can melt beeswax, hold process temperature, warm honey and feed downstream dispensing or transfer equipment, depending on the selected configuration.
PRIMO systems use our proprietary waterless heating approach, which heats evenly throughout the stainless process vessel.
Beeswax can be processed from raw blocks, slabs, pellets or previously filtered material. The heated vessel provides a controlled melt and hold environment before wax is molded, filtered, transferred or dispensed.
Honey-processing configurations allow operators to hold honey at a low, honey-safe temperature (commonly about 95 to 104°F / 35 to 40°C for raw honey) and working viscosity during holding, transfer and bottling. Heated valves, pumping equipment and hoses can be incorporated where required by the process.
Each PRIMO system is inspected and function-tested prior to professional packaging and shipment.
