Solid Waste Thermal Processing & Resource Recovery Systems
WaxMelters builds thermal processing systems for solid and semi-solid waste streams that require heating, softening, melting, or conditioning before recovery, separation, or disposal reduction.
Solid waste materials often contain waxes, oils, coatings, organics, adhesives, grease, or other residues that make them difficult to handle at ambient temperature. Thermal conditioning improves flow, separation, and downstream processing efficiency.
Designed for Solid & Semi-Solid Materials
This equipment is designed for waste streams that are not primarily liquid but still require controlled heat to make the material processable.
- Wax-coated solids
- Production scrap
- Organic waste and mixed feedstock
- Grease-heavy solids
- Coated packaging or process residue
- Industrial byproducts requiring heating before separation
Typical Solid Waste Processing Flow
| Step |
Process |
| 1 |
Material loading into heated vessel or conditioning tank |
| 2 |
Controlled heating to soften, melt, or loosen bonded material |
| 3 |
Agitation, settling, screening, or transfer preparation |
| 4 |
Separation, filtration, decanting, or downstream recovery |
Applications
- Solid waste pre-processing
- Wax and coating removal
- Organic feedstock conditioning
- Industrial residue softening
- Material reclamation and reuse
- Waste volume reduction support
Why Round Heated Tanks Matter
For many thermal processing applications, round tanks provide important advantages over square tanks. Round vessels promote more even heating, reduce corner buildup, improve material movement, and are generally easier to clean and drain.
This is especially important when processing sticky, viscous, waxy, or residue-heavy materials that can collect in corners or create localized hot spots.

System Configuration
System sizing depends on material type, temperature requirement, solids content, viscosity, batch size, and downstream recovery goals. WaxMelters can configure tanks and support equipment for pilot testing, production use, or custom industrial applications.
