Industrial Wax Removal, Dewaxing & Material Recovery Systems

Heated tanks and custom process systems for removing, melting, draining, separating and recovering wax or thermally removable materials from parts, patterns, tooling, molds and manufactured components.

What the Equipment Must Do

Select the tank and downstream equipment around the material, operating temperature, working volume, hold time and production cadence—not the industry name alone.

Removal mechanism

Determine whether wax is melted out, washed, drained, separated or otherwise thermally released.

Part protection

Set process temperature and handling around the component or tooling.

Recovery

Decide whether removed material is discarded, filtered, clarified or returned to production.

Cycle time

Account for repeated cold loads and required temperature recovery between parts or batches.

Which PRIMO System Fits This Process?

Recommended starting point: PRIMO Rapid-Cycle. Wax removal and dewaxing are not ordinary melting applications, so a dedicated removal system should lead the equipment decision. When a PRIMO-style heated vessel is part of the process, Rapid-Cycle is especially relevant for repeated cold-part or batch loading that demands fast recovery. Standard PRIMO is useful for recovered-wax melting and reprocessing. Thermal Conditioning is useful when reclaimed wax or process material requires controlled holding or clarification.
Melting & Production Holding

Standard PRIMO

Use downstream for melting, reheating or preparing recovered compatible wax for reuse.

Controlled Heating & Extended Holding

PRIMO Thermal Conditioning

Use for controlled holding, settling or conditioning of reclaimed material after removal.

RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT
Recovery Speed & Production Throughput

PRIMO Rapid-Cycle

Most relevant PRIMO family for compatible repeated removal/immersion cycles where cold loads create recovery demand.

Typical Thermal-Process Workflow

  1. 01

    Define the removal method and part load.

  2. 02

    Engineer the heated removal vessel around cycle and recovery requirements.

  3. 03

    Separate recovery, filtration and reclaim conditioning into the downstream workflow.

Have WaxMelters Review the Application

Send the material, starting and target temperatures, working volume, hold time, batch frequency, downstream process and available electrical service. For regulated or sanitary processes, also include required surface finish, fittings, cleaning method and facility standards.
