Process Equipment & Custom Systems
Industrial Wax Removal & Dewaxing Systems
Custom heated process systems for removing, melting, draining,
circulating, collecting and recovering wax or appropriate
thermally removable materials from parts, patterns, shells,
molds, tooling and manufactured components.
Engineered Around What You Need to Remove
Wax removal and dewaxing systems solve a different production
problem than conventional wax melting or coating equipment.
Instead of preparing wax for application, these systems are
configured to remove wax or another appropriate thermally
removable material from a component while controlling
temperature, drainage, circulation and material handling.
The proper configuration depends on the material being removed,
what it is being removed from, allowable component temperature,
process medium, batch dimensions, production rate and whether
the removed material must be collected, filtered or recovered.
Wax Removal System Configurations
Heated Immersion Systems
Custom tanks for immersing parts, patterns, tooling or
components in a controlled heated process medium.
Dewaxing Process Tanks
Thermal systems supporting controlled wax removal in
investment casting, foundry and precision manufacturing.
Circulating Removal Systems
Recirculation can improve thermal uniformity and move
process fluid throughout larger or more complex vessels.
Rapid-Recovery Heated Systems
Increased thermal capacity can help recover process
temperature after colder parts or production loads
enter the vessel.
Wax Collection & Recovery
Drainage, settling, filtration and collection provisions
can support reclaim or downstream material handling.
Custom Integrated Systems
Tanks, circulation, filtration, heated transfer,
controls and part-handling provisions can be configured
around the complete process.

The System Is Sized Around the Process, Not Just Gallons
Vessel capacity is only one part of wax-removal system design.
Component size, working depth, incoming temperature, material
mass, target process temperature and cycle time can significantly
affect heating capacity and vessel configuration.
Thermal Requirements
- Operating temperature
- Incoming part temperature
- Maximum allowable component temperature
- Required temperature recovery time
- Production cycles per shift
- Heat-retention and insulation requirements
Process Requirements
- Part dimensions and working depth
- Wax or material being removed
- Immersion or circulation requirements
- Drainage and collection
- Filtration or separation
- Material recovery or disposal method
Available Process Features
Insulated Construction
Helps retain heat during continuous or high-demand
production cycles.
Circulation & Recirculation
Process-fluid movement can be incorporated when required
for thermal uniformity or material removal.
Screens & Baskets
Removable screens, work supports and component-holding
provisions can be configured around the part.
Filtration & Separation
Support removal of wax, solids or process contaminants
from circulating or recovered material.
Heated Transfer
Pumps, valves, hoses and heated transfer components can
move recovered material into downstream equipment.
Custom Tank Geometry
Internal dimensions, working depth and process connections
can be designed around the component or production load.
Wax Removal vs. Wax Dipping & Coating
These are separate process categories. Wax dipping and coating
equipment is designed to apply molten wax or another heated
material to a product. Wax removal and dewaxing equipment is
designed to release or remove wax from a part, pattern,
shell, mold or tool.
If your process applies material to the component, use our
Wax Dipping, Coating & Casting equipment. If your process
removes wax or a sacrificial material from the component,
this is the correct equipment category.
Industries & Manufacturing Applications
Investment Casting
Dewaxing support, pattern-wax handling, collection
and reclaim.

Wax and appropriate sacrificial-material removal
from precision components and tooling.
Additive Manufacturing
Removal of appropriate wax-based or thermally removable
materials from printed patterns or components.
Industrial Recovery
Wax removal, collection, conditioning and reclaim
for production reuse or downstream handling.
