This custom made 250-gallon melter is made with a long sloping funnel leading to a large, heated drain valve. The melter is controlled with a remote digital controller at 400F.  A stirrer maintains  the consistency of a special wax compound during the melt cycle. This melter will be mounted later onto a stand, to allow room for a container under the drain..

The pot and contents are easily removed from the main melter.   

Our Multi Melters include two stainless steel pots with handles.
