Wenesco Wax Melting Pots
Models MW10, MW20, MW15R
Wenesco Models MW10, MW20, and MW15R are convection-heated wax melting pots designed to safely process soft materials that liquefy at temperatures up to 250°F. These industrial melting pots provide even heat distribution without the risks associated with direct heat or water jacket systems, helping maintain product consistency while reducing the chance of scorching sensitive materials.
Built with insulated construction and accurate digital temperature controls, Wenesco melting pots support reliable thermal processing in demanding production environments.
Convection heating eliminates hot water handling while delivering stable and uniform temperatures throughout the melt cycle. The fully insulated design improves operator safety by keeping exterior surfaces cooler during operation and helps conserve energy during continuous use.
Wenesco wax melting pots also reduce maintenance concerns associated with exposed immersion heaters, providing dependable long-term performance for industrial wax melting and low-temperature material processing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can Wenesco wax melting pots process?
Wenesco wax melting pots are designed for soft materials that liquefy at temperatures up to 250°F, including waxes, compounds, coatings, and other low-temperature materials used in industrial processing applications.
What are the advantages of convection heating in wax melting pots?
Convection heating provides uniform heat distribution without direct contact between heating elements and the product. This helps prevent hot spots, reduces the risk of scorching sensitive materials, and improves process consistency.
How long does it take for a Wenesco wax melting pot to heat up?
Typical heat-up time ranges from approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the material volume and operating temperature requirements.
Are Wenesco wax melting pots safer than water jacket melters?
Yes. Convection-heated melting pots eliminate the need for hot water jackets, reducing spill risks and minimizing retained heat after shutdown. The insulated exterior also helps reduce accidental surface burns.
Why is digital temperature control important in wax melting applications?
Accurate digital temperature control helps prevent overheating sensitive materials and maintains stable processing temperatures for improved product quality and repeatable thermal performance.
