Hot Wax Pressure Tank System 12 l / 24 l
Supplies one or two manual or automatic spray guns from the heated 12 l pressure tank through a core-heated hose – the material stays in the system, no flushing.
Request a quote by e-mailHeated, fully insulated pressure tank, core-heated material hose and one or two manual or automatic guns: wax, oil and oil-wax combinations are liquefied in the tank at up to 95 °C and conveyed warm all the way to the nozzle. After the shift the material stays in the system — at the next use it is re-melted in tank and hose. No pre-melting, no daily flushing.

Solves your problem if …
- You process wax, oil or oil-wax combinations continuously and are constantly refilling, pre-melting and flushing with cup guns. The brochure puts it briefly: "for bigger quantities".
- Your medium is solvent-free and melts at 95 °C or below: hard wax, beeswax, release wax, oils. KUNDE: Media approval taken from the 2011 manual (previous model) — does it apply to the current system? liability-relevant
- You want to supply a stationary system, an automatic spraying machine or a robot with hot wax — the system feeds automatic guns.
- You want to supply two workstations from one tank (two guns, manual or automatic, mixed).
- You run natural waxes in continuous operation that cure in air: the tank can be operated with the exclusion of oxygen.
Not the right choice if …
- You process solvent-based paints or media. The system is not explosion-proof; solvent-based paints are not approved.
- Your medium has a melting point above 95 °C.
- You only need occasional cup quantities → Duoline 2.0 hot wax spray gun with 0.4 l cup.
- You are looking for a heated airless hose for emulsion paints or coatings at 230 bar → WarmUp heated airless hose. The pressure tank system works at low pressure (tank pressure max. 3 bar).

How the pressure tank system works
The problem: Anyone processing wax in quantity loses time pre-melting, refilling small cups and cleaning lines in which the wax solidifies. Natural waxes that react with air cure in nozzle and hose.
The solution: In the heated pressure tank the wax is heated to processing temperature. Tank pressure conveys it through a core-heated hose to the spray gun — no pump is needed for circulation. Tank and hose are heated independently of each other; the material stays warm all the way to the nozzle. After use the wax remains in the system and is re-liquefied in tank and hose at the next use; flushing and cleaning are largely eliminated. In continuous operation the tank can be operated with the exclusion of oxygen, which prevents the curing of oxidatively reacting natural waxes. The fully insulated tank has an integrated strainer; tank pressure and atomizing pressure are regulated separately. Spraying is possible in all directions — there is no cup on the gun that could run out.

Frequently asked questions about the hot wax pressure tank system
Does the system have to be flushed daily?
No. After use the wax stays in the system and is re-liquefied at the next use, both in the tank and in the material hose. Time-consuming flushing and cleaning is hardly necessary any more.
How long does it take until the system is ready for operation?
According to the brochure, the preheating phase is approx. 15–20 minutes. KUNDE: does this apply to 12 l and 24 l, at which filling level and target temperature?
Does natural wax cure in the line and nozzle?
In continuous operation the tank can be operated with the exclusion of oxygen. This prevents the curing of oxidatively reacting natural waxes and enables reliable operation. Tank and hose are heated independently; the material stays liquid all the way to the nozzle.
Can I run a manual and an automatic gun at the same time?
Yes. The system supplies manual and automatic guns; one or two guns are connected as required. An agitator and a level probe are installed as options. KUNDE: control of the automatic gun — signal, valve, interface to the line
Which media are approved — oil as well?
Solvent-free waxes, oils and oil-wax combinations and other solvent-free media with a melting point up to 95 °C. KUNDE: Media approval taken from the 2011 manual (previous model) — does it apply to the current system? liability-relevant Solvent-based paints are not approved; the system is not explosion-proof.
Which power supply do I need?
VISECO states 230 VAC and 2200 VA. KUNDE: clarify — the brochure 01/2022 states 230/400 VAC, the old manual 400 VAC 16 A. Answer only after approval; not in the FAQ schema until then
Is the system suitable for plastic foundation sheets in beekeeping?
Yes, the commercial beekeeping trade is one of the named applications: beeswax is sprayed from the heated tank via the core-heated hose onto plastic foundation sheets and frames — in series, without refilling a cup. KUNDE: release quantity figures (frames/day) and wax quantity per foundation sheet — today documented only as a dealer snippet
From what quantity is the pressure tank worthwhile instead of the cup gun?
VISECO positions the pressure tank system "for bigger quantities": continuous consumption, stationary systems, two workstations or automatic guns. For cup quantities at a manual workstation the Duoline 2.0 is sufficient. KUNDE: guide value in kg/day or workpieces/day from which VISECO recommends the tank
