Reach - Melting Tank

• Melting chocolate compounds, fondants, and similar confectionery ingredients.
• Heating jams, jellies, and syrups for food processing applications.
• Pre-heating various liquids prior to their use in production lines.
• Maintaining ingredients at a consistent, elevated temperature for continuous processing.
• Preparing multiple products simultaneously for integrated production schedules.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 75 litres to 150 litres per tank, with some units featuring twin tank configurations.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard industrial electrical supplies, often 3-phase, with heating elements requiring appropriate amperage.

Temperature control

Variable temperature settings are commonly found, adjustable via a control panel, often with thermal overload protection.

Discharge mechanism

A forward-facing butterfly valve with a tri-clover clamp fitting is a common feature for product delivery.

Construction material

The tank and frame are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Mobility

Many units are mounted on a robust frame with castor wheels, often including lockable castors for stability.
