Ergonomic melt systems for solid food and personal care products
Eliminate manual lifting and enhance safety by integrating melting, conveying, and pumping in one streamlined system, perfect for reclaiming and reworking solid ingredients like butter and chocolate.
Melts, Conveys, and Integrates Solid Products
The A&B Melt Systems from A&B Process Systems offer an ergonomic solution for melting and processing a variety of solid products, such as butter, chocolate, and personal care creams. These systems are designed to integrate seamlessly into your production line, enhancing efficiency with features like custom turbine agitators and scrape surface designs. Operating continuously, these modular systems incorporate conveyor and pumping systems for smooth product conveyance, optimized for reclaiming and reworking applications. Capable of higher throughputs, the two-stage melt system ensures a fully-melted product reservoir, with options for integrated CIP, minimizing manual maintenance. Built to meet 3-A, USDA, cGMP, ASME, and FDA standards, the systems undergo Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) before installation, ensuring readiness for your production demands.
