Industrial melt tanks for butter and chocolate
In food processing, eliminating manual lifting and dumping can improve efficiency and employee safety. This is particularly crucial for industries dealing with large volumes of solid products like butter and chocolate, where maintaining consistent melting temperatures is critical.

Improve safety with automated melting
The industrial melt tanks by JBT, under the A&B Process Systems brand, are designed for effective melting of various solid products such as butter, lard, chocolate, and gums. These tanks integrate product delivery systems, melt stations, and use stations into one self-contained unit, reducing manual handling. Features include custom scrape surface agitators and two-stage melt systems for applications requiring a fully-melted product reservoir. They meet stringent standards, including 3-A, USDA, cGMP, ASME (U&R), and FDA. Suitable for applications in the baby food, bakery, oils, soups, sauces, and personal care industries, the tanks are available in both industrial and sanitary designs, with or without Clean-in-Place (CIP) integration. The forceful integration of automated systems improves operational safety and consistency.
