Easimelt Melting tank

• Melting and holding chocolate, compound, or cocoa butter at precise temperatures for confectionery production.
• Preparing fondants, icings, and glazes for bakery and patisserie items.
• Heating and maintaining jams, jellies, and fruit purees for various food applications.
• Pre-heating syrups, oils, or other liquid ingredients prior to mixing or further processing.
• Tempering small batches of chocolate for artisan and small-scale production.

Typical capacity

Melting tanks in this class commonly range from 50 litres to 200 litres, with 75 litres being a frequently encountered size.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, for efficient heating.

Heating method

Most Easimelt units utilise a water jacket or direct electric heating elements to provide controlled, indirect heat.

Temperature control

Typically features an adjustable thermostat to maintain precise temperatures, crucial for products like chocolate.

Construction material

For food contact and hygiene, the internal tank and contact parts are invariably constructed from food-grade stainless steel.

Mobility

Many units, particularly those up to 100 litres, are designed to be mobile, often fitted with castors for ease of relocation within a facility.

Agitation

Some models may include an agitator to ensure even heat distribution and prevent scorching or skin formation on the product.

• What maintenance is typically required for an Easimelt melting tank?

  Routine cleaning of the tank and exterior is essential. For water-jacketed models, periodic checks and replenishment of the water level are necessary. Electrical components should be inspected by a qualified technician as part of a preventative maintenance schedule.

Used cooking vessels and kettles are valued in food processing for reliable thermal performance when properly maintained. Buyers typically prioritise construction quality, material condition, and heating system functionality. Key considerations include capacity specifications, internal surface condition, and seal integrity. These units generally offer good value when sourced from reputable previous operators. Industry sentiment favours equipment with documented service history and minimal corrosion. Stainless steel variants are particularly sought after for durability and hygiene compliance in commercial food preparation environments.
