Technical details

Water-jacketed batch fat melting tanks for cocoa butter, palm oil, shea butter, coconut oil, and other fat-based input.

Selection begins with input format.

No-grid build includes FMT50, FMT100, and FMT200 on 220 V single-phase, for drops, chips, or pre-cut input, with a 50–200 L range.

Grid build includes FMT300, FMT500, FMT500INS, and FMT1000INS on 380 V three-phase, for whole blocks placed on a hot-water grid, with a 300–1000 L range.

FMT500INS and FMT1000INS add glass wool insulation that FMT300 and FMT500 do not have.

Typical refining-line position is upstream of the pre-mixer and ball mill refiner.

50–1000 L.

Fat Melting Tank FMT50 (No-Grid Tabletop)

Fat Melting Tank FMT50 (No-Grid Tabletop)

Tabletop no-grid fat melting tank for drops, chips, or pre-cut cocoa butter and vegetable fats. The water jacket heats from the outside: small pieces melt efficiently, whole uncut blocks slowly. One block fits. No pump integration — manual or gravity transfer only. Move to FMT100 above 50 L, or to a grid model when the line is pump-fed or whole-block cycle time is production-critical. Nominal capacity: 50 L. 220 V single-phase, 700 W.

Rectangular reservoir; tabletop fat melter
Melting system
No melting grid — heat from water jacket only

Fat Melting Tank FMT200 (No-Grid)

Fat Melting Tank FMT200 (No-Grid)

Largest single-phase no-grid fat melting tank, for drops, chips, or pre-cut cocoa butter and solid vegetable fats. Whole-block cycle time becomes slow at production scale — the limit of the no-grid group. Four blocks fit. No pump integration — manual or gravity transfer only. Above 200 L, or where the line is pump-fed or whole-block cycle time is production-critical, move to FMT300 on 380 V three-phase. Nominal capacity: 200 L. 220 V single-phase, 1500 W.

Fat Melting Tank FMT300 (Melting Grid)

Fat Melting Tank FMT300 (Melting Grid)

Entry grid fat melting tank for whole blocks placed directly on a hot-water circulation grid; heat enters at the block surface from below, removing the no-grid cycle-time penalty. Four blocks fit. Not insulated; heater duty cycle is higher than the INS models in continuous operation. Fixed grid with optional pneumatic agitation, or rotatable grid for cleaning access — mutually exclusive. Optional pump; the flowmeter requires the pump. Move to FMT500 above 300 L, or to an INS model when lower energy use per operating hour is required. Nominal capacity: 300 L. 380 V three-phase, 6 kW.

Fat Melting Tank FMT500 (Melting Grid)

Fat Melting Tank FMT500 (Melting Grid)

Grid fat melting tank for whole blocks placed directly on a hot-water circulation grid; surface heating from below removes the per-cycle time penalty of a no-grid jacket at production scale. Six blocks fit. Not insulated; heater duty cycle is higher than FMT500INS in continuous operation. Fixed grid with optional pneumatic agitation, or rotatable grid for cleaning access — not combinable. Optional pump; the flowmeter requires the pump. Choose FMT300 at 300 L or below; choose FMT500INS for lower energy use per operating hour at the same capacity. Nominal capacity: 500 L. 380 V three-phase, 6 kW.

Insulated Fat Melter FMT500INS (Melting Grid)

Insulated Fat Melter FMT500INS (Melting Grid)

Insulated grid fat melting tank for whole blocks on a hot-water circulation grid. Glass wool insulation around the water jacket limits heat exchange with the room in both directions: lower heater duty cycle in continuous operation, lower energy use per hour, and less waste heat into the production area than FMT500. Six blocks fit. Optional pneumatic agitation prevents phase separation in mixtures with suspended solids such as diluted cocoa liquor; it requires the fixed grid and is not compatible with the rotatable grid option. Optional pump; the flowmeter requires the pump. Move to FMT1000INS above 500 L. Nominal capacity: 500 L. 380 V three-phase, 7.3 kW.
