Superior Build and HygieneCrafted from food-grade SS304 stainless steel, both the inner and outer tanks of the CMT-500 ensure excellent durability, hygiene, and corrosion resistance. The polished surface and sanitary fittings provide a contamination-free melting environment, meeting strict pharmaceutical and food industry standards.
Efficient Heating and MixingThe electric heater, insulated with 50 mm thick thermal material, delivers fast and uniform melting up to 60C. The central rotary mixing blade, powered by a 2.2 kW gear motor, ensures effective agitation, preventing chocolate scorching and guaranteeing a smooth, homogenous texture in every batch.
Advanced Controls and SafetyEquipped with a digital temperature control system, the CMT-500 maintains precise melting conditions with 2C accuracy. Safety features include overheat protection, an emergency stop, and visual gauge glass for level monitoring, making operation safe and reliable for staff.
Easy Cleaning and MaintenanceCleaning is hassle-free, thanks to clean-in-place (CIP) compatibility and a self-lubricating system that minimizes manual upkeep. The welded stainless steel frame and accessible design allow quick inspections, promoting long-term, hygienic, and efficient use.
FAQs of 500L Chocolate Melting Tank:
Q: How does the CMT-500 Chocolate Melting Tank maintain precise temperature control during operation?
A: The CMT-500 is equipped with a digital thermostat capable of maintaining temperatures up to 60C with an accuracy of 2C. The electric heater paired with 50 mm thick insulation ensures consistent, energy-efficient heating throughout the batch cycle.
