1. Overview and Core Functions
The oil melting tank, also called an oil melting cylinder, is common in food seasoning and pet feed industries.
It is a dissolving tank, specifically an oil-dissolving melting tank.
Its core functions include heating, dissolving, storing, and heat preservation.
We categorize oil melting tanks into two types: those with agitation and those without.
Raw materials are usually stored at low temperatures. Therefore, most oil melting tanks have heating and heat preservation functions.
Heating and heat preservation help dissolve fats and oils quickly.
They also speed up the dissolution reaction.
2. Heating Methods and Tank Shape Design
We choose heating methods based on process requirements.
Common options include electric heating rods, standard jacket heating, and honeycomb plate jacket heating.
We can design the oil melting tank as circular or square, depending on operating conditions.
Most tanks have a side-opening cover on the top.
This cover makes it easy to feed large solid materials.
3. Core System Design
The oil melting tank’s core design focuses on three systems: agitation, heating, and cleaning.
Hygiene is critical for pharmaceuticals, food, and beverage industries.
Thus, the cleaning system design is very important.
Our company designs the cleaning system based on the tank body’s characteristics.
It achieves 360° all-round, dead-corner-free cleaning.
This ensures thorough cleaning and sanitation.
4. Agitation System and Company Strengths
We select the agitation system’s design style based on different materials.
Common types include paddle type, dispersion disc type, emulsifying head type, and propelling type.
We can use a single type or a combination of two or three types for agitation.
Our company has rich experience in designing and manufacturing stainless steel tanks.
We welcome inquiries about oil melting tanks, batching tanks, and agitation tanks.
We also provide extraction tanks, reaction kettles, and complete production line equipment.
These products apply to food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
