The Melt System Controlling a Change of State for the Processing Industries The chemical, pharmaceutical, food, dairy and confectionery industries frequently use materials in the liquid state, materials that are solids at ambient temperatures and pressures. A variety of pharmaceutical products incorporate low melting solid ingredients and waxes, gums and gels are more readily formulated as liquids. In the chemical industry coatings are conveniently applied as liquids. Many food products involve the use of intermediate liquids or semi-solids. These processing industries therefore require melt systems, i.e., process equipment that is designed to provide controlled melting of a solid material and retain the material in the liquid state. Thirty years of working with the processing industries has allowed A&B Process Systems to gain valuable experience in the design, fabrication and installation of such systems. Today the company is able to provide melt systems that are easy to maintain, reduce the labor involved, improve safety and can be efficiently cleaned. These benefits in the operation of the process system translate into economic advantages, e.g., lower operating costs and a shorter return on investment for the customer. Do you want to learn more?
