Fat melter Mondomix FM

Overview
The Mondomix FM fat melter dissolves solid fat blocks in batches for subsequent processing using optimized heat input tailored to specific fat types to prevent lumping and flocculation. The unit can be supplied with recirculation piping and valves.

Key benefits

• Modular capacities: standard capacity 400 kg/h; other sizes available on request to match production requirements.
• Integrated filtration: removable filter at the pump captures foreign material to prevent product contamination.
• Process-oriented design: triangular tank geometry increases contact surface for efficient heat transfer and controlled melting.

Highlight features
Fat is a key ingredient in many confectionery applications and requires gentle melting to maintain product quality. The Mondomix FM provides controlled batch melting with optimized heat management and a removable pump-mounted filter for easy cleaning and contamination control.

Application possibilities

• Production and handling of fat creams and fat-based confectionery intermediates.

Process chain (main process steps and purpose)

• Fat melting: batch dissolution of solid fat blocks in a buffer tank to produce a slurry for downstream processing; heat input is controlled to avoid lumping or flocculation.
• Premixing: agitator blends fats with sugar, milk powder, lecithin and flavors; rotating and stationary blades emulsify the mixture.
• Buffering & tempering: buffer tanks maintain product quality before further processing.
• Crystallizing: continuous scraping achieves target viscosity while avoiding gas entrainment.
• Aerating: controlled aeration improves texture and mouthfeel.
• Depositing / sheeting: compatible with various depositing and sheeting systems for different end products.
