The melt system: Controlling a change of state for the processing industries

by A&B Process Systems Corp.

This white paper by A&B Process Systems Corp. explains the melt system, which typically includes a stainless steel tank, a melt grate, agitators, pumps, heat transfer panels and an external heat exchange unit, interconnected by stainless steel piping. The pharmaceutical industry frequently uses materials in the liquid state that are solids at ambient temperatures and pressures. They therefore require melt systems or process equipment designed to provide controlled melting of a solid material and retain the material in the liquid state. This paper discusses some factors important to the design of the system. It further explains the melting process and guidelines for fabrication and installation of the system.
