Apparatus for melting refrigerated butter

摘要

An apparatus for melting refrigerated butter, cream, or similar substances. A block of butter to be melted is forced by a mechanically energized punch through a grating. This grating includes heated tubes that are substantially triangular in transverse section. The block of butter is faced by angular top edges of the tubes. The wall of the grating tubes facing away from the block of butter is preferably furnished with a heat barrier, the angular edges of this wall being as sharp-cornered as possible and preferably equipped with aprons which are at least substantially perpendicular to the plane of the grating.
