<p>The invention relates to an apparatus for melting refrigerated butter, cream or similar substances. According to the invention, a block (3) of butter to be melted is forced by a mechanically energized punch (4) through a grating (2), which grating (2) is composed of heated tubes (102) that are substantially triangular in transverse section. The block of butter is faced by angular top edges (7) of the tubes (102). The wall (12) of the grating tubes facing away from the block (3) of butter is preferably furnished with a heat barrier (11), the angular edges (9) of this wall being as sharp-cornered as possible and preferably equipped with aprons (13) which are at least substantially perpendicular to the plane of the grating.</p> |
