Product Details
Efficient Melting of Cocoa in a Wide Variety of Scales and Formulations
RYG series fat melters are characterized by efficient heating and chocolate-processing capabilities. Based on the required production capacity, they are divided into 240L and 1700L. Different methods are used to melt chocolate ingredients, using jacket water or hot-water pipes in the equipment.
These fat melters are widely used in chocolate production lines, confectionery manufacturing plants, and specialty cocoa butter processing operations, offering versatile solutions across the food industry.
Numerous RYG series fat melters from Yucho are in operation worldwide for processing chocolate ingredients across a wide range of scales and formulations. Yucho’s 35 years ensure that both cocoa butter and liquor are consistently and accurately melted during the process for optimal results. Accurate heating of 6kW to 24kW is particularly important to avoid production strain from underheating. A wide range of temperatures, like 40-65°C jacket water and 55-80°C hot pipes, is also available to handle the output of 700L/h perfectly.

How it works
Dual Heating Systems in RYG Series Fat Melters
🧊 Jacketed Water Heating (40–65°C)
🔥 Hot Water Pipe Heating (55–80°C)
Choosing the Right System for Your Operation
- Jacketed water heating → Small-batch/artisanal production, sensitive ingredients (pure cocoa liquor), flavor-first priorities.
- Hot water pipe heating → Large-scale industrial manufacturing, high-viscosity fats/substitutes, maximum output requirements.

5 Core Steps of Industrial Fat Melting
Solid blocks of cocoa butter, cocoa butter substitutes, or pure cocoa liquor are fed (manually or automatically) into the RYG Series Fat Melter’s dedicated receiving hopper to initiate the thermal transformation process. This streamlined feeding design ensures a consistent flow of raw material, eliminating bottlenecks at the start of your production line.
Once fed, materials enter a seamless, food-grade SUS304 stainless steel chamber—crafted for maximum hygiene and durability. The RYG Series features adjustable high-power heating systems (6kW to 24kW), an innovative design that optimizes energy consumption while slashing production downtime. This robust construction guarantees sanitary operations, simplifies daily cleaning protocols, and supports uninterrupted, sustainable manufacturing workflows.
Targeted, circulating heat gently melts dense solid materials into a smooth, uniform liquid—all while maintaining exact temperature control (40–80°C, tailored to your material type). This precision is non-negotiable: it preserves the delicate natural flavor of premium cocoa fats and ensures consistent quality across every batch, avoiding overheating or burning that ruins texture and taste.
Fully melted liquid fat is transferred seamlessly out of the machine at a steady flow rate—designed to integrate perfectly with your downstream tempering, moulding, and enrobing equipment. This creates a fully automated, precision-linked production sequence, eliminating manual handling and ensuring your liquid cocoa base moves efficiently to the next stage of chocolate manufacturing.
In the final stage, the melted liquid is either held at an optimal stable temperature (for immediate use) or directed through a controlled cooling process. This cooling step solidifies the liquid fat into the exact texture and structure needed for your finished gourmet chocolate products—guaranteeing consistent shape, snap, and quality in every piece.
