ESCO's solid curative melter is used for melting solids such as MOCA / MBOCA and other pelletized materials that are to be mixed with a pre-polymer in the manufacturing of elastomeric parts.Two versions of melters are offered:

MOCA / MBOCA Stand Alone Solid Curative Melter

• The MOCA / MBOCA solid curative melter is a five gallon working capacity, non-painted stainless steel tank, with an inverted cone melter that is supported by a hot oil closed loop recirculation system with independent electronic controller which also supports the (optional) MOCA dispenser. The tank includes constant level control and an lighted inspection port. The system is capable of MOCA / MBOCA melt rate of between 300 to 800 grams/min. (up to 1.75 lbs/min) at a hot oil operating temperature of 135C (275F).
• A regenerative blower and hosing is provided to vacuum transfer the pellets from a fiber drum to the melter with exhaust diverted back to fiber drum to minimize dust released. Blower is interfaced with the melt tank level controls to maintain a minimum constant melt level to prevent heat degradation.

Automatic Production System

• The ESCO solid curative melter system can be incorporated into an automatic production system for the manufacture of elastomer based products. The integration with an ESCO mix head and metering system to meter a pre-polymer with the curative through the mix head into a mold allows for automated operation where large volume production is required.
