A bulk product melt system including a portable support platform
positionable with respect to a bulk product source vessel. A water
heating system is positioned with respect to the support platform and
includes a water tank, which contains a volume of water heated to a
selected process water temperature. A water flowmeter in control
communication with the water tank monitors a water flowmeter rate of the
heated water from the water tank. A mixing eductor in fluidic
communication with the water tank receives the heated water at a
controlled water flowmeter rate from the water tank. The portable bulk
product melt system also includes a bulk product mixing system that is
positioned with respect to the portable support platform and includes a
bulk product receiver having an inlet portion in fluidic communication
with an outlet of the bulk product source vessel and an outlet portion in
fluidic communication with the mixing eductor. The bulk product receiver
receives bulk product from the bulk product source vessel and discharges
the bulk product into the mixing eductor through a continuous weigher.
Within the mixing eductor, the bulk product is mixed with the heated
water to produce a melted product mixture. The melted product mixture is
discharged from the mixing eductor into an inlet of the bulk product
source vessel in discharge communication with the mixing eductor.
