Hello All!!,
I have several barrels of corn syrup that are begining to
crystallize and am designing a solar melter with electric heater backup to
pump the syrup through to dissolve the crystals. I am using solar to keep
fuel costs down as much as possible.
One idea I am toying with is using 1.5 inch diameter irrigation tubing
either on the roof or on the concrete/pavement road and circulating syrup
through till clear. Remember I live in Florida and solar heat is plentiful!!
At what temperature does straight corn syrup burn/carmelize?
Does a 50/50 mix with water burn at the same temp?
Does anyone currently use a solar setup to directly heat the syrup?
God Bless,
