Crystallizer

The Crystallizer is a machine added by Factorization, and is part of the Factorization ore processing chain. It must be heated by a Furnace Heater to operate.

Uses
Its main purpose is to take Reduced Chunks (created in a Slag Furnace) and Aqua Regia to create Crystalline Metal, which can be smelted into regular metal ingots.

To power this block you'll need a Furnace Heater and a Battery Block to power the Furnace Heater.

There are six slots available in the Crystallizer to place items. To process Reduced Chunks, put Aqua Regia in the bottom slot, and spread out your chunks among the remaining five slots. Each cycle takes about 20 minutes and will process one item from each slot. The product yield is 120%, so if you have filled five slots with Reduced Chunks, you typically get six Crystalline Metal per 20 minute cycle. The Aqua Regia does not get used up during the cycle.

Automation
The Crystallizer accepts input from Buildcraft pipes from the sides and allows output to be taken from the top or bottom.

Although it can process 5 reduced metal chunks at a time, pipes will not distribute items among the slots, but will move to the second slot only if an item can't fit in the first slot. This can cause a crystallizer to get clogged by having multiple types of metal sent to it, since it only has one output slot.

It also means that an entire stack of chunks can end up in the first slot, which will take 21 hours and 20 minutes to process if powered continuously, with no items in any other slots. Distributing the items manually can speed up the process by a factor of (roughly) 5 in such cases.
