Essentia Smeltery (Thaumcraft 6)

The Essentia Smeltery is a block added by Thaumcraft 6. It is used to disassemble items and blocks into their aspects. It will eject aspects into Arcane Alembics above it. It operates at 80% efficiency; roughly 20% of smelted essentia will dissipate as Flux into the air; this can be reduced by attaching Auxillary Venting Ports to the Smeltery.

The Smeltery has an internal capacity of 256 aspects of any types. If the item to be smelted has more total aspects than the remaining capacity of the Smeltery, the item will not begin smelting until space is available, even if the loss to Flux might allow it to fit. This means that any item with 257 or more total aspects cannot be broken down in this way.
