screw heat exchangers
Screw heat exchangers are used to cool or heat the products in the broadest sense of the word.
Screw heat exchangers are widely used in the chemical, environmental and food industries and in recycling. Cooling, heating and/or drying products using this controlled method and simultaneously transporting them, is an effective, low-noise, energy-efficient and dust-free solution.
A thermal screw conveyor, or screw heat exchanger, is an indirect or direct heat exchanger based on a screw conveyor. The closed system consists of one or more screw shafts, double-walled casing and screws or a combination of these, with thermal fluid passing through them. The screw can also be double-walled in order to increase the heat exchange surface.
A screw heat exchanger can be used for many products and applications: from cooling sand to drying starch. A screw heat exchanger can be used as part of a process, can be coupled seamlessly to existing production lines and cooling water/power supplies, and can also be used as a stand-alone application. The combination of transporting and simultaneously cooling, heating, mixing and/or drying products is one of the huge benefits of a screw heat exchanger.
