Screw heat exchanger for efficient thermal processing
Managing thermal processes in bulk products requires precise and efficient control of heating and cooling. Traditional methods can be challenging when dealing with diverse materials like powders, granulates, and pasty substances, necessitating a flexible and effective thermal management system.
Provides precise thermal control for bulk materials
The screw heat exchanger from ETIA Group is a versatile solution designed for various applications such as cooling, heating, drying, and evaporation of bulk products. This equipment uses a screw conveyor to handle different materials efficiently, achieved by transferring heat through the screw shaft and an optional double jacket. The exchanger can operate with chilled water, steam, or other thermal fluids. Additionally, its design allows control of atmospheric conditions, making it suitable for processes requiring wet extraction, dried air injection, or steam injection. The design includes paddles attached to the screw for better mixing and homogeneous thermal treatment. Sizes range from small to large (up to Ø1m and 12m in length), offering adaptability across diverse industry requirements.
