During the processing of many bulk materials, there is a requirement to cool, heat, or maintain a specific product temperature while conveying the product. The desired temperature fluctuations must be calculated and engineered into the system to accomplish the preferred objectives. KWS Heat Transfer Screw Processors are the perfect solution for these applications. As a screw conveyor manufacturer, KWS is unique because we are certified by ASME to build and repair coded pressure vessels. All KWS Heat Transfer Screw Processors are manufactured in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. In addition, every component and assembly is manufactured in the USA by highly skilled craftsmen in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility.
Heat Transfer Screw Processors are referred to by many different names:
KWS Heat Transfer Screw Processors indirectly transfer heat to or from bulk materials by introducing a heat transfer medium such as cool water, hot oil or steam through a special trough jacket and/or center pipe and hollow flights. Cooling or heating a bulk material to a desired exit temperature is accomplished by the surface area of the screw processor and designing the system flow to match the heat load requirements of the application.
KWS Heat Transfer Screw Processors are very cost-effective when compared to other methods of heat transfer. KWS designs and manufactures Heat Transfer Screw Processors to meet the needs of many industries, such as Chemical, Minerals Processing, Food, Power and Wastewater Treatment.
