Customizable Screw and Conveyor Systems with Thermal Control
S. Howes offers robust, customizable screw and conveyor systems with integrated thermal processing capabilities—designed to heat or cool bulk materials seamlessly during transport. Systems include jacketed, hollow-shaft, or flight-specific conveyors that work with single or multi-screw, tubular, split-tube, or U-trough formats. Ideal for removing redundant equipment, these systems maintain precise control over temperature (–50 °F to over 600 °F) within a compact footprint.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Integrated Heat/Cool Transport: Combining thermal treatment and conveying saves space, eliminates extra processing steps, and improves efficiency.
- Multiple Independently Jacketed Zones: Parallel-fed jackets maintain fresh, consistent temperature cycles along conveyor length—unlike single-chamber systems.
- Hollow-Shaft & Heated Flights: Shuttles heat transfer fluid internally for superior thermal contact and uniform treatment.
- Precise Controls & Instrumentation: Optional zone-specific sensors, flowmeters, gauges, and panels ensure repeatable, regulated heat/cool performance.
- Indirect Thermal Processing: No direct air contact means no exhaust systems needed—helping clients avoid permits and minimize emissions.
Options & Performance:
- Versatile Conveyor Types: Available in single/twin/multi-screw, tubular, split-tube, and U-trough configurations—thermally enhanced as needed.
