Thermal augers are especially important to the food industry and the bio-energy pioneers. They are most often built with stainless steel fabricators, but sometimes carbon steel. The purpose of thermal auger to bring the material moved by the auger to a desired temperature. Thermal auger systems can be made to eitherheat or chill the product going through it. Food processors often like to keep their ingredients to a semi- frozen
state, so a chilled conveying system is found most beneficial, however cheese
manufacturers find a heated auger useful for moving and compressing cheese as it’s
made.
Those companies involved in the production of bio-energy are looking to us to help on both their heating and cooling needs. At this time, Astro is able to provide augers that can attain temperatures between 32 and 500 degrees F. and a diameter range of 6” to 24”. We can also provide variable pitches, a variety of jackets and other components of a screw conveyor system.
