'''Heating Screws''' transfer heat through contact with an external jacket (bolt-on or integral), and/or through the transfer [[Augers]] itself. The material is heated or cooled while being tranferred down the length of the [[Conveyors]]. In the case of a hollow flight auger, the flights themselves aid in heat transfer.

Heating Screws transfer heat through contact with an external jacket (bolt-on or integral), and/or through the transfer Augers itself. The material is heated or cooled while being tranferred down the length of the Conveyors. In the case of a hollow flight auger, the flights themselves aid in heat transfer. To accomplish this, a variety of heating or cooling media may be used.Heat transfer takes place via screw shaft, jacket, flights or a combination of all.
