REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT & DESIGN IN HEAT EXCHANGER TECHNOLOGY • The product is 100% accessible for
The Spirajoule technology is an exclusive process for thermal treatment. The basis of its
® inspection, maintenance and cleaning
design is an electrically energized screw conveyor heated by a low electrical voltage. The • Thermal Power up to 350 KW
screw heats the product as a result of the joule effect. The product temperature is precisely
controlled by the heating screw temperature setting; screw rotation and speed setting
regulate the dwell time. This technology is designed for accurate and economical use,
efficient and easy for heating treatment up to 1652° F (900° C) on wet or dried products.

FEEDING / STEAM EXTRACTION

PRE-HEATING | HEATING | COOLING
Continuous heating screw conveyor for bulks, powders,
granulates, pasty or muddy products. The heating function
is accomplished through hot water, steam or other thermaI
fluid passage into the screw and double jacket. Cooling by
cold water, brine, glycol or other media.
