INSULATION AUGER TUBE

A screw conveyor or auger conveyor is a mechanism that uses a rotating helical screw blade, called a "flighting", usually within a tube, to move liquid or granular materials. Screw conveyors in modern restaurant equipment are often used horizontally or at a slight incline as an efficient way to move semi-solid materials, including food, ice, waste, wood chips, cereal grains, meat, and many others.

Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer (i.e., the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative influence. Thermal insulation can be achieved with specially engineered methods or processes, as well as with suitable object shapes and materials.
