2. What Is a Steam Screw Conveyor for Dates?

2.1 Equipment Definition

A steam screw conveyor is an industrial device designed to transport dates from one stage to another within the production line while applying balanced steam exposure during conveying. This process improves texture and moisturizes dates without any manual intervention.

2.2 Why Steam?

Steam helps heat and hydrate dates evenly, making them softer and more suitable for use in date paste, confectionery, bakery products, and other food applications.
