A screw pump for transporting a viscous product is described comprising a
cylindrical housing connected to a removable bottom piece in one end and
a removable cap in the opposite end, a rotor having one or more screw
blades connected to a driving motor, an inlet and an outlet wherein the
cylindrical housing is provided with a jacket for supply or removal of
heat, and the rotor is provided with one or more internal channels
connected to an inlet and an outlet for supply or removal of heat. Such a
