    摘要: A modular microwave choke assembly for attenuating microwave energy along a rotating shaft. The choke assembly generally includes a plurality of choke rings connected together, the plurality of choke rings positioned and shaped to surround a portion of a shaft that extends out of a microwave chamber, wherein each choke ring creates a high-impedance zone adjacent to the portion of the shaft surrounded by each choke ring. The plurality of choke rings are spaced apart from each other along the shaft. A plurality of gaps are formed between the plurality of choke rings, along the shaft, wherein the gaps are created by the spaces between the plurality of choke rings. The choke rings and the gaps create alternating high-impedance and low-impedance zones along the shaft that attenuate microwave energy.

    摘要: An automated hopper and belt conveyor apparatus that can be used to feed bulk material into a mixer in order to create a feed mixture for farm animals. The automated hopper and belt conveyor apparatus includes a support frame that supports a hopper and an inclined belt conveyor that operate under control of a controller to accurately feed a desired quantity (in weight) of a bulk material item from the hopper to the mixer by forward-direction operation of the inclined belt conveyor. Excess bulk material that has been loaded into the hopper (bulk material over the desired quantity in weight) is reclaimed by the controller controlling opening a rear gate of the hopper and reverse-direction operation of the inclined belt conveyor.

    摘要: A pair of door stabilizer bracket units, each unit including a clamping mechanism for gripping a vertical frame member of a separate one of a pair of double swinging doors that are closed when the vertical frame members are adjacent one another, the doors being hinged along a respective vertical line remote from a respective one of said vertical frame members, the bracket units when the doors are closed having parts that interengage and limit relative vertical movement of said doors at said vertical frame members while not substantially impeding opening and closing movement of the doors or requiring manipulation of a unit on the respective door to release the bracket units from any interengagement such that the bracket units can be simply disengaged from any interengagement by door opening movement.

    摘要: A high-pressure pre-heating system is provided for use in a spray dryer system. The high-pressure pre-heating system may include a heat exchanger(s) configured for high-pressure and high velocity product flow, with the heat exchanger(s) preheating liquid product immediately before spray drying. This arrangement reduces heat exposure time of the liquid product that flows at high velocity through the high-pressure heat exchanger(s), which correspondingly reduces the likelihood of fouling surfaces of the heat exchanger(s) or overheating the liquid product.

    摘要: A terpene extraction system and method for efficiently extracting valuable terpenes from biological material, such as hemp. The terpene extraction system and method generally includes a fluid-bed mixer having a vessel, wherein the vessel can hold a vacuum and contain microwaves such that microwaves and vacuum can be applied to biological material in the vessel. The system also may include a microwave generator adapted to provide microwave radiation to the vessel, and one or more paddles adapted to move within the vessel, such that the paddle can agitate the biological material in the vessel and create a fluid bed. The system also includes a cold trap assembly in fluid communication with the vessel; and a vacuum pump in fluid communication with the vessel and the cold trap assembly, such that the vacuum pump can create a vacuum in the vessel by drawing vapor through the cold trap assembly.
