Abstract:
This patent discloses a method and apparatus for treating material such as grain, manure, alfalfa, lightweight aggregate, etc. Hot air circulates throughout the entire system. Heat is first added where desired to the product in a preheater. Additional heat is then added in a heater section where the material is further heated and material such as grain may be popped if desired. The grain may then be passed through conventional rollers.
Abstract:
Foam is generated by mixing water, foam material, and compressed air under pressure. The foam is released from a nozzle by a valve at the nozzle, resulting in better control and a more constant product. One method of distribution of the foam is to disperse it in an airblast to be subsequently carried by the wind and spread for agricultural purposes.
