Abstract: A clothes dryer has a heat source, preferably a heat pump, a rotating drum, and means to generate flow of air from the heat source to an inlet in the drum. At least two outlets are separated from each other in the drum to enable higher air flow rates without increase in pressure drop, resulting in reduced drying time.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for accurately dispensing a powder such as powdered infant formula into a container, and pasteurizing and reconstituting the powdered formula while completely mixing the formula in the container. The apparatus includes a hopper assembly for storing powder, a dosing assembly for measuring and dispensing powder from a receptacle into the container, a dilution assembly and a mixing assembly for obtaining accurately and completely mixed formula from the dispensed powder. The hopper is shaped to promote powder bridging, and the resulting powder bridge is used in combination with the dosing assembly to provide a predetermined amount of powder using a single mechanical valve that is isolated from the powder. The mixing assembly mixes the contents of the container while holding the bottle at a fixed angle relative to the vertical. A method of providing pasteurized infant formula from an infant formula powder is also disclosed.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于将粉末状婴儿配方粉末精确地分配到容器中的设备，并且在将配方完全混合在容器中的同时将粉末配方巴氏消毒和重新配制。 该装置包括用于储存粉末的料斗组件，用于将粉末从容器测量和分配到容器中的计量组件，稀释组件和混合组件，用于从分配的粉末获得准确和完全混合的配方。 料斗被成形为促进粉末桥接，并且将所得到的粉末桥与配量组合物组合使用，以使用与粉末分离的单个机械阀来提供预定量的粉末。 混合组件在将瓶子相对于垂直方向保持固定角度的同时混合容器的内容物。 还公开了一种从婴儿配方粉末中提供巴氏杀菌婴儿配方奶粉的方法。
