摘要:
A chiller for reducing the temperature of previously eviscerated whole birds and the like, includes a tank having a bird outlet end, a bird inlet end, an inlet end plate, an outlet end plate, and a water reservoir between the ends. The poultry chiller also includes water circulation means for introducing water into the reservoir at the bird outlet end of the tank, draining water at the bird inlet end of the tank, and forming a movement of water generally from the bird outlet end toward the bird inlet end of the tank. The chiller further includes a motive device for urging the birds from the bird inlet end to the bird outlet end of the tank, the motive device being in driven relationship with a power means. A transverse wall having a lower portion, a central portion, and a top edge, is disposed at the bird inlet end of the tank substantially parallel to the inlet end plate such that a sump is formed between the lower portion of the transverse wall and the inlet end plate.

Flexible conveyor belt of the type which can be assembled to form an endless loop, a part of which forms a number of layers stacked one on another. The belt (3) is constructed from mutually articulatable links which each comprise at least two transverse rods (13) which, at each side edge of the belt, bear support members (12) projecting upwardly from the plane of the belt, which are intended to support a belt layer lying above. The links are interconnected so that they can be displaced relative to one another along at least one side edge of the belt. The support members (12) are connected to the ends of the transverse rods (13) in the belt (3) or constitute extensions of these rods and comprise a stirrup-shaped support portion which projects upwardly from the plane of the belt and interconnects the rods (13) in an associated link of the belt. The invention also relates to a climate chamber comprising a belt according to the above, and a method for treating products in such a climate chamber.

A food storage system mounted in a fresh food compartment of a refrigerator includes an enclosure defined by inner and outer housings, as well as a food receptacle slidably positioned in the inner housing. The inner and outer housings are spaced so as to define a zone therebetween within which air is forced to flow in order to cool the contents of the receptacle. Inlet vents are provided in the inner housing to permit a portion of the cooling air to flow directly into the food receptacle, while the remainder of the air flow is directed about the inner housing for indirect cooling of the contents in the food receptacle.
摘要:
A horizontal freezer comprising a housing including an upper freezing chamber and a freezing chamber, the upper freezing chamber and lower freezing chamber being separated by a plate, the upper freezing chamber having a top entrance and the lower freezing chamber having a side entrance; a cover connected to the top of the housing for closing the top entrance of the upper freezing chamber; a drawer being mounted in the lower freezing chamber by means of a sliding support assembly; an evaporator, at least part of which is embedded in said housing, the housing includes an upper front panel, back panel and two opposite side panels, with the upper front panel connected to the two opposite side panels. The sliding support assembly includes an inner sliding support and an outer sliding support.

An apparatus for cooling material, such as a PVC compound, includes a chamber having an inner surface and an inner space configured for receiving material to be cooled. A rotatable shaft extends through the chamber inner space, and is operable for being rotated by a motor. At least one mixing tool is coupled to the shaft to rotate with the shaft, and mix the material while rotating around the inner surface of the chamber so the material contacts the inner surface to be cooled thereby. In one embodiment, the mixing tool includes a flexible blade configured for contacting the chamber inner surface and for sweeping across a portion of the inner surface to dislodge an amount of material from the surface portion. Another embodiment utilizes an air knife to dislodge material from the inner chamber surface. The motor is operable for rotating the shaft at a speed in the range of 150 to 250 rpm to sweep the material from the inner surface.
摘要:
A transport assembly for a cryogenic processor having an elongated housing forming a channel for the delivery of a frozen product from an intake end to a discharge end. The system includes a screw-type conveyor disposed within the elongated housing for movement of the frozen product from the intake end to the discharge end. An indirect drive motor assembly is provided and configured to rotate the screw-type conveyor. A nozzle assembly is provided for attachment to the transport assembly at the discharge end, the nozzle assembly being configured to inject wash and rinse solutions into the elongated housing. In addition, a drain line is disposed near the intake end of the elongated housing. The drain line facilitates a clean in place procedure.
摘要:
An apparatus for batch coating liquid onto core pieces of particulate matter said apparatus having a processing mode and a discharge mode, and comprising a rotatable drum having a substantially right cylindrical shape, a horizontally disposed longitudinal axis, an interior surface, an exterior surface, a loading end and a discharge end, a loading opening at said loading end and a discharge opening at said discharge end, and farther having a frame for supporting said drum, drive means for rotating said drum about its longitudinal axis in a processing direction and oppositely in a discharge direction, at least one nozzle for introducing a spray pattern of liquid or gas into the drum, and a plurality of vanes affixed to the interior surface of said drum, said vanes configured to move the core pieces toward the loading end of said drum during processing and to produce a continuous cascade of core pieces over said vanes and into the spray pattern.
