Abstract:
A seed coating assembly (16) includes a housing (36) with a high-speed rotary coating atomizer (66) therein, and a relatively slow speed rotatable body (42) equipped with through-slots (44) located above the atomizer (66) in a location to divert and evenly spread incoming seeds prior to coating thereof. The body (42) is preferably a substantially circular disk mounted coaxially with the atomizer (66) at a distance of from about 1.5-10 inches above the atomizer (66).
Abstract:
A rice washing apparatus which can wash rice in a short time with a high degree of efficiency, and which can prevent occurrence of fragmentation of the rice, is composed of a rice washing tank formed of a cylindrical body, having a lower part in an inverted conical shape, and formed in its lower end with a rice discharge port, a water discharge pipe connected to a side of the lower part of the rice washing tank, a hollow valve rod adapted to be moved up and down in the rice washing tank, and provided in the lower part thereof with a rice discharge valve for opening and closing the rice discharge port, a hollow rotary shaft through which the valve rod is extended, and an agitating member 10 mounted to the rotary shaft. Water is fed into the valve rod through the upper part of the latter and flows down therein so as to suck air thereinto through air intake ports formed in the rotary shaft and the valve rod, and accordingly, the air and the water are mixed so as to produce bubbles which are then discharged into the lower part of the rice washing tank. Thus, the rice is washed by the water and the bubbles so as to enhance the effect of polishing of the rice, and to allow impurities such as rice bran to overflow from the rice washing tank with the use of the quality of the floatation of the impurities.
Abstract:
An anaerobic, pasteurizing conditioning system for treating matter such as whole and ground grain and minerals to increase the rate of conversion during digestion and thus the nutritional value thereof. The system comprises a direct fired steam generator adapted for producing treatment fluid comprising steam and non-condensible gases, the gases containing insufficient oxygen for substantial aerobic bacterial growth. The steam and oxygen deficient non-condensible gases are discharged into the vessel for counter-current flow relative to matter passing therethrough. The operation of the direct fired steam generator is controlled for producing a sufficiently large volume of oxygen deficient gases and steam for purging the matter of other gases flowing therewith and maintaining the deficient oxygen level in the non-condensible gases for creating an anaerobic condition. In this manner an improved feedstuff is provided wherein the starch components have first been gelatinized in a heated, anaerobic environment and thereafter fractionated to render the feedstuff more digestible.

Abstract:
An apparatus for washing cereals to wash them in a cereal washing tank by a jet water rotor. The invention includes collecting the water-cereal mix and removal of the heavier cereals from the mix which overflows a receiver to remove lighter weight wastes.
Abstract:
A METHOD AND APPARATUS OF DESOLVESTIZING PREVIOUSLY SOLVENT EXTRACTED MILLED RICE AND, IN CERTAIN EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION, DESOLVENTIZING OF THE BRAN REMOVED FROM THE RICE. THE METHOD AND APPARATUS CONTEMPLATES USING A DESOLVENTIZING GASEOUS MEDIUM COMPRISING INERT GAS OR THE MAJOR COMPONENT THEREOF WHEREIN THE GASEOUS MEDIUM IS CONTACTED WITH THE RICE WHEN AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE FROM ABOUT 100*F. TO ABOUT 150*F., WHEREBY THE SOLVENT IS VAPORIZED FROM THE RICE AT A RELATIVELY LOW TEMPERATURE, THEREBY PRESERVING THE QUALITY OF THE RICE. THE GASEOUS MEDIUM WITH THE VAPORIZED SOLVE ENTRAINED THEREIN IS SUBSEQUENTLY CONDENSED TO REMOVE THE SOLVENT THEREFROM AND THE MEDIUM IS SUBSEQUENTLY HEATED AND RECYCLED.

Abstract:
A feedstock granular substance (7) is fed into a cylindrical retention tube (3) provided with a multiplicity of retention parts (8) for retaining a granular substance (7) moving along the inner circumference thereof. In the state of having the feedstock granular substance (7) retained by the retention parts (8) of the retention tube (3), a grinding device (4) having multiple flexible long grinding materials (6) radially extending from the rotational axis extending along the axial center of the retention tube (3) is rotated to thereby realize rotation with the distal ends of the long grinding materials (6) brought into contact with the surface of the granular substance (7) and surface treats the granular substance (7). Thus, production of a surface-treated granular substance is attained.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of processing grain by raising the moisture content of the grain relative to a target level. As the grain is moved through a processing area, the moisture content and the mass flow of the grain are measured. Each measurement is converted to an electronic signal and the signals are fed to a programmable controller which blends the two signals and produces a single output control signal that is fed to a proportional control valve. The control valve acts responsive to the control signal to adjust the amount of moisture added to the grain at a wetting station. An additive such as a surfactant can be metered into the water supply.
