Method To Prolong Lifetime Of Diaphragm Pump
US Patent:
2009012, May 14, 2009
Filed:
Nov 8, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/937415
Inventors:
Adam M. Koller - Minneapolis MN, US
Masaaki Kawase - Edina MN, US
Masaaki Kawase - Edina MN, US
Assignee:
TETRA LAVAL HOLDINGS & FINANCE, S.A. - Pully
International Classification:
F04B 43/02
US Classification:
417 53
Abstract:
A method for operating a diaphragm-type piston pump prolongs the life of the diaphragm. A pump has a predetermined pump volume defined by a length of a piston stroke. The pump having a variable drive. The method includes drawing a first volume of liquid into the pump through a first portion of the piston stroke. The first volume of liquid is less than the pump volume. The first volume of liquid is expelled from the pump through a reverse motion through the first portion of the piston stroke. A second volume of liquid is drawn into the pump through a second portion of the piston stroke. The second volume of liquid is less than the pump volume. The second volume of liquid is expelled from the pump through a reverse motion through the second portion of the piston stroke. At least portions of the first and second portions of the piston stroke are different from one another.
High Speed Servo Laner
US Patent:
2014006, Mar 6, 2014
Filed:

Assignee:
Delkor Systems, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
B65G 47/46
US Classification:
198367
Abstract:
A high speed servo laner apparatus and system includes an entrance to the laner which receives products from an upstream processing line. A pivoting guide has a distal end attached to the entrance and a proximal end attached to a movable portion. At least one pacing screw is also attached to the moveable portion. The at least one pacing screw includes a thread, which has a pitch and radius configured to accommodate passage of a unit of product between two axially adjacent portions of the thread.
Bulk Product Diverter
US Patent:
2012032, Dec 27, 2012
Filed:
Jun 22, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/530475
Inventors:
Adam Koller - Minneapolis MN, US
Scott Thompson - White Bear Lake MN, US
Scott Thompson - White Bear Lake MN, US
Assignee:
DELKOR SYSTEMS, INC. - Circle Pines MN
International Classification:
B65G 47/46, B65G 19/14
US Classification:
198367, 198716
Abstract:
A bulk product diverter and system for separating bulk product units into multiple product streams includes a unique conveyor assembly. The conveyor has a plurality of flights wherein the adjacent flights define buckets into which groups of bulk product units are placed. The conveyor conveys each bucket in a downstream direction along a horizontal path, then along a vertical path, then around a turn of approximately 150 degrees. A diverter fence is selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. In the open position the path defines a first gate through which acceptable product units are passed. In the closed position the product units continue around the turn to pass through a second gate.
