Pneumatic Seasoning System
US Patent:
7827929, Nov 9, 2010
Filed:
Feb 23, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/678195
Inventors:
Wayne Garrison - McKinney TX, US
Ross D. Samuels - Coppell TX, US

Assignee:
Frito-Lay North America, Inc. - Plano TX
International Classification:
B05C 19/04, B05D 1/12
US Classification:
118 16, 118 19, 118 24, 118308, 118310, 118313, 239290, 99494
Abstract:
A pneumatic seasoning system and method utilizing a rotating drum for seasoning, a funnel-fed pneumatic eductor, line splitters, and a plurality of specially-designed swirl-inducing nozzle spools for inducing a broad and even seasoning plume. In a preferred embodiment, a pneumatic seasoning system transports seasoning from a seasoning hopper to food items within a rotating drum using a combination of an eductor and four in-line vacuum generators, which vacuum generators operate on compressed air. Each vacuum generator comprises a distributing nozzle roughly shaped like a collared spool, wherein compressed air is supplied to the annular region defined between the spool and its collar, and said compressed air exits through swirl ports distributed about the circumference of the spool exit. Each swirl port preferably has a pitch angle of 15° and a yaw angle of 15°.

International Classification:
A47J 37/12
US Classification:
426438, 99404
Abstract:
An apparatus for lipophilically conditioning potato slices, the apparatus comprising an elongate tank for containing a reservoir of oil, the tank having an upstream end and a downstream end, an elongate longitudinal conveyor disposed in the tank, the conveyor being adapted to pass products through the reservoir of oil from the upstream end to the downstream end, the conveyor defining therealong a plurality of compartments for containing respective groups of products during passage from the upstream end to the downstream end, and at least one oil jet located on the tank for causing turbulent flow in the reservoir of oil.

International Classification:
B61B 7/00, B61B 7/06
US Classification:
104 87, 104112
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a diverter system to allow a line inspection robot to traverse an object. The diverter system includes a first diverter attached to a shield wire, a second diverter attached to the shield wire at a position spaced from the first diverter, and a bridge having a first end connected to the first diverter and a second end connected to the second diverter. The first diverter disengages the robot from the shield wire and onto the bridge and the second diverter disengages the robot from the bridge and onto the shield wire to allow the robot to traverse the object.
