Publication number: 20200404855Abstract: A baling machine includes an accumulator chamber at least partially defined by a housing. The baling machine includes an infeed assembly that is configured to deliver material to an inlet of the accumulator chamber. The baling machine includes a lower rake assembly that is positioned within the accumulator chamber and is operable to move material toward an outlet of the accumulator chamber. The baling machine includes an upper conveyor rake that is movable within the accumulator chamber. The upper conveyor rake has a first end, a second end, and a range of motion between a raised position and a lowered position. The second end of the upper conveyor rake has a greater range of motion than the first end. Through the majority of the range of motion of the upper conveyor rake, the first end is positioned closer to the lower rake assembly than the second end.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2018Publication date: December 31, 2020Inventors: Oscar Frey, Orvie Knorr, Abraham Harder

Patent number: 5989887Abstract: The present invention provides the cloning and expression of purified and isolated DNA molecules, obtainable from fungi, which encode enzymes having arabinan-degrading activity. The present invention also provides DNA constructs containing these DNA molecules and methods for their enhanced expression in selected microbial host cells. The present invention further provides methods for the use of the thus-produced arabinan-degrading enzymes.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1997Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: DSM N.V.Inventors: Margaretha Van Heuvel, Janna Gardina Bakhuis, Yves Coutel, Abraham Harder, Leendert Hendrik De Graaff, Michel Johannes Anthonie Flipphi, Peter Van Der Veen, Jacob Visser, Peter Michael Andreoli

Patent number: 5405764Abstract: Immobilized water-insoluble biocatalysts in particulate form comprise living cells, particularly yeast, dispersed in a cross-linked gelling agent. An enzyme, particularly amyloglucosidase, may be co-immobilized in the particles. These particles are prepared by suspending the living cells in an aqueous solution of a gelling agent, dispersing this suspension in a water immiscible organic liquid to form a suspension in the liquid of aqueous particles comprising the living cells and gelling agent, gelling the gel and cross-linking the gelling agent. It is found that when living cells such as microbial cells and especially yeast are immobilized in this way, that surprisingly, not only is their viability retained, but the ability of yeast cells to produce ethanol under continuous fermentation conditions is significantly improved. Specific strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, suitable for immobilization in this way, are described.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1994Date of Patent: April 11, 1995Assignee: Gist-Brocades N.V.Inventors: Abraham Harder, Ben R. DeHaan, Johannes B. Van der Plaat, Marsha Cummings

Patent number: 5358864Abstract: Methods and expression constructs are provided for the cloning and overexpression of xylanases of fungai origin in a selected microbial host cell. Xylanases of fungal origin generally have lower pH optima and remain stable over a broader pH range than do xylanases of bacterial origin. The present invention provides for the high level production of fungal xylanases which are may be used in a variety of industrial applications requiring xylanase activity at a low pH.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1992Date of Patent: October 25, 1994Assignee: Gist-Brocades, N.V.Inventors: Henriette C. van den Broeck, Leendert H. de Graaff, Jan D.
