  • Patent number: 6004604
    Abstract: A chlorine dioxide solution is sprayed onto produce that includes at least one contaminant which can be debris, soil, fungus and/or organic chemicals. Sprayers are used to spray the chloride dioxide solution on the produce to wash the contaminant from the produce. The produce may be placed on a conveyor and the conveyor may be used to move the produce under the sprayers while the sprayers are used to spray chlorine dioxide solution onto the produce. The conveyor may include rotating brushes that come in contact with the produce, such that the brushes that brush the produce and mechanically remove debris and residue from the produce. Rinsing sprayers may be provided over the conveying path downstream of the sprayer that sprays the chlorine dioxide solution on the produce. The rinsing sprayers may be used to spray the produce with potable rinse water.

  • Patent number: 3969828
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for removing excess coating material from chain link fabric during the manufacture of the fabric. A gang of sprocket members are arranged side-by-side on a shaft for rotation about the shaft axis. Each of the sprocket members includes a plurality of radially outwardly extending teeth having notches formed along the length thereof. Chain link fabric is passed over the gang of sprockets such that the teeth engage through respective openings formed by the wire or other members of the fabric. When the fabric is removed from the sprockets, the notches in the teeth cause intermittent hitching and release of the fabric which vibrates the fabric to remove excess molten coated material from the fabric. The gang of sprockets is arranged intermediate a coating tank and a cooling tank for the chain link fabric such that the coating material is in the molten state when it passes over the sprockets.
