Abstract: A blower housing including a first and second rotor assembly such that the first rotor assembly includes a first rotor and a first shaft and the second rotor assembly includes a second rotor and a second shaft. The first and second rotors each have a plurality of lobes. Each first and second rotor includes an axial sealing extension that can be constructed to extend axially into the shaft opening. The axial sealing extension can include a radially outwardly facing sealing surface that opposes a radially inwardly facing sealing surface defined within the shaft opening. The radially outwardly facing sealing surface and the radially inwardly facing sealing surface can be configured to cooperate to form a radial sealing interface that extends around an axis. The radial sealing interface can include a radial seal clearance defined between the radially outwardly facing sealing surface and the radially inwardly facing sealing surface.

Abstract: An improved extracted corn comprising from about 0.6 to about 2.8 percent by weight (on an anhydrous basis). The composition has a nutritional profile advantageous for use as an animal feed ingredient. Also provided are processes for the preparation of the extracted corn composition; feed rations incorporating the extracted corn composition; and methods for the preparation of such feed rations.

Abstract: Corn oil is extracted from corn to form a corn meal. Processing the corn grain to obtain the oil, meal, and other product streams generally includes dividing the corn kernel by fractionating to create a higher oil fraction and a lower oil fraction, forming a solvent extractable structure from the higher oil fraction, and extracting the oil from the higher oil fraction. The extracted corn oil is useful for making nutritionally enhanced edible oil or cooking oil, lubricants, biodiesel, fuel, cosmetics and oil-based or oil-containing chemical products. The extracted corn meal is useful for making enhanced animal feed rations, snack food, blended food products, cosmetics, and fermentation broth additive. The lower oil fraction is useful for one or more processes such as fermentation, wet-milling, animal feed production, sweetener production, and starch production, making enhanced animal feed rations, snack food, blended food products, and cosmetics.

Abstract: An improved extracted corn composition having an oil concentration of less than about 1.7 wt % (on an anhydrous basis) and containing high concentrations of protein and essential amino acids is provided. The composition has a nutritional profile advantageous for use as an animal feed ingredient. Also provided are processes for the preparation of the extracted corn composition; feed rations incorporating the extracted corn composition; and methods for the preparation of such feed rations.
