Publication number: 20210353105Abstract: An aerator mixing rod includes a body having a first and second opposite ends and an outer surface extending between the ends. The body defines a longitudinal axis extending through the ends. The aerator mixing rod also includes teeth extending radially outward from the outer surface, with a first row of teeth and a second row of teeth spaced from the first row along the longitudinal axis. A first passageway is formed between adjacent teeth of the first row, and a second passageway is formed between adjacent teeth of the second row. The first passageway is at least partially misaligned with the second passageway in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis such that the first passageway and the second passageway form a tortuous path for fluid flowing along the outer surface of the body. The aerator mixing rod is formed from an injection-moldable material by an injection molding process.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Shawn Campbell, Ralf Reiser, Rakshitha Doddanaari Shamakumar, Alexander Kaiser

Patent number: 8628815Abstract: Methods for producing meat analog as well as formulations are disclosed. The novel production method uses a device designed to texturize the product while providing superior heat transfer for cooking. The device includes a helical compression conveyer with internal and external heating sources that delivers a high ratio of surface area for heat transfer to product volume. This results in the device being capable of heating of the emulsion volume as it is moved from the inlet to the outlet of the device to form a meat analog within the device in which the meat analog is formed in multiple segments to result in the meat analog having a defined surface texture.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2008Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: Mars, Inc.Inventors: Allan A. Torney, Diana L. Ortiz Maldonado, Alexandre C. Mendes, Emine Unlu, Ralf Reiser, Eyal Ben-Yoseph
