  • Patent number: 10578527
    Abstract: A test system comprising a heating device for heating content comprising a mixture of a first and a second product, said device comprising a test container suitable for receiving the content, a receiving container suitable for receiving the test container, a coil comprising induction turns, and a current source suitable for supplying current to the induction turns. The heating device is such that the induction turns are attached to the receiving container and extend helically concentrically around the receiving container. The test system further comprises an arm for mixing the content of the test container and a mechanism for guiding the arm. A method for implementing such a test system.

  • Patent number: 10010837
    Abstract: Device for shaking, within a rigid container, a powder and liquid, for conducting a test on the shaken content, includes: a frame; a first plate assembled thereto; a second plate assembled indirectly to the frame, arranged close to the first plate and movable relative to the frame and first plate; and a drive unit for moving the second plate relative to the frame and first plate. The container is carried by the second plate and is movably mounted relative thereto; the first plate includes a stop fixedly mounted on the first plate; and the second plate is moved relative to the first plate by the drive unit, in an alternating and periodic translational and/or rotational motion between a proximal position and a distal position, to move the container relative to the second plate and cause a series of impacts between the container and the stop to achieve a non-periodic shaking.

  • Patent number: 9067210
    Abstract: A process for simplified production of a reference milling for determining the milling quality of wheat, includes: a first crushing of a wheat sample; a first sieving of the crushed product into three distinct levels of particle size; a second crushing of oversize particles resulting from the first crushing; a second sieving of the oversize particles thus crushed; a mixing of coarse semolina resulting from the sievings; a third crushing of the mixture of the coarse semolina; a third sieving of the mixture of the coarse semolina thus crushed into two distinct levels of particle size; a mixing of fine semolina resulting from each of the three sievings; a fourth crushing of the mixture of fine semolina; a fourth sieving of the mixture of the fine semolina thus crushed into a single level of particle size; a mixing of the flours resulting from sievings, the mixture constituting the desired milling.

  • Publication number: 20150005150
    Abstract: Device for shaking and centrifuging a content including a material in the pulverulent state and a liquid product in a rigid container in preparation for a test on the mixed content, where the container has a capacity less than one liter and suited to a quantity of content specific for the test to be done, including a frame, a plate, a first drive unit and a second drive unit suited for displacing the plate relative to the frame. The first drive unit is suited for displacing the plate relative to the frame with an alternating movement along a shaking direction in order to shake the container, and the second drive unit is suited for displacing the plate relative to the frame according to a rotational movement around a centrifuging axis, such that the content of the container is centrifuged when the plate is rotated around the centrifuging axis.
