Patent number: 11805794Abstract: A high throughput process for delivering a semi-firm gel for supplying vaccines, nutritive substances and other similar material to animals, such as poultry chicks. The material is delivered in a non-absorbent semi-firm gel that is easily consumable which results in higher material uptake. The semi-firm gel is formed by interactions occurring between a solution containing an alginic acid crosslinking agent with a gel containing alginic acid.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: CLEARH2O, INC.Inventors: Jay Palmer, Paul Dioli

Publication number: 20230249146Abstract: A method of creating hydrocolloid beads includes forcing a hydrocolloid gel suspension through a plurality of nozzles, wherefrom the hydrocolloid gel forms into a plurality of gel drops and fall into a reactant bath. The drops are exposed to the reactant bath for a predetermined period of time, wherein the drops form firm or semi-firm beads as they remain in the reactant bath. The firm or semi-firm beads are removed from the reactant bath, rinsed, and dried.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Jay Palmer, Paul Dioli

Patent number: 11596913Abstract: Methods of high throughput hydrocolloid bead production and related apparatuses are described herein. In the disclosed methods, drops of a hydrocolloid gel suspension are dropped into a reactant bath. The drops of hydrocolloid gel are exposed to the reactant bath for a predetermined period of time, during which the drops form firm or semi-firm beads. The beads are then removed from the reactant bath. The resulting hydrocolloid beads are advantageously resistant to syneresis and can provide high nutritional and water content.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: ClearH2O, Inc.Inventors: Jay Palmer, Paul Dioli
