  • Publication number: 20250002418
    Abstract: A method for applying a surface treatment to a plugged honeycomb body comprising porous wall includes: mixing particles of an inorganic material with a liquid vehicle and a binder material to form a liquid-particulate-binder stream; mixing the liquid-particulate-binder stream with an atomizing gas, directing the liquid-particulate-binder stream into an atomizing nozzle thereby atomizing the particles into liquid-particulate-binder droplets comprised of the liquid vehicle, he binder material, and the particles; conveying the droplets toward the plugged honeycomb body by a gaseous carrier stream, wherein the gaseous carrier stream comprises a carrier gas and the atomizing gas; evaporating substantially all of the liquid vehicle from the droplets to form agglomerates comprised of the particles and the binder material; depositing the agglomerates onto the porous walls of the plugged honeycomb body; wherein the deposited agglomerates are disposed on, or in, or both on and in, the porous walls.

  • Patent number: 12178161
    Abstract: A harvester for infield collection of substantially whole cane comprising a drive unit, a removable billet thrower and chute and a feed and billeter module being a two row unit which may be inserted under the chassis and secured by pivot couplings to corresponding mounts. The harvester collects whole cane and throws billeted cane along with trash into an infield transporter which then transports this to a centralised trash separator. Single row modules align single row feed and billeting units may pivot independently of each other. Assemblies are arranged to float and follow the ground surface over which the harvester moves and to this end each of the assemblies is biased into floating contact with the ground by reason of one or more spring assemblies.

  • Patent number: 11980895
    Abstract: A maceration conveyor assembly feeding into a first mill of a milling tandem, where output from the mill is delivered onto another conveyor and carried to the next mill in the tandem. Low pol maceration liquid is returned to the conveyor via return lines to respective distribution weirs. Weirs include overflows which extend across the conveyor. The conveyor assembly includes an inlet end and an outlet end all supported on a supporting framework so that the assembly is inclined from the inlet end to the outlet end. The frame supports respective side walls of a conveyor trough between which travels an endless plate conveyor. The endless plate conveyor comprises interconnected perforated plates adapted to pivot relative to each other in chain like fashion so that the endless plate conveyor effectively functions as a belt conveyor having rigid plates interconnected in pivotal fashion.

  • Publication number: 20230399709
    Abstract: A cane shredder input is optimized for any given load condition comprising a feeder upstream of the shredder to controllably deliver cane downstream from the feeder in order to reduce shredder drive load fluctuations. A “kicker” (26) with curved end knives gives full coverage across the width of the cane carrier, and is driven clockwise at about 175 rpm. A magnetic shredder and milling tandem protector pulls metal out of the cane above a backward inclined chute (27). The chute has a viewing window (28) and a cane height sensor (29). The backward directed chute aids in cane striking its front wall (30) and the working face of the chute height control device. A tooth feeder shredder rotor (31) is located in a shredder housing (32). The shredder housing (32) is a convolute in configuration. Sitting directly atop the shredder housing (32) is a tooth feeder (33), in this case having tooth feeder wheels (34) and (35).

  • Publication number: 20230339690
    Abstract: A slotted conveyor floor 16 in milling tandem, slots 34 extend across the direction of liquid flow shown by arrow 35 which is against the flow of fibre. The slots are cut through the material of floor 16 on the vertical as depicted by centre-line 35 taken relative to the inclination of floor 16. Thus the centre-line corresponds to gravity feed for the liquid. Rather than being directly across the floor 16, the slots are inclined in the direction of flow. The fibre is in the opposite flow relation to the liquid, in this example, the slots are across the line of the fibre and are about 6 mm wide and 180 mm long with about 60 mm spacing. Adjacent lines of slots are set interdigital in the direction of travel. This arrangement minimises fibre being trapped in the slots as the fibre is being carried by the rakes up the floor.
