Publication number: 20240083607Abstract: An apparatus comprising a conveyor with a conveyor belt and a series of stacking towers spaced along the length of the conveyor belt and secured to the conveyor belt. Each of the stacking towers has a chamber adapted for receiving fragile goods. A drive gear is coupled to the conveyor belt for advancing the stacking tower with goods in the chamber to a baler, which is configured to place a mouth of one of the plurality of empty packages over the stacking tower with goods in the chamber. The conveyor is configured so that further advancement of the conveyor belt by the drive gear causes the stacking tower to tilt so that the goods slide into the package and the package slides off the stacking tower, in each case under the force of gravity. Method for packaging fragile goods using stacking towers is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Heat and Control, Inc.Inventors: Jhonatan Monroy Oropeza, Andrew Anthony Caridis, Leopoldo Zarate Andrade

Patent number: 11324240Abstract: A system for converting whole kernel corn into mesa within a brief period of time. A system including apparatus for removing the pericarp and stem from the kernels and residuals being ground into a flour of suitable particle sizes. This flour is combined with lime and water and mixed for 6-12 minutes reaching a terminal temperature of about 50 degrees Celsius or and wherein gelatization occurs, forming a masa. Further apparatus then fragments the masa into sizes for further processing.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2015Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Heat and Control, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Anthony Caridis, Arturo Lorenzana Guerrero, Ernesto Isam Arao Toyohara, Mario Lorenzana Saucedo, Sergio González Granados, Miguel Ängel Gómez Angulo, Jesús Adolfo Sandoval Ávila
