Abstract: The invention relates to a device for cleanly and conveniently refilling a flowable substance in a dispensing device which comprises a container assembly of a container containing a flowable substance; a container holding assembly attached to the container which includes an opening mechanism for securing the opening of the container when the container holding assembly is held in a stable delivery position on a reservoir. An unlatching mechanism is also provided to release the container holding assembly from the reservoir in a convenient way. The invention also relates to the combination of such a container assembly and a reservoir assembly which is especially adapted for securely receiving the container assembly.

Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a viscous fluid food product from a pouch. The dispenser includes a housing configured and dimensioned for receiving the pouch. The pouch includes a food in the form of a viscous fluid therein. The pouch has first and second ends, a sidewall that can be arranged to form first and second opposed surfaces and an outlet. The dispenser incorporates an assembly that includes a roller for pressing the pouch so as to urge the viscous fluid food product toward the outlet. To do this, the roller has a pressing surface disposable in a position adjacent the first surface of the pouch and a planar surface disposed adjacent the second surface of the pouch. The dispenser also includes a closure assembly arranged for engagement with the outlet for closing same. This assembly is also capable of opening the outlet so as to cause the roller to move along the pouch surface toward the outlet by gravity for expelling the viscous fluid food product through the outlet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for rapidly, efficiently heating and dispensing a flowable food product, using a device preferably of limited footprint whereby removable cassettes are provided for receiving a food-containing package. The cassettes at least include a direct conduction surface and an insulating coverage that substantially reduces radiant heat loss outside the cassettes. Preferably, there is provided peristaltic pumps, each one being adapted to engage a discharge tube of the food pouch wherein the pumps have their rotor plane oriented in alignment or parallel to the axial plane of the cassettes. Cassettes are heated by low power density generating heating members, such as a thin film heater or equivalent.

Abstract: The residual chlorine content of a polyolefin-substituted carboxylic acylating agent formed by a chlorine-assisted reaction of a polyolefin and an &agr;,&bgr;-unsaturated carboxylic reactant can be reduced by heating the polyolefin-substituted carboxylic acylating agent having a residual chlorine content in the presence of an &agr;,&bgr;-unsaturated carboxylic reactant, optionally in the further presence of a sulfonic acid. Residual chlorine content can be further reduced by using, in the reaction of the polyolefin &agr;,&bgr;-unsaturated carboxylic reactant, a high speed mixer provided with a dual pitch blade.
