Patent number: 6171607Abstract: The present invention is a unique process and apparatus for making a new matrix material called a shearform matrix which results in transformation of the morphology of a feedstock. The process is characterized by increasing the temperature of a nonsolubilized feedstock carrier to a point where it will undergo internal flow, followed by upwardly ejecting a stream of the feedstock and then subjecting it to disruptive fluid shear force which separates it into separate parts or masses which have a transformed morphology. The shearform matrix may include other ingredients such as oleaginous material and actives.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1998Date of Patent: January 9, 2001Assignee: Fuisz Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Richard C. Fuisz, Claude Bayard, Beuford A. Bogue, Eric H. Mathews, Supapong Siris

Patent number: 6116880Abstract: A spinner head provides for the production of melt-spun product. The spinner head includes a base and a cover spaced from the base. A plurality of discrete spaced apart elongate heating elements are positioned between the base and the cover and define a chamber for accommodating feedstock material therein. An elongate generally annular housing having plural circumferentially spaced cylindrical passages extending therethrough is positionable over the heating elements. The housing defines a plurality of circumferentially spaced fins projecting radially inward. Each of the fins have tapered sidewalls which generally converge as the fin extends radially inward. The sidewalls of adjacent fins cooperate to define longitudinal radially-directed slots between the cylindrical passages so as to permit passage of the feedstock material therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1998Date of Patent: September 12, 2000Assignee: Fuisz Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Beuford A.

Patent number: 5520859Abstract: A material processing apparatus and method for flash flow processing by melt spinning. The invention includes a feed rate controller in combination with a spinner head assembly including a spinner head with a continuous perimeter for providing heat and centrifugal force to a material being processed.
