Abstract: A demolding device and process are provided for continuously removing confectionaries, such as jelly candies, from a flexible mold. The demolding device contains a drive roller for applying pressure to the mold, a plurality of angled gussets for positioning the mold during confectionary extraction, and a plurality of agitators for removing the confectionaries from the mold cavities. The resulting device and process can facilitate the efficient and safe removal of confectionaries from flexible elastomeric molds.

Abstract: A closing system for a bag. The closing system comprises a first plate and a second plate. The closing system further comprises a plurality of constriction rods extending between the first plate and the second plate. The constriction rods present a constriction area configured to receive a portion of the bag. Each of the first plate and the second plate is configured to rotate. Rotation of the plates is configured to shift the constriction rods so as to reduce a size of the constriction area.

Abstract: A filter cartridge for dust collection systems is provided that comprises a plurality of tubular filter members. More particularly, the filter cartridges comprise: (a) a first support structure comprising a plurality of apertures; (b) a second support structure; and (c) a plurality of tubular-shaped filter members disposed between the first support structure and the second support structure. The apertures within the first support structure are designed to enhance the Venturi effect within the tubular-shaped members, thereby forming a filter cartridge that may operate at lower pressure drops and flow velocities.
