  • Patent number: 8920296
    Abstract: A forged roll for use, inter alia, in the cold rolling industry and a method of producing a forged roll as described. The roll has a steel composition, by weight, with 0.8 to less than 1% C, 0.2 to 0.5% Mn, 0.2 to 2.0% Si, 7.0 to 13.0% Cr, 0.6 to 1.6% Mo, more than 1.0 to 3.0% V, the remainder being Fe and impurities. The steel is tempered martensite with retained austenite at less than 5% per volume with eutectic carbides of less than 5% by volume, a hardness between 780-840 HV, and internal compressive stresses of between ?300 to ?500 MPa.

  • Publication number: 20070190220
    Abstract: A method for preparing a dairy product in a production line, includes a step of continuously injecting at least one sterol and/or stanol ester through the production line at a predetermined temperature T1 no lower than the melting point of the ester, and particularly at a temperature of 35-80° C., and into a dairy composition at a predetermined temperature T2 no lower than the temperature T1, which composition consists of an initial emulsifier-free milk-based composition containing milk proteins, to give a mixture, wherein the step of injecting at least one sterol and/or stanol ester is carried out before a step of homogenizing the mixture.
