  • Publication number: 20240024915
    Abstract: A fluidized bed coating system for coating substrate particles with liquid and powder. The system includes a vessel having a particle separating partition that divides an internal chamber of the vessel into up-bed and down-bed regions. An upstanding spray nozzle within the particle separating partition for directing pressurized coating liquid upwardly into the up-bed region such that particles are liquid coated as they circulate through the up-bed and down-bed regions. A coating powder directing system is provided that includes a controller managed powder delivery manifold for directing coating powder and pressurized gas under the particle separating partition and below the discharge orifices of the spray nozzle for coating the liquid coated particles with a uniform thickness of coating powder as they are recirculated through the up-bed and down-bed regions.

  • Patent number: 8528751
    Abstract: A gift box includes a base compartment and a plurality of stacking compartments supported on a tubular sleeve. The sleeve forms a pivot axis for the stacking compartments such that the stacking compartments are independently rotatable about the pivot axis relative to the base compartment. The sleeve forms a compartment for a gift item, such as a bottle of wine, which may add rigidity to the pivot axis. The base compartment, stacking compartment, and sleeve may each be folded from a unitary sheet of recyclable material, such as corrugated fiberboard.
