Abstract: A tubular insert is inserted in a tubular P-Trap which comprises a straight inlet section, a U-Bend trap section, and a straight outlet section. The insert has an inner diameter, an outer diameter, and a length such that the length is greater than an inner diameter of the P-Trap. Liquid flow is allowed to pass through the insert but oversized objects, having a maximum size greater than the insert inner diameter of the insert, are prevented from flowing through it. A retractor is used to retract the insert along with the oversized object from the inlet section of the P-Trap.

Abstract: Improved coatings and methods for manufacturing coated confectionary or chewing gum products are provided. Polyol coatings can be formed while polyols are in a molten state. Trehalose can also be used to form coatings on a confection or chewing gum by applying the trehalose while in a molten state.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for attachment to pipe handling arm, comprising a clamp for gripping a tubular and a guide for aligning said tubular with another tubular prior to connection thereof, characterized in that said clamp and said guide are movable relative to each other in a direction longitudinal of the tubular, the arrangement being such that said tubular can be brought closer to said another tubular in a direction longitudinal of the tubular.
