Abstract: A chain conveyor device for material handling comprising: an endless chain (12) comprising a series of chain links (20), wherein adjacent chain links are connected to each other at a connection location; and a first flight member (30) located on a first lateral side of a chain link (20) and having a first reinforcing member (40) extending into or along the body of the first flight member (30), the first reinforcing member (40) further extending away from the first flight member (30), through the chain link (20) and into or along the body of a second flight member (32) located on a second opposite lateral side of the chain link

Abstract: Cross-linkable soy protein compositions and emulsified meat products including cross-linked soy protein compositions prepared from the cross-linkable soy protein compositions are disclosed. Specifically, the cross-linkable soy protein compositions comprise a soy protein product and a cross-linking compound. Once cross-linked, the cross-linkable soy protein compositions form cross-linked soy protein compositions that are suitable for use in cooked emulsified meat products.
