  • Patent number: 6861085
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing a storage-stable brown stock from meat extract and vegetable juice and other customary additives. In a first reaction, a liquid mixture having a solids content of 65-85%, preferably 75-80% by weight, of meat extract, gelatin and vegetable concentrate with or without other customary additives is allowed to react at a temperature around boiling point, preferably 90-100° C., for 3-20 minutes, preferably 5-15 minutes. In a cooking step, a soup stock is added to the product of the prior reaction and, after dilution to a solids content of 10-45% by weight, preferably 15-35% by weight, the mixture is cooked for 40-180 minutes, preferably 50-80 minutes, at a temperature around boiling point, preferably 90-100° C. The product is concentrated to a solids content of at least 60% by weight, preferably 70% or more. The end product can be dried to give a pulverant dry product.

  • Patent number: 5035843
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing, by means of working, mixing and homogenizing, castable explosive substances of high viscosity containing crystalline and/or particulate explosives and, if appropriate, other action-enhancing additives and such small quantities of binder and other viscosity-reducing agents that the mixture in the unworked state virtually feels like and behaves like a dry powder. In order to achieve the desired working, mixing and homogenizing, use is made of an arrangement which is known per se.

  • Patent number: 4485718
    Abstract: A method and a device for the purpose of de-icing those covers and other surfaces of limited size which can be subjected to severe icing and which it may be necessary to make ice-free at very short notice. Examples of the types of surfaces intended are protective doors for ship-borne missiles and torpedo tubes, emergency exit doors, and helicopter landing platforms etc. These surfaces are de-iced by an interior igniting primed tubular power charge which in the case of doors is placed directly in a groove along edges which the door seals against the surrounding door frame or another mating door, and in the case of other types of surfaces is placed in accordance with a pattern intended for that particular surface. The tubular powder charge is placed in an open groove in the relevant surface which faces in the same direction as it is desired that the ice should be flaked loose.
