Abstract: A reciprocating assembly for applying vapor steam to the surface of a multi-width conveyor belt, having a frame to support the belt, to clean and sanitize the conveyor belt, includes, a housing having two ends, with the housing enclosing an endless chain member positioned within the housing and powered by a motor member, with the chain member having a cam member extending outwardly from the endless chain, a reciprocating block member supports a nozzle, with the block member having a cam guide notch structurally arranged to be engaged by the cam member extending from the endless chain member. The housing ends are engageable with vertical housing supports to mount the assembly to the conveyor belt frame to predeterminely control the reciprocating movement of the nozzle between the edges of the conveyor belt.

Abstract: A composition and method for producing hydrophilic beads for use in topical formulations is described as generally including gellan gum, salts of divalent cations and water. Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or otherwise optionally modified to realize improved production and/or use of hydrophilic beads to achieve a particular desired purpose. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention generally provide hydrophilic beads that may be comixed with cosmetic, cosmeceutical and/or topical preparations for surface abrasion or as carriers for the delivery of other compounds; such as, aloe vera, ascorbic acid, active agents, and/or the like.

Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods for delivery of bio-available compounds in topical preparations generally include anhydrous carrier particles adapted to carry bio-available compounds. The carrier particles may be admixed with anhydrous formulation material that is suitably adapted to suspend and/or separate the carrier particles. Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or otherwise optionally modified to realize improved production and/or use of carrier particles that may be employed to deliver bio-available compounds in order to achieve a desired purpose. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention generally provide anhydrous carrier particles that may be mixed with substantially anhydrous topical preparations.
