Abstract: A system composed of heating and vacuum elements for the purpose of removing water vapor from molasses or other high sugar concentrate substances. Alternatively, the system could be used to remove water vapor from any substance where water removal is desired. Typically, the system starts with a molasses or high sugar concentrate with a moisture content of up to 40 percent. After processing, the system produces a high sugar concentrate with a moisture content of less than 5 percent. The system uses a continuous flow vacuum evaporated process. In an alternative embodiment, a method of operating the system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A valve seat puller head assembly is comprised of seat puller head halves and springs. The seat puller head halves come together forming an opening. A pair of spring clips hold and secure the seat puller head halves together providing the outward force required to pre-position the tool (i.e., seat valve puller head assembly) in proper area for valve seat removal. In one embodiment, the valve seat puller head assembly further comprises an allthread having a tapered buttress engaged with the valve seat puller head via the opening of the valve seat puller head, eliminating thread clearance there between and greatly reducing the shear pressure at a root initiation area. In an alternative embodiment, a subzero temperature glycol solution within a portion of the valve seat puller head is circulated to “cold pull” heat from the valve seat puller head assembly and the valve seat which is in contact therewith.

Abstract: A tire rim protection device, including a rim cover to cover at least a portion of a tire rim, at least one key bolt to connect the rim cover to the tire rim, and a round key to connect to the at least one key bolt, such that the at least one key bolt fastens the rim cover to the tire rim in response to a rotation of the round key.
