  • Publication number: 20130260002
    Abstract: Described is a method of making a reduced-sodium food product and the resulting food product itself. In the method, a corresponding full-sodium food product is designated as containing 100% sodium from NaCl. The method includes the steps of preparing a food product using no more than about 50 wt % NaCl from flake salt as compared to the corresponding full-sodium food product and up to 45 wt % NaCl provided from soy sauce or natural flavor enhancer as compared to the corresponding full-sodium food product. The result is a reduced-sodium food product that is at least 5 wt % reduced in NaCl as compared to the full-sodium food product.

  • Publication number: 20060185552
    Abstract: A railcar with discharge control system is disclosed. In one embodiment, a railway car includes an underframe and at least one hopper for transporting lading. The railway car further including the underframe including a center sill which defines in part a longitudinal axis of the railway car. A discharge opening formed proximate to a lower portion of the hopper. A respective door assembly pivotally mounted adjacent to the discharge opening to control the flow of lading from the hopper. The door assembly operable for movement between a first, closed position and a second, open position relative to the discharge opening. A discharge control system operable to move the door assembly between the first position and the second position. The discharge control system operably moves generally longitudinally along the axis of the railway car to move the door assemblies between the first, closed position and the second, open position.

  • Publication number: 20050056186
    Abstract: A railcar with longitudinal discharge openings is disclosed. In one embodiment, the railcar includes an underframe, a pair of sidewall assemblies and a hopper formed between the sidewall assemblies. The underframe has a center sill and a pair of side sills. The center sill disposed between the pair of side sills along a generally longitudinally axis of the railcar. The hopper includes a discharge opening adjacent to the center sill. A respective discharge door assembly disposed adjacent to each discharge opening to control flow of lading from each hopper. Each discharge door may hinge from the center sill for movement between a first position and a second position relative to the discharge openings.
