Patent number: 11533935Abstract: A system for agitating products in a retort includes a clamping assembly configured to selectively impose a first clamping force on a first end of at least one product carrier and a second opposing clamping force on a second end of the at least one product carrier, and a reciprocating assembly configured to apply linear forces on the product carriers for reciprocal movement of the product carriers along the retort. A method of processing products in a retort includes arranging products in at least one product carrier for movement along a retort and reciprocating the at least one product carrier along the retort in a non-sinusoidal pattern of movement.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2019Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: JOHN BEAN TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Kevin Andrew Carlson, Jacob Richardson, Frederick James Wilson, Andrew Carl Prins, Joshua Logan Fender, Michael C.

Publication number: 20220276220Abstract: Embodiments are described for separating collecting components from a multi-component fluid such as whole blood. Some embodiments provide for controlling the amount of a component, such as platelets, introduced into a separation chamber to ensure that the density of fluid in the separation chamber does not exceed a particular value. This may provide for collecting purer components. Other embodiments may provide for determining a chamber flow rate based on a concentration of a component in the multi-component fluid, which may then be used to determine a centrifuge speed, to collect purer concentrated components.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2022Publication date: September 1, 2022Inventors: Marlene BAINBRIDGE, Todd Curtis GREEN, Logan FENDER
