Patent number: 9320298Abstract: A product-spreading hood assembly (10) for use with a die unit (128) includes a deflector (14) having wall structure defining a product inlet opening (90) and a product outlet opening (92); the deflector (14) is preferably generally frustoconical in shape and is supported by a housing (12). An optional air delivery assembly (16) allows air currents to be directed from the area of the inlet (90) towards outlet (92) to facilitate separation of discrete products. Advantageously, the air currents are delivered in a circumferential fashion about the die unit (128). Use of the hood assembly (10) serves to separate high moisture or “sticky” extrudates, thereby preventing agglomeration thereof.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2015Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Wenger Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Matthew James Edelman, Dennis Howard Baumgartner, Dennis R. Hartter, Jason Dean Selland, Marc L. Wenger
