Publication number: 20220234320Abstract: An apparatus for separating mixed together substances of different flowability has a frame structure and a hollow drum with a perforated circumferential surface driven in a revolving manner and mounted on the frame structure. A pressing element lies externally in the region of the circumferential surface of the drum and is driven in a revolving manner, such that the drum and the pressing element form a product intake wedge for the feeding in a product stream, of material to be pressed. The drum and pressing element also form a pressing region. A discharge element is associated with the pressing element downstream of the pressing region in the product stream conveying direction, for discharging residues that remain on the pressing element after pressing. The discharge element is an actively drivable, endless discharge belt for discharging the residues in a discharge direction. A corresponding method is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2020Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Olaf Schwarz, Joachim Härtlein, Michael Fuchs, Uwe Karsten

Patent number: 11338532Abstract: An apparatus for separating materials with different flowability has a rotationally driven hollow drum with a perforated peripheral surface, stripping means for stripping away material, and a continuous compression belt pressed from outside onto the drum by wrapping around part of the circumference of the drum, an intake wedge for the material. The belt is mounted by a drive roller and bearing roller. The drive roller controllably variably presses into a pressing position against the drum, separated by the belt. The drive roller position is adjustably set by a first positioning device via a control device, with a first end abutment element for mechanical position limitation. Part of the first positioning device comes into blocking contact with a first counter-surface of the first end abutment element in the pressing position of the drive roller and the first counter-surface of the first end abutment element is adjustable by the control device.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Nordischer Maschinenbau Rud.

Patent number: 10711276Abstract: Amino acid residue misincorporations are necessarily found in sequence variants at low concentrations in admixture with expressed polypeptides, resulting from one or more base mismatches within codons susceptible to amino acid residue misincorporation during transcription and/or translation. The invention provides a method of optimizing the coding sequences of a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide, wherein at least one codon is susceptible to amino acid residue misincorporation. The method of the invention can be used to reverse-engineer an unknown coding sequence, which encodes the same polypeptide, but differs in said at least one codon from the known coding sequence. The method can further be used to alter the immunogenic potential of an expressed polypeptide. Thus, the invention is useful in engineering optimized polynucleotides encoding polypeptides.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2015Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Sandoz AGInventors: Johann Holzmann, Michael Fuchs, Clemens Achmüller, Hansjörg Toll
