Abstract: A separator extracting dry chopped food waste material from wet chopped food waste material fed in fluid state includes an outer container for an internal centrifuge having a rotating cylinder with perforated walls, which contains a rotating screw that advances the wet chopped food material and separates the liquid portion therefrom; an inlet opening, which receives the wet chopped food material to be introduced into the rotating cylinder through a hollow duct inside the screw feeder, causing its upward movement and advancement; and an outlet opening, which evacuates the chopped material without the liquid portion. The outer container includes upper and lower half-shells that are monolithic and integral sanitation elements of the separator and a centering and sealing element at a coupling area, a flow-regulation valve being positioned at a lower opening to evacuate the separated liquid from the outer container.

Abstract: A grinding and dewatering apparatus by centrifugation for highly selective differentiated food waste collection includes, in a supporting structure, a hopper introducing waste-products into a grinding chamber and subsequently into a centrifuge having an inner body and an outer body with a finely perforated, coaxial side wall, a deceleration chamber of the filtered water, a motor driving a grinding unit and the centrifuge, wherein the motor integrally activates both the grinding unit and the centrifuge and overlies both, and a discharge for evacuation of the ground waste-products. Both the grinding unit and the inner and outer bodies of the centrifuge are positioned in a deceleration chamber and are arranged integrally with a rotating disc, and the discharge is a movable discharge that can be selectively positioned below openings, situated in a flanged extension arranged below for closing the centrifuge for evacuation of the ground waste-products into a collection basket.

Abstract: The invention features a textile fastener tape characterized by having, in the weft direction across the tape, one or more sections which exhibit elasticity and one or more sections which do not exhibit elasticity. The fastener tape can be a woven or a knitted fabric.

Abstract: A fabric tape having loops for complementary attachment to a hook-carrying member of a hook-and-loop fastener assembly. The fabric tape includes a fabric backing having a front face and a rear face; and a multitude of elongated yarn loops formed on the front face of the backing, at least some of the loops defining a clockwise-extending axis with reference to the front face of the backing and at least some of the loops defining a counter-clockwise-extending axis with reference to the front face of the backing. The loops are positioned in uniform ranks and files on the front face of the backing.
