  • Patent number: 11957150
    Abstract: A rotary drum blancher/cooler for processing food includes a skinsheet comprised of a plurality of sections, clamps, and structural channels. Each clamp has clamping and release positions, and includes a base, a bail connected to the base, a draw connected to the bail, and at least a portion of a skinsheet clamp bar connected to the draw. The sections are disposed between structural channels, such that the drum is defined by the skinsheet sections alternating with the structural channels. The base is attached to a structural channel, and the draw extends from within to outside the structural channel. The skinsheet clamp bar is outside the structural channel. When the clamp is in the clamping position the clamp bar holds a skinsheet section to the structural channel in an operating position. When the clamp is in the release position configuration the clamp bar allows skinsheet section to move away from the structural channel in cleaning position.

  • Patent number: 8574690
    Abstract: An article in the form of a paper substrate having a first surface and a second surface; an internal paper sizing agent present in an amount sufficient to impart to the paper substrate an HST value of from about 50 to about 250 seconds; and a metal salt drying agent having at least about 20% by weight of one or more monovalent metal drying salts, wherein the metal salt drying agent is present on at least one of the first and second surfaces in an amount sufficient to provide a percent ink transferred (“IT %”) value equal to or less than about 65% and to provide a black print density value of at least about 1.45. Also, a method for treating the internally sized paper substrate having the HST value of from about 50 to about 250 seconds with the metal salt drying agent.
