Patent number: 9814103Abstract: In an induction heater, preheated, pressurized air is further heated in the heating cabinet and also drawn into the coil tube via a suction fan. The simultaneous pulling and pushing of the twice-heated air through the tube provides superior air flow to pick up more moisture from the can ends being dried. The tube ends rest on upwardly concave collars and are held in place by gravity, with a single screw acting as a stop above to prevent upward movement. Removal requires only removing the single screw at each end then lifting the tube straight up out of the cabinet, which is facilitated by providing a hinged cover on the cabinet.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2014Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Nordson CorporationInventors: Timothy E. Wilson, Howard Podolny, Raymond J. Baxter

Patent number: 8852692Abstract: Apparatus and method for electrostatic charging of a container for an electrostatic coating operation includes a support member for supporting a container during an electrostatic coating operation with the support member comprising a non-metallic conductive material or electrically semiconductive portion that directly contacts a surface of the container. The electrically semiconductive portion comprises non-metallic, resistive or low conductivity material and is coupled to a source of electrical energy such that the container is electrostatically charged to an opposite polarity to offset or reduce electrostatic charge build up produced by the electrostatic coating operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2013Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Nordson CorporationInventors: Terrence M. Fulkerson, Timothy E. Wilson, Michael A. Bordner, Jon Davisson, Brad W. Syrowski

Publication number: 20030185096Abstract: A dispensing apparatus is provided that dispenses minute quantities of liquid material, such as, for example, pharmaceutical suspensions, while maintaining substantial homogeneity of the suspension. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a mixing device that stirs, agitates or otherwise imparts motion to the suspension that is contained in a reservoir. For example, a mixing device is realized in the form of a magnetic impeller, mixer or stirrer that is disposed within the suspension. A series of magnets external to the reservoir are rotated to produce a rotating magnetic field that induces rotation of the impeller.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2002Publication date: October 2, 2003Inventors: Thomas E.
