  • Patent number: 9289838
    Abstract: Disclosed is a guide roller wherein bearings are held in a housing, and liquid mixed with abrasive grains is prevented from entering the interior of the housing through a small hole, thereby improving service life. The guide roller is configured to comprise a housing wherein the bearings are held in the housing, and the housing has a shaft hole wherein a support shaft is inserted that is installed upon the bearings. The shaft hole is formed to have a tapered wall, and the diameter of the hole decreases continuously toward the interior of the housing.

  • Patent number: 8337933
    Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation of oyster flesh extracts. Raw oyster flesh is placed in an extractor with a solution stored in it. The extractor is closed up tight and pressurized to 1 atm to extract oyster flesh extracts from the raw oyster flesh, and they are fed into the solution in the extractor. An extraction solution with the oyster flesh extracts is fed in concentrated solution to precipitate out the oyster flesh extracts. The precipitates are dried into dry oyster flesh extracts. The extractor is then closed up tight and pressurized to 0.1 atm to 0.2 atm to extract a second portion oyster flesh extracts from the raw oyster flesh, and they are fed into the solution in the extractor. The precipitates are dried into dry oyster flesh extracts.
