  • Publication number: 20210260618
    Abstract: A process of applying a fluid containing one or more additives to a surface of a linear substrate in a linear compartment. The process includes passing the linear substrate through first and second seals of the linear compartment, contacting the linear substrate with the fluid within a chamber within the linear compartment while an exposure gap has a first length that is greater than zero, the contacting being conducted for a time with the fluid at a temperature. The linear compartment is dimensionally reconfigurable, optionally during an infusion process.

  • Patent number: 11033923
    Abstract: Provided are apparatuses for the processing of one or more components of a fluid into the surface of a linear substrate. The apparatuses include a processing barrel having a chamber defined therein as well as a linear substrate inlet and a linear substrate outlet. The processing barrel also includes a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet in fluid communication with the chamber. An exposure gap is defined between the linear substrate inlet and the linear substrate outlet. The chamber is dimensionally reconfigurable so that the exposure gap can have a length from zero to greater than zero.

  • Publication number: 20200305442
    Abstract: A rotary dough shaper including a drive assembly, a support assembly, and a rolling assembly. The rolling assembly comprises a gauging drum having an external surface and an adjustable back plate having an internal surface. The support assembly supports the gauging drum and the adjustable back plate such that a rolling gap is formed therebetween, and the gauging drum is rotatably coupled to the support assembly such that the gauging drum rotates with respect to the support assembly to roll a dough ball between the adjustable back plate and the gauging drum.
