System and method for reprocessing animal bedding
10626059 · 2020-04-21 · ·

A method and system reprocess soiled animal bedding material commingled with animal manure. In one aspect the soiled animal bedding material is separated in a shaker to send at least a preponderance the manure to a holding tank. In another aspect the bedding is cleaned, rinsed and color is restored. The bedding material is subsequently dried and a bedding product, fertilizer product, and/or compacted product is formed. Alternatively, the bedding material is dried (without a compacting step) to form a product. In another aspect, the steps of separation, cleaning, rinsing and/or color restoration may be omitted.

COATED PACKAGING PRODUCTS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS

In a method of forming a coated bag for pre-treating an item stored in the bag, a bag is provided, having a sidewall extending from a closed bottom end to an open top end and defining an interior surface of a cavity. The bag is expanded from a flattened condition to an expanded condition. At least one adhesive dispenser is inserted through the open top end of the bag into the cavity. An adhesive is applied from the at least one inserted adhesive dispenser to form an adhesive coating on the interior surface of the cavity. A particulate dispenser is inserted through the open top end of the bag into the cavity. A particulate is discharged from the inserted particulate dispenser to embed the particulate in the adhesive coating. The adhesive coating is dried to retain the embedded particulate on the interior surface of the sidewall.

FOOD PRODUCT CARRIERS FOR PARTIALLY COMPRESSING FOOD PRODUCTS DURING PROCESSING WITH ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE FOOD PROCESSING SYSTEMS
20190350230 · 2019-11-21 ·

The present application relates to food product carriers for microwave or radiofrequency sterilization or pasteurization of food products. In an embodiment, a method of processing a hermetically sealed packaged food product with microwave or radiofrequency energy to achieve sterilization or pasteurization is included. The method can include loading one or more hermetically sealed packaged food products into a carrier, the hermetically sealed packaged food products having a non-uniform thickness. The carrier can include a first press plate and a second press plate. The method can further include reducing a gap distance between the first press plate and the second press plate sufficiently to compress a portion of the hermetically sealed packaged food product and applying at least one of microwave or radiofrequency energy to the food product to result in sterilization or pasteurization. Other embodiments are also included herein.

DYNAMICALLY CODED BUNDLES WITH INDEXING FOR VISUAL REFERENCE GROUPINGS
20190347587 · 2019-11-14 ·

A workflow process for packing and unpacking variable sized bundles of printed card signs includes providing identifiable codes that make the card signs highly visible and recognizable. Included on selected card signs is a color coded border with indexing added to each bundle in groupings to help in packing and unpacking the bundles into and from boxes. When the bundles are packed in a box on edge, both the person packing and unpacking the box can easily identify the beginning and end of each bundle and thereby limiting the time required to organize and process the bundles and reduce labor cost and errors.
