Methods and apparatus for transporting or delivering elastomeric emitters and inserting elastomeric emitters into drip line are disclosed herein, and more particularly, to methods and apparatus for manufacturing drip line to form an irrigation assembly or system. In one form, the apparatus comprises a feeder, conveyor, emitter drive mechanism and guide bar for insertion into an extruder to bond the elastomeric emitter to an inner surface of the extruded tube. Friction reducing apparatus and methods are further disclosed as well.

A rice gel production system for producing rice gel in a form of a gel including: a cooking unit that cooks or steams raw-material rice to obtain cooked rice; a cooked rice conveyance unit that conveys the cooked rice; and a pulverizing unit that receives the cooked rice from the cooked rice conveyance unit and pulverizes the cooked rice to obtain rice gel. The pulverizing unit includes: a first pulverizing unit that pulverizes the cooked rice to obtain first pulverized rice; and a second pulverizing unit that pulverizes the first pulverized rice discharged from the first pulverizing unit, the pulverization by the second pulverizing unit being performed more finely as compared with the pulverization performed by the first pulverizing unit 100A to obtain the rice gel.

This invention belongs to a seedling separating device based on a rack and pinion drive in the field of transplanting machine in the agricultural automation facility, including a rack, a power unit, a linear drive, a number of seedling cups and a cylinder pushing device. The linear actuator is driven by the power unit to move on the frame; these seedling cups are mounted on the linear drive; the cylinder pushing device is mounted on the frame and is located behind the seedling cups and it drives the lower part of the seedling cup to open and retracts to close. The seedling device has simple structure, controllable program and high reliability. The motor drives the seedlings cups to move left and right; the cylinder pushes the cups to be opened and closed; the trust cup is straight down, the seedling attitude is better and the location of seedling can also be adjusted. The device can not only achieve the exact location in the designated seedling, but also to achieve the seedling movement of separating seedlings to two points from the mouth of the seedling cups.

In a vacuum chamber, there are first and second film formation regions, and a conveyance path having a projected shape on a vertical plane. The conveyance path has a continuous ring shape and passes through the first and second film formation regions. A substrate-holder conveyance mechanism has plural driving portions in contact with driven portions on the substrate holder and is configured to convey the substrate holder along the conveyance path such that the substrate holder remains horizontal. The driving portions convey a preceding substrate holder and a following substrate holder adjacent to each other through the respective film formation regions such that an end portion of an upstream side of a substrate holder at a downstream side in the moving direction and an end portion of a downstream side of a substrate holder at an upstream side in the moving direction are close to each other.

A vacuum processing apparatus having a small installation area is provided. A lifting plate is arranges inside a vacuum chamber, and a substrate holding device is arranged on the lifting plate to be able to be lifted up and down. An upper side processing device and a lower side processing device are provided in a processing region located beside a lifting region where the lifting plate moves up and down. An upper side moving device and a lower side moving device make the substrate holding device pass through the processing region, and a transfer device transfers the substrate holding device between the upper side moving device or the lower side moving device and the lifting plate. Because vacuum processing can be performed on the upper side and the lower side, the installation area of the vacuum processing apparatus is small.
