A separator and/or stack stabilizer (referred to as a sticker) used to stack materials for drying and/or curing. The sticker has support members that extend radially outwardly from a central portion. An open-ended channel configured to allow air to flow therethrough is defined between each adjacent pair of support members. Together, the central portion and at least a portion of the support members may have an X-shaped cross-sectional shape. A different support platform having a support surface may be connected to each of the support members. Optionally, the support surfaces include airflow grooves. The sticker may be constructed entirely of a material that includes aluminum.

A method for producing a honeycomb structure including producing an unfired pillar shaped honeycomb body; placing the unfired pillar shaped honeycomb body on a receiving table such that the unfired pillar shaped honeycomb body stands thereon; conveying the unfired pillar shaped honeycomb body placed on the receiving table; drying the unfired pillar shaped honeycomb body after the conveying step, or drying the unfired pillar shaped honeycomb body during the conveying to obtain a honeycomb dried body; and firing the honeycomb dried body to obtain a honeycomb structure. The receiving table includes at least one protrusion. In the honeycomb formed body conveying step, the unfired pillar shaped honeycomb body is conveyed while supporting it by inserting the at least one protrusion of the receiving table into a bottom surface of the unfired pillar shaped honeycomb body placed on the receiving table.

The present invention relates to an electrode mounting unit comprising: a mounting member comprising a horizontal plate, a vertical plate disposed on a top surface of the horizontal plate, and a shaft which is fixed to the vertical plate and into which an electrode roll is fitted to be mounted; and an unwinding prevention member disposed between the electrode wound around the electrode roll and the horizontal plate to support the electrode wound around the electrode roll so as to prevent the electrode wound around the electrode roll from being unwound.

The invention relates to a device for storing objects under defined temperature conditions and humidity conditions. In particular, the invention relates to a device for curing objects made of concrete. The device has a shelving system having a plurality of shelf supports and a plurality of bearing elements for supporting shelves supported on the shelf supports and arranged one above the other in a plurality of levels, on which shelves the objects are stored. According to the invention, a flow pipe system for distributing supply air provided in a climate system is at least partially integrated into the shelving system. A plurality of shelf supports in this case are at least in sections at the same time downward pipelines of the flow pipe system that the provided supply air is able to flow through. As a result, condensation at the foot of the shelving system and thus corrosion is counteracted at the shelf supports, thus increasing the service life of the shelving system.

A method for processing demineralized bone fibers, comprising a centrifuging step, and following the centrifuging step hydrated in sterile water to create a slurry; providing a tray to receive said fiber slurry; freezing the tray and fiber slurry; and lyophilizing the fiber slurry to create dried fibers.

The present invention relates to a system for one pot solids recovery from solutions, slurries, emulsions, dispersions, gels, semisolids, and their like. Further the system can be used for controlled concentration of solutions, slurries, emulsions, dispersions, gels, semisolids, and their like to enable easy to operate cost effective energy efficient processes. The system is so constructed to enhance the contact between the liquid medium and the gaseous medium used in the process for effective heat transfer. The system can be used for controlled concentration and/or recovery of substantially dry solids in applications related to foods, nutraceuticals, natural products, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, etc.

A sticker for spacing wood is extruded from an aluminum alloy. The sticker can have different configurations. In a first configuration, the sticker has a width about the same as its height, with longitudinal ridges on all sides that grip wood when wood is stacked on the sticker. In a second configuration, the sticker has a width significantly greater than its height, with longitudinal ridges on the top and bottom surfaces, and with smooth side surfaces. The longitudinal ridges have a height within a specified range and are spaced at a distance peak-to-peak within a specified range. The ridges provide good grip of lumber stacked on the sticker yet do not easily plug with wood fibers through repeated use. The extruded aluminum sticker is very rugged and can be used for hundreds or even thousands of drying cycles.

The device for drying resealable bags includes a tray having a bottom wall, sidewalls, and end walls that form a chamber. Pivotally connected to the tray are a plurality of support members. The support members include a pair of side posts connected by a cross bar and preferably are different heights and widths.

In one embodiment, a drying rack system includes a frame including horizontal members and vertical members, an array of brackets supported by the frame, and a plurality of clamping hangers supported by the brackets. A first clamping hanger of the plurality of clamping hangers may include a pair of opposing clamping jaws configured to compress against each other, and a hinge securing the clamping jaws together proximal one end of the first clamping jaw.
