Food process-line coating apparatus for coating a stream of food product in a food process line are provided with the improvement of a permanently-installed internal cleaning-fluid circuit and a plurality cleaning-fluid distribution devices. The cleaning-fluid distribution devices are any of a rotary spray head, a spherical spray nozzle, a rotary frame or a tubular (cylindrical) rotary manifold. The rotary spray head optionally has a multitude of flat spray nozzles mounted along the arms. The spherical spray nozzle might be mounted on a columnar base, and a plurality of those might stand like pickets and aimed a laterally-extending target, like a conveyor belt's nose roller. The rotary frame might have a spaced pair of parallel manifold tubes that rotate about a common axis. The tubular (cylindrical) rotary manifold preferably has a multitude of ports or nozzles distributed at spaced locations on its outer sidewall.

A portable conveyor system receives and conveys particulate material to downstream equipment. The system includes a base frame, a material handling assembly carried on the base frame for depositing the material into the downstream equipment, and at least one adjustable feed conveyor to convey the material from a source onto the material handling assembly. The feed conveyor is movable in various manners relative to the base frame between a working position and a stored position. The material handling assembly includes a main conveyor assembly to convey material along the base frame from the feed conveyors to an elevating assembly at one end of the base frame. The elevating assembly is collapsible in height relative to the base frame for transport.

Disclosed is a rapid detection system for water and impurity of machine-harvested seed cotton in purchase link, including: a seed cotton large-impurity-cleaning device, a seed cotton sample case, a driving and transmission device, a cotton pressing device, an image collection and processing device, a moisture regain rate detection device and a control cabinet; the seed cotton sample case consists of a positioning plate and a high light transmittance glass case, the weighing device consists of a weighing sensor, a pallet, and an electric push rod; the driving and transmission device consists of the rollers, the motor of conveyor belts and conveyor belts, the cotton pressing device consists of an electric push rod, a connecting rod, a connecting plate, and a high light transmittance glass plate. Said rapid detection system could realize the rapid detection to the impurity rate and moisture regain rate of the seed cotton.

A bucket and a corresponding bucket elevator, the bucket has a bucket wall surrounding a filling and discharge opening and having a rear wall and a front bucket wall, the front bucket wall having a front edge delimiting the filling and discharge opening, and the bucket being connectable to a conveyor device via the rear wall, wherein the ratio between the bucket depth, which corresponds to the horizontal distance between the rear wall and the front edge, and the bucket height, which corresponds to the vertical distance between a bucket low point and the front edge, is greater than 1, preferably greater than 1.3, more preferably greater than 1.5.

A vehicle-based, automated pizza-making system including a two-piece pizza pan conveyed between pizza-making components on a series of pan drive rails. The two-piece pizza pan can include a base and a removable ring for containing the unfinished pizza and toppings. The rails can include timing belts for conveying the two-piece pizza pan through the system with improved positional control and accuracy.

System and method for cross-fab wafer transportation are provided. An exemplary system includes a first control unit coupled to an associated first automatic material handling system (AMHS), the first AMHS includes a first overhead transport (OHT) track comprising a first portion and a first vehicle movable along the first OHT track and carrying a container, the container is operable to carry semiconductor wafers therein. The system includes a second control unit coupled to an associated second AMHS, the second AMHS includes a second OHT track comprising a second portion adjacent to the first portion and a second vehicle movable along the second OHT track. When the first vehicle is within the first portion of the first OHT track and the second vehicle is within the second portion of the second OHT track, the first and second vehicles are operable to transfer the container directly from the first vehicle to the second vehicle.
