A canola seed sample crusher features a frame, and a drum rotatably carried on the frame and having an array of seed pockets on an outer periphery thereof. The seed pockets are sized and shaped to receive individual canola seeds respectively therein. A pathway is arranged to receive a length of adhesive tape and guide the tape over the seed pockets in the outer periphery of the drum during rotation thereof to adhesively collect the sample of canola seeds from the seed pockets onto the adhesive tape. A crushing mechanism is carried on the frame and operatively installed at a position along the pathway to crush the sample of canola seeds collected on the adhesive tape during passage of the tap tape through the crushing mechanism.

A system for grinding particles has an input and an output and a particle flow path between the input and the output for a particle flow. The system may include a milling apparatus configured to grind particles of the particle flow moving along the particle flow path to produce ground particles for the particle flow, and the milling apparatus being configured to reduce a size of the particles of the particle flow. The system may also include a sensor assembly configured to sense at least one characteristic of particles moving along the particle flow path, the sensor assembly utilizing near infrared (NIR) energy to sense the at least one characteristic of particles moving along the particle flow path.

A particulate sizer includes an infeed for receiving a plurality of particulates, a first roller, and a second roller. The first and second rollers break down the plurality of particulates as the plurality of particulates passes through a gap between the first and second rollers. The width of the gap varies along a length of the first and second rollers. Accordingly, the first and second rollers compress some particulates to a first size and compress other particulates to a second smaller size. In addition, each of the first and second rollers has a textured outer surface for carrying the plurality of particulates through the gap.

The present disclosure provides antibody cytokine engrafted proteins that bind to and stimulate intracellular signaling through a high affinity interleukin receptor. The antibody cytokine engrafted proteins find use in enhancing anti-inflammatory cell responses, and reducing pro-inflammatory effects in the treatment, amelioration and prevention of immune related disorders such as Type 1 Diabetes.

The exemplary embodiments herein provide a roller grain mill assembly having a lower frame, a plurality of roller grain mills attached to the lower frame, an upper frame extending upwardly from the lower frame, a single electric drive mechanically coupled to each of the roller grain mills, and a cyclone separator placed in gaseous communication with the roller grain mills and located above the electric drive. In some embodiments, a centrifugal scatterer may be suspended from the upper frame and placed in gaseous communication with the roller grain mill. In other embodiments, a cyclone separator may be placed in gaseous communication with the roller grain mill and centrifugal scatterer. An electric drive coupled to each roller grain mill may be cantilevered off the lower frame.

Roller packages (IO) for grinding devices (70), comprising a first roll (11), which is maintained by at least one first bearing body (13), and a second roll (12), which is maintained by at least one second bearing body (14). The first bearing body (13) and the second bearing body (14) are prestressed against each other and comprise stop elements (17,19) with stop surfaces (18, 20), the contact of which counteracts a contact of the rolls (11, 12). The rotational position of the first stop element (17) determines the minimum width of the grinding gap. Also disclosed are grinding devices (70), methods for operating a roll assembly (10) and methods for determining the radial force acting between the rolls (11, 12) of a roll assembly (10).
