A mixing apparatus is configured to efficiently input noodles coated with an additive to a receiving tray, with no need to perform weighing again after the noodles are input to the receiving tray. The mixing apparatus includes at least two hoppers that each house falling noodles and that allows the noodles to fall through rotation of the hoppers. A supply device supplies a sauce to the noodles in the hoppers, and the two hoppers are spaced from one another in the falling direction.

A bulk material processing system and method for operation of such a system is provided. In one example, the bulk material processing system may include a conveyor assembly including, a conveyor with a conveyor surface supporting a plurality of constituents of the bulk material received from a bulk material source and a motor configured to generate conveyor movement. The bulk material processing system also includes a heating assembly including a first heater configured to generate heat at a first heating zone on the conveyor surface, and a coating application assembly including a first coating source configured to provide a first liquid coating to a first spray nozzle configured to spray the first liquid coating onto a portion of the plurality of constituents of the bulk material in the first heating zone while the first heater is activated.

Providing a mixing apparatus capable of efficiently input noodles coated with an additive to a receiving tray, and having no need to perform weighing again after the noodles are input to the receiving tray.

The mixing apparatus 8 includes: a hopper 30 that houses the falling noodles and that allows noodles to fall while rotating; and a supply device 60 that supplies a sauce to the noodles in the hopper 30, and at least two hopper 30 are provided in a falling direction.

A rotary atomizer is disclosed for the even distribution of a treatment fluid within a treatment chamber. The treatment fluid is delivered onto a rotating disk atomizer through multiple outlet ports. Fluid passages provide each outlet port with an even flow of treatment fluid at generally the same time and rate. This even and simultaneous flow of treatment fluid results in a more even distribution of treatment fluid on the seed that flows through the treatment chamber throughout the treatment cycle.

Novel apparatus and methods for coating surgical needles in batch processes are disclosed. The apparatus and methods are particularly useful for applying uniform silicone lubricious coatings to surgical needles in bulk quantities using a novel separation and spray coating system and method

A venturi-type composite nozzle device for suctioning and removing air pollutants is disclosed. The venturi-type composite nozzle device suctions air pollutants in the vicinity thereof by using negative pressure formed through the venturi principle, and then mixes same with water, jets the mixed water and brings same into contact with the air pollutants again, so as to have a large adsorption ratio of air pollutants in comparison to the amount of water usage, and enables water to be reduced by that amount, and thus has excellent operating performance. To perform such functions, the device employs a venturi-type intake casing, an introducing-spray nozzle, and an impeller.

An atomizer mixing chamber for a seed treater has a body having first and second inlets for receiving first and second treatment fluids. The atomizer mixing chamber has a first stage cup for receiving and combining the first and second treatment fluids to provide a combined fluid, the first stage cup comprising a first set of holes through which the combined fluid flows. The atomizer also has a second stage cup below the first stage cup for receiving the combined fluid from the first stage cup, wherein the second stage cup further mixes the combined fluid to provide a mixed fluid and wherein the second stage cup comprises a second set of holes through which the mixed fluid flows. The atomizer mixing chamber may include a third stage cup below the second stage cup for receiving the mixed fluid and having a third set of holes through which the mixed fluid exits from the atomizer.

A particulate material coating device, comprising a vertical central column, a supply conduit for supplying the device with particulate material to be coated and a discharge conduit for discharging coated particulate material, a conveying ramp connected to the central column and a plurality of sprayers for spraying a coating agent. The supply means is arranged at the top of the device and the discharge conduit is arranged at the base of the device. The conveying ramp comprises a plurality of ramp sections arranged one above the other so as to define, between two successive sections, a drop zone for the particulate material to fall between each of the successive sections. The device aims to ensure that the particulate material is transported without areas of accumulation as well as a homogeneous coating.

A bulk material processing system and method for operation of such a system is provided. In one example, the bulk material processing system may include a conveyor assembly including, a conveyor with a conveyor surface supporting a plurality of constituents of the bulk material received from a bulk material source and a motor configured to generate conveyor movement.
