Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing compost,
characterized in that when the compost is produced by inoculating aerobic
composting seed bacteria to an organic waste material, the process
comprises: supplying oxygen while the waste material is stirred, and
supplying water so that the water content of the waste material is 60±5%,
and to a process for producing compost, characterized in that when the
compost is produced by inoculating aerobic composting seed bacteria to an
organic waste material, the process comprises, after begining of the
fermentation, adding sugars to the waste material in a divisional manner
before a main fermentation is transferred to the amine/ammonium metabolic
system. Further, according to the present invention, an apparatus for
producing compost is provided. The apparatus comprises: a fermentation
vessel having an oxygen supplying means, a water distributing means, and
a stirring means; and a control means for detecting or determining the
moisture content of an organic waste material contained in the
fermentation vessel to control, on the basis of the detected or determined
result, the amount of water to be distributed by the water distributing
means. 
     According to the present invention, when organic waste materials
disposed from food processing factories and the like is processed to
produce compost of high quality, formation of ammonium and amines mainly
causing unpleasant odors or generation of lower fatty acid which is a
factor for a growth inhibition of plants can be suppressed, and the compost
can be produced in stable, and within a short period of time.

Abstract: A meat encasing machine has a looper horn, linking chain and conveyor which, prior to production, have home positions which are determined. A pulsed signal is generated as the looper horn rotates and is transmitted to an amplifier from an encoder on the servo motor for the looper horn and the conveyor. The output pulse signal is then reduced in frequency so that it can be read by a PLC. The PLC counts the pulses in the signal and can determine the relative position of the looper horn based on the count and can therefore minimize the rotation of the looper horn in the home position at the beginning of each new cycle. The meat encasing machine may also be controlled such that the linking chain, looper, and conveyor have no direct mechanical or electrical interaction between each other. By driving the components with separate servo motors, each can be precisely controlled in the desired ratios with respect to each other.
