Title: Method of producing a cereal food product, and cereal food products when produced thereby
IPC: A23L1/18
Filed: 1929-12-02
Abstract: 344,055. Cereal preparations. KELLOGG CO., Porter Street, Battle Creek, Michigan, U.S.A.-(Assignees of McKay, E. H.; 188, Hubbard Street, Battle Creek, Michigan, U.S.A.) Dec. 2, 1929, No. 36883. Convention date, Dec. 5, 1928. [Class 49.] A crisp cooked cereal product is obtained by cooking a cereal material, forming the material to a desired shape, then drying it until the moisture content is about 5-14 per cent, and finally subjecting it to heat sufficiently high to puff it. The material may be a mixture of rice with wheat or bran. In the example given, bran and rice are supplied through feeders 1, 2 to a conveyer 3 carrying the mixture, which contains 80 per cent by weight of rice and 20 per cent of bran, above a batch of rotary cookers. The mixture is supplied to a cooker 4 through a discharge opening 8, water containing salt, sugar, and flavouring material being also supplied from a tank 5 through a pipe 6. The cooker is next closed and steam at about 15 lbs. per sq. in. pressure is supplied thereto, and is rotated, at first slowly and then more rapidly, the cooking taking about 75 mins. The steam is then turned off and the rotation continued for some time. The material is discharged to an attrition grinder 10 and thence to a tempering vat 11 to bring it to the proper consistency and moisture content, suitably of 20 per cent, for the forming operation. The material is next shaped under pressure between shredding rolls 12, dried to a moisture content of about 12 per cent in a dryer 13, and finally puffed in a rotary oven 14 heated to 400‹-600‹ F. Specification 111,119, [Class 49, Food &c.], is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to sponge rubber sheeting
Inventor: MCMAHON THOMAS FERNIE
Filed: 1965-09-02
Abstract: 1,115,581. Moulding sponge rubber sheets; laminates. UNIROYAL Ltd. 23 Sept., 1966 [2 Sept., 1965], No. 37600/65. Headings B5A and B5N. Sponge rubber sheeting is made by calendering a rubber-blowing agent mixture into a sheet, punching holes in the sheet, and finally vulcanizing and foaming the sheet. The holes are of such a size as to remain open during the foaming, and the punched-out pieces are reintroduced into the calender, thus eliminating wastage. A backing layer such as hessian or felt may be applied to the foamed sheet. In the described embodiment, a sheet is calendered between rollers and then perforated by passage under a " Turret " punch having a series of frusto-conical punches 8 spaced in sets about an open-ended vertically reciprocable cylinder 7. The punched-out pieces are blown from inside the cylinder on to a conveyer whence they pass to a feed mill and are reintroduced into the calender. The perforated sheet is covered by a heavy fabric and passed between heated vulcanizing and foaming plates after which the fabric is removed and the blown sheet bonded to a hessian covering. If the punches become clogged and require attention the cylinder 7 is merely rotated to bring a new set of punches into the operative position.

Abstract: 364,309. Treatment of grain. TUSSAUD, G. P., Money Hill, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire. Dec. 16, 1930, No. 31914. [Class 58.] Fat and oil bearing seeds, such as soya beans, are first soaked in water and then subjected to the action of sulphur dioxide at a temperature of from 110-140‹ C. The duration of the sulphur dioxide treatment is such that the moisture content of the seeds is reduced below their normal content. Shelled or unshelled seeds are passed from a grain cleaner 1 to a washer 2 where they are washed for two or three hours, after which they may be pulverized; they are then conveyed by a chain elevator 3 to a series of ovens 4 of the continuous feed and delivery type, having an aluminium lining and being steam-jacketed. Sulphur dioxide is passed into the ovens from a measuring wash-bottle device 8 through pipes 7. A vacuum pump or rotary exhauster 9 is connected to the ovens by pipes 10 ; the seeds remain in the ovens from twenty-five to fortyfive minutes according to their size, being constantly stirred by screw conveyers with radial beating arms. The ovens are drained through outlets 16. Soya beans thus treated may be used for the manufacture of synthetic milk, biscuits and other food stuffs. Barley and wheat may also be treated by this process.
