Abstract: A method of separating particles from particle laden air is described. The apparatus employed is a multiple stage separator in which the first stage comprises a generally cylindrical chamber (18) having a hollow central member (50) extending axially from one end thereof with openings in its wall (53) remote from the said one end. The first separation step is achieved by introducing air tangentially into the chamber (18) near its said one end, the tangential entry in combination with an unapertured region of the wall (53) of the central member establishing a rotating mass of air in the chamber, thereby causing heavier than air particles to migrate to the outer regions of the chamber (18) under centrifugal force. Suction is applied to the interior of the central member (42) to cause an axial movement of air through the chamber before it can exit through the openings in the wall (53) of the central member. The suction force is selected such that particles near the walls of the chamber tend to continue in a generally rotational and axially progressive path into a particle collecting region (26) of the chamber, while relatively particle-free air is drawn radially inwardly, as it progresses axially, so as to exit to a second separation stage (40), through the openings in the central member wall (53). A skirt (56) extends from the end of the central member beyond the region containing the exit openings, to define a narrow annular gap between the skirt (56) and the wall (22) of the chamber, so that particles in the collection region (26) are prevented from reaching the exit openings (52). An annular flange (68) is provided around the central member (50) between the unapertured and apertured regions of the wall thereof, so as to force the vortex of rotating air within the chamber away from the central member as it progresses along the chamber (18). Particles separated in a later separation stage (40) are conveyed to a particle collecting region (66) via a passage extending through the central member (50) of the first stage, which may include a valve which is closed during air flow, and is opened after air flow ceases to allow particles collected upstream of the valve to pass into the particle collecting region. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pneumatically operated egg injection machine (100) includes a sealed frame structure (102) with a pair of in line parallel tracks through an injection section (130) and a transfer section (132) in series. An injection assembly (131) over one parallel track (150) includes a plurality of injectors gripped in a support plate to simultaneously inject vaccine into the same injection region irrespective of egg height and orientation. Fluid delivery systems meter prescribed vaccine dosages to the injecting needles with reduced turbulence, friction, heat and residence time to increase the delivered titer to the injected eggs. A transfer assembly (133) includes a plurality of transfer suction cups which lift the injected eggs by causing a reduced pressure in a ring around the injection hole while maintaining the injection hole at atmospheric pressure, thus avoiding negative pressure in the egg. Once the eggs are lifted, the plate and suction cups move horizontally across the machine over to the other parallel track (152) to deposit the injected eggs. All of the eggs are injected and transferred as a single group. The injection assembly is sprayed with a sanitizing solution at the same time that the injected eggs are moved from the injection section (130) to the transfer section (132) and the transfer assembly can transfer the eggs from the incubating tray to the hatching tray while the eggs in the next incubating tray are injected by the injecting assembly, thus increasing machine speed. The operation of the machine is controlled and monitored by a controller or computer with appropriate visual display monitor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring and sorting parcels, including the concept of determining at least one component of the gravity center of said parcels. Determination of the gravity center component includes the use of a tilting action in combination with the use of sensors to sense the movement of the parcels as they tilt.
