Granted: 1913-08-19
Abstract: 18,949. Anderson, A. P. Ang. 19. Roasting granular substances; processes of treating grain; damping or steaming grain.- Relates to a process such as described in Specification 13,353/02, [Class 49, Food &c.], for the manufacture of " puffed " or swelled products from starch and starch - containing materials, cereals, seeds, &c., hulled or unhulled. The material in an air-dry condition is placed in a closed receptacle such as the drum 2, Fig. 1, which is pivoted on a spindle 4 between the side members 3 of a carrier having wheels which run between guide-rails mounted on gear-rings 8 in an oven. The gear-rings and drum are rotated by means of a shaft 10<a>. The lid 18 of the drum presses against a roller 19 and has softmetal packing to form a tight joint, the drum being preferably made of bronze having a higher coefficient of expansion than the side members 3. When the desired temperature and pressure is attained, the valves 15<e>, 15d, and 15<a> may be opened to allow the pressure in the drum to fall to atmospheric; or the heating may take place with the valves open so that no rise of pressure takes place. Dry or superheated steam is then introduced from a pipe 20 passing through the oven and leading through a stuffing-box 12<a> and pipe 12<b> to a flat perforated pipe 13, Fig. 4, within the drum. The steam may be discharged and a fresh supply introduced once or several times. The last is retained for a short time and then suddenly released by stopping the rotation, running the carrier 3 out from the oven, and lowering the drum about the pivot 4 by means of mechanism attached to the lug 17<a>. The cover 18 flies open and the material is expanded by its internal pressure and shot out into a wire or like receiver. If unhulled grain is treated, the hulls are thrown off during the expansion. The process may be applied to wheat, rice, corn, Kaffir corn, barley, millet, and other grains, seeds, and kernels, or to macaroni, spaghetti, or the pellets produced as described in Specification 18,946/12, either in the same apparatus as is used for " puffing " or in that described in Specification 18,950/12.

Abstract: 19,450. Morison, D. B. Aug. 28. Surface condensers; condenser systems.-Relates to a condenser fitted with a chamber which is normally used for cooling water of condensation on its way to the air-pump suction, but which can be emptied and used for condensing steam. The cooling-chamber b is formed in the lower portion of the condenser a by a plate d having provision on its upper surface for causing a preferential flow of condensate into a pipe f fitted with a valve h, which, when open, discharges the condensate direct to the air-pump suction g, the chamber b being meanwhile emptied through a drain-pipe p and used for condensing purposes. The airpump suction g communicates with both the condenser a and the chamber b by means of passages c, r. The preferential supply of water to the pipe f is effected by means of a guideplate n which is cut away at the centre so as to direct the water into a funnel e leading to the pipe f. Apertures in that portion m of the plate d which lies between the guide-plate n and the wall of the condenser provide for the passage of water or steam to the chamber b. A weir s prevents water of condensation from flowing direct to the air-pump suction, and a plate k, cut away towards the sides, causes a distributed flow of air into the air-pump suction. The pipe f may lead to a separate pump, and the plate k may extend down to the plate d and be perforated for the passage of air. Specification 21,120/06 is referred to.
