Title: Method of producing compressed dehydrated vegetables and the like,and products produced thereby
Inventor: EVANS MICHAEL EMRYS
IPC: A23B7/12
Filed: 1964-10-05
Abstract: Vegetables or fruit, e.g. shredded cabbage or carrots, are dehydrated in a hot air dryer, compressed to form a block in a heated mould and immediately following compression the formed block is transferred into a container which contacts it around substantially all its outer area and is inextensible under normal internal pressure set up by the compressed block.

Title: An improved method of and apparatus for processing town wastes to produce compost
IPC: C05F17/02
Filed: 1963-10-16
Abstract: Compost is produced from town waste by disintegrating after mixing with hot sludge or other aqueous liquid and processing in a rotary drum to which steam and hot air are admitted, the drum being lagged or jacketed to conserve heat.  The drum may be cylindrical or hexagonal. Disintegration may be effected in the same or a separate drum rotating at a faster speed.  A separate drum may be provided with arcuate blades, replaceable wearing plates, or a rubber or ceramic lining.  Two processing drums in series or in parallel may be employed. Before disintegration, the waste may also be mixed with a proportion of dust previously removed from the waste.  Disintegration may be effected at a temperature of up to 170 DEG  F. for a period of 2 hours.  Processing may be effected at a temperature of 150-175 DEG F. for a period of 48 or 72 hours.  Anaerobic action may be substituted for aerobic action at some stage.  The resulting compost matures within 2-3 weeks.
