Cutter agents

For moving streams of particnlate matter (aggregate matter, slnrries), typically transported nsing conveyor belts or similar horizontal agents (slides, tmcks, railroad cars, etc.), the eqnivalent principal solntion is the cross-stream cutter, as is illustrated in Fignre 3.22. 

Lecithin will function as a release agent, providing cleaner and faster pet food or biscuit parting from a stamp or mold. A reduction in the amount of pressure required to create an impression with a stamp is seen when lecithin is used in the mix. The ease of formation of intricate, stamped, surface appearance details, especially with low-fat products, is also improved with lecithins. When dough is being cut, lecithin improves release from the die, especially with rotary cutters. With superior release, foods and biscuits are formed with a better impression, and lower numbers of cripples (i.e., improperly formed product). Some pet biscuits are formed from a batter injected into a mold prior to cooking. Lecithin can improve flowability of the batter so that it fills all the mold corners and cavities. After cooking, lecithin improves release from the mold. 

Extruded-Polystyrene Foam This material has been produced for over 40 years and is manufactured as billets and boards. It is made by extruding molten polystyrene containing a blowing agent, under elevated temperature and pressure, into the atmosphere, where the mass expands. The billets and boards can be used directly or can be cut into many different forms. Common tools for fabrication are bandsaws, hotwire cutters, planers and routers. Boards may have a cut or planed surface, or may have an integrally extruded skin of extremely small cells. Many sizes are available in extruded cellular polystyrene. BUlets can be... 

Cheap mixture of ammonium nitrate, water, aluminium powder and polystyrene adhesive as a bonding agent. First used in the 6.75 t free fall bomb BLU-82 ( Daisy cutter or aerosol bomb ). The peak pressure of the bomb ignited approximately 1 m above ground reaches 70 bar in a radius of 30 m. GSX has been used for mine field clearing and for Instant helicopter landing zones in the Viet Nam jungle-war. 

Naturally, leather absorbs some liquid water but mainly is water resistant. The leather industries do not claim that it is waterproof. So-called waterproof leathers are finished with water repellent agents such as organo-silicon, fluorocarbon and so on. Water absorption of leather can be tested by a static absorption method (ASTM D1815, 2000a). Cut the conditioned specimen with a circular cutter. Measure the diameter and thickness of the specimen. Calculate its volume in cubic centimetres. Weigh the specimen to the nearest 0.01 g. Immerse the specimen in distilled water at 23 1 °C in ahorizontal position with the grain side up. Leave the specimen immersed for a period of 30 min. At the end of immersion, take out the specimen and blot the surface of the specimen with filter paper to remove excess water. Weigh the specimen immediately to the nearest 0.01 g. Calculate the amount of water absorbed by the specimen ... 

After Ed s move to Einstein in 1956, a joint U.S. patent in the public interests was filed (together with H. M. Tsuchiya and N. N. Heilman) on the practical production of the Streptococcus DS-50 dextran. Pilot plant production was undertaken at NRRL clean-up and bottling were carried out as a service by the Cutter Corp. and a successful clinical trial of the dextran for treatment of patients in shock was conducted by Dr. W. Metcalf of Einstein s Department of Surgery. Ed presented a final report to the National Research Council in 1962. In the end, despite the discovery of a simpler way to manufacture a product of great potential military usefulness, dextran in general would be replaced by blood and plasma as agents of plasma volume expansion in shock patients. 

There are several processes for the production of moldable polyolefin beads. In the BASF process, LDPF foam strands are extruded out of a multi-hole die and granulated to beads by a die-face cutter. Inexpensive butane is used as the blowing agent and the foam beads are then cross-hnked by electron-beam. As the beads have atmospheric cell pressure, a special technique is required to develop the... 

An air spray gun includes a roller cutter that chops glass fiber rovings to a controlled length before they are blown in a random pattern onto a surface of the mold simultaneously with a spray of catalyzed resin (Fig. 7-7). The chopped fibers are coated with resin as they exit the gun s nozzle. The resulting, rather fluffy, mass is consolidated with serrated rollers to squeeze out air and reduce or eliminate voids. As in hand lay-up, the first layer of a gel coat may be applied over the mold, followed by successive passes of the sprayed-on composite before a final gel coat is applied. If required, inserts, and so on, can be included during the spraying operation. Thixotropic agents (Chapter 6) may be employed in the resin. 

The contents of chemical munitions may also be under pressure and liquid agent can spray as they are opened. Other problems encountered by some have included seized bolts and the problem that lubricants used to unseize the bolts must be used in a manner that does not interfere with CW agent monitoring equipment. Equipment used to open munitions, such as pneumatic wrenches and saw pipe cutters, must be used with care, especially in cases where the munitions still have their fuses attached.
