Sausage Machine

An extruder resembles devices used for loading Gelatin Dynamites in paper cartridges. Such devices are known as sausage machines". An Improved Type is shown in Ref 1, p 306, reproduced here as Fig 4... 

In contrast, the Bravo machine is more consistent and individual tablets never have a drug content much above or below the overall average. The small figures in the column of individual deviations then feed through the rest of the sausage machine, leading to a lower SD (3.78 mg). 

The rest of the calculation is a classic statistical sausage machine . In the next line the discrepancies are squared and then these are divided by the expected frequency. In the final line, we sum the last two figures to produce the test statistic — y A large value for y2 would provide sufficient evidence that the null hypothesis is inconsistent with what was actually observed and should be dismissed. Exactly how big the y2 value has to be for the result to be statistically significant is shown in Table 15.3. 

Prepared feeds are marketed in various forms from very fine particles through cmmbles, flakes, and pellets. Pelleted rations may be hard, semimoist, or moist. Hard pellets typically contain less than 10% water and can be stored under cool, dry conditions for at least 90 days without deterioration of quahty. Semimoist pellets are chemically stabilized to protect them from degradation and mold if they are properly stored, while moist pellets must be frozen if they are not used immediately after manufacture. Moist feeds are produced in machines similar to sausage grinders.

Channel formation experiments have been conducted with a small Prototype machine. This machine is a 600 kV, 5 60 ns water transmission line charged with a Marx generator. With fill pressures of 1 to 4 atmospheres, these experiments have created channels of 0.1 mm radius at currents up to 100 kA. The density distribution of a channel is measured by a Moire-Schlieren technique with illumination by a short pulse N2 laser (3373 A). An example of such a channel photograph is shown in Fig. 20. In these experiments no sausage or kink instabilities have been observed out to 120 ns.
