US Patent:
7845272, Dec 7, 2010
Filed:
Apr 23, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/766745
Inventors:
Richard Powers - Overland Park KS, US
Adam E. Anderson - Leawood KS, US
Paul Hardenburger - Hutchinson KS, US
Assignee:
Marlen International, Inc. - Overland Park KS
International Classification:
A22C 7/00
A23P 1/00
A47J 43/18
US Classification:
99427, 99352, 426513, 425557, 425576
Abstract:
A system () is provided for the production of elongated comestible products such as hot dogs, without the use of traditional casings. The system () includes a circular pattern of arrays () of elongated, open-ended, extruded synthetic resin cooking tubes () within a rotatable cylindrical heating drum or housing (). The tube housing () and arrays () are incrementally rotated and at each stop position certain of the tubes () are filled with portions of meat emulsion () and alternating plugs (), while previously filled tubes () containing cooked product are unloaded, and other unfilled tubes are internally coated with a lubricant (e. g. , a mixture of lecithin and vegetable oil). Energy exchange media such as hot water and/or steam are used within the housing to continuously cook the emulsion portions within the tubes () to the desired extent.

E04B 5/00
F27D 99/00
US Classification:
52177, 52414, 523021, 137312, 137362, 119450
Abstract:
Smokehouses () or other similar thermal processing cabinets or houses are provided with improved floor assemblies () which eliminate fluid collection and provide a high degree of structural integrity. The smokehouses () include upright walls () supported on the floor assemblies (). Each floor assembly () has one or more weldment frame assemblies () including a peripheral frame assembly () with opposed wall receiving channel segments () and frame elements (). Drainage structure such as one or more tubular drain units () are also preferably secured to the weldment frame assemblies () and are positioned to effect proper liquid drainage. Tread plates () are secured to the weldment frame assemblies (). In order to construct a floor assembly (), an appropriately sized recess () is formed and the weldment frame assemblies () and drain units () are installed. A monolithic pour of concrete () is then placed within the weldment frame assemblies () and allowed to cure.

US Patent:
20080314260, Dec 25, 2008
Filed:
Jun 22, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/767403
Inventors:
Paul Hardenburger - Hutchinson KS, US
International Classification:
A23B 4/044
A23B 4/00
F24F 13/10
F24F 13/15
F23L 13/00
US Classification:
99476, 99516, 454335, 13760109, 126285 R
Abstract:
A dual damper assembly () having rotatable dampers () operated in a predetermined relative phase relationship within separate passageways () is provided for use with food treatment systems such as a smokehouse () in order to control the tendency of the dampers () to flutter and thereby alter the desired relative orientation of the dampers (). The dual damper assembly () includes a drive assembly () serving to rotate the dampers (), as well as a brake assembly () operably coupled with one of the dampers (). The brake assembly () has a rotatable disc () secured to a damper rod extension (), with an associated caliper assembly () including brake pads () engaging disc () in order to control damper flutter.

Filed:
Jul 10, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/612724
Inventors:
Paul A. Hardenburger - Hutchinson KS
Assignee:
Lincoln Foodservice Products, Inc - Fort Wayne IN
International Classification:
A21B 126
US Classification:
126 21A, 99443 C
Abstract:
The oven described herein comprises at least one conveyor for carrying food products through a bake chamber to be cooked, a bake chamber with openings for conveyor(s), an air heating, distribution and return system, a fan box that contains means for pressurizing heated air and a drive end that contains the fan motor, conveyor drive motor(s) and oven temperature controls. The bake chamber, air distribution components, air return components and conveyor(s) are designed so that all components may be easily and quickly removed for cleaning while allowing access for maintenance. Each conveyor has a separate speed control and may travel in either a left to right or right to left direction. The air heating, distribution and return system features a burner tube mounted at the rear of the fan box, at least one centrifugal fan which rotates on an axis perpendicular to the direction of conveyor travel, return air ducts, a central return air opening between fans (for embodiments with more than one fan) and hot air distribution manifolds for impinging hot air on the top and bottom surfaces of product being cooked. Heated air is provided at the rear of the hot air distribution manifolds. The oven controls are side-mounted and centrally located to facilitate field service.
