Methods and apparatus for separating and removing aflatoxin-contaminated corn from batches of corn by a floating process, thus producing a distinguishable floating mat of contaminated corn and a separate submerged bed of uncontaminated and less contaminated corn. The methods of this disclosure include removing the floating contaminated corn mat by a vacuum mechanism or by liquid flow. The methods reduce the aflatoxin level in the submerged corn bed as much as 80% from the initial aflatoxin level, while removing no more than 15% from the batch of corn.

A system for delivering microingredient feed additives into a feed ration includes a storage hopper with a mixer element attached to an agitator shaft that is configured to agitate a high-moisture feed ingredient in the hopper when the agitator shaft is rotated. A micromachine includes storage containers for storing low-inclusion ingredients, and meters and dispenses precise amounts of selected low-inclusion ingredients without using a fluid carrier. A mixing conveyor receives and mixes the high-moisture feed ingredient and the selected low-inclusion ingredients. The mixing conveyor includes a discharge screw with a rotatable shaft and flighting attached to the shaft, wherein a portion of the flighting positioned below the storage hopper pull the high-moisture feed ingredient from the storage hopper and convey it to a mixing section that receives the selected low-inclusion ingredients dispensed from the micromachine without using a fluid carrier and mixes the low-inclusion ingredients with the feed ingredient.

The current invention relates to a process for preparing maltitol enriched products and said process is chromatographically fractionating a maltose syrup followed by hydrogenating it into a liquid maltitol enriched product and optionally solidification or crystallization of maltitol. Liquid, solid and crystalline maltitol of different purities are obtainable by a single process.

A system and method for handling and transporting moist bulk grain by-products include a rail car having an aluminum car body carried by a plurality of trucks for engaging rails. A flexible top cover, supported by a plurality of breakaway curved ribs, is positioned over an open top of the rail car to protect the moist bulk grain by-products carried therein. The car body has a front end and a rear end each having a wind screen for spoiling or deflecting the flow of air over the car as it moves to prevent the flexible top cover from being lost or damaged. The car may be emptied by a car inverter over a conveyor, such as a reciprocating floor which carries the moist grain by-products to a mixer, or transportation vehicles for distribution to customers or users of the grain by-products.
