A bulk material processing system and method for operation of such a system is provided. In one example, the bulk material processing system may include a conveyor assembly including, a conveyor with a conveyor surface supporting a plurality of constituents of the bulk material received from a bulk material source and a motor configured to generate conveyor movement. The bulk material processing system also includes a heating assembly including a first heater configured to generate heat at a first heating zone on the conveyor surface, and a coating application assembly including a first coating source configured to provide a first liquid coating to a first spray nozzle configured to spray the first liquid coating onto a portion of the plurality of constituents of the bulk material in the first heating zone while the first heater is activated.

Bulk material processing system and method

Systems and methods are provided for seasoning food products in a production line. In one example, a system includes a motor assembly, a substantially cylindrical drum coupled to a ring mount, and a drive ring assembly includes magnets within the drive ring assembly to selectively retain the drum.

Methods and systems are provided for a conveyor system. In one example, a system may include a drive carriage comprising a plurality of magnets configured to magnetically couple to a conveyor pan. The plurality of magnets may be configured to maintain the conveyor pan in a fully locked position as the drive carriage actuates the conveyor pan.

Methods and systems for a conveyor assembly

An electromagnetic drive mechanism for use in powering vibratory equipment is provided. As one example, a drive mechanism may include a plurality of deflectable elastomeric springs in a configuration that allows the auxiliary springs to achieve a vertical, non-linear spring rate increase.

A magnetically retained screen assembly for a conveyor for processing goods is disclosed. The magnetically retained screen assembly includes one or more magnetic screens and one or more magnet assemblies, wherein the one or more magnet assemblies are configured to magnetically retain the one or more magnetic screens within the conveyor support structure.

Batch cookers, as well as methods for cooking using the batch cookers, are provided. A batch cooker comprises a cooking trough configured to hold a volume of heated cooking oil. An oil recirculation system delivers heated cooking oil from an external heat source (e.g., a heat exchanger) to the cooking trough through a series of valves and inlets. After use in cooking, used cooking oil is drained from the cooking trough and filtered (e.g., using a drum filter) before being recirculated into the heat source for reuse in subsequent cooking cycles. One application for the batch cooker of the present disclosure is to cook kettle-style potato chips. Accordingly, the batch cooker is configured to facilitate the multiple cooking temperatures required to produce kettle chips.
