US Patent:

6386097, May 14, 2002

Filed:

May 19, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/574999

Inventors:

Gregory N. Nelson - Fallbrook CA
Herman D. Mims - Shelby NC

Assignee:

Walton Foods, L.L.C. - Battlecreek MI

International Classification:

A23L 100

US Classification:

994507, 99494, 994506

Abstract:

A system for filling nuggets transported along a conveyor utilizes a platform that is positioned above the conveyor in a generally parallel fashion. The platform alternatingly moves in either one of a direction substantially similar to the direction of motion of the conveyor, and a direction substantially opposite to the direction of motion of the conveyor. A coring device is mounted onto the platform and used for forming a cavity in the nuggets. A depositing device is mounted on the platform, and is used for introducing a filling into the cavity in the nuggets. The platform is moving, so that the nuggets can be transported by the conveyor, without having to vary the speed of transportation of the nuggets, while either one of a cavity is being formed and the cavity in the nugget is being filled.

International Classification:

B41J029/393

US Classification:

347 19, 347 3, 358406

Abstract:

A printing component receives media, applies print imaging thereto, and delivers the media to a first location. The apparatus selectively applies at least one calibration mark as the print imaging. An imaging component receives the imaged media at a second location and produces scan data representative thereof. The apparatus selectively analyzes the at least one calibration mark and produces calibration data.
