There are three main types of necking technology... The first is die-necking, where the diameter of the can body can be reduced at one end or at both ends simultaneously. A necking ring-a kind of drawing ring whose ring diameter equals the outer diameter of the unnecked body on one side, and the desired necked diameter on the other side-is pushed axially onto the body. The neck geometry is thus shaped to the profile formed by the two ring diameters. An inner core prevents wrinkling and calibrates the exact neck diameter. 2, record 3, English, - die%20necking

While the simple blast cell is the most prolific technology today for freezing bulk materials, processors are investigating other forms of inexpensive freezing that can drop temperature quickly and flexibly. Plate freezing and continuous belt freezing are two examples. In plate freezing, the product is generally placed in a leak-proof bag, although in some cases direct contact is used, and then compressed between two plates that are held at-40°F. Freezing times of just a few hours are possible, depending on the thickness of the product. Continuous freezing belt systems are similar to a blast cell in terms of air flow and temperature, with the primary difference being that instead of staging palletized product, boxed product moves on a slow conveyor belt within an enclosure. This allows differently shaped and sized boxes to be loaded simultaneously and usually requires a 24-hour dwell time to reach zero. It is a bit slower than plate freezing, but with more product flexibility. 1, record 6, English, - belt%20freezing

The Double Arch Downfired, or W Flame Furnace... is the proven way to efficiently self-combust anthracites in Central Station steam generators.... FW Ball Mills receive coal on each end, from bins and feeders located overhead... Primary air coming from air heaters enters each mill end and dries the coal. Once the coal is ground and classified, the air pneumatically transports it towards the arch cyclone burners... A "W" shaped flame forms in the lower furnace(volume below the arches). Gases then continue their upward move through the conventional upper furnace. In the FW arch fired technology, only a fraction of the air enters the furnace through the arch; the bulk of the air is fed to the furnace through slots in the vertical walls located directly below the arches. 2, record 7, English, - double%2Darch%20furnace%20boiler
