The raspberry fruitworms are among the most destructive pests of raspberry in the northern states. The raspberry fruitworm adult, a beetle, appears in the spring and may be found on the tips of the canes in bright sunlight.... They feed for a number of days along the upper surface of the unfolding leaves. When the leaves are fully open, they are perforated with a series of elongated holes parallel to the veins. Later the beetle attacks the blossom buds. Eggs are laid within and on the outside of the blossoms. The larvae feed in the developing berry. The larvae drop to the ground to pupate in the soil. 3, record 1, English, - raspberry%20fruitworm

Single-punch tablet presses are operated by filling a feed shoe with the tablet composition and emptying the feed shoe into a die cavity. The feed shoe is retracted and scrapes all excess composition away from the die cavity. An upper punch compresses the granulation within the die cavity. After compression, the upper punch retracts and a lower punch rises and ejects the tablet. As the feed shoe returns to fill the die cavity, it pushes the compressed tablet from the die. 1, record 6, English, - single%2Dpunch%20tablet%20press

Two types of plants are used to make hot mix asphalt concrete, the batch type mixing plant and the drum mix plant A batch plant mixes, then drops individual batches of hot mix asphalt concrete and a drum mix plant is a continuous flow type of production plant. In a batch type mixing plant different sizes of aggregates are drawn from a multi-bin cold feed system into an enclosed counter flow rotary drum. After the aggregate is dried, it is lifted to the top of the batching tower and on to a screen system which separates the aggregate into different sizes and then drops the different sizes into individual bins. Aggregate is then drawn from the hot bins in predetermined amounts, weighed and dropped into a pug mill mixer with the correct amount of liquid asphalt. The batch is mixed, then dropped into a waiting truck or sent to a surge bin until trucks arrive. In a drum mix plant a metered, four compartment, cold feed bin system supplies the exact amount of the required size of aggregates to the rotating drum mixer The drum mixer is an inclined, parallel flow dryer/mixer in which the aggregate is dried and heated in the upper section of the drum, then mixed with liquid in the lower part of the drum. From the drum the hot mix is discharged into a hot elevator which lifts the finished product to a surge hopper or storage silo both equipped to load trucks. 4, record 12, English, - drum
