Abstract
Systems and methods for rotating a product during processing including a shackle system including a trolley, a rotator, and a rotating shackle and a track. The trolley is coupled to the track and configured to undergo translational motion along the track causing the shackle system to move along the track. The rotator is configured to undergo rotational kinematics causing rotation of the rotating shackle.
Claims17
A system for product processing comprising:
- a track configured to impart translational kinematics to shackled product transporting the shackled product through one or more processing stations;
- and
- a shackle system configured to impart rotational kinematics to the shackled product;
- wherein the system provides both translational movement and rotational movement of the shackled product through one or more of the processing stations.

An inline system for product processing comprising:
- a track configured to impart translational kinematics to shackled product transporting the shackled product through one or more processing stations;
- and
- a shackle system configured to impart rotational kinematics to the shackled product;
- wherein:
- the shackle system comprises:
- a rotator;
- and
- a rotating shackle;
- the rotator is configured to undergo rotational kinematics causing rotation of the rotating shackle;
- the inline system provides both translational movement and rotational movement of the shackled product through one or more of the processing stations;
- one or more of the processing stations comprise heat transfer media through which the shackled product translates and rotates;
- and
- the translational movement and the rotational movement of the shackled product through the heat transfer media provides for enhanced control and transport phenomena between the shackled product and the heat transfer media over only translational movement of the shackled product through the heat transfer media.
