Document IPR2019-01461, No. 2009 Exhibit - Exhibit 2009 Copy of Exhibit 1026 Automation in the Food Industry (P.T.A.B. Jun. 11, 2020)
Projects he has been involved with in the food and beverage industries include milk pasteurisers, kegging and bottling lines, brewhouse automation, chocolate and meat products using programmable controllers and supervisory computers.
The nougatine centre of a confectionery bar line is a typical example: sugar syrup, fondant and egg whip must be blended with, say, nuts, raisins and crispies, and then spread to a uniform carpet for cooling, cutting and covering with chocolate.
In the case of pure liquids of low viscosity, such as are found in the soft drinks industry, reciprocating metering pumps of high accuracy are used to add colours and flavours to the basic sugar/glucose mix.
For instance, the assembly of small rectangular cereal packets is relatively straightforward, although when the total manufacturing system is considered as a whole a complex requirement for the coordination of a large number of machines emerges.
Traditionally conservative by nature, they have come to realise that any investment in plant and computer equipment can be justified not only in terms of pay back or throughput, but also in market share protection and other corporate issues and strategy.

The apparatus of the invention can also include a tamping apparatus carried by the conveyor to retract or extend with the conveying surface end region and having vertically reciprocal 15 tamping elements arranged above the respective first or sec ond row being filled with food product drafts, particularly drafts in the form ofbunches, groups or piles of food product.
When the dwell time period is over, the web of film is advanced such that new rows of empty pockets are presented at the fill station.
However, the present inventors have recognized that "fluff' or "bunch" type products sometimes need to be re-collected correctly in the pockets of the lower web to ensure a neat and 50 compact filling.
The present invention provides an apparatus that effec tively "tightens-up" drafts of thin-sliced piles offood product to fit neatly into packages.
The synchronization of the tamp ing mechanisms 160 with the filling of the pockets 62 can be accomplished using the optical sensor 17 4 and/ or information of the conveyor speed from the servomotor 114.
