Mass handling methods for the continuous processing of masa type dough in conjunction with commonly available feed processing equipment, such as a masa extruder, an oven, or cooling apparatus. One masa handling method includes a masa separator having a pair of opposed, endless belt conveyors having facing surfaces spaced apart to receive a generally continuous masa stream output from a nozzle on the masa extruder. When the masa stream moves between the conveyors, it is gripped by their facing surfaces and moved away from the nozzle, causing the masa to be separated into individual pieces, or logs. The masa handling method can also include feeding the masa to masa hoppers fed by at least two endless belt conveyors arranged in upstream and downstream positions relative to each other. The masa is transported along the conveyors and is automatically diverted into one masa hopper by a diverter gate operated by a controller that receives a signal from a sensor sensing a masa level within an associated one of the hoppers. The hopper has one or more rotating shafts having projections to remove gas bubbles from the masa and force it toward the sheeter rollers.

A masa handling apparatus for the continuous processing of masa type dough in conjunction with commonly available feed processing equipment, such as a masa extruder, an oven, or cooling apparatus. The masa handling apparatus includes a masa separator having a pair of opposed, endless belt conveyors having facing surfaces spaced apart to receive a generally continuous masa steam output from a nozzle on the masa extruder. When the masa stream moves between the conveyors, it is gripped by their facing surfaces and moved away from the nozzle at a faster speed, causing the masa to be separated into individual pieces, or logs. The masa handling apparatus can also include at least two masa hoppers fed by at least two endless belt conveyors arranged in upstream and downstream positions relative to each other. The masa is transported along the conveyors and is automatically diverted into one masa hopper by a diverter gate. The diverter gate is operated by a controller that receives a signal from a sensor sensing a masa level within an associated hopper.

A method and apparatus for handling masa, the dough material used for production of tortillas. The hopper has a nozzle sized to output a continuous piece of masa of a predetermined thickness to a pair of spaced opposed conveyors which grip and feed the masa between them. A drive mechanism connected with the conveyors drives them at a speed faster than the speed of the masa exiting the nozzle to separate them into individual masa logs.

A device for delivering fluid to a user includes a fluid reservoir for holding the fluid, the fluid reservoir defining an internal volume and a stopper positioned in the internal volume of the fluid reservoir, wherein the stopper is formed with a cavity. The device further includes a piston having a distal end received within the cavity of the stopper and an actuator coupled to the piston for driving the piston into the internal volume of the fluid reservoir. Also, the device includes a coupling device for engaging the piston in the cavity of the stopper at a desired position and a sensor for determining whether the piston is engaged in the cavity of the stopper at the desired position.
