Description of Embodiments
This unique design can be applied to metal and mineral processes, livestock
sanitation
with therapy and grooming functions in the form of a livestock spa, among many
other
functions, while charging competitive rates for these services. As for food-
related
operations, this design recognizes that all equipment housing stations and
processing
centers will be encapsulated per needs to be of use to various industries, but
for the
sake of a farmed-product example, food-grade sanitary standards, including the
initial
extraction or separation methods used, for a complete yield maximization
process. In
the mining industry, the quality will match all applicable standards for those
specific
products and will include embarking grading stations for product, for example,
the "4
C's" of cut, clarity and color in gemstones, or carats, especially in
diamonds. The
models for coconut water, olive oil extraction and metallurgical applications
are featured
in Figure 2, as an example of the flow of the enclosed and controlled, self-
sustaining
transport processes.
The most-efficient use of this design is multi-story, with ascending walkways
and
elevators for raw material, livestock and product transport.
Continuing on with the example for dairy farms, inside the building will be an
automated
carwash complete with separate chambers and custom-detection systems for both
vehicles and livestock, converted into a floating cow spa using a custom track
design
and a therapy chamber within, for livestock grooming and therapy through light
and
sound waves. In the application of milking for example, the actual milking is
followed by
the process of a sound-activated receiver, which prompts a slot to open for
cow-relief
after 5 minutes, on a terrain which is constantly fluctuating but still at
relative level with
the floor, lacking the need for any raised height, or constant reference
points, not at all
relative to precise angles or geometry, integrated with multi-level processing
through
saltwater-elevators and ascensions. These, however advanced, will be
controlled by
manual human actions, and create the need for labor, as opposed to fully
automating an
enterprise while eliminating jobs and ultimately resorting to consider a
growing
population in any region as a kind of problem. This does not include most
equipment
sanitation as that is best done at sterilizing temperatures, which employees
cannot
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
physically bear unless by the use of heatproof suits, which would still cause
an internal
irritation of some kind, thereby recognizing that any dirt or microbial film
should ideally
only be considered cleaned-off if ran through a reasonably warm food-grade
sanitation
process with either high-pressure water, scrubbers or brushes, as trial and
error can
prove this.
It is to be noted that the entire operation, relating to any material produced
in this
facility, from melting to molding, milking to packaging, wheat husk separation
to
bagging, or beef body-processing to charcuterie and even leather production
remains
enclosed, quantifiably sterilized and monitored, with added upgraded features,
while
treating, in this case, the milking process itself as an enclosable food-safe
operation,
with 2 food-grade style sanitations for cows before milking, rendering every
approved
farmer's product marketable, and most importantly, easily certified
internationally for
product and sanitation standards, including Non-GMO, HACCP, ISO, FDA, Kosher,
Halal, Organic, or any other form of standard. All rooms will be separated by
walls with
separate electrical rooms, temperatures, air filtration systems and humidity
controllers,
to avoid any confusion while reducing wear and tear.
The temperatures used will conform to food storage temperatures, and will
require
employees to wear sealed full-body suits on which natural food-grade
sanitizers will be
sprayed to ensure employee sanitation, as relying on hand-washing techniques
will not
be sufficient due to air and surface pollution levels of the present day and
age.
Featured in this turnkey enterprise example are the options for clients to
store their
cows at the designated feedlots and barns, and the renewable power sources
used to
run the facility through external storage houses, as energy is the usually the
main cost,
apart from herd maintenance and logistics. The animals are screened upon
entry,
following being treated with nail-cutting services and inspections for general
signs of
health problems by a full-time veterinarian, before proceeding to an automated
car-
wash, fitted with UV lights for spot detection, a post-drying ultra-sound
screen or other
form of defect-detection screen and shockwave therapy gun for the treatment of
mastitis, which will be active after the washing stage through the said defect
detection
system. The car-wash follows the principles of food sanitation, spraying
permissibly
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
warm food-grade soap, water, and sanitizer on the livestock, including
applying
descending brushes that can be controlled manually or by camera and specific
software
integration, creating the need for an employee. This is a preparation for the
next stage
which is a standard livestock climatiz-ing room with suggested embarking docks
for
different water-channels on the "milking" line which is not exactly, but
almost
considerably at level with the floor due to constant fluctuation. This will
lead to a product
processing room, dispensing station and packaging lines all under one
controlled,
constant environment for each section. This fluctuating design was needed to
make it
versatile and applicable to most industries and materials, not only plants or
animals.
The climatization room features a chamber where one of many control rooms is
housed,
based on requirement. Here, employees can control all grooming, milking and
sanitizing
operations. This climatization room will be leading to the enclosed milking
parlor,
complete with individual sectional quarantine protocols (Figure 8), after
which the
livestock are transported to an exit channel into another sterile enclosure,
before
exposing livestock to the outdoors, collectively, after sealing the inner
door, to prevent
contamination through foreign bacteria.
Ventilation and Air filtration systems will be installed to kill any harmful
bacteria (99.9%)
and identifiable odors in each, but especially 3 sections of the plant
(Milking, processing
and packaging). It is to be understood in this example that the cheese aging
and making
rooms will need varying humidity and temperature chambers based on the type of
cheeses being produced, as this solution should offer the option for making
quantifiably
comparable cheeses to those on grocery shelves, as an added benefit not only
to the
lower-income dairy farmers, but the consumers who buy strictly imported
products for
this reason as well. The milking setup will send milk to a holding tank only
if requested,
for a maximum of 24 hours, as this is cooling and storage, and unless the milk
is for
processing or dispensing the same day, is not within the main functions of the
design,
but will be featured as a safety measure in case of emergencies. If not
collected, the
milk will be inspected once more for quality characteristics, added to the
powdering
facility, and be stored as powdered milk for pickup at a later date to prevent
any
unwanted bacteria or viruses from entering or even originating at the
facility.
=
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
This design permits cheaper, open-top packaging, bottling and canning lines to
be
operating within the building, as the building will be mostly sterile, free of
bacteria, CIP-
enabled through water ball-jets at the walls of the ceiling, with a human-
controlled aerial
spray system for spray-able machinery, cleaned by hosed cleaning methods if
not able
to be sprayed entirely, and will still be an enclosed filling line. It will be
ideal for dairy
processing under even the most critical of circumstances in the environment
outside the
building. This design recognizes that the vacuum suction of air also invites
the
surrounding air, either before, during, or after milking, a phenomenon not
taken into
consideration when looking at the world air pollution levels. Generally angled
waste
units float along the parlor, relatively near the hind of the cow with a
sanitary funnel,
possibly encapsulating a portion of the hind with vacuum suction, matter
detection
systems and CIP action involving high-strength soap, sterilizing water and
sanitizer,
thereby keeping the air free of waste odors even before the air filtration or
ventilation
systems. Enclosed milking and packaging is absolutely essential in
underdeveloped
regions with high pollution levels, or developed regions with chemical
pesticide use in
both rural and urban settlements. The sound pollution factor is also taken
into
consideration with the decimation technology surrounding the positions on the
water-
channel, floating milking or wool-processing stations. All electrical
facilities will be above
ground, separate for all floors and rooms within the building, in parallel
circuits so as not
to have a collective malfunction of any kind. The main milk rooms in the
process are
separated by sealed glass walls, as all 3 rooms will be set to different
environmental
and climate conditions, and still remain visibly monitored as well as
technically. The
remaining rooms do not require a see-through environment, and therefore are
walled as
necessary, according to the building design for milk production.
As for the butchery application for example, all bovine-quarter processing
facilities,
charcuterie rooms and fermentation chambers for making Salami, Saucisson and
other
fermented charcuterie products will be visible to the general public through
glass walls.
There will be a corridor along the side of all 3 facilities, for clients to
review the
processes while waiting for their respective products, as an added aesthetic
appeal, and
motivation for bringing livestock, raw materials and produce to an energy-
efficient
automated but job-creating all in one station per industry. Alternatively,
many industries
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
could be paired together, stressing a greater emphasis on this design. Apart
from a live-
factory, this enterprise design may also serve as a tourist attraction,
bringing in
investment from many sources so as to generate a supplemental income from the
said
processes, and for example an added ice-cream parlor, cheese shop, or any
application-related store. Mobile units for multi-use, strictly non-
specialized, product and
animal processing will be dispatched on delivery orders for enclosed farm to
package
solutions. Milk production will contain the bowl attachments described below
as a
means of achieving sanitary functions, and the facility will contain the mini-
flash
pasteurizers and quality filling dispensers, featuring a spa-shower facility.
There are 2
more spa shower facilities, in a second attachable smaller movable room for
the first
sanitation, and a container-sized model. This unit, fitted to sanitary
options, milk options
and care options livestock in this case, will feature the capability to milk
up to 5 cows at
once, as the remainder of the multi-use transporter is to be used for many
applications,
some of which include processing and filling basic milk, cream and butter
after a
minimum of 1,000 liters is collected, not being limited to those numbers. In
the event the
farmer wishes to commercially operate in this remote method, he or she may do
so by
paying the difference in a small fee, fuel and labor costs per liter of milk
extracted.
Other transportation devices will include refrigerated milk production units
will be
enclosed truck-mounted sanitary systems running on renewable energy, whichever
is
available at the time. Contact surfaces will be 316L steel or higher grade,
and will
conform to sanitary standards, thereby improving the concept for other,
already
invented mobile units. All filling nozzles and joints, detection equipment,
drills for
mineral testing or all wool clippers and knives will be stored in a locked
container, within
a flight-case style sanitary compartment of the sanitary units, to prevent
contamination
and theft.
The mechanical components described in this fully enclosed example of a self-
sustaining sanitary milking and packaging system are all seen as necessary,
according
to the design, to ensure sanitary conditions while milking many herd types at
once. After
the milking has completed for each section, food-grade pipes transport the
milk to a
processing room, and ultimately the packaging stations and dispensers. Many
technological advancements are offered in this design which are needed by
necessity to
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
facilitate the method of business model design. The energy used to operate
this
machinery will be renewable. This includes any renewable energy available at
the
location and time of planning. All of the said energies currently exist, and
are renewable,
not limiting the use to any currently discovered forms of renewable energy.
Hydro-
electric automation would be the choice for areas with free-flowing water,
most likely
regulated by the respective government of the region. Solar panels and wind-
turbines
are included in the design at the rooftops of the buildings, with individual
charge
controllers and inverter systems for each building, as to avoid any large
accidents, and
seclude any unlikely malfunctions to the affected building only. The
technology featured
will be used to propel the livestock in this case in a general, un-precise
direction on a
safely mounted yet constantly fluctuating rolling rack, under a mounted
floatation
device, over a water-tank equipped with jet propulsion systems to control the
flow of the
current, thereby eliminating the need to rely on expensive belts for any
factory process.
This tank will feature desalinated seawater as a means to achieve a salinity
of around
times that of seawater, to mimic the effect of floating on the dead-sea. Salt
will be
placed at the bottom, and in this design, there will be a sealed space between
the
floating panels, however the front of the water tank will feature, for
livestock
applications, the exit for airflow coming into the tank for the cows or wool-
animals to
undergo an aromatic spa exfoliation effect during the process, or sheep while
being
transported and shaved, without seeing the water underneath. This method is
intended
to improve positivity in the livestock and possibly the overall process, which
is inevitable
if positivity is improved. In this event, it will be considered an added
benefit to the
already said floating vessel, which is safely secured, and moves at a
considerably slow
rate to prevent sea-sickness in the cow. In the event of a solution for
enclosed milking
for only one cow at a time, for example, in a cooler region, the same enclosed
sanitary
model will be employed in the solution best-fitted to suit those particular
needs. The
advantage of use of this model in colder regions would be that the cow gets
sanitized
safely, milked efficiently and leaves the facility, warm and dry.
This water tank will be designed in the desired general shape of the movement,
or in a
pool form, to accommodate for capacity, avoiding any circular designs, as
these would
require rotation, a completely separate phenomena altogether.

Summary of Invention
[0005] Due to the high costs of production involving energy, monopolies,
transport
and safely enclosing a process, a new method of transportation is being
presented. This system is based on the floatation effect of the Dead Sea,
using
salts from desalinized seawater to provide salinity, and serve the double-
purpose
of supplying pure water to draught areas as well as overall efficiency. This
channel of water will be used to transport materials, produce, employees or
passengers within a facility involving a self-sustaining deliverance system,
which
aids in sanitizing an enclosed processing line from start to finish.
Technical Problem
[0006] Metals, minerals, packaged and fully finished raw materials, including
farm
fresh products and medicinal substances are increasingly getting expensive.
Several manufacturers are now charging as much as the end retailers if the
product is viable, and are considering all industries in between as mere
"middle-
men", unofficially claiming ownership to the sourcing, manufacturing,
transportation and selling process. Raw material producers and farmers of all
industries are generally increasingly not being paid enough by these
production
facilities for their raw product. Furthermore, even the proper sanitation of
facilities,
when performed under atmospheric conditions which almost always contain
harmful fumes from vehicles, air-sprayed chemicals, fine dusts and airborne
residues of a variety of industrial processes, including environments which
inhibit
bacterial growth, de-value the idea of a material production or packaging
process
from start to finish, and to construct contained environments is costly. The
importance of costly sanitation in developing regions is greatly influenced by
world pollutions levels and chemical qualities of the air. Many processes
based
on cleanliness, under the guise of unnecessary expenses, do not consider air
quality as a definite bacteria-carrying medium, thereby leaving many possible
contaminations up to chance. The costs involved are also greatly influenced by
energy and logistics, both within the facility and externally. As a result,
employee
wages are lowered, and the entire business operations need to be run at half-
efficiency or less, in order to survive. This causes a loss of jobs, and
unemployment rates also rise, including other economical problems.
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
Solution to Problem
[0007] The description stresses that raw material, petroleum and ore
extractors,
horticulturists, fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, rice plantations, beef-
cattle
ranches, leather producers, dairy farmers and many other types of farmers can
now self-sustainably produce their own products based on yield efficiently, at
any
number of sanitary floating stations per general production or farming
community,
based on percentage needed of each product attained from processing, and offer
this complete raw material industrialization, or for the mentioned examples,
"farm
to package" station as a service in their respective areas to generate income,
without paying high costs for sourcing materials and energy, or selling raw
materials under market prices. This solution, if put to proper use, will also
have
an effect on the economy as a whole. Energy, certifiable sanitation and
transportation need to be addressed as one cost. Employees should be seen as
an integral part of the process, to which there should be no compromise in
wages.
This design of a self-sustaining, enclosed multi-use business model contains a
specific combination of buildings, parts and machinery for each application,
involving a multi-use ship, boat, raft or dinghy, which transports multiple
elements
from one part of the industrial process to the next, near or far, within a
truly sterile
environment. In larger applications, the water-channel or ship itself may need
to
be enclosed for multi-use, not specialized, so as to retain a variety of
options for
other large-scale applications. Ice-braking equipment and services may need to
be incorporated into the design in some mining and metallurgical processes,
which will be achievable through lack of the above-mentioned main costs. In
the
dairy farm example from the description, the water-track is primarily limited
to the
first process, as the handling of milk in 1 facility is normally done via
centrifugal
pumps and pipes however, for other examples not related to consumable liquids
specifically, it should be seen as a universal solution for most buildings, as
in
transporting heavy metals and ores easily from one general point to the next,
based on rendering the overall weight lighter due to volume-based immersion in
water. This uses significantly less energy to transport the items, cargos or
passengers, which is already running on renewable energy, within or outside
the
facility in an enclosed, multi-use fashion. In most cases, this will be
achieved
through manufactured saltwater, derived from the desalination of seawater, as
a
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
multi-use solution for supplying water to draught-areas, thereby stressing eco-
friendly and humanitarian functions. The use of a CNC machining station,
medical unit and quarantine section for material, products, employees or
animals
is necessary for all types of compliant parts fabrication, medical emergencies
and
quarantine protocols, thereby creating jobs in many industries. In addition,
employee screening, or the physical deliverance of persons within airports and
shopping malls may also benefit greatly with the energy-saving aspect alone,
before considering any other aspects.
Advantageous Effects of Invention
[0008] This design includes versatile options of customizing this facility as
a
gemology-related operation, including forage processing, a wool textile mill,
slaughter-house with multiple product-rendering functions due to multiple
enclosed , controlled environments, some interconnected by constructed,
specialized water-channels. This would include a greenhouse for multiple
farmed
plant extracts or products, fruits and vegetables processing centers, farm-
fresh
honey dispensing station, rice mill, juice and sugar cane processing,
featuring a
sterilized lab for farmed medicinal production, including most farmed
production
methods. Tubers and mushrooms could be processed of different varieties in one
facility safely through this system. Charcuterie labs which only use specific
quality
beef cattle from ranches or private sellers after receiving health
conformation
status from a veterinarian clinic could offer multiple meat, bone and
charcuterie
products based on the food type, acidity, time, temperature, oxygen and
moisture
per room, with a unique transportation system. Bones are used for making fine-
bone china, bone rendering, or for other uses. This would also bring in the
possibility of processing regular and bacterial-cultured products at multiple
stations, for example, Landjager, smoked brisket, and Weisswurst sausage in
separate rooms, yet in the same enclosed farm-to-product and package facility
through the specific transportation method described below, making each room
smell different as well as making each product taste different, which is
uncommon due to many cramped-production tactics used in the industry. In
dairy,
this features a mostly touch-free (mostly water-sprayed) sanitization design.
In
the application for mining, this would still be a carwash, but a much larger
scale
model featuring certifiable treatment systems, and a trammel (washing machine
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
for rocks). As for dairy, a climatization room, control rooms and points,
water-
channels, floating multi-use transportation vessels, quarantine protocols as a
necessity for each installation-type, air filtration systems, hanging salt
bricks for
positivity boosting and drying properties, and ventilation installments are
offered
as the design. Included are controlled product processing, filling and
dispensing
rooms, complete with options for various products, as for the examples of a
milk-
producing facility, with the main products being butter, milk, yogurt, ghee,
kefir,
ice cream, a selected variety of cheeses or any other milk products will be
offered,
based on the percentage of milk attained by a specific herd, desired by the
client
to be made into these products. Powdered milk will also be available. Cheeses
that require completely different environments will take longer to mix, mold
and
age, and therefore will be picked up at a later date, including yogurt, which
will be
dispensed the next day through the select customer's designated fermenting
tank.
This will benefit dairy farmers as well when they need a food-safe solution
that
can be packaged and sold without selling their raw milk for prices which are
under the market value. As an example, it can be considered that in several
regions, milk processing facilities generally buy the milk from dairy farmers,
at
less than half the cost of final sale value. This 100% marginal monopoly can
also
be eliminated with the energy-saving aspect, where the owner of such a
facility
could charge a comparably small fee for production, thus promoting self-
enterprising longevity and repeat business, both for the facility, the
respective
farmers' dairy businesses, as well as remote investors from urban settlements,
who lack resources to farm. The concept of palindromic economies of scale is
now introduced, meaning a low-cost starting point, slightly increasing with
the
setup costs, and realistically returning to the low average costs due to
incorporated energy-efficient solutions, in this case, involving saltwater
transport
and renewable energy, while remaining marketed as certifiably sanitary.

to
raise a group of animals by filling the tank with water gradually from the
bottom, with
no drowning or falling risks, only the risk of gradually descending to the
ground with
air pockets as a means of deceleration, as an example of a variation. It is to
be
understood that the layout is intended to be the same on all floors, but may
change
as time progresses, thereby further confirming the claim to the unique design
of the
total facility, it's operation method and integral values of economical
improvements
on which the model is based. It may be that the owners of the facility wish to
process
multiple types of farming or raw material operations on different floors, with
separately chosen environments, the maximum being 3 floors, not being limited
to
that number.

section of the cooling tanks.
Description of Embodiments
This unique design can be applied to metal and mineral processes, livestock
sanitation with therapy and grooming functions in the form of a livestock spa,
among
many other functions, while charging competitive rates for these services. As
for
food-related operations, this design recognizes that all equipment housing
stations
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
and processing centers will be encapsulated per needs to be of use to various
industries, but for the sake of a farmed-product example, food-grade sanitary
standards, including the initial extraction or separation methods used, for a
complete
yield maximization process. In the mining industry, the quality will match all
applicable standards for those specific products and will include embarking
grading
stations for product, for example, the "4 C's" of cut, clarity and color in
gemstones, or
carats, especially in diamonds. The models for coconut water, olive oil
extraction and
metallurgical applications are featured in Figure 2, as an example of the flow
of the
enclosed and controlled, self-sustaining transport processes.
The most-efficient use of this design is multi-story, with ascending walkways
and
elevators for raw material, livestock and product transport.
Continuing on with the example for dairy farms, inside the building will be an
automated carwash complete with separate chambers and custom-detection
systems for both vehicles and livestock, converted into a floating cow spa
using a
custom track design and a therapy chamber within, for livestock grooming and
therapy through light and sound waves. In the application of milking for
example, the
actual milking is followed by the process of a sound-activated receiver, which
prompts a slot to open for cow-relief after 5 minutes, on a terrain which is
constantly
fluctuating but still at relative level with the floor, lacking the need for
any raised
height, or constant reference points, not at all relative to precise angles or
geometry,
integrated with multi-level processing through saltwater-elevators and
ascensions.
These, however advanced, will be controlled by manual human actions, and
create
the need for labor, as opposed to fully automating an enterprise while
eliminating
jobs and ultimately resorting to consider a growing population in any region
as a kind
of problem. This does not include most equipment sanitation as that is best
done at
sterilizing temperatures, which employees cannot physically bear unless by the
use
of heatproof suits, which would still cause an internal irritation of some
kind, thereby
recognizing that any dirt or microbial film should ideally only be considered
cleaned-
off if ran through a reasonably warm food-grade sanitation process with either
high-
pressure water, scrubbers or brushes, as trial and error can prove this.
It is to be noted that the entire operation, relating to any material produced
in this
facility, from melting to molding, milking to packaging, wheat husk separation
to
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
bagging, or beef body-processing to charcuterie and even leather production
remains enclosed, quantifiably sterilized and monitored, with added upgraded
features, while treating, in this case, the milking process itself as an
enclosable food-
safe operation, with 2 food-grade style sanitations for cows before milking,
rendering
every approved farmer's product marketable, and most importantly, easily
certified
internationally for product and sanitation standards, including Non-GMO,
HACCP,
ISO, FDA, Kosher, Halal, Organic, or any other form of standard. All rooms
will be
separated by walls with separate electrical rooms, temperatures, air
filtration
systems and humidity controllers, to avoid any confusion while reducing wear
and
tear.
The temperatures used will conform to food storage temperatures, and will
require
employees to wear sealed full-body suits on which natural food-grade
sanitizers will
be sprayed to ensure employee sanitation, as relying on hand-washing
techniques
will not be sufficient due to air and surface pollution levels of the present
day and
age.
Featured in this turnkey enterprise example are the options for clients to
store their
cows at the designated feedlots and barns, and the renewable power sources
used
to run the facility through external storage houses, as energy is the usually
the main
cost, apart from herd maintenance and logistics. The animals are screened upon
entry, following being treated with nail-cutting services and inspections for
general
signs of health problems by a full-time veterinarian, before proceeding to an
automated car-wash, fitted with UV lights for spot detection, a post-drying
ultra-
sound screen or other form of defect-detection screen and shockwave therapy
gun
for the treatment of mastitis, which will be active after the washing stage
through the
said defect detection system. The car-wash follows the principles of food
sanitation,
spraying permissibly warm food-grade soap, water, and sanitizer on the
livestock,
including applying descending brushes that can be controlled manually or by
camera
and specific software integration, creating the need for an employee. This is
a
preparation for the next stage which is a standard livestock climatiz-ing room
with
suggested embarking docks for different water-channels on the "milking" line
which
is not exactly, but almost considerably at level with the floor due to
constant
fluctuation. This will lead to a product processing room, dispensing station
and
packaging lines all under one controlled, constant environment for each
section. This
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
fluctuating design was needed to make it versatile and applicable to most
industries
and materials, not only plants or animals. The climatization room features a
chamber
where one of many control rooms is housed, based on requirement. Here,
employees can control all grooming, milking and sanitizing operations. This
climatization room will be leading to the enclosed milking parlor, complete
with
individual sectional quarantine protocols (Figure 8), after which the
livestock are
transported to an exit channel into another sterile enclosure, before exposing
livestock to the outdoors, collectively, after sealing the inner door, to
prevent
contamination through foreign bacteria.
Ventilation and Air filtration systems will be installed to kill any harmful
bacteria
(99.9%) and identifiable odors in each, but especially 3 sections of the plant
(Milking,
processing and packaging). It is to be understood in this example that the
cheese
aging and making rooms will need varying humidity and temperature chambers
based on the type of cheeses being produced, as this solution should offer the
option
for making quantifiably comparable cheeses to those on grocery shelves, as an
added benefit not only to the lower-income dairy farmers, but the consumers
who
buy strictly imported products for this reason as well. The milking setup will
send milk
to a holding tank only if requested, for a maximum of 24 hours, as this is
cooling and
storage, and unless the milk is for processing or dispensing the same day, is
not
within the main functions of the design, but will be featured as a safety
measure in
case of emergencies. If not collected, the milk will be inspected once more
for quality
characteristics, added to the powdering facility, and be stored as powdered
milk for
pickup at a later date to prevent any unwanted bacteria or viruses from
entering or
even originating at the facility.
This design permits cheaper, open-top packaging, bottling and canning lines to
be
operating within the building, as the building will be mostly sterile, free of
bacteria,
CIP-enabled through water ball-jets at the walls of the ceiling, with a human-
controlled aerial spray system for spray-able machinery, cleaned by hosed
cleaning
methods if not able to be sprayed entirely, and will still be an enclosed
filling line. It
will be ideal for dairy processing under even the most critical of
circumstances in the
environment outside the building. This design recognizes that the vacuum
suction of
air also invites the surrounding air, either before, during, or after milking,
a
phenomenon not taken into consideration when looking at the world air
pollution
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
levels. Generally angled waste units float along the parlor, relatively near
the hind of
the cow with a sanitary funnel, possibly encapsulating a portion of the hind
with
vacuum suction, matter detection systems and CIP action involving high-
strength
soap, sterilizing water and sanitizer, thereby keeping the air free of waste
odors even
before the air filtration or ventilation systems. Enclosed milking and
packaging is
absolutely essential in underdeveloped regions with high pollution levels, or
developed regions with chemical pesticide use in both rural and urban
settlements.
The sound pollution factor is also taken into consideration with the
decimation
technology surrounding the positions on the water-channel, floating milking or
wool-
processing stations. All electrical facilities will be above ground, separate
for all
floors and rooms within the building, in parallel circuits so as not to have a
collective
malfunction of any kind. The main milk rooms in the process are separated by
sealed
glass walls, as all 3 rooms will be set to different environmental and climate
conditions, and still remain visibly monitored as well as technically. The
remaining
rooms do not require a see-through environment, and therefore are walled as
necessary, according to the building design for milk production.
As for the butchery application for example, all bovine-quarter processing
facilities,
charcuterie rooms and fermentation chambers for making Salami, Saucisson and
other fermented charcuterie products will be visible to the general public
through
glass walls. There will be a corridor along the side of all 3 facilities, for
clients to
review the processes while waiting for their respective products, as an added
aesthetic appeal, and motivation for bringing livestock, raw materials and
produce to
an energy-efficient automated but job-creating all in one station per
industry.
Alternatively, many industries could be paired together, stressing a greater
emphasis
on this design. Apart from a live-factory, this enterprise design may also
serve as a
tourist attraction, bringing in investment from many sources so as to generate
a
supplemental income from the said processes, and for example an added ice-
cream
parlor, cheese shop, or any application-related store. Mobile units for multi-
use,
strictly non-specialized, product and animal processing will be dispatched on
delivery
orders for enclosed farm to package solutions. Milk production will contain
the bowl
attachments described below as a means of achieving sanitary functions, and
the
facility will contain the mini-flash pasteurizers and quality filling
dispensers, featuring
a spa-shower facility. There are 2 more spa shower facilities, in a second
attachable
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
smaller movable room for the first sanitation, and a container-sized model.
This unit,
fitted to sanitary options, milk options and care options livestock in this
case, will
feature the capability to milk up to 5 cows at once, as the remainder of the
multi-use
transporter is to be used for many applications, some of which include
processing
and filling basic milk, cream and butter after a minimum of 1,000 liters is
collected,
not being limited to those numbers. In the event the farmer wishes to
commercially
operate in this remote method, he or she may do so by paying the difference in
a
small fee, fuel and labor costs per liter of milk extracted. Other
transportation
devices will include refrigerated milk production units will be enclosed truck-
mounted
sanitary systems running on renewable energy, whichever is available at the
time.
Contact surfaces will be 316L steel or higher grade, and will conform to
sanitary
standards, thereby improving the concept for other, already invented mobile
units. All
filling nozzles and joints, detection equipment, drills for mineral testing or
all wool
clippers and knives will be stored in a locked container, within a flight-case
style
sanitary compartment of the sanitary units, to prevent contamination and
theft.
The mechanical components described in this fully enclosed example of a self-
sustaining sanitary milking and packaging system are all seen as necessary,
according to the design, to ensure sanitary conditions while milking many herd
types
at once. After the milking has completed for each section, food-grade pipes
transport
the milk to a processing room, and ultimately the packaging stations and
dispensers.
Many technological advancements are offered in this design which are needed by
necessity to facilitate the method of business model design. The energy used
to
operate this machinery will be renewable. This includes any renewable energy
available at the location and time of planning. All of the said energies
currently exist,
and are renewable, not limiting the use to any currently discovered forms of
renewable energy. Hydro-electric automation would be the choice for areas with
free-flowing water, most likely regulated by the respective government of the
region.
Solar panels and wind-turbines are included in the design at the rooftops of
the
buildings, with individual charge controllers and inverter systems for each
building,
as to avoid any large accidents, and seclude any unlikely malfunctions to the
affected building only. The technology featured will be used to propel the
livestock in
this case in a general, un-precise direction on a safely mounted yet
constantly
fluctuating rolling rack, under a mounted floatation device, over a water-tank
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
equipped with jet propulsion systems to control the flow of the current,
thereby
eliminating the need to rely on expensive belts for any factory process. This
tank will
feature desalinated seawater as a means to achieve a salinity of around 10
times
that of seawater, to mimic the effect of floating on the dead-sea. Salt will
be placed at
the bottom, and in this design, there will be a sealed space between the
floating
panels, however the front of the water tank will feature, for livestock
applications, the
exit for airflow coming into the tank for the cows or wool-animals to undergo
an
aromatic spa exfoliation effect during the process, or sheep while being
transported
and shaved, without seeing the water underneath. This method is intended to
improve positivity in the livestock and possibly the overall process, which is
inevitable if positivity is improved. In this event, it will be considered an
added benefit
to the already said floating vessel, which is safely secured, and moves at a
considerably slow rate to prevent sea-sickness in the cow. In the event of a
solution
for enclosed milking for only one cow at a time, for example, in a cooler
region, the
same enclosed sanitary model will be employed in the solution best-fitted to
suit
those particular needs. The advantage of use of this model in colder regions
would
be that the cow gets sanitized safely, milked efficiently and leaves the
facility, warm
and dry.
This water tank will be designed in the desired general shape of the movement,
or in
a pool form, to accommodate for capacity, avoiding any circular designs, as
these
would require rotation, a completely separate phenomena altogether.
Examples
Example 1
[0010] As an example only, it can be considered that a cows entering (Figure
2) at
any point will exit at the next point on the star, as the flow of water and
stoppers
will only allow for a 2-directional movement, transporting the floatation unit
to the
next point only, unless prompted by the milk quality alert system or control
rooms.
The salinity of the water will be achieved through adding mainly residues of
desalinated seawater, and may be supplemented with standard pure salt (sodium
chloride) and minerals, depending upon availability and the specific needs for
safe transportation. The depth of the floating tank will be underground,
thereby
maintain a relatively ground level milking station, without any raised height.
The
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
depth will be decided according to a safety measure to allow for the
respective
livestock animals to stand up safely in the unlikely event that the floatation
device,
rolling rack and the mounted stall were to collapse simultaneously, through
either
an unlikely miscalculation, sabotage, or an act of God.
This moving improvement eliminates the need to wait for cows to move around
the entire building while being spaced apart by a large gap, as the extra
space is
required to account for multiple varying herd milking positions in imperfect
shapes,
for example an imperfect "V" shape per section, without any centralized unit
for
control. In this "V" section, the full cycle of milking a cow exists between 2
custom-designed lines moving in a general, uncalculated, constantly rising,
turning and descending direction to almost form a triangle, within a fraction
of the
space used in comparison to other large designs. This allows for dairy
businesses to offer multi-milking general locations for many herds at once, in
the
shape of a star, where each triangle of the star represents one herd's place
and
cycle of milking in the most basic configuration of bulk milking. The stars
will have
alternating entry and exit points, and depending upon the shape of these
parlors,
will have multiple control points for water flow, along with an emergency
master
control room for traffic control and speed monitoring at the corner of the
livestock
climatiz-ing room (Figure 8), which is a supplement to the already placed
control
units in multiple positions, not conforming to any rules of placement except
mounting to the ground in a general, applicable area. The upper levels will
feature relatively matching setup, will require saltwater-shafts for simple
elevators
and spiral pathway for cows to ascend into another portion of the building, to
the
carwashes and climatization rooms above, represented on the diagram below
with a semi-circle representing one floor's ascent, on a standard pathway with
ascending ground sections and pillars as support, as no risks can be taken
while
ascending cows to another level. As for the water shafts, these will be
constructed out of strong metallic frames surrounded by glass, filling with
water
as per requirement of the ascension of the group of products or animals.
Drowning is not a risk, as the water shafts, will only hold enough water to
raise
the elevator or set it on the ground in a gradual, water-related manner. Rapid
water drainage will be installed for emergencies, still taking into
consideration a
safe descent for the cargos or in this case, animals. As for 2 and 3-floor
designs,
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
the water tank pathways, which will be relatively cheap to construct, will
vertically
start at the basement, and extend throughout the facility in the desired
pathways
on above floors. This would be needed in the event of milking for example,
3,000
cows per day, in the form of a multi-level parking garage with simply
saltwater-
filling elevators. Wear and tear of elevators will be prevented through ship-
related
treatment methods as it is involving saltwater, the salts being derived from
the
sea primarily. Exit spiral pathways will be featured for upper floors. The
basic
model of this system will only feature the car-wash, climatization room, air
filtration, environment control, said attachments for improving stimulation,
cleaning and milking, the milking parlor, processing room and International
sanitary standard-conforming dispensing room, for the economical, practical
approach for some to sanitary milk dispensing. This unit will be, in most
cases, a
minimum of 7,000 square feet in size, and 24 feet in height, to accommodate
for
ventilation and safe enclosed processing of animals.
As for the exit line on the incomplete triangle, the point of exit will be
used at the
required general but fluctuating direction to transport the quarantined cows
by
water-channel to the general location of the enclosed quarantine room in the
event of a milk quality alert. At no point is there a central control unit,
axis points,
electro-magnet, swivel, or rotating platform as this would be considered an
inefficiency in this particular design. The parlor will be spaced out to
accommodate for the building limitations at hand in the respective region, and
will
not rely on any form of magnetism. The control units will be installed close
to the
operation, excluding centralized locations, as all operations are controlled
individually for each imperfect "triangle", thereby explaining the lack of
relation to
centralized axis points. The quarantine room will consist of 2 primary
sections,
with multiple rooms for the event that every herd's milk is of a questionable
nature, which is unlikely. One section is for cows, and one section is for
milk that
is quarantined from those specific cows, through a set of quarantine pipes
installed at the milking stations at one per "V" or herd section. All
applicable
apparatus in the already developed milking stalls will be upgraded with an
automatic CIP washing system, as sanitization is best done by machinery. The
sterilizing hot water at varying temperatures per application will be pumped
through for 17 seconds, sourced from the water treatment system, thereby
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
conforming to and possibly going above and beyond regular food sanitation
standards. Most aspects of the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance from the FDA will be
visibly confirmed upon production, and this is true for the process and
apparatus
as well. This apparatus will conform to most 3A sanitary standards as well,
will
feature a custom certified logo from the facility on the packaging, and will
be
ideally certified for use in North America and Europe easily upon request,
with
quality food and medicine-grade steel in this case as a unique upgrade on
contact parts.
Milk-extracting apparatus is not the aim of the claimant of this business
model, as
it is a raw material to dispatch operation, not limited to a dairy operation.
Any
apparatus developed is for the ease factor in constructing a fully illustrated
method to show the unique process. The cow comfort method in this custom-
shaped design will be improved with a food grade plastic bowl with 4 inserts
for
cow teats for example, housed as a securely-installed overhead attachment,
with
2 basic pulleys to lower the stretchable attachment manually, securely
covering
the cow's teat, with a rubber gasket seal on the bowl top, bottom and center,
in a
dual attempt to avoid spillage of water, and to shock-proof the already heat
resistant, heavy duty but lightweight bowl. It is dotted with LED lights in an
attempt to target the epilethial cells and myoepilethial cells to relax the
udder, and
create a willingness in the cow to be milked. This apparatus will be pulled
back
and retracted by human-controlled actions, involving a pure human visual
aiming
technique and application, which is performed either manually through
detachment, positioning behind the leg, and attachment (with 1 or 2 employees
to
speed up the process), or by the employees in the control room, via camera and
joystick, thereby confirming that every cow will need a human interaction of
some
form when it comes to milking, recognizing that automation and innovations in
the
milking industry should create employment opportunities, and not eliminate the
need for employees. The other benefit of this device is that during milking,
the
teats are no longer being squeezed directly by any machinery, but merely feel
the
vacuum pressure and pulsation compression from underneath, as they are
covered by FDA approved food-safe neoprene rubber at the milker contact
points,
conforming to traditional cow comfort standards, and eliminating injury or
udder
wear and tear complaints as a result of machine-milking. Similar methods may
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
have been invented, however it is the LED stimulation, bowl design and
functionality that are being claimed. LED face masks are known to alleviate
stress, grow acne-fighting bacteria and firm up the skin. Using this method of
stimulation, the cow's milk secreting and teat contracting cells are targeted
through light. Overall udder health will also significantly improve, as this
treatment
follows the LED and shockwave therapy that the animal goes through in the
carwash.
A second bowl is installed next to the first one on the overhead bar, attached
to
the same pole which holds the air-compression device for vacuum pressure,
outside the milking area on a vessel which moves along the shape of the
parlor.
The bowls will retract and extend to either side of the cow. They may also
serve
as attachments to any milking device. This bowl will, before milking, enclose
the
udder, fill up with warm water, submerge the udder, and blow pressured air
into
the bowl without spilling as a means of creating a cleaning movement through
bubbles and water pressure induced by air, thereby eliminating the need for
including mechanical brushes, as they are mainly used for an application
without
this apparatus. Shaving of udders will be mandatory before entering the
facility.
The side of both of these bowls will be dotted with a series of LED lights as
a
form of stimulation, targeting the myoepithelial cells for contraction, and
the
epithelial cells for secretion of milk, thereby enhancing the milking
experience for
both the livestock and the dairy farmer. These bowls will be equipped with a
CIP
cleaning method, by water-jet inserts at the optimal positions for least
wastage of
water, drainage, and an air-drying function, thereby conforming to food-safe
practices. All electronics will be run on renewable energy stored from the
solar
panels and windmills atop the buildings in the most basic design.
A Solar-powered feeding system will be installed outside the building with a
separate power storage unit, where the feed will be processed by integrated
disinfection through sterilizing tunnel, balers, pelletizers and grinding
mills,
transported by an encased conveyor belt to the top of the facility, below the
ceiling, according to fire codes and building regulations. Standard seals,
collapsible tubing, blowers and gaskets will ensure that no foreign materials
enter
the building. Once the conveyors safely transport the feed on to the elevated
conveyor, natural already existent milking catalysts, sugar, and Himalayan
pink
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
salt will be dispensed onto the feed conveyor in due proportion as per order
of
the wagyu cattle ranchers or dairy farmers for their respective herds, before
being
pushed by triggered side panels into chutes that directly drop the feed to the
moving feeding trough, installed along the respective "milking" stations. An
air
blowing system separates the feed as it is dispensed from the chutes without
spillage, and an employee is needed to screen and trigger filters through pull-
down rope mechanism to send unprocessed pieces of feed back to the feed
processing system via sterile pump. The reason why feed is screened and
process in a different room is because the biological hazards in feed are not
the
same as in animals, should not be mixed and need to be looked at differently.
Stored salt bricks are a primary source of drying properties of the room,
including
the enclosed operation needed for feed guarantee. Again, the creation of
certain
jobs is a key component of this facility's integral values.
Individual farmers and smaller operations may well have less-intricate
versions
which will still operate on the same principle of self-sustaining, floating
sanitary
extraction to dispensing and packaging solutions within an eco-friendly
sterile
environment, conformable to sanitary standards. Farmers can now have a less
costly-to-maintain product that they can safely sell in the market, without
any
International certification issues, provided they also make the environmental
changes needed for their barns and buildings, in an attempt to encourage
energy-efficient sanitation within the specific region, and ultimately all
regions
which produce milk, which lack the environmental hygiene aspects of food-safe
milking.
Example 2
This milk will always be free of questionable odors, as a prime example of a
common problem that can be avoided by use of this method.
The first point of entry for cows will be an automated car-washer and dryer,
with a
section customized to cow sanitation, and a separate building for vehicles, so
as
to use the same water source with double the benefits. This automated car-
wash,
which is already in existence, will be fitted with UV lighting on the floors
for spot
detection in the form of a car spray booth, and the mentioned floatation
vessel
design to safely float the cows through on separated floating boards on
saltwater,
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
as opposed to guiding them with sticks or prongs. The cows will not be able to
see the water as there will be no gaps whatsoever in the carwash, to account
for
water level. The regular touch-less car-wash design will be integrated into
this all
in one facility, so as to decrease the time needed for brushes in this method
of
sanitation, as some cows will have hard dirt stuck to the exterior of their
hides,
and the brushing may cause an inverse reaction as it pulls on the dirt, which
is
stuck to the hair of the animal. A soapy sponge buffer will be added as a dirt-
removing measure.
The cows are transported to the collection and climatization room (Figure 8),
where they are dispatched onto the correct milking line (Figure 8). This room
also
has a section for the control room and panel, where employees can decide the
amount of milking stations needed for the number of cows, and their complete
cycle until the final exit. The mechanism of the aid in automatic cup removal
will
be carried out via sound-triggered pulses strictly in relation to timing, and
will not
be based on intervals. Cows undergo milking for an average of 5 minutes, and
this will be integrated into the design, without having to test for optimal
milking
times, as the most likely result of over-milking will be colostrum in the
milk, during
the initial months of milking. Furthermore, the timing can be changed as per
the
request of certain farmers who prefer longer milking times, however the design
will be based on 5 minutes per cow, and no more, no less, unless the liquid
flow
alarm has detected milk to be considerably lower in select cows immediately,
in
which case the acoustic receptor will pick up the triggered frequency
transmitted
by the sonic transmitter, placed next to the liquid level meter, as an added
safety
function. This will be an acoustically triggered loss of less-than-full vacuum
pressure via pressure-release pop-out cylinder at the claw piece, which will
free
the vacuum pressure on the apparatus, without any strong pulling action. An
employee can pull off the milking cups, fix the apparatus back in place, or
wait for
the cycle to finish, and dislodge all attachments so they retract to their
original
position overhead and await CIP functions, to ensure the next animal does not
pick up any of the previous animal's germs, if any. This will again be useful
in
milking many herds at once, and manage line-ups efficiently with freshly
sanitized
functions, the cost of which is only a fraction of running similar functions
on
commercial electricity without the use of the combined mechanisms featured in
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
this design. All water will be recycled once, except the water for waste
disposal.
This will be disposed of in an efficient manner.
The protocols for automated quarantine will be integrated with an automatic
override function, which halts the production of milk from the cows which
caused
the alert, sends both the cows and milk to the quarantine room for further
screening, before activating the CIP function of the milking or processing
apparatus. All sections of the milking parlor in this example are fitted with
separate quarantine control pipes with CIP integration, and this eliminates
the
risk of a central contamination of all milk. Integrated traffic lights are
placed along
the line, to control floating cow traffic between the parlor, the car-wash,
the exits,
and the quarantine room. Once the milk is screened, the cows are lead outside
through 1 of 2 sterile exit chambers (Figure 2), to prevent any contamination
while leaving the facility. In the event the milk conforms to select
standards, it will
be immediately dispensed through a separate nozzle and offered to the farmer
with a quarantine stamp. All quarantined cows will be given a prescribed
medical
treatment from a veterinarian at the farmer's expense, complete with 2 weeks
of
regular milk quality checks with positive results before they can return to
the
facility for milking. This design will need to accommodate for possible
contamination, and quality checks are important to guarantee the integrity of
the
said design. An example of similar applications would be for producing
leather,
where extensive sanitation and tanning processes need to be employed at
different levels, once again creating the demand for tradesmen, engineers,
machinists and welders on-site, including the employees.
After proceeding onto the water-floatation line, the cows are milked and
transported in a generally aimed manner (Figure 1), where there is no true
stable
floorboard or direction, within reason, due to wave fluctuations and pressure
jets
below, dispensing both water and air. The dispatch and return of livestock can
be
customized in any general uncalculated direction, as the movement and
fluctuation is not at a constant, and neither is any of the mounting
positions, even
with no water flow beneath, as the movement is based on when a certain weight
threshold embarks onto the floatation vessel. The use of specific terminology
is
not relevant here, as the claimant is transparently specifying applications
for milk
if needed, not necessarily. In the event that terminology would govern the
actual
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
claims based on the words in the description, all use of the terms for milk
applications can be substituted and considered as gemological treatment and
dispatch applications, with all certifications being changed to International
gemology and GIA standards, to illustrate the example of the enclosed raw
material to dispatch process. Similarly, the deriving of different items from
olives,
pomegranates, dates, figs, and all varieties of produce can also be
substituted
with equivalent certification standards, making this a universal encapsulated
transport industrialization design. General multi-directional progression is
in order
to accommodate for breed-specific and herd-specific requirements, for example,
milking 35 cows and 32 goats simultaneously, all belonging to one dairy
farmer,
without any confusion the logistics and whereabouts of the group of livestock
during milking, along, for example, a generally grid-shaped or star-shaped
milking
arrangement, without true angles in deliverance of cows. There is also an
arrangement for targeting any single cow's exit, by simply opening the rubber
flaps instead of steel frames of the stalls, which do not confine, but
visually let the
cows know there is only one general direction in which the floater moves, only
suggesting a general path. This flexible rubber wall is untightened, and lets
the
cow simply walk out of the system safely onto the ground, before exiting at
will
through the doors, a human, plant, animal, or substance exiting system of
universal applications. There will be no targeting and monitoring of any
single
cow electronically, nor will there be any recording of milking information in
relation to the next milking, as every process on every day will be treated as
a
brand new one, dealing with specific group herds as the target collectively,
and
not one specific cow, to prevent any defects in the quality of milk obtained,
thereby also recognizing that every experience will be slightly different,
based on
the cow's mood, temperatures and overall health, among many variables. Milking
programs can be priced at the control room, and dealt out through one or many
sales agents. Before commitment, all necessary health-related tests for
contamination will be performed, in order to ensure that a relatively "safe"
hide,
plant, gemological find, or in the case of the example, animal is entering the
facility, even after washing and drying. It is to be understood by obvious
possible
uses of this water-transportation method for industrialization in a controlled
space,
that it is an invention clearly not solely based on the idea of sterile dairy
farming,
but many industrializations within the general scope of an enterprising
business
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
solution to key problems in manufacturing environments, pertaining to
expensive
deliverance of cargos, items or organic matter, and generally open
environments.
Similar facilities have been built, but not based on the versatile nature of a
universal, self-sustaining, jet-propelled water-transportation, which is just
a small
aspect of the backbone of this solution to the above mentioned phenomena.
Following the entry, cleaning and milking, the cows are transported to the
exit
chamber, and the milk is sent to the processing room for immediate
pasteurization and homogenization (Figure 8) unless raw milk is requested
through a separate filling chamber not within reach of possible contamination
to
other rooms. Following will be the next room, involving direct cream
separation,
butter churning, yogurt making, powdered milk production, and also cheese
making in separate rooms, based on the yield percentage of each product that
the customer has decided at the start of the transaction. A small collection
room
adjacent to this processing station will be for dispensing and packaging raw
milk,
for the farmers who request it (Figure 8). Cheese-making and aging facilities
will
follow only specific cheese-making protocols, making the quality of cheese
comparable to well-known cheeses, as well as certifiable by sanitary
standards.
After processing, the milk flows through the appropriate piping system into
the
next room for bottling, cup filling, and dairy packaging solutions as
requested. As
for palletization, de-palletization and case packing, these will be performed
in the
same facility by separation through rubber flap doors for maintaining
temperature,
and dispatched accordingly for bulk milking orders, while bulk cans will be
sealed.
This is because the preferred method of milk purchasing in rural areas is
still via
the traditional milk man, and this seal guarantees that the facility has
fulfilled it's
sanitary obligations, and has dispensed a whole product, with no addition of
water or chemicals. The entire facility will be fitted with air filtration,
climate
controlling devices, and fans to accommodate, which will also run on the said
renewable energy sources. In areas of extreme heat, there will be a cooling
effect,
and for colder regions, there will be a slight heating effect in the facility,
especially
in the washing station and climatizing room, while keeping all operations
significantly under 15 degrees Celsius for elimination of bacteria that can
survive
at 15.6 degrees (staphylococcus), except for the use in various charcuterie
products, for example, the requirement of "staph" in making Saucisson, a
French-
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
style sausage. Listeria however, remains a food-related concern at
refrigerated
temperatures, and therefore will need to be prevented through subzero
temperatures under -1.5 degrees Celsius, for select products. The air
filtration
systems will be pumping out a natural or organic food-grade air sterilizer in
the
case of organic facilities, and will be supplemented with aircrafts, spraying
organic product with FDA approved sanitary nozzles, controlled by remote
control.
The outdoor version of these aircraft will be a much larger unit, and will
conform
to the laws of airspace. This further stresses the need for all apparatus to
be
simultaneously functioning, well-manned, and having the need to be setup in
parallel circuits, meaning installing different fire-proof power facilities
for each
room, as this features minimal risk of total breakdown, which is not
considered as
permissible by the design.
An example of the shape changing would be that the star shape appears, due to
lack of space or simply requirement, in the general shape of a river,
including all
general shapes moving in a general direction, simply constructed with
generally
diagonal lines, who's starting points will constantly fluctuate with water
movement.
Only generally-directed lines, colliding pools and turning points are
featured,
based on visual aspects, and the floaters will be on salt-water, in order to
make
the turn in the desired direction, as the flow along the remainder of the line
will be
generally straight, but still constantly fluctuating. Trial and error for the
right
pressures in the propelling jets will be the determining factor for optimal
movement. This may limit the aesthetic layout, however it will conform to
permissible space-saving techniques. It is understood that this design
specifically
illustrates a different approach featuring the uncalculated angle aspect of
the
water floatation and jet propulsion system, easily adaptable to any general
shape,
timed to easily create sectional flower, herb, grain, gem, metal or herd
stations
within a section, complete with quarantine protocols and the need for
employees
in many industries, thereby encouraging classic human resource-related
business functions, where employees would be from a general background and
be considered for employment, as opposed to creating a system where new jobs
and specializations in education need to be sought. Transportation is
traditionally
a human operation, and as for milking, the attachments are left as natural as
possible, incorporating the time-saving techniques, as the remainder of the
milk
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
in some regions is believed to be for the calves, including the colostrum,
which
generally does get accessed within the first 5 minutes. This is the basing
factor
for the process of less-than-partial vacuum-pressure release. The master
electrical cabinet and noise-producing machinery such as pumps and
compressors will be placed at the ground level in a separate room for each
section, elevated to ensure conformity to electrical standards, and so as not
to
spook the livestock. The vacuum pumps will be placed on poles moving along
with the general positions of the item, or cow.
Industrial Applicability
Producers and manufacturers from all industries can make full use of the
transport
system for materials, and the unique design for business functions, relating
to
producing the right yield percentage of each product which is programmed at
the
start of the process, in a sterile and enclosed environment. Another example
can be
related to a computer manufacturing facility, where external or internal hard
drives
and other components need to be constructed and repaired in such closed
environments as the surrounding air should be sterile as well. Pairing this
with the
dry facility entertaining a cost-efficient transport system based on renewable
energy
makes this a viable solution for enterprising establishments in general. This
model
also stresses that more of the quarterly budget can go towards employee
salaries
and benefits, as opposed to seeing those salaries and employees as costs, and
not
valuable components of the process. Furthermore, when it comes to heavy
materials,
the use of the transportation system will make them relatively lighter when
generally
directing the vessels on any intended path. As an example of keeping all
controllable
operations provably sanitary, controlled and enclosed, the description will
illustrate
the example of an aid to dairy farming operations in this version of the
model. It is to
be understood that all of the above applications, including many farmed
products
that are not mentioned will be applicable to the claims of "universal sterile
farm
packaging via treated water-dispatch and transport". The model represents the
ideology that air quality, humidity levels and temperature, among other
factors all
affect the preparation and safe dispensing of any farm product, in a self-
sustaining
enclosed manner that has not been addressed before for the entire process. All
nozzles, pipes and fittings will ideally comply with and go beyond
International
CA 3075365 2020-03-12
sanitary standards with AlS1300 or SUS316L steel as a minimum requirement,
with
employee conformity to standards such as HACCP protocols with organic cleaning
agent-sprayed, fully encapsulating body-suits. All sanitations and also
preparations
will be done according to food-grade operations, derived through thorough
knowledge of both Canadian and US standards. An example of such a phenomena
is presented in regards to charcuterie, where brine-cured beef bacon
(considered
skin-off, as there is no skin consumed on beef) will contain the USA-style 108
pprn
(parts per million) of nitrates, instead of 120 ppm, as this is a lesser legal
limit.
Surfaces will be soaped, rinsed, and sanitized according to Canadian standards
in
regards to additions of food-grade cleaning agents to the cleaning tanks. Any
combination is acceptable, and this is the preliminary design, to make for the
most
food-safe facility, both for consumption and sanitary benchmarks, featuring a
mark of
it's own on products as certified in relation to the facility, as it would be
needed to
open up a separate certification for each industry of such production houses.
Reference Signs List
[0011] After proceeding onto the water-floatation line, the cows are milked
and
transported in an generally aimed manner (Figure 1), where there is no true
stable floorboard or direction, within reason, due to wave fluctuations and
pressure jets below, dispensing both water and air.
[0012] Following the entry, cleaning and milking, the cows are transported to
the exit
chamber, and the milk is sent to the processing room for immediate
pasteurization and homogenization (Figure 8) unless raw milk is requested
through a separate filling chamber not within reach of possible contamination
to
other rooms.

There is no reference to magnets, swivels, axis points, rotary mechanisms or
anything based on stationary geometry. Moving water, jets, bubbles and the
salinity of water will all hinder any directional calculations as it will rely
partially on
a bumper-car effect. The milking setup is a means of transparently
illustrating that
there are many uses to salt-water transportation within facilities, and dairy
farming can be one of them. Furthermore, the rotational design does not fit
with
floatation, as it would make the cows sea sick, and the tilt would cause a
collapse
of the aquarium-style walls. In order to show an example, many technologies
were thought of while thinking of the right industry, and if there is any
issue,
communication is welcomed, amending is not a problem if rightfully claimed.
