In the manufacturing processes, an Entolator is used to explode all insects, larvae, and bugs. Anything you find inside the packaging usually comes from storage locations in distribution or inside your own home.

I spent a few years in very high speed packaging machinery for cereal-grain products like oatmeal, grits, and cream of wheat, (Farina).

1,200 pouches a minute.

Entoleter is a name I'd hoped to never see again after I left the corn wet mill.

We had 6 of them, I can't recall which model, but the rotor was about 3 foot in diameter.

they were normally problem-free, but the way they were installed in the building made them a nightmare to work on

We brought a rotor down for a pin change, and the guy who rebuilt it used 4 pins to keep the discs separated while pulling the old pins off. He forgot to remove one of the pins when he put it back together. When they started that machine back up the whole building started shaking.
