2794. ----- [ROELEN, O.] (Ruhrchemie, A. G.). [Distributing Water-Containing Masses.]  German Patent 718,509, Feb. 19, 1942 (Cl. 12 g-1.01).  Chem. Abs., vol. 37, 1943, p. 1629.

            Masses, that in spite of a high H2O content have a stiff consistency and under pressure separate into a liquid and a solid phase, are pressed through thin perforated plates.  Immediately upon their passing the perforations, the threadlike mass is further treated in a manner preventing the separation into a liquid and a solid.
