  • Patent number: 5338174
    Abstract: A displacement and/or actuating force drive device for an injection molding machine, for example, for actuation of the push-type screw of a plasticizing extruder or the closing unit of an injection mold, comprises generally a hydraulic stroke drive, in tandem in rows or in series with a mechanical stroke spindle system driven by a brushless three-phase servomotor type electromotor. The motor is associated with a positioning regulation device dependent upon the closing and opening position of the injection mold. The hydraulic stroke drive can be actuated from a pressure regulation circuit by a servo valve. The circuit depends upon the closing force between the two mold halves of the injection mold.

  • Patent number: 5330342
    Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a tube-like preform having a longitudinal wall with a variable cross-section for blow molding of a hollow body from a thermoplastic material, includes a tubular die having a variable exit opening, and a collar die having a recess and movable into engagement with and away from the tubular die, the preform being produced by ejecting of the thermoplastic material from the exit opening of the tubular die into the recess of the collar die while moving tubular die, with controlling a speed of movement of the collar die and a cross-section of the exit opening of the tubular die in such a manner that larger and smaller cross-section of the exit opening correspond to speed rate of the collar die, so that a thickness of the wall of the producible preform changes from peaks to valleys in a wave-like manner to form the variable cross-section of the wall.

  • Patent number: 5257691
    Abstract: An arrangement for transferring castable material without pipes or conduits from a feeding point to a destination, particularly in underground mining. The arrangement includes a driven centrifugal wheel with blades. The centrifugal wheel is radially open and is surrounded in the manner of a jacket by an endless housing belt which is guided on guide rollers. The portion of the centrifugal wheel which is radially open is bordered by the guide roller which causes the housing belt to contact the centrifugal wheel and by the guide roller which raises the housing belt from the centrifugal wheel. The material is radially discharged in a concentrated manner through this radially open portion. The material is supplied axially to the centrifugal wheel through a feed tube and enters through a discharge opening of the feed tube on the vertical level of the blades into the centrifugal wheel.

  • Patent number: 5246599
    Abstract: In a treatment or processing or sewage sludge in the sense of recycling, where the sewage sludge is to begin with dried (T), subsequently converted (K) under anaerobic conditions at approximately 250.degree. to 350.degree. C. and finally is sintered at at least 1250.degree. C. in successive steps, it is proposed to perform all process steps including the conveyance of the commodity to be processed between the individual processing steps successively in continuous passage in a closed system. Only the vapors are removed in this system in the drying stage (T) and the conversion gases in the conversion stage (K) and they are condensed; the heat quantity contained in the flue gas generated during the sintering process (S) is utilized for heating to begin with the conversion stage (K) and after that the drying stage (T).

  • Patent number: 5246623
    Abstract: A method for the production of electrically conductive tin-IV-oxide of fine particle size is disclosed. Pursuant to the method, tin oxide and/or tin oxide hydrate is precipitated on a dihydroxy-tin-dichloride solution containing fluoride ions as doping agents. The precipitation is accomplished by adding alkali metal hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonate or ammonium carbonate and the tin oxide and/or tin oxide hydrate is separated from the aqueous medium. The separated product is then calcined. The invention also discloses the use of the fluoride-doped tin-IV-oxide by adding it to the various vehicles.

  • Patent number: 5197912
    Abstract: In order to change defective buoys on the net line of a fishing net and to change the spacing between the buoys threaded onto the net line, it has hitherto been necessary to release the net line from the net and to re-secure it to the net after re-arranging the buoys, thus to re-tie it. This is a very time-consuming task, which can now be avoided by use of the novel buoy. This novel buoy consists of two identical portions, thus of two halves, which engage against the net line and which can be assembled together effortlessly at the desired location for the complete buoy. To connect the halves, a clamping member disposed to surround the barrel-shaped buoy in a groove can be used.

  • Patent number: 5139671
    Abstract: An appratus for treating medium consistency pulp in connection with different treatment apparatuses, such as washers. According to the prior art the treatment of pulp, for example, the washing process, starts at a low consistency, approximately 1-3% so that it is necessary always to dilute pulp before washing, whereby the water consumption of the plant increases and the need of power in, for example, pumping and in the treatment generally increases. The present invention makes it possible to treat medium consistency pulp, because the feeding means is able to spread the pulp as an even layer on the perforated surface of the treating apparatus.
