Abstract: A cotton bud with a rod-like grip body and with a bud body that is arranged at least at one free end of the grip body. The rod-like grip body is a biologically degradable extrusion body, and includes natural fibers embedded into a material matrix.

Abstract: The production plant for bulk goods essentially includes a feed side for raw material, a processing unit for the material and a removal side for the processed products. In plants with a high output, the individual units of the plant run at a very high speed, causing wear and, as a result, disruptions to the process. It is therefore the object to step down the plant units running at a particularly high speed without thereby reducing the output. In the illustrative case of a plant for producing cotton sticks, this object is achieved by reducing the speed on the primary side and increasing the loading. When the speed of the primary chain is halved and the loading of blanks and wads is doubled, the same output is achieved with a significantly more moderate speed.

Abstract: A device for separating textile parts such as cotton pads out of a textile sheet formation. The device includes at least one first tool component with a receiver opening for receiving separated-away textile parts, at least one second tool component cooperating with the first tool component and having a separating tool, for separating away textile parts out of the textile sheet formation. The first and the second tool components are designed movable to one another and relative to one another for separating away textile parts. The first tool component is designed as a die with a first cutting edge encompassing the die opening in a closed manner and the second tool component is designed as a working punch with a second cutting edge.
