Abstract: In a method for reconditioning a returnable barrel of sheet metal, that is used initially as a bung barrel having a barrel wall and a top cover with a fill and discharge bung and fixedly connected to the barrel wall, and is to be reused as a lid barrel with a bung lid or bung-free lid connected to an outwardly rolled opening rim of the barrel wall via a clamping ring closure after removal of the top cover, wherein the barrel wall has an upper portion forming a barrel neck recessed or tapered relative to the outwardly rolled opening rim of the barrel wall, wherein the top cover of the initial bung barrel has a rolled outer rim placed on the outwardly rolled opening rim of the barrel wall and connected to the outwardly rolled opening rim by lock-seaming and welding, the top cover of the bung barrel is circularly cut concentrically to a longitudinal center axis of the barrel at a transition between a plate of the top cover and an upwardly extending inner rim of the top cover to separate the plate of the top cove

Abstract: A press-fitting connector for plastic composite pipes, comprised of an inner plastic layer, an outer plastic layer, and a middle metal layer, has a support member receiving the end of a plastic composite pipe. The support member has an outer collar having a first end face facing the plastic composite pipe and a second end face facing away from the plastic composite pipe. An insulating plastic ring is positioned at the first end face. A press-fit sleeve secures the pipe end on the support member. The outer collar has two diametrically opposed cutouts. The insulating plastic ring is a curved spring washer with two convexly curved and two concavely curved portions, wherein the convexly curved portions have monolithic, axis-parallel tongues engaging the cutouts of the circumferential rib. The axis-parallel tongues in the end position of the plastic composite pipe project partially from the cutouts past the second end face of the outer collar.

Abstract: A process for reconditioning a standardized tight head drum for re-use as either a tight-head drum or a wide-neck drum. The standardized tight head drum has an upper head drum welded to the drum body at a seam. This drum is reconditioned by separating the upper drum head from the drum along a cut line at a location below the seam. The cut edge is smoothed and sized and the interior of the drum is cleaned. For re-use as a tight head drum, an upper head having a fill plug and a vent plug is welded onto the cut edge of the drum. For re-use as a wide-neck drum, a neck ring is welded onto the cut edge and a wide-neck drum cover is placed on the neck ring. The reconditioned tight head and wide-neck drums have the same nominal volume and the same height and diameter dimensions as the tight head drum prior to reconditioning.

Abstract: A pallet container (1), which is used as a single-use or multi-use container for the transport and storage of liquids of various types, has an outer jacket (2) made of criss-crossing vertical and horizontal lattice bars (3, 4) made of metal, a support insert (5), which can be used in the outer jacket, made of smooth wall parts made of plastic to support a replaceable, thin-walled inner container (6) made of plastic with a rectangular outline and rounded corners, which has a filler neck (7) that can be sealed by a screw cap (8) and a drain neck (9) to connect a drain valve (10). A sealing cover (11), mounted on the lattice jacket (2) and the support insert (5), is made of plastic or sheet metal. A steel pallet (12) that can be handled by a forklift truck or a storage and retrieval unit for high-bay warehouses or the like, supports the inner container (6), the support insert (5), and the lattice jacket (2).

Abstract: A sheet metal container (1) used as a retainable or nonretainable container for transport and storage of liquids has a fill neck (3) which can be sealed with a cap (4) and another neck (5) in the bottom area for connecting a discharge and flushing cock, and an external lattice jacket (6) of metal. A pallet (9) is formed as a flat bottom pan (10) from sheet for form-fittingly accommodating the sheet metal container (1) which is equipped with a drainage bottom. The sheet metal container (1) is welded together from a jacket (11), a bottom part (12) and a cover (13). The jacket (11), bottom part (12) and cover (13) of the container (1) are produced with a double wall of composite construction consisting of a thin inner sheet of corrosion-proof special steel and an outer sheet of normal steel with a thickness greater than that of the inner sheet. It is possible to produce the container (1) of clad sheet metal with a thin inner layer of special steel and a thicker outer layer of normal steel.
