Abstract: A separator drum having a vertical rotation axis and an inflow line for a material which is to be processed by centrifuging is driven by a drive apparatus via a drive spindle. The drive spindle is rotated by a motor designed as a direct drive and having a stator and a rotor. The drive apparatus is arranged in a drive housing having a motor housing section designed as an explosion-protected structure that is encapsulated in a pressure-resistant manner and in which the motor is accommodated.

Abstract: A separator arrangement includes a drum with a vertical axis and which is rotatably mounted in a hooded area and placed on a rotatable drive spindle. The arrangement also includes a sealed drive area containing one or more or all of the components of a separator drive, and a pump that generates negative pressure in the sealed drive area relative to the surroundings outside of the drive area.

Abstract: A slurry containing water, carbonate-containing pigment, and dispersant consisting of 25-70 % by weight of agglomerated carbonate-containing pigment, 0.1-1.0% by weight of a dispersant, the balance being water up to 100%, can be used advantageously in papermaking as well as in the paint and lacquer industry. In a novel process for agglomerating ultra-fine particles in slurries the slurry is subjected to heat treatment until the agglomeration is complete.

Abstract: A coating color comprising 28-51% by weight of water, 43-64% by weight of carbonate-containing pigment with a specific particle distribution and a particle diameter of 0.18-0.28 .mu.m and a specific surface area of 19-26 M.sup.2 /g and 6-8% by weight of conventional binding agents and additives may be employed with advantage for coated papers. The coating color is produced by wet milling of the carbonate-containing pigment without the addition of dispersing or wetting agents at a solids concentration of 30-20% by weight in an agitating ball mill, subsequent concentration, re-dispersal and the addition of binding agents, water and additives.

Abstract: Carbonate containing mineral fillers, and more particularly natural and/or precipitated calcium carbonates, characterized by the following grain size distribution:______________________________________ <61 .mu.m: 100% <56 .mu.m: 95-100% <40 .mu.m: 90-100% <20 .mu.m: 48-95% <10 .mu.m: 15-52% <5 .mu.m: 9-28% <1 .mu.m: 0-10% d.sub.50 : 9.6-20.5 .mu.m ______________________________________may with advantage be employed as mineral fillers, preferably as matting agents and in a more especially preferred fashion for aqueous paint systems.

Abstract: A CaCO.sub.3 -talc coating pigment slurry consists of the following four co-ground components:a. 24 to 64% by weight CaCo.sub.3,b. 5 to 48% by weight talc,c. 20 to 40% by weight H.sub.2 O, andd. an adjuvant combination consisting of0.05 to 1.4% by weight of at least one commercially available grinding acid and0.05 to 1.2% by weight of at least one commercially available dispersing agent,wherein the mixed pigments have an average statistical particle diameter of 0.4 .mu.m to 1.5 .mu.m. That coating pigment slurry can be used to special advantage to prepare a composition for coating papers for gravure printing.

Abstract: A method for the production of natural and/or synthetic carbonates, and more particularly calcium carbonates, with a high BET/N.sub.2 specific surface area of over 20 m.sup.2 /g, and more particularly of between 20 to 50 m.sup.2 /g, utilizes an inherently known mill such as an agitating ball mill. The carbonates in an aqueous suspension are wet ground and the entire suspension is recirculated; that is, subjected to additional wet grinding, until the final product has the desired specific surface area. Furthermore, the solids concentration during the entire duration of the wet grinding operation is maintained at no more than 24% by weight. The products of the method have surprisingly valuable properties and can be employed in the plastics industry, in sealants, in the rubber industry, in printing inks, in cosmetics, in pharmaceuticals, in cigarette paper, in wood varnishes, in high gloss paper and in plastisols.

Abstract: Carbonate-containing mineral fillers, pigments and similar materials are disclosed which are characterized by a combination of four features. These carbonate-containing materials can be used in particular in dyes, paints, paper pulps, paper coatings and plastics to great advantage. In addition, a method of preparing these carbonate-containing materials is disclosed.

Abstract: A material especially adapted for incorporation in a coating composition, for example, as a secondary pigment, and characterized in having corrosion inhibiting properties. The material consists of finely particulate material on which is coated a film of fatty amine or fatty amine salt. The material coated on the particles is characterized in having a high area to volume ratio and the properties thereof in respect of inhibiting corrosion are thereby enhanced. The particulate material is advantageously natural crystalline calcium carbonate.
