  • Patent number: 4651788
    Abstract: In order to be able to simultaneously fill with a liquid, gaseous or solid flowable medium, without it being necessary to measure and monitor the filling volume or weight of each container, the filling plant has a pipeline system (10) for conveying the medium to be filled with a plurality of drawing-off lines (13, 113, 213) leading to the filling valves (20, 120, 220) and in which are arranged volume chambers (40, 140, 240) with rotors rotated by the medium flowing through the same, arranged jointly on a shaft (40) with a system pressure-dependent controlled brake (45). A balance (50) is only associated with a single filling valve (20) of the valves controlled by a control cylinder (25) and is used for controlling said cylinder (25). A feed pump (15) connected upstream of the filling valve (120) associated with balance (50) ensure a uniform exit velocity of the medium in the container when pressure fluctuations occur in the pipeline system (11, 13, 113, 213).

  • Patent number: 4523616
    Abstract: In order to simultaneously fill several containers with a liquid, gaseous or solid flowable medium, without it being necessary to measure and monitor the filling volume or weight of each container, the filling apparatus has a pipe system (10) for carrying the medium to be filled. The pipe system includes a plurality of branch lines (13, 113, 213) leading to valves (20, 120, 220). In the branch lines there are arranged volume chambers (40, 140, 240) having impellers jointly placed on a shaft (41) with a system pressure-dependent braking device (45). The impellers are rotated by the medium flowing through the volume chambers. A balance (50) or a rotary piston meter (150) is associated with only one valve (20) of all the valves controlled by a control cylinder (25) and is used for controlling the latter.

  • Patent number: 4497155
    Abstract: A plug screwing-in device provides fully automatic screwing of plugs into the thread of a bunghole connecting piece located on a barrel bunghole, accompanied by the simultaneous, automatic centering and adaptation to any sloping position of the plug. For this purpose a centering and screw head is provided with an external centering ring and with a screw head arranged in the inner area of the ring, and the centering ring provided with a plug holding device can be raised counter to a spring force and is connected by means of a driving shaft and an intermediately connected universal joint with a drive mechanism.
