  • Patent number: 11597550
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for degassing and gassing containers (3), comprising at least one chamber in which an open container can be accommodated for a degassing and/or gassing process, wherein a cover element (26) for the accommodated open container (3) is provided in the chamber, wherein, for a degassing and/or gassing process, the cover element (26) can be sealingly placed on a container edge (31) of an accommodated open container (3) or into an interior of an accommodated open container (3) and wherein the cover element (26) has at least one opening (260) for a passage of gas. The invention also relates to a method for degassing and gassing.

  • Patent number: 6851920
    Abstract: An improved process of stacking parts comprising thermoplastic plastic in an intermediate-storage cage, and the further transport of the stacks to subsequent devices. A pivotable stacking cage effects the transfer of the stacks onto a transverse conveyor belt, or directly to finishing devices, with the parts selectively standing up or lying down, so the apparatus is suited for both flat and tall parts. The method can be used with high cycle numbers, and allows for the mounting of devices that reliably prevent the parts from drifting apart in the intermediate-storage cage, which is particularly advantageous for flat parts.

  • Patent number: 6692212
    Abstract: The transfer of stacks comprising molded plastic containers from stacking magazines into downstream devices in terms of susceptibility to disturbances, with the molding apparatus having a large number of cycles is improved. The method requires simple format parts, and permit a rapid format change when the apparatus is converted to a different container format. This is achieved be stack cages comprising stacking-magazine rows that can be displaced perpendicular to the stacking direction and removed from the other stacking-magazine rows. They are guided to a removal station, unloaded and placed onto the stacking-magazine rows remaining on the other side in the stacking station.
