  • Patent number: 7942029
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for expanding the use of a coiling and uncoiling station (coilbox) located between the roughing train and the finishing train for rolled strip material in hot-rolling mills. The use of said coilbox is expanded by impinging the coil that is to be uncoiled with a pressing force (F) which acts in the direction of the roller table (4) and/or placing the coil in a depression of the roller table in order to process smaller coil weights in a spikeless coilbox, and/or by combining, in a chronological and weight-related manner, the active transfer and passive transfer of a coil from a first coiling station to a second coiling station in order to increase the throughput especially at average coil weights in a spikeless coilbox, and/or by supplying heat to the strip upstream or downstream of the spikeless coilbox and/or thermally insulating the strip or the coilbox in order to variably increase and homogenize the strip temperature.

  • Publication number: 20100108190
    Abstract: The gas which is to be introduced into a compressed gas container (50) is stored in a storage container (10) at a high pressure of approximately 250 bar. A booster compressor (20) is connected downstream of the storage container: The outlet of the booster compressor can be connected to a pre-filling container (30) via a valve apparatus (22). The compressed gas container (50) is filled first of all by the pre-filling container (30). When the pressure of the latter is no longer sufficient, a switchover is carried out, wherein the further filling takes place by the booster compressor (20) via a cyclone tube (40) or an injection device. In this way, a large storage container can be filled in a short time.

  • Publication number: 20090220357
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multistage compressor for providing high-pressure gas in filling stations, said compressor consisting of a high-pressure compressor and a multistage booster compressor (W). Both compressors comprise membrane pump chambers which are controlled by camshafts. The booster compressor (VV) can contain a plurality of stages (S1, S2, S3), the chambers in each stage forming groups (G1, G2, G3) of chambers. The chambers of a group are synchronously operated in phase. The chambers of two successive stages are operated in opposition of phase. The number of chambers in a group is approximately the same as the pressure ratio ?, so that the size of the chambers can be standardised.

  • Patent number: 6811396
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to develop a hot rolling unit, comprising at least one continuous casting unit (1) with a post-arranged furnace (4), followed by a roughing stand (5) and, over a strip edge guide, a soaking furnace (15) and finishing train, such that downtime is reduced to a minimum level and even during said downtime, as well as in planned cases of withdrawal of pre-strip material, the pre-strip (14), behind the roughing stand in the soaking furnace, can be separated off from the normal rolling cycle.

  • Patent number: 5238031
    Abstract: A receptacle includes a receiving chamber into which an injection fluid is to be injected. An injection unit includes a syringe having a needle adapted to pierce a diaphragm of the receptacle. The injection unit has a second needle [(28)] that may be advanced through a further diaphragm into a return chamber of the receptacle. The second needle is secured to a sliding pipe coupled to the syringe via a coupling means. Both needles are advanced simultaneously into the receptacle. Then, the syringe is ejected by moving the syringe plunger. The liquid volume displaced from the return chamber reaches the rear barrel chamber via the sliding pipe, the volume of the rear barrel chamber increasing by the amount in which the injection fluid has been ejected, subtracting the volume of the plunger rod. The exchange of liquid is supported by the suction effect of the partial vacuum generated by the lowering of the syringe plunger. The fluid of the injection device is sealed tight against the environment.
