Abstract: A filling and portioning system for food products and a method for rotational speed control of a feeder and/or mixing arm and/or counterholding device present thereon for conveying the food product in a filling hopper are described. According thereto, the feeder/mixing arm in the filling hopper can be rotated about itself by way of a motor for conveying the food product and is driven independently of a downstream conveyor mechanism. The counterholding device is also arranged in the filling hopper and can optionally be rotated about itself by way of a motor for conveying the food product and is driven independently of a downstream conveyor mechanism. The rotational speed of at least one of the motors is controlled in an automated manner in dependence of at least one machine or product parameter measured during operation of the filling and portioning system.

Abstract: A filling machine and a method for intermediate cleaning of a filling machine, where the filling machine comprises a hopper for filling in a pasty substance, a conveying mechanism for conveying the pasty substance in the direction toward an outlet opening. The filling machine comprises at least one spraying device above or within the hopper for distributing the cleaning medium onto the hopper inner wall.

Abstract: A method and system for operating an air jet spinning machine, that features at least one spinning unit with one spinning nozzle for producing a yarn. During normal operation of the spinning unit, a fiber composite is fed to the spinning nozzle through an inlet and in a predefined transport direction. The fiber composite within a vortex chamber of the spinning nozzle receives a twist with the assistance of a vortex air flow, such that a yarn is formed from the fiber composite, which leaves the spinning nozzle through an outlet. After an interruption in yarn production, a piecing process is carried out, with which one yarn end on the spool side moves counter to the transport direction through the spinning nozzle, is overlaid with one end of the fiber composite after passing through the spinning nozzle and, together with this, is brought through the inlet into the spinning nozzle. After conclusion of the piecing process, the production of yarn is continued through the resumption of normal operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an air spinning machine, whereas the air spinning machine features at least one spinning unit with one spinning nozzle (1) for producing a yarn (2), whereas, during the normal operation of the spinning unit, the spinning nozzle (1) feeds a fiber composite (3) through an inlet (4) and in a predefined transport direction (T), whereas the fiber composite (3) within a vortex chamber (5) of the spinning nozzle (1) receives a twist with the assistance of a vortex air flow, such that a yarn (2) is formed from the fiber composite (3), which ultimately leaves the spinning nozzle (1) through an outlet (6), and is spooled on a sleeve with the assistance of a spooling device (7), whereas, after an interruption in yarn production, a spinning-in process operation is carried out, with which one yarn end (23) on the spool side moves counter to the transport direction (T) through the spinning nozzle (1), is overlaid with one end (24) of the fiber composite (3) after passing thro

Abstract: In a process for producing cross-wound packages in a yarn winding device of a textile machine, the helix angle of the wound-on yarn changes during winding on. The helix angle is a variable chosen in dependence on the diameter of the yarn package. This diameter of the package is in turn calculated on the basis of the length of the yarn already wound on. An arrangement for producing cross-wound packages on a number of yarn winding devices comprises a drive for rotating the cross-wound package. A variable, driveable yarn guide is provided at each yarn winding device for laying a yarn in axial direction of the cross-wound package at a variable helix angle. A common sensor for measuring the package diameter at a number of yarn winding devices is provided, which sensor can be positioned to the yarn winding devices one after another.
