Abstract: A method and an apparatus for producing a preform for a rotor blade of a wind turbine. The method comprises the steps of providing at least one semifinished textile product on at least one roll, applying a binder onto the semifinished textile product and/or heating the semifinished textile product, draping the at least one semifinished textile product from the at least one roll onto a core, and curing the semifinished textile product after the draping on the core. The draping is in this case carried out by means of rotating the core.

Abstract: An apparatus to manufacture semi-finished blade end products for wind power installation rotor blades with a winding mandrel which can be rotated for rolling up preferably ribbon-like fiber composite materials. An impregnating device, which can move along the winding mandrel to impregnate the fiber composite material before it is rolled up, preferably be a magazine device which moves synchronously with the impregnating device along the winding mandrel to provide the fiber composite material.

Abstract: A rotary processing machine for beverage containers (1), including a carousel (7, 8) that revolves about a vertical axis (5) and is fitted with peripherally spaced processing sites (12) receiving the containers. The processing sites are configured in a sealed space that may be charged with a special atmosphere. The stationary surfaces (14, 15, 16) of the space are traversed by entry and exit conveyor elements (19, 22). The space assumes the shape of an annular tunnel (7, 8, 14, 15, 16) surrounding the carousel (7, 8) and is enclosed, on one hand, by the closed carousel surfaces (7, 8) and, on the other hand, by the stationary surfaces (14, 15, 16). The carousel surfaces and stationary surfaces subtending the tunnel seal each other off by two seals (17, 18) concentric with the axis (5).
