Patent number: 8227345Abstract: A high capacity anode preparation apparatus is provided which allows for the processing of raw anodes at production rates of up to, or exceeding, 600 anodes per hour. The processed anodes are suitable for use in the electrorefining of various metal materials, but in particular, in the electrorefining of copper. The apparatus is preferably part of a system which utilizes high speed industrial robots to supply, and remove, anodes to or from the apparatus, and provides the anodes in a horizontal orientation. The apparatus is equipped with a variety of treatment stations which are adapted to treat the raw anode while it is held in a horizontal orientation. The horizontal orientation allows the center of gravity for the apparatus to be kept close to the center of gravity for the apparatus, and thus allows the apparatus to rotate more rapidly than prior art device. Faster processing of the raw anodes is provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2007Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Inventor: Stephan Frank Matusch

Patent number: 6431063Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is an embossing press, including an embossing roller and a counter cylinder, for producing embossed seams by joining at least two paper layers or fleece layers, arranged one above the other and conveyed in a straight line. For this, the embossed seams extend at a slant or at a right angle relative to the conveying direction of the paper layers or fleece layers. The embossing roller is provided with at least two rows of embossing teeth, arranged at a distance to each other, and the counter cylinder is designed as fluted roller, at least in the area effective for the embossing operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2000Date of Patent: August 13, 2002Assignee: Melitta Haushaltsprodukte GmbH & Co., KGInventors: Rainer Dölfel, Stephan Frank, Joachim Freiheit, Hans Olthaus

Publication number: 20020101000Abstract: A method for producing filter paper, in particular filter paper for preparing brewed beverages such as coffee or tea employs the steps of producing initially a noncrimped paper of high strength and subsequently rendering this paper capable of filtering through perforation and/or stamping or stamped perforation. The above method is advantageous in that a high production speed of the paper-manufacturing machine results since a crimping device (crimping cylinder, crimping scraper) is no longer required. Accordingly, the bottleneck caused by the crimping device speed is eliminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2002Publication date: August 1, 2002Inventors: Rainer Dolfel, Stephan Frank
