Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for steeping, germinating, kilning, fermenting grain, wherein the device comprises a container (3) having at least one plate (20) which can be mounted in the container and having at least one opening (21) for the supply and/or removal of fluid. In addition, the container (3) has at least one base surface (4) wherein, on the base surface (4), substantially vertically arranged side surfaces (5) and, on the base surface (4), substantially vertically arranged end surfaces (9) are present. In addition, a covering surface (6) that is in particular substantially horizontally arranged on at least one side surface (5) and/or end surface (9) is present, as a result of which a process chamber is formed. The internal measurement of a side length of the end surface (9) is 2 to 2.5 meters, in particular 2.345 meters.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing assembly, which includes at least one upper segment with an upper running surface and at least one lower segment with a lower running surface. The bearing assembly also includes at least one roll element movably arranged between the upper running surface and the lower running surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing, in particular, a rotating guide for executing planar rotational motions in a kiln floor of a making plant. The bearing comprises upper and lower raceways with running surfaces (6, 7) between which moving rolling elements, e.g. rolling balls (3) are situated, the raceways being segmented into upper and lower segments (1, 2) in a circular ring-shaped manner.

Abstract: Method and device for cleaning germination trays. The device includes a moveable carriage comprising at least one telescoping carrier, the at least one telescoping carrier being coupled to at least one supply line, and a cleaning unit coupled to the at least one telescoping carrier. The method includes extending the at least one telescoping carrier from the moveable carriage, moving the moveable carriage, and directing a cleaning fluid onto a portion of the germinating tray using the at least one cleaning unit, wherein the cleaning fluid cleans the portion of the germination tray.
