Patent number: 9399244Abstract: A cleaning device for a laboratory fermenter for growing microorganisms is provided. The laboratory fermenter to be cleaned has a gas supply connection connected to a line reaching into the fermenter's nutrient solution, an exhaust connection to the gas space over the nutrient solution, and a withdrawal connection leading to the fermenter's deepest point. The cleaning device includes three cleaning connections, an immersion pipe connection and two gas connections. Flow in each gas connection is controlled via intermediate switch valves having a cleaning start position and a cleaning end position. The cleaning connections are connected via hose lines to hose pinch control valves, a hose pinch pump, at least one filter. A cleaning control manages the cleaning process by controlling flow from and/or to an air connection, a water connection and a waste water connection. The cleaning controller may also control introduction of acids and/or bases.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2013Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: Infors AGInventors: Dieter Cueni, Daniel Egger

Patent number: 4047704Abstract: The shaking machine comprises a frame in the form of a base in which there is mounted a driving motor which rotates two vertically oriented shafts on which at least two supports are mounted in vertically spaced relation. Each support has two bearing bodies, each having a central bore receiving an eccentric member rotatable with a respective shaft so that, as the shafts are rotated, all points of each support execute horizontal circular movements at mutually equal velocities along paths having mutually equal radii. In one embodiment of the invention, a respective sector shape balance body is mounted for rotation, about a vertical axis at the center of gravity of the support. The eccentric secured to one shaft is in the form of a gear which is connected by a gear belt to a gear secured to rotate with the balance body. In another embodiment of the invention, each shaft has secured thereto, with respect to each support, a respective sector shape balance body.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1975Date of Patent: September 13, 1977Assignee: Infors AGInventor: Alexander Hawrylenko
