Abstract: A backing plate unit for a rotary grinding machine includes a backing plate with a front face for mounting a grinding disc and a back face opposite the front face, a drive shaft that can be attached to the tool adaptor of the rotary grinding machine, and a suction hood that is rotatably fixed to the drive shaft. The backing plate 10 includes suction openings that penetrate the backing plate so that the suction hood 30 vacuums dust through the backing plate to the back face of the backing plate.

Abstract: The present invention relates a grinding device 1 for the machine-based grinding of rotor blades 100 for wind energy systems, comprising a belt grinding unit 10 with a circulating grinding belt 12.

Abstract: A grinding and cleaning fleece 1, for the machine-based grinding and machine-based cleaning of structured surfaces, consists of a fleece body 10, which includes a processing surface 11 with a plurality of burls 14. A method of manufacturing and use of the cleaning fleece is also disclosed.

Abstract: A spiral cooler and a process for cooling workpieces are proposed. A very simple structure is enabled by the workpieces being cooled in counterflow by cooling air, preferably a negative pressure being produced in the conveyor channel by branching off and redelivering a partial flow.

Abstract: A sieving device with a vibratory supporting frame and a vibration frame which is held against said supporting frame so as to be able to vibrate freely. A simple, compact design which provides good sieving and conveying performance is achieved in that the vibration frame is spring-elastically coupled to the supporting frame by torsion-bar-like spring elements.

Abstract: A sieving device and the operation of a sieving device are proposed. The sieving device has a supporting frame which can be made to vibrate and a vibration frame which is held so as to be able to vibrate freely in relation to said supporting frame. A simple, compact design which provides good sieving and conveying performance is achieved in that the vibration frame is spring-elastically coupled to the supporting frame by helical springs, with the main spring axes of the spring elements extending in the direction of vibration of the tension waves. Furthermore, guiding elements for movable bearing arrangement of the vibration frame on the supporting frame are provided. The sieving device is operated in particular at a vibration frequency of at least 850 vibrations per minute at an average speed of approx. 11 m/s and at an average acceleration of the vibration frame relative to the supporting frame of approx. 2.2 m/s2.
