Abstract: An apparatus for producing and winding synthetic multifilament yarns, which has a spin unit 1 for melt spinning the yarns, at least one treatment unit 7 for treating the yarns, and a takeup unit 16 with a plurality of winding positions for winding the yarns. The winding positions 17.1-17.3 are distributed along a horizontal axis of the takeup unit 16, with a driven guide roll 12 and a yarn guide 15.1-15.3 for each winding position being arranged upstream thereof for advancing the yarn. To prevent different yarn deflections despite a different spacing between yarns while treating and while winding the yarns, the invention provides for orienting the guide roll 12 with its roll axis in the vertical direction to guide the yarns, and for arranging it laterally adjacent the yarn guides 15.1-15.3 such that the yarns can be advanced substantially in parallel relationship between the guide roll 12 and the yarn guides 15.1-15.3.

Abstract: A spinneret assembly for melt spinning a plurality of strand-like filaments, which includes a plurality of internal parts composed of at least one inlet component 2 and a spinneret plate 3 which are braced relative each other in a housing 1 by a supporting means. The inlet component 2 forms a melt inlet 5, and the spinneret plate 3 forms a melt outlet by means of a plurality of spin holes 4. To achieve during operation a self-sealing between the internal parts, the invention provides for arranging an expansion body 8 between the housing 1 and one of the internal parts. The expansion body 8 is formed of a material which has a higher thermal expansion coefficient than the housing material, and it generates, upon being heated, a pressure force inside the housing which provides for a self-sealing bracing of the internal parts.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for texturing blended synthetic multifilament yarns, wherein the blended yarns are each produced in parallel from a plurality of individual yarn components. The individual yarn components are withdrawn and drawn by a withdrawal means, with a guide means being associated to the withdrawal means for combining the individual yarns to the blended yarns. The blended yarns are separately textured, and to obtain for each of the blended yarns a combination of the individual yarn components that is as identical as possible, the individual yarn components are divided into groups, with each group being reciprocated by one of a plurality of individually controlled traversing yarn guides. The groups of the individual yarn components are guided independently of one another while being reciprocated, with each of the individual yarn components per group being respectively associated to the blended yarns.

Abstract: A spinning-drawing-texturing machine for producing crimped threads is described, comprising a spinning device, a drawing device, a texturing device, and a take-up device. A plurality of threads spun by the spinning device is assigned to the drawing device, the texturing device, and the take-up device. According to the present invention, the drawing device and the texturing device are arranged in a processing module and the take-up device in a winding module underneath the spinning device. The processing module and the winding module are erected side by side and form one long side of the machine. This ensures a configuration divided by functional groups, which facilitates operation and increases operational reliability.

Abstract: In a device for crushing materials, in particular soft stone, a plurality of grates with breaking elements are arranged below a bunker containing the feedstock. At least one of said grates is translationally mobile in the horizontal direction with respect to the other, which facilitates crushing of the feedstock between the vibrating breaker elements and the stationary breaking elements.

Abstract: An apparatus for the cooling of dust or finely granular bulk material, having a vertical cylindrical cooling jacket, the externally cooled cylindrical surface of which is fed with the material to be cooled from the inside by means of an annular conveyor worm which conducts the material upward and presses it by centrifugal force against the heat exchange surface. In order to be able to materials which are subject to explosion safely with the apparatus, the conveyor worm is arranged on the cylindrical surface of a cylindrical hollow body which is closed at its ends, fills the greatest part of the inside of the cooling jacket, and is driven by a motor.

Abstract: A device for the fastening of hammers in axially extending cutouts of rebound-mill rotors having a form-locked attachment between each hammer and one side of the corresponding cutout and a force-locked attachment on the other side by means of at least one wedge-shaped clamping ledge which can be acted on in clamping direction by a plurality of pressure elements each of which has a clamping piston acted on by a pressure medium and which are connected to each other by a common pressure conduit which can be closed by a valve. The clamping pistons are arranged in the clamping ledge and are connected by the pressure conduit which debouches in at least one end surface of the clamping ledge and is filled with a flowable, plastic, compressible pressure medium which, in order to obtain excess pressure, can be acted on by a setting piston which is developed on a closure screw which can be screwed into the mouth of the pressure conduit.
