  • Patent number: 11213863
    Abstract: The invention relates to a filling machine (1, 1?) for filling packages (2) with fluid products with a continuously circulating transport device (14) for transporting the packages (2) through the filling machine (1, 1?), comprising a plurality of cells (15) for receiving the packages (2), wherein a supply device (13) for supplying packages (2) to be filled is assigned to a supply region (16) of the transport device (14), and an output device (27) for outputting the packages (2) is assigned to an output region (28) of the transport device (14), wherein a filling region (17) is provided between the supply region (16) and the output region (28) in the transport direction (14) of the transport device (14), and a return region (29) of the respective transport device (14) is provided between the output region (28) and the supply region (16), and wherein at least one nozzle (38, 38?) for spraying the cells (15) with a cleaning fluid (40) is associated with the return region (29) of the transport device (14).

  • Patent number: 10700628
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the current control of a pulse width modulated power converter for an electric machine, in particular a pulse width modulated inverter connected to the electric machine. The machine and the inverter thereby comprise a plurality of phases, and the current control is carried out by means of a control loop comprising a modulator for the calculation of switching times for a pulse generator for producing a pulse width modulated control voltage for each phase. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a corresponding device for current control of an inverter connected to an electric machine.
