Abstract: The present invention relates to a pallet container (10), with a thin-walled, rigid inner container (12) composed of thermoplastic material for the storage and transport of liquid or pourable contents, with a trellis tube support casing (14) tightly enclosing the plastic container (12), and with a base pallet (16), on which the plastic container (12) rests and to which the support casing (14) is rigidly connected, wherein the trellis tube support casing (14) is constructed of vertical and horizontal tubes (18, 20) that are welded to each other, with the peripheral horizontal tubes (18) being rigidly connected to each other. The connection of the horizontal tubes (18) is accomplished by a positive clinched joint (24) disposed on the inside of the horizontal tubes (18), wherein the outside of the horizontal tubes (18) is free from any clinched joint deformations.

Abstract: A pallet for a pallet container for storing and for transporting liquid contents has an upper deck made of profiled sheet steel and a substructure having a plurality of plastic feet or runners. The pallet is grounded electrically. In order to ensure a reliable electrical discharge (electrical grounding) of, for example, electrostatic charging, accompanied by the properties of a high resistance to mechanical loading, fewer than half the plastic feet or runners are made of plastic material which is electrically conductive and more than half the plastic feet or runners are made of plastic material which is not electrically conductive.

Abstract: A pallet container for the storage and transport of liquid or free-flowing goods, includes a thin-walled inner container of thermoplastic material, a tubular lattice frame closely surrounding the inner plastic container in the form of a support jacket, and a bottom pallet upon which the inner plastic container rests and with which the tubular lattice frame is securely fixed. The inner plastic container includes for withdrawal of liquid goods at the lower side, approximately in mid-section in a side wall near its bottom a blown, calibrated tubular pipe for allowing attachment of a closeable discharge fitting which is fixedly welded with its tubular housing to the calibrated tubular pipe of the inner container.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pallet (16) for a pallet container (10) for storing and for transporting liquid contents, in particular flammable or hazardous contents. The pallet (16) has an upper deck (18) made of profiled sheet steel and a substructure (20) comprising a plurality of plastic feet (24, 26, 30, 32, 34) or runners (36, 38) and is provided with corresponding means which earth it electrically overall. In order to ensure a reliable electrical discharge (electrical grounding) of, for example, electrostatic charging, accompanied by the properties of a high resistance to mechanical loading, fewer than half the plastic feet (24, 26, 30, 32, 34) or runners (36, 38), according to the present invention, are made of plastic material which is electrically conductive and more than half the plastic feet (24, 26, 30, 32, 34) or runners (36, 38) are made of plastic material which is not electrically conductive.

Abstract: An identification plate for a pallet container includes a plate body for placement upon a lattice frame of a pallet container. The plate body has an upper edge, which is bent rearwards at a first angle for attachment to an upper horizontal rod of the lattice frame, a lower edge, which is bent rearwards at the first angle for attachment to a lower horizontal rod of the lattice frame, and opposite lateral edges extending between the upper and lower edges and bent rearwards at a second angle which is greater than the first angle. Each of the lateral edges ends at its rear in a rolled edge and is formed with terminal recesses for receiving the upper and lower horizontal rods. The rolled edge is hereby sized to project with its ends in a rod-like manner into the recesses to engage behind the upper and lower horizontal rods.

Abstract: A plastics barrel (10) with a substantially cylindrical barrel wall (12), a disk-shaped barrel floor (14) and a corresponding barrel top (16), in which a closable closure aperture is optionally arranged, and with a circumferential carrying and transporting ring (22), which is arranged on the outer barrel wall (12) in the vicinity of the barrel top (16) and comprises a downward facing horizontal and an inward facing vertical bearing surface (24, 26) for the grab claws of a barrel grab, characterised in that a recessed closure housing (28) with a projecting closure socket (30) is arranged in the centre of the barrel top (16), the internal diameter of the closure socket (30) measuring at least 100 mm or more and this closure socket (30) being closable in a gas-tight and liquid-tight manner by means of a screw lid (32, 34) which can be screwed thereon.

Abstract: A plastics processing machine, in particular a blow moulding machine, with mould halves of a first product mould secured to movable mould clamping plates, and separate mould halves of a second product mould clamped onto the mould halves of the first product mould. The machine is operated with the mould halves of the first product mould to produce a first product line. During this operation, the mould halves for the second product mould are removed. The machine is operated with the mould halves for the second product line by attaching these mould halves to the mould halves of the first product mould.

Abstract: An extrusion head with an annular extrusion die gap or orifice for fabricating a hollow extrudate of thermoplastic material. The extrusion head has a central die core and outer die casing ring cooperating to define the die gap. The inner boundary of the die gap is formed by a wall of the die core, while the outer boundary of the die gap is formed by a wall of the casing ring. At least one boundary wall of the die gap comprises independently movable sections that move with respect to the other boundary wall to change the width of the die gap.
