  • Patent number: 11460199
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for climate control of an interior of a machine in a food and beverage industry. The device includes an air discharge system for discharging air from the interior of the machine. The air discharge system includes a first air extraction duct configured for first selective extraction of contaminated air or second selective extraction of high-temperature air or at least two separate air extraction ducts including a first air extraction duct configured for the first selective extraction of the contaminated air and a second air extraction duct configured for the second selective extraction of the high-temperature air. The device further includes an air supply system for supplying air to the interior of the machine. The supplied air includes at least one of fresh air or purified extracted air.

  • Patent number: 11045841
    Abstract: The invention provides a device for sorting out containers which were applied an incorrect print by a direct printing machine. The device comprises a transport device for transporting pucks, which are adapted to transport containers, along a transport path away from the direct printing machine, where the transport path comprises at least a primary transport path and a secondary transport path, an inspection device for inspecting the print on the containers, a decoupling device, in particular comprising a pusher system or a slider system, for decoupling pucks from the primary transport path to the secondary transport path, and a control device adapted to control the decoupling device such that pucks with containers, for which the inspection device has detected an incorrect print, are decoupled to the secondary transport path.

  • Publication number: 20190070875
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (100) for climate control of an interior (101) of a machine in the food and beverage industry, in particular for climate control of an interior of a direct printing machine, comprising: at least one air discharge system (112) for discharging air from the interior of the machine comprising at least one air extraction duct configured for the selective extraction of contaminated air, e.g. print mist, or configured for the selective extraction of high-temperature air, e.g. air heated by light sources for hardening and/or curing inks, or at least one air discharge system (112) for discharging air from the interior of the machine comprising at least two separate air extraction ducts, where at least one air extraction duct (102) is configured for the selective extraction of contaminated air, e.g. print mist, and at least one air extraction duct (103) is configured for the selective extraction of high-temperature air, e.g.

  • Publication number: 20160056620
    Abstract: A modular system for holding a number of electric conductors includes an electrically insulating holder with a number of through-holes spaced at a distance from one another for allowing the passage of said electric conductors. in addition, the modular system includes a base plate having a material with better insulating properties than the holder, and has one or more first units for connecting the holder to the base plate.
