  • Patent number: 12097453
    Abstract: In a method for reconditioning an industrial oil and in an oil recovery system therefor, a used industrial oil is reconditioned by adding a liquid separation booster to the used industrial oil, and then the separation booster with attracted impurities is separated from the used industrial oil while leaving at least one specific additive in the oil. The separation booster is designed to attract impurities in the used oil while not attracting at least one specific additive in the oil.

  • Publication number: 20240252963
    Abstract: A liquid composition for use in purifying an oil contains a polar polymer, a surface active hydrotrope/solubilizer, and a co-tenside. The polar polymer may be a polyalkylene glycol, such as polyethylene glycol. The hydrotrope/solubilizer may be an anionic sulfonic acid, a phosphate ester-based substance or a non-ionic surfactant from the poly-glycoside family. The co-tenside may be at least one amphoteric co-surfactant, such as sodium caprylimino dipropionate.

  • Publication number: 20070258793
    Abstract: A magazine for screws includes seats defined by walls connecting longitudinally an insert end with an exit end of the seats, wherein in at least one seat a screw having a shank connecting a screw-head directed towards the insert end to a screw-tip directed towards the exit end, the screw-head having a first radius and the shank a second radius smaller, is housed, than the first radius, the at least one seat being formed internally with at least one wing-member running longitudinally from near the insert end towards the exit end, the at least one wing extending from a wing-root connected to the seat wall to a wing-tip projecting into the seat. In any arbitrary plane intersecting the wing and seat transversally to the longitudinal, the extension of the at least one wing from wing-root to wing-tip radially overlaps the radius of the screw-head, and the at least one wing is flexible from the wing-root towards the wing-tip.

  • Patent number: 6974030
    Abstract: A screw magazine includes a form-stiff framework (1) having a front side (4) and a back side (5) between which a plurality of mutually spaced-apart bores (10) extend, each one of which is delimited by an endless limiting wall (11) of a resilient, demolishable nature and of which at least some house screws (12) located at a distance from each other. The length of the individual screw (12) is smaller than the depth of the framework (1) counted as the distance between the front and back sides (4, 5), a free tip of the individual screw being located at a certain distance inside the back side of the framework, at the same time as an end surface on the head of the individual screw (12) is situated in flush with the front side (4) of the framework.
