Abstract: A method serves for the pyrolysis and gasification of substance mixtures containing organic constituents. The organic substances (4) or the substance mixture containing the organic constituents are brought into contact with a heat transfer medium, for preference the ash (5) from a combustion reactor (2) in a pyrolysis reactor (1), for preference a shaft reactor and pyrolysed. The pyrolysis coke (10) derived from the pyrolysis is combusted in a combustion reactor (2), for preference a fluidised bed reactor, under the admission of air (11). In order to improve such a method, the raw gas (6) generated by the pyrolysis is purified in a crack reactor (3), for preference by a catalyst.

Abstract: An apparatus for pyrolysis and gasification of organic substances and mixtures thereof is provided with a pyrolysis reactor (1), a fluidized-bed firing (3) for pyrolysis residue, a reaction zone (2) for the pyrolysis gases (13) and circulating fluidized-bed material (35). The pyrolysis reactor (1) has a sluice for introducing application material (10) thereinto. An inlet for the fluidized-bed material (35) is disposed next to the combustion fluidized bed (3). Transport apparatus (14) for mixture of solid pyrolysis residue and circulating fluidized bed material (35) is disposed at or near a bottom of the fluidized bed (3) and lower end of the pyrolysis reactor (1). An overflow is situated at or near the top of the fluidized bed (3) while a heat transfer member is positioned within the reaction zone (2).

Abstract: The workpiece processing arrangement, especially for surface hardening, has a laser which radiates a substantially monochromatic beam of rays, a deviating mirror provided with a reflecting layer for the beam arranged in the path of the beam for deviating the beam toward the workpiece, a focussing device for focussing the beam and a radiation detector arranged to detect heat radiation from the workpiece heated by the beam and to supply a signal corresponding to an intensity of the heat radiation, this signal being processed for power regulation of the laser. So that heat radiation from inwardly located surfaces on the workpiece can be easily and accurately detected and used to regulate the laser power, the reflecting layer is provided in a multilayer-interference filter with a blocking region for the beam of rays of the laser and with a permeable region for the heat radiation from the workpiece, and the radiation detector is located in the path of the heat radiation passing through the interference filter.

Abstract: A press brake comprises at least one driven bending tool, which is adapted to cooperate with a second bending tool. In order to provide a great latitude regarding the bending operations to be performed, the driven bending tool is driven by means of a four-bar linkage, which comprises two crank arms, which are rotatably mounted in a frame, and a link, which connects the crank arms and carries the driven bending tool. An adjusting drive is provided which is power-operable to displace the pivot connecting one of said crank arms to the frame or to change the length of one of said crank arms.
