Abstract: A method of manufacturing a coated aluminium foil wherein the aluminium foil is manufactured from a hot strip or a cast strip of aluminium or an aluminium alloy by cold-rolling with or without intermediate annealing and coiled onto a coil, while optional annealing of the aluminium foil takes place prior coiling, includes one or two side coating of the aluminium foil with a functional coating. The object of providing a method of manufacturing a coated aluminium foil with which the manufacturing costs of the coated aluminium foil can be lowered is solved according to the invention in that prior to coiling, more preferably before the optional annealing of the aluminium foil, one or two-sided coating of the aluminium foil with a functional coating takes place.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing foil with a substrate (2), a primer layer (3) and at least one extruded functional layer (6). Such a sealing foil is improved with a view to suppressing migration in that between the primer layer (3) and the extruded functional layer (6) an extruded barrier layer (4) is provided which prevents at least the migration of components of the primer layer (3) and/or of the functional layer (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for setting the process for the manufacture of sealing seams, in which the interface temperature at the interface between the sealing partners is measured using a temperature-measuring element. It was shown that setting the process based on the course of time of the interface temperature during and after heat input during the sealing makes it possible to optimize the machining parameters to achieve the best possible sealing seam quality, shortest possible machining time and lowest possible energy outlay.

Abstract: A device for depositing a cable into a receiving container or can, comprises, a rotary distributor including a rotatable cable distributing tube extending obliquely downwardly in the distributor which has an inlet into which the cable is directed adjacent the center of rotation and a cable discharge adjacent its bottom disposed at a location spaced radially outwardly of the cable inlet. The cable receiver has a side with a curved periphery which is located adjacent the tube in a position to receive cable which issues out of the outlet of the tube and engages around the surface of the receiver. The receiver is mounted for rotation relative to the distributor so that there is a driving rotation of one relative to the other to effect the deposit of the coils of the cable around the cable receiver. The receiver can is disposed below the receiver to push the coils of cable as they are deposited on the receiver downwardly along the surface of the receiver and then off of the surface into the can.

Abstract: In the process, the strands, which are spun as a fused mass, are initially drawn, then preferably stretched, crimped or textured, and converted into helical windings. The helical windings are laid down on an endless conveyor formed by two conveyor belts laterally spaced from each other. The laid down helical winding turns are then cut between the two endless conveyors to produce two substantially identical fiber lengths from each helical winding turn. The melt spinning of the strands may be effected at such a high speed that the drawing of the filaments or fibers can be omitted. The helical winding turns, prior to cutting thereof, may be subjected to at least one after-treatment. The apparatus includes a rotary distributor into which the crimped strands are supplied substantially axially for conversion into helical winding turns, and includes endless belts tangentially engaging the helical winding turns to move the same downwardly onto the spaced pair of endless conveyor belts.

Abstract: Method of treating synthetic threads, particularly filament or foil threads comprises heating the threads up to the center of their cross-section, crimping the heated thread, forming the crimped threads into a wadding, heating and compressing the wadding to reduce its volume and thereafter cooling the compressed wadding. An apparatus for treating the yarn includes a continuous heating chamber which is arranged adjacent a cooling chamber. An apparatus is provided for feeding the yarn to be treated toward the heating chamber and for crimping the yarn preferably while it is heated and perhaps also stretched. Crimping may be carried on by directing the thread under a fluid force against a screen, by passing the thread between a pair of rollers which have crimping means or by a combination of the two and, in addition, stretching means may be provided to stretch the thread.
