  • Patent number: 6780254
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for lubricating and cleaning and/or disinfecting filling facilities for containers receiving beverages or foodstuffs, wherein the containers are conveyed on transport devices which are brought into contact with an aqueous solution of a conveyor lubricant during operation for the purpose of lubrication, wherein said aqueous solution is produced by diluting a product concentrate with water at a first dilution factor. The transport devices and/or the devices connected thereto are cleaned and/or disinfected during preselected time intervals and without interrupting the filling and transport operation by using the product concentrate for cleaning and/or disinfecting the transport devices and/or the devices connected thereto once said product concentrate has been diluted with water at a second dilution factor that is smaller than the first dilution factor.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: January 27, 2004
    Assignee: Ecolab GmbH & Co. oHG
    Inventors: Siegfried Bragulla, Alfred Laufenberg, Harald Kluschanzoff
  • Patent number: 6677280
    Abstract: The invention relates to process for reducing the friction between new and/or freshly washed transport containers and conveyors, in which a composition containing at least one component with lubricating properties is applied to at least part of the surface of the container before it is placed on the conveyor, to containers of which at least part of the outer surface is finished with a film or a coating which contains lubricating components to reduce friction during transport on conveyors and to installations which are intended, and may advantageously be designed, for the transport of such containers.
