Publication number: 20230311040Abstract: An apparatus and a method for separating glue particles from a glue aerosol are described. Accordingly, the device comprises a cyclone separator and a collection container arranged underneath for collecting glue particles running down from the cyclone separator. Due to the fact that the device further comprises a discharge line which is connected in a gas-tight manner to the cyclone separator and which projects downwards into the collection container in order to hydrostatically seal the cyclone separator at the discharge end by means of a solvent held in the collection container, separated particles can be continuously dissolved in the solvent and discharged by replacing the solvent without interruption of the cyclonic flow prevailing in the cyclone separator.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2021Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Heinrich BIELMEIER, Michael NEUBAUER, Christian APPEL

Patent number: 9221662Abstract: A fastening device for fastening a changeable attachment with a container handling station includes a first member and a second member formed as a fitting counterpart to said first member. The attachment can be transferred into the fastened position by uniting and rotating said members relative to each other. A fixed stop disposed on the fastening device in the fastened position prevents rotating the two members relative to each other in one rotational direction, and an elastic, radially snapable section acts as a stop without application of any external force and prevents the members from rotating relative to each other in the other rotational direction. The snapable section fastens the two members relative to each other and can be pressed in radially such that it no longer acts as a stop and the attachment can be rotated from the fastened position and removed from the container handling station.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2012Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: KRONES AGInventor: Heinrich Bielmeier
