Abstract: A conveyor system, in particular for supplying packaging machines, which has a revolving conveyor segment with a curved region. An electromagnetic drive is provided with a plurality of stationary coil elements and a plurality of permanent magnets. The stationary coil elements are disposed along the conveyor segment, and at least one rotor is disposed movably on the conveyor segment and is movable by electromagnetic forces. The permanent magnets are disposed on the rotor. A first row of coil elements and a second row of coil elements are disposed in the curved region such that the second row of coil elements is disposed radially outside the first row of coil elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ultrasonic welding device for welding foil-like materials and includes an ultrasound sonotrode, an anvil, an adjusting unit for adjusting a relative position between the ultrasound sonotrode and the anvil, and a regulating unit which regulates, via the adjustment unit, a width of a working gap between the ultrasound sonotrode and the anvil. The anvil is mounted to be movable with respect to the ultrasound sonotrode on a movable mounting. The adjusting unit has a first wedge element connected to the anvil, a second wedge element, and an actuator. The actuator is connected to the second wedge element, and the second wedge element moves relative to the first wedge element to execute a position change of the anvil relative to the ultrasound sonotrode.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for homogenizing powder, which includes a drive device and a homogenization unit. The drive device moves the homogenization unit back and forth in at least one horizontal direction. The homogenization unit has a multitude of essentially vertically arranged, rod-shaped elements which are immersed at least partly into a powder to be homogenized.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transporting apparatus for transporting products, which includes a linear drive mechanism, a continuous conveyor system, having two parallel straight conveyor regions and two curved conveyor regions each connecting one end of the straight conveyor regions, and a plurality of conveyor elements. The conveyor elements extend along the continuous conveyor system and convey the products to be conveyed along at least a portion of the conveyor system while being guided along a guide path. The linear drive mechanism includes a first linear segment and a second linear segment, which are disposed parallel to the straight conveyor regions. The curved conveyor regions of the conveyor system are advantageously embodied as driveless.

Abstract: A device for sorting pharmaceutical products such as tablets into cavities of a blister web has an endless sorting belt equipped with recesses. Two drive units drive the sorting belt by means of a deflecting gear. Depending on the orientation of the recesses in the sorting belt, the second drive unit generates oscillations that are oriented transversely in relation to the feed direction of the sorting belt. The device makes it possible for the degree to which the sorting belt is filled with tablets to be adapted or optimized in relation to the orientation of the recesses in the sorting belt.
