Abstract: A whirling cutting device for use in flying saws has a tool accommodation and a ring-shaped whirling tool accommodated by it. The ring-shaped whirling tool is formed from at least two ring segments that have a positioning device on their side facing the tool accommodation. The positioning device on the ring segments corresponds with a positioning device disposed on the tool accommodation, thereby achieving centered placement of the ring segments relative to one another, as well as centering of the whirling tool in the tool accommodation. The positioning device can be in the form of an arc-shaped groove or ridge forming a circular segment.

Abstract: A device for chip-producing machining of work pieces in the form of pipes and rods, using the whirling method, has a whirling unit that has a housing, on which an accommodation for a whirling tool with teeth on the inside is mounted so as to rotate, and connected with an electromagnetic rotational direct drive. The drive has a ring-shaped stator attached to the housing and having an essentially C-shaped cross-section, and a rotor configured in the form of a ring-shaped hollow shaft having a T-shaped cross-section and provided with permanent magnets. The rotor is connected with the accommodation and is mounted on the outside of the C-shaped cross-section of the stator on its free shanks on both sides of the circumferential gap. The stator has a winding for generation of an electromagnetic field disposed between the free shanks and the closed rear wall of the C-shaped cross-section of the stator.

Abstract: A device for chip-producing machining of work pieces in the form of pipes and rods, using the whirling method has a whirling unit with a housing, on which an accommodation for a whirling tool with teeth on the inside is mounted so as to rotate. An electromagnetic rotational direct drive has a ring-shaped stator attached to the housing with an essentially U-shaped cross-section, and a rotor configured in the form of a ring-shaped crosspiece provided with permanent magnets, formed onto the accommodation. The rotor is mounted within the U-shaped cross-section of the stator, on the housing side. The stator has a winding for generation of an electromagnetic field, on its inside shank of its U-shaped cross-section that lies opposite the housing.

Abstract: A ring saw including a housing with a whirling assembly, on which a holder for a saw blade with inner teeth connected with a drive is rotatably mounted. A control unit controls the assembly. A vibration meter is disposed on the housing. The whirling assembly has a rotational position transducer for detecting the saw blade's rotational position. An evaluation unit, connected with the vibration meter and the rotational position transducer, is set up so that a vibration progression per saw blade tooth is determined on the basis of the vibration meter and rotational position transducer measurement data. The evaluation unit is connected with the control unit of the whirling assembly, which is set up so that the saw blade penetrates into the work piece with a region of low measured vibration amplitude during the penetration process. A method for controlling a saw blade of a ring saw is also provided.

Abstract: A process and an apparatus are described for adding additives during the conditioning of animal feed. The feed is transferred from a container (1) into a conditioner (3) via a feed screw (2) at an inlet point (M). In the conditioner (3), the feed is transported by a mixing screw (12) from an inlet point (M) along a path (A) to an exit point (N), and is exposed to vapor in the course of this. One or more additives (5) which are introduced into the conditioner (3) through one or more ports (10) are added to the feed which, has passed through x% of the path (A) in the conditioner (3). The feed and the additives (5) added through one or more ports (10) are mixed on the remaining (100-x)% of the path (A) to form a mixture (6). The mixture (6) leaving the conditioner (3) at the exit point (N) is transferred to a pelleting press (7), where the mixture (6) is formed into pellets (8). The pellets (8) are finally transferred to a cooling device (9).
