Abstract: A beverage garbage can includes an enclosure having a top opening, a compression plate movable between a disengaged position and a compression position in which it closes the opening, a piston situated facing the opening and under the compression plate, the piston being mounted to move along an axis between a low position, an ejection position, and a high position, an ejector for engaging a container resting on the piston in the ejection position, to push it sideways to cause it to drop off the piston, and controlled motor means for successively causing the compression plate to close after a container has been inserted into the opening, causing the piston to rise so as to compress the container against the plate, causing the piston to be lowered to its ejection position, and causing the container to be ejected.

Abstract: A processing apparatus for collecting matter adhering to the outside surfaces of packages for processing and that have previously been shredded, includes a rotary cylindrical drum forming a screen for retaining the shredded packages and for allowing the matter for collection to pass through, a rotary brush mounted in the rotary drum in order to brush the inside face of the drum, motor means for driving the brush and the cylindrical drum in rotation, and at outer casing for collecting the matter coming from the shredded packages introduced into the cylindrical drum and that have passed through the wall of the cylindrical drum.

Abstract: The invention relates to a machine for descaling cells (3) of a cellular runoff body (2) used in an air-water exchanger, characterized in that it comprises at least one tool (6, 7) having an active tip (6a, 7a) and mounted on a frame (1) so as to be mobile between two positions in one direction common to all of the tools (6, 7) supported by the frame (1), the active tip (6a, 7a) of said tool being supported by the end of a rod (13) of a cylinder (11), the body (12) of which is mounted so as to be mobile relative to the frame (1) along the axis thereof, a piston (23) rigidly connected to the rod (13) and defining, in the body, a first chamber (26) which is constantly connected to a source of pressurized fluid and to a second chamber (27) through which the rod (13) passes, is in communication with the first chamber (26) as long as the rod (13) is at least partially retracted into the cylinder body (12) and insulated from the latter, and is connected to the exhaust when the rod (13) is in an end extension positi

Abstract: A method of in situ scale removal from a heat exchange body suspended in a wet cooling tower. At least one air blast is generated by a generator implementing controlled expansion via a nozzle of a mass of compressed gas in a nozzle towards a zone of the body. The generator is opened at a distance from the zone, and the method repeats the operation after moving the generator under the body outside the zone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for extracting a liquid (14) contained in a container (12, 13, 15) of non-brittle material such as a container containing a liquid or pasty cosmetic or food product. The device comprises two wheels (1, 2) rotating about parallel axes (AX1, AX2) and separated from each other by a gap (E), together with motor means (3) for driving the two wheels (1, 2) in rotation in opposite directions. At least one of the wheels (1, 2) includes spikes (7, 11) projecting radially from an outer base diameter of the wheel (D1, D2) and engaging in corresponding recesses in the other wheel (1, 2; 21). The device serves simultaneously to compress and to pierce the containers (12, 13, 15) when they pass through the gap (E) between the two wheels.

Abstract: A method of in situ scale removal from a heat exchange body suspended in a wet cooling tower, wherein the method generates at least one air blast by a generator implementing controlled expansion via a nozzle of a mass of compressed gas in a nozzle towards a zone of the body, the generator being opened at a distance (H) from the zone, and the method consisting in repeating the operation after moving the generator under the body outside the zone.
