Abstract: A process and an arrangement for production of an electrode suspension are described. Formulation constituents of the electrode suspension are provided and mixed to give the electrode suspension. At least one optical measurement is conducted on the electrode suspension, in each case by detecting a spectrum of the electrode suspension over at least one subregion of the at least one of ultraviolet, visible and infrared frequency range. The at least one optical measurement is evaluated. The further treatment of the electrode suspension depends on the evaluation.

Abstract: In a processing system for processing an energy storage material, a pressure buildup device is disposed downstream of a mixing device. The mixing device serves for the processing of the energy storage material. By means of the pressure buildup device, a pressure of the energy storage material is increased for a subsequent shaping. Because the mixing device and the pressure buildup device are separate from one another, a good mixing effect and a good pressure buildup effect are achieved. The energy storage material can thus be processed in a high quality in a simple and reliable manner. The energy storage material serves in particular for the production of bipolar plates for fuel cells and/or for the production of galvanic energy storage devices.

Abstract: A treatment element for treating material by means of a screw machine comprises a conveying section and a melting section. The melting section is arranged downstream of the conveying section in a conveying direction and is connected in one piece with the conveying section. This reduces wear and increases the service life.

Abstract: A maneuverable feeding tube system can include: a feeding tube having an internal lumen and distal opening; a maneuverable tube having a flexible distal end being located within the internal lumen of the feeding tube such that the flexible distal end is associated with the distal opening of the feeding tube, wherein the flexible distal end includes one or more flex members; a control member operably coupled to a flexible distal end of the maneuverable tube and extending through the internal lumen of the feeding tube; and a port coupled to a proximal end of the feeding tube with the control member extending therethrough.
