Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for treating surfaces of cylindrical elements in several process steps, including a first cleaning device (30) for removing residuals of a coolant and lubricant used during draw wall ironing from a cylindrical element produced through draw wall ironing so that a cleaned and pre-dried cylindrical element is provided. The device includes a surface treatment device (50) for treating at least one surface of the cleaned and pre dried cylindrical element and a second cleaning device (70) for cleaning the surface treated cylindrical element.

Abstract: A production line with processing stations processing products with a production speed in products per unit time, the production line comprising a temporarily discontinuously operating processing station; a production line section connected upstream of the temporarily discontinuously operating processing station; a production line section connected downstream from the temporarily discontinuously operating processing station; a first product buffer arranged between the upstream production line section and the temporarily discontinuously operating processing station; and a second product buffer arranged between the temporarily discontinuously operating processing station and the downstream production line section.

Abstract: Illustrated and described are a method and an apparatus for the sterilisation of a product packaged in a packing, where the package (1) comprising the product and the packing is subjected to a heat treatment at a specific temperature and for a specific duration. For protection of the packages (1), that would usually not be able to withstand the conditions in an autoclave, the following steps are used: Introduction of at least one package (1) into a protective casing (2?), Evacuation of the space between protective casing (2?) and package (1), Closing of the protective casing (2?) hermetically, and Autoclaving of the protective casing (2?) and package (1) in an autoclave. The corresponding apparatus is provided with one of each of the following units downstream of the filling unit: one repackaging unit, one evacuation unit, one autoclave unit and, if required, one unpacking unit.

Abstract: Shown and described is a composite material made of paper or cardboard as a base material with a plastic coating, in particular for light-, gas- and liquid-tight heat-sealable packages, whereby the plastic coating in each case has outer sealing layers and a barrier layer of metal is present between the base material layer and a sealing layer and a method for its production. According to the invention, a composite material should be provided, the base material layer of which is protected in such a way that a package produced therefrom can be sterilised with a product contained therein in an autoclave or such like, wherein the composite material should be produced simply and cost-effectively. This is achieved by the fact that a further barrier layer is provided on the other side of the base material layer.

Abstract: Shown and described herein is a procedure for manufacturing a composite material with temperature-resistant bonding agent and a composite material manufactured according to this procedure, in particular for sterilizable, pasteurizable or autoclavable packaging, with at least one barrier layer, wherein at least one bonding agent layer is provided to increase adhesion between the barrier layer and a plastic or cardboard layer. To entirely omit the heat post-treatment of the composite material, it is provided that the layer to be coated be heat treated before applying the bonding agent layer. The dimensions of the coating systems and associated investments are reduced as a result.
