Abstract: A method for producing containers (10) filled with liquid, more particularly drinks containers, wherein plastic preforms are shaped into plastic containers (10) by means of a shaping device (2), these plastic containers are transported to a filling device (4) and are filled with a liquid by means of this filling device, wherein, on their transport path between the shaping device (2) and the filling device (4) the containers (10) are cooled, at least partly, by being charged with a liquid medium. According to the invention the containers are transported, at least during filling, within a clean room (20) which is delimited from an environment by means of a sealing device (62).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (100) for sterilizing plastic parisons (1), with a sterilization chamber (3) and a transport device (2) disposed at least partially inside the sterilization chamber (3) for moving the plastic parisons (1) within the sterilization chamber (3), wherein the transport device (2) has at least one gripping system (4) for engaging round and supporting the plastic parisons (1) by means of a gripping clamp (41), wherein the gripping system (4) has a displacement means (5) for displacement during sterilization within the sterilization chamber of contact surfaces (1A) of the plastic parisons (1) which are shielded by the gripping system (4) from a sterilizing medium and/or sterilizing radiation.

Abstract: A device for treating at least one container, preferably for filling at least one container with a fill product and/or for reshaping a container, comprising an isolator chamber containing a defined atmosphere, in which the treatment of the container is carried out, and at least one container channel for conveying the container into the isolator chamber or for conveying the container out of the isolator chamber, and a suction device for sucking air out of the container channel and out of the isolator chamber, and a supply air preparation unit for preparing the air to be fed to the isolator chamber, wherein the suction device is connected with the supply air preparation unit in such a manner that at least a portion of the air sucked out of the container channel and/or the isolator chamber is fed to the supply air preparation unit for renewed preparation.

Abstract: A method for blow molding and filling sterile containers of preforms in a container treatment device containing a blow module, in which the preforms are transferred from a heating device to the blow module via transport devices, and the containers are transported to a filling machine and filled, where a sterilization treatment is performed each at the preforms and the containers, a main sterilization treatment is performed at the preforms between the heating device and the blow module, and only a subsequent sterilization treatment is performed at the containers on the transport path to the filling machine. Further, a device having a main sterilization module between the heating device and the blow module, and a subsequent sterilization module between the blow module and the filling machine.

Abstract: A filling device for beverages includes a store tank for receiving a beverage supply, and a filling valve for filling packages with the beverage from the store tank. To reduce idle times in this filling device, a heat exchanger is integrated into the store tank and/or into the filling valve.

Abstract: An apparatus for transporting silicon wafers in a horizontal transporting direction into a printing device has two transporting units, which each have a traversing device and a holding means thereon. At least two transporting units each with a holding means are provided, wherein the traversing devices of said units run next to each other along the transporting direction. The holding means are each formed and arranged in such a way that an unloaded holding means has space to pass by a holding means loaded with a silicon wafer. The traversing devices are rails and the holding means are carriages mounted thereon.

Abstract: In a method for producing a front-side emitter electrode as front contact for a silicon solar cell on a silicon wafer, a depression is produced in the front side of said silicon wafer. A front-side n-doped silicon layer and an antireflection layer are then produced. A paste is then introduced into the depression, said paste containing electrically conductive metal particles and etching glass frit. Said paste, as a result of momentary heating, etches through the antireflection layer to the n-doped silicon layer making electrical contact with the latter. Afterwards, electrically conductive front contact metal is galvanically attached as front contact onto the heat-treated paste in the depression.

Subsequently, an electrically insulating protective layer (3) is arranged on the conductor tracks (5-8).

Abstract: A method for connecting a wire, such as a wire from a coil, to a terminal, includes placing a metal cap with an at least partially closed end over the terminal on which the wire has been wound. The partially closed end rests on the free end of the terminal post. The metal cap is melted onto the wire and the terminal by welding its at least partially closed end in an inert gas. The metal cap may be crimped onto the terminal before welding. The metal cap is preferably of sheet metal that is formed into the cap shape be bending, and may include a conically shaped edge on it open end.
