Abstract: Method for controlling a filling system for liquid or solid products, particularly food industry products, including a method for analyzing a dynamic state of the filling system including the method steps: acquisition of image sequences in at least one portion of the filling system, and evaluation of the image sequences by calculating an optical flow from an image sequence of a given number of frames; evaluating the optical flow; and outputting control signals for the filling system when the evaluation of the optical flow announces or indicates a deviation from a normal operating state.

Abstract: In a blow mold for manufacturing blow molded or stretch-blow molded containers with mold support parts movable relative to each other by a force-transmitting actuation mechanism for opening, closing and locking mold parts defining a mold cavity and mounted to the mold support parts, each mold support is an integrally formed composite component with areas of different materials, wherein at least one first area of a material in the mold support part predominantly is a force transmission element, while at least one second area of another material predominantly is a filling or enclosing or spacer element.

Abstract: A method and a device for providing a raw material for the production of PET containers, the raw material being mixed from recycled PET (r-PET) and virgin PET (v-PET), where in order to optimize both the plant and the method, v-PET is added in a quantitatively controlled manner to the r-PET prior to the last heating of the r-PET or to the heated r-PET.

Abstract: A method for automatically inspecting a beverage processing plant including determining at least one measured quantity of a liquid medium by at least one sensor, where the liquid medium is produced, used and/or treated in at least one treatment device of the beverage processing plant, and where the determination is carried out after the production, use and/or treatment of the liquid medium, comparing the determined measured quantity with a predetermined set value for the measured quantity, and, if a deviation of the determined measured quantity from the predetermined set value is detected, determining a cause for the deviation and/or a source of the deviation on the basis of the value of the deviation and/or on the basis of the determined measured quantity.
