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: Described are a device and a method for blow molding containers, whereby the device contains a plurality of blow-molding stations, each provided with at least one blow mold, whereby these blow-molding stations are arranged on a carrier, such as a blowing wheel. The blow-molding stations are supplied with an operating medium by means of a tempering device. To simplify the design and optimize the control, it is proposed to arrange the tempering device on the carrier such that the tempering device runs along with the carrier.

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.
