Abstract: Techniques described herein provide a method and a device for breaking down legumes. The method includes mixing legumes with an aqueous extraction agent to form a legume mixture and pre-comminuting the legume mixture by means of a conical pocket tool and/or a chamber tool that acts as a first rotor-stator homogenizer by adding an aqueous extraction agent through stator openings directly into a shearing and mixing zone of the conical pocket tool and/or the chamber tool. The method also includes incubating the pre-comminuted legume mixture by further adding the aqueous extraction agent, and fine grinding the incubated legume mixture by means of another chamber tool and/or a nozzle tool that acts as a second rotor-stator homogenizer.

Abstract: An apparatus for removeing microbes from flowing media, such as water, has an essentially cylindrical container, inside of which there is a reaction chamber with UV radiators arranged on a concentric circle, and it also has inlet and outlet openings for the medium to flow through the reaction chamber in a direction parallel to the cylinder axis and on a path maximizes exposure of the medium to the UV radiation.

Abstract: The plug-in socket joint secured against sliding movement is intended for socket pipes (1) manufactured by centrifugal casting, in which the spigot end (3) of one pipe may be inserted with radial play into the socket end (2) of the other pipe. In this joint, a sealing ring (8) and a clamping ring (14) structurally separate therefrom are arranged, said clamping ring being composed of a plurality of clamping segments (15) spaced from one another in peripheral direction. The latter have a spherical outer shell surface (17), are connected to each other in peripheral direction by means of a moulded-on intermediate layer of rubber or similar and each have a toothing (19) on their inner surface (18).

Abstract: The spigot-and-socket joint which is secured against sliding is designated for moulded parts and for socket pipes (1) produced by the centrifugal casting technique, with the spigot end (3) of the one pipe adapted to be slid, with radial play, into the socket end (2) of the other pipe. In the socket end there are arranged a sealing ring (8) and a separate clamping ring (14) comprising a plurality of circumferentially extending, spaced clamping segments (15) having a spherically convex outer surface (17) and, on their inner surface (18), a tooth system (19) which, in the presence of axial forces, presses radially onto the spigot end (3) as the spherically convex surface (17) cooperates with a pipe socket's inner surface (18) which tapers conically towards the end. An elastomer support member (20), which can be fixed in its position at the socket face end and supports the same, is provided on the clamping ring (14).
