Abstract: The invention relates to an industrial truck having a first load-bearing component (12) and a second load-bearing component (14) which are provided such that they can move in relation to one another for the purpose of carrying out a conveying movement, a sensor scale (22) being provided on one of the load-bearing components (14) (scale load-bearing component) for the purpose of detecting the relative movement between the two load-bearing components (12, 14), and a sensor (24), which is designed to detect the sensor scale (22), being provided on the respective other load-bearing component (12) (sensor load-bearing component). The industrial truck is characterized in that the sensor scale (22) is designed integrally on the scale load-bearing component (14) such that a section (14a) of the scale load-bearing component (14) itself is the sensor scale (22).

Abstract: A process for producing polycarbonate is disclosed. The process entails obtaining an oligocarbonate produced by transesterification of diaryl carbonate with dihydroxyaryl compound in the presence of catalysts and introducing the oliogocarbonate into a reactor that enables continuous formation of free films at a rate higher than 10. The reactor including a horizontal cylinder equipped with a heating jacket, at least one vapor outlet, a feed nozzle an outlet nozzle, a rotatable cylindrical basket having a cylindrical perforated wall and annular discs positioned at intervals around the periphery of said basket and along the length thereof, and means for rotating said basket, the interior of said basket including no central shaft, the diameter of the cylindrical basket corresponding to about ⅔ of the diameter of the horizontal cylinder, and said discs being formed of perforated sheet metal.

Abstract: A machine for sealing bottles with sealing caps includes a transporting track for supplying sealing caps, a separating device for making available separated sealing caps and a transfer device for placing the separated sealing caps on the bottles. At least the transfer device is disposed in a sterile chamber and a spraying device is provided for introducing a sterilizing agent into the interior space of the sealing caps and a drying device is also provided for driving sterilizing agent out of the sealing caps.

Abstract: A method and a machine for preparing and filling containers with a product, for which method and machine the containers are grouped in rows at right angles to the transporting direction with the container openings facing upwardly and aligned at a distance from one another. The containers are swiveled, row by row, into an at least approximately vertical position with the container openings facing downwardly and rinsed jointly on the inside with a cleansing agent. The rinsed containers are dried on the inside in a first drying station and, after passing through the first drying station, are charged into a sterile environment. After a row of containers has entered the sterile environment, the containers are sterilized on the inside by means of a sterilizing agent and, in a second drying station, residues of sterilizing agent are expelled from the sterilized containers.

Abstract: The invention refers to a hydraulic circuit for limiting the torque of a hydrostatic hydraulic motor connected in closed circuit to a hydraulic pump, which in braking mode operates as a hydraulic pump, in which pressure control valves are connected before and after the hydraulic motor. For the solution of this problem to develop such a hydraulic circuit which limits the maximum torque at the shaft of the hydraulic motor to approximately identical values independent of the fact whether the hydraulic motor is operated in the motor mode or in the pump mode, the pressure control valves consist of pilot-operated pressure control valves (6,7; 8,9). There is provided at least one on-off valve (5) which, when the hydraulic motor (2) is in the motor mode, switches the pilot-operated pressure control valve of the pressure side to a higher maximum pressure, and in pump mode it switches the pilot-operated pressure control valve of the other pressure side to a lower maximum pressure.
