  • Patent number: 8870992
    Abstract: A filter for precipitating solid materials from a pressure medium or a gas includes an inlet and an outlet channel implemented in a filter housing. A filter element is disposed in the filter housing. Pressure medium flows through an outer surface of the filter element by means of the inlet channel into an interior area, and from the area to the outlet channel. The outer surface of the filter element, together with an inner surface of the filter housing, delimits an inlet chamber in which the pressure medium encompasses the filter element. The inlet channel and/or the inlet chamber are thereby embodied such that a centrifugal force acting approximately radially to the filter housing acts on the medium flowing into the inlet chamber, whereby the particles can be filtered out of the pressure medium in addition to the filter element.

  • Patent number: 4540183
    Abstract: A method for production of lined gaskets or gasket inserts with which a pasty substance is arranged between the sealing surfaces (or correspondingly developed forms) and separated from these by two external layers, and hardened between the form-producing sealing surfaces. The pasty substance preferably contains a filler of quartz powder whose void fraction is filled with a 2-component artificial resin. The pasty substance can be applied with the assistance of a spray gun. A preferred form of construction of such a gasket contains a hardened material layer and a corrugated ring adjoining it, which, along an inner peripheral area are surrounded by a band-shaped shell and are arranged between two gasket insert rings, which for their part are surrounded by a customary shell of polytetrafluoroethylene or such-like.
