  • Publication number: 20260145185
    Abstract: A nozzle includes a first nozzle section configured as a truncated cone, a first passage that forms a first nozzle opening in a top surface of the first nozzle section, and second passages forming second nozzle openings in the lateral surface of the first nozzle section. The second passages each have a passage axis tilted with respect to a parallel axis which extends parallel to the center axis of the nozzle. A nozzle assembly includes a feed line, a feed line opening, at least one nozzle comprising an inlet opening, and at least one nozzle holder comprising a receptacle. The nozzle defines a recess for abutment against the feed line, and the nozzle is releasably held and centered at the receptacle. The nozzle holder is held in a releasable manner at the feed line.

  • Publication number: 20250296094
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cyclone separator (1) for separating solids and/or liquids from a process stream, comprising a process space (3) which is formed at least by a surrounding wall (2) and a covering (5) and is round in cross section, an inlet port (4) which penetrates the surrounding wall (2) for enabling intake of the process stream into the process space (3) in the circumferential direction (U) of the process space (3), an outlet port (6) which penetrates the covering (5) for enabling the exit of the process stream from the process space (3) in the axial direction (A) of the process space (3), an immersion tube (7) which extends into the process space (3) from the outlet port (6) in the axial direction (A), and guiding means (11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4) extending centrally in the process space (3) in the axial direction (A) and impinging into the immersion tube (7). According to a first aspect of the invention, the cross section of the guiding means (11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.

  • Patent number: 9393662
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to apparatus for grinding rotary blades, in particular scythe-like blades or circular blades, in particular for machines for slicing food products. The apparatus includes at least one mount for a rotary blade to which the rotary blade can be attached and at least one grinding tool. The grinding tool and the rotary blade attached in the mount are movable relative to one another such that a blade edge extending at the periphery of the rotary blade can be ground by the grinding tool. The apparatus includes a measuring device for determining the extent of the blade edge and a control which is designed to use the determined blade edge extent for controlling the relative movement between the grinding tool and the rotary blade.
