Abstract: The invention relates to a power system with an electric circuit connected between a power grid and a power source. The electric circuit includes a main power converter having main input terminals connected to the power source 16 by a DC link and output terminals. The main power converter is controlled by a controller. The electric circuit includes a main transformer having a primary winding 8a and a secondary winding, the primary winding being connected to the output terminals of the main power converter. Main switchgear is connected between the secondary winding of the main transformer and the power grid. An auxiliary transformer has a primary winding connected to the power grid in parallel with the main switchgear and a secondary winding connected to the controller. A pre-charge circuit is connected between the auxiliary transformer and the DC link.

Abstract: In a method of producing an injection-molded part, a material is processed and/or plasticized by means of a multi-screw extruder having a plurality of processing zones. An additive having barrier characteristics is admixed by a feed unit in at least one of the processing zones. The material is processed and dried in the extruder, and can then be transferred to a transfer reservoir for further processing.

Abstract: In a method for producing injection-molded parts, PET material is processed and/or plasticized by means of a twin-screw extruder having a plurality of processing zones. At least two processing zones are implemented as degassing zones. The processed and/or plasticized material is transferred to a transfer reservoir and then further processed by a piston unit.

Abstract: Apparatus for producing injection-molded parts, particularly PET preforms, includes a twin-screw extruder or multi-screw extruder for preparing and/or plasticizing material, preferably in granular form, which is transferred to a transfer reservoir. A piston unit further processes the material. The extruder has a plurality of processing zones, whereby at least two process zones are configured as degassing zones.
