Patent number: 12523425Abstract: A drying device contains an upper drying head and a lower drying head. The upper drying head is arranged above a transport plane, in which objects to be dried can be transported in a transport direction through the drying device. The lower drying head is arranged below the transport plane. The upper drying head and the lower drying head contain in each case at least one air outlet slot and the longitudinal directions of the air outlet slots essentially extending parallel to the transport plane and transversely to the transport direction, and in which slot planes, in which the air outlet slots extend, intersect the transport plane at angles which are greater than 0° and less than 90°.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2023Date of Patent: January 13, 2026Assignee: RENA Technologies GmbHInventors: Markus Uihlein, Stefan Hansen, Tobias Rosshart

Patent number: 12217990Abstract: In a method for treating objects, the objects are transported through a basin by a transporting device. Treatment solution is introduced into the basin by way of at least one feeding device, which is provided with upwardly directed outlet openings. The treatment solution is sprayed upwards by the upwardly directed outlet openings to form jets of treatment solution. The objects are transported through the basin over the upwardly directed outlet openings and a downwardly facing surface of the objects is brought into contact with the jets of treatment solution during the transport of the objects through the basin. There is also described a treatment apparatus for carrying out such a method.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2019Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: RENA Technologies GmbHInventors: Benedikt Straub, Markus Uihlein, Florian Kaltenbach, Stephan Alexis Pediaditakis

Patent number: 11823931Abstract: A method for detaching a liquid lamella from a substrate edge is provided. A tear-off front is configured at at least one point of the liquid lamella. A width of the liquid lamella is then reduced by guiding the tear-off front along the substrate edge. Thus, the width of the liquid lamella prior to being torn off the substrate edge can be reduced by at least 50%, as compared to an original width of the liquid lamella.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: RENA Technologies GmbHInventors: Stefan-Heinrich Hansen, Markus Uihlein, Bernd-Uwe Sander, Stephan Alexis Pediaditakis

Patent number: 8408128Abstract: A method for operating a cleaning apparatus, having a trough and a brush disposed in the trough, in a printing press, includes first, second and third steps. In the first step, a cylinder of the printing press is cleaned by the cleaning apparatus, with the brush bearing against the cylinder. In the second step, the brush is moved away from the cylinder, and a level of a liquid in the trough is changed, resulting in the liquid being brought into contact with the brush. In the third step, the brush is cleaned by the liquid in the trough. A printing press for carrying out the method is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2009Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Stephan Balleis, Rainer Hofmann, Patrick Roth, Bernd Sitzmann, Markus Uihlein
