Abstract: A power supply arrangement for a plurality of plasma generators includes a power input connection, a data connection, and an AC generator stage configured to convert a power from the power input connection into an AC power. The power supply arrangement is configured to ensure that the AC power is supplied to a first load as a first AC power and to a second load spatially remote from the first load as a second AC power, not simultaneously. The power supply arrangement is controllable in such a way that the first AC power and the second AC power have different characteristics in one or more of output current, output voltage, output frequency, output power, or output profile of current and/or voltage, and is configured to output a drive signal for an impedance matching apparatus assigned to one of the first AC power and the second AC power.

Abstract: A processing station for two-dimensional substrates including at least two processing units and at least two conveyor lines for substrates arranged in parallel to another, wherein both the processing units are placed between the two conveyor lines, and an arrangement for moving the substrates from the conveyor lines to the processing units and back is provided. The arrangement includes four linear conveyor units each having at least one substrate support, wherein a first linear conveyor unit leads from the second conveyor line to the first processing unit, a second linear conveyor unit leads from the first conveyor line to the first processing unit, a third linear conveyor unit leads from the first conveyor line to the second processing unit, and a fourth linear conveyor unit leads from the second conveyor line to the second processing unit.

Abstract: A screen bowl centrifuge having first and second conically diverging screen sections. And a method of separating solids from liquid of a slurry includes feeding a slurry from a conveyor hub to a cylindrical section of a bowl extending about the conveyor hub; scrolling the solids along the cylindrical section in a first direction and a majority of the liquid in a second direction opposite the first direction using at least one helical blade extending from the conveyor hub; and sliding the solids from the cylindrical section along a conically diverging screen section of the bowl that includes a first conically diverging section and a second conically diverging section, the first conically diverging section extending at a first angle to the axis and the second conically diverging section extends at a second angle to the axis, and the first angle is different from the second angle.

Abstract: A method of conveying imprint material and a printing table for a flatbed printing machine are described. The method of conveying imprint material, particularly solar cell wafers, in and out of a processing area of a flatbed printing machine includes the steps of moving the imprint material by means of a conveyor belt on a first conveyor belt section into the processing area, processing the imprint material and further moving the imprint material on the first conveyor belt section out of the processing area. An automatic checking of the first conveyor belt section for soiling or damage takes place and, as a function of the checking result, a moving-back of the first conveyor belt section into the processing area or a moving of a second conveyor belt section into the processing area takes place.

Abstract: A solid bowl screw centrifuge including: a drum having a solids discharge at a conical end and at least one discharge opening at an end opposite the conical end, the at least one discharge opening arranged with an axial drum lid; a screw rotatable at a different speed relative to the drum; a centripetal chamber section connected behind the drum lid with the at least one discharge opening; a centripetal pump arranged to discharge a liquid phase from the solid bowl screw centrifuge; and an adjustable throttling device connected in front of the centripetal pump in the centripetal chamber section, the adjustable throttling device being assigned to the at least one discharge opening.

Abstract: A flatbed printing machine includes at least one adjustable side stop in an infeed area for the medium to be printed. The side stop is arranged between an infeed area edge and a feeder edge over which the medium to be printed is carried. The side stop is adjustable in a guide parallel to the infeed area edge and to the feeder edge. A link belt is provided, which link belt is capable of tracking the side stop and covering a gap that would otherwise occur between the infeed area edge and the feeder edge.

Abstract: A solid bowl helical conveyor centrifuge. The centrifuge includes a rotating drum, having a centrifuge space with a screw that can also rotate. An inlet tube for supplying a material for centrifugation into the centrifuge space, and at least one liquid discharge and at least one solids discharge, wherein the liquid discharge and/or the solid discharge is/are designed as at least one or more openings in a rotating part of the solid bowl helical conveyor centrifuge, in particular through openings in the drum wall. At least one of the openings is covered by a housing which encloses the drum of the solid bowl helical conveyor centrifuge in only some sections, between the at least one housing and the drum and/or other rotating elements of the solid bowl helical conveyor centrifuge (drum heads, hubs) at least one or more gaskets are provided.
