Abstract: An apparatus for irradiating a section forming an end portion of a length of a sheet-like material comprising a layer containing a photosensitive substance, where the boundary between said section and the rest of the length of material is defined by a divisional line, said apparatus comprising a supporting device defining a concavely curved, substantially circular cylindrical surface part; means for feeding the section in a first direction and into a first position in which the section is in abutting engagement with the cylindrical surface part and extends peripherally along the cylindrical surface part; irradiating means capable of irradiating at least a major part of said layer of said section containing said photosensitive substance and being adjacent to said divisional line; means for moving the length in a second direction substantially opposite to the first direction to a separating position, and separating means positioned at the separating position for separating the irradiated section from the rest o

Abstract: A method for individual transfer of offset printing plates from a magazine in which the plates are supported at their lower edges and stacked with their respective non-coated sides facing upwards, to a receiving table. The receiving table receives each plate with the non-coated side of the plate facing downwards. The uppermost plate of the stack is gripped by a gripping device engaging the non-coated side of the plate in such a manner that the plate is retained by the gripping means during the transfer to the receiving table.

Abstract: A cylindrical freezing drum for a slice ice making machine and method of producing the freezing drum. The freezing drum is supplied with a freezing medium to one side of a drum wall and with a water to an opposite side thereof and cooperates with a scrapper arrangement for successively scrapping off the ice produced on the drum, with the drum being made of steel and provided with an exterior metallic coating. The metallic coating is an aluminum coating applied by an arc spray method. At least one cylindrical side of the steel drum is provided with a corrosion protective metallic coating by applying to the drum surface a layer of aluminum and thereafter turning the drum surface to an accurate cylindrical shape.
