  • Patent number: 8770669
    Abstract: A cutting tool configuration for a ground milling machine, for example, a cold milling machine or a mining drill, is provided. The cutting tool configuration comprises a cutter holder, which is fastenable or fastened on a milling drum, a cutting tool, which is fastened on the cutter holder, and which is inserted using its cutting tool shaft in a cutter holder bore of the cutter holder and can rotate around its longitudinal axis, and a wear disc, which is situated rotation-locked between a stop surface of the cutter holder and the cutting tool head of the cutting tool, it being provided that the rotation lock between the wear disc and the cutter holder is caused by at least one groove formed on the outer circumference of the wear disc and a guide formed on the cutter holder and engaging in this groove. A wear disc for use in such a cutting tool configuration, and a cutting tool having such a preinstalled wear disc, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8297877
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotor box for a ground and/or road milling machine such as, in particular, for a road miller or a trench cutter which surrounds at least one milling rotor for removing ground material (B). It is provided that the wall of this rotor box is configured at least in one section with an enlarged distance from the milling rotor in order to allow a specific guiding of the milled material away from the milling rotor in this region of the rotor box and that at least one separating device is disposed between this section of the wall and the milling rotor, which prevents contact of the guided-away milled material with the milling rotor in this region. The present invention further relates to a ground and/or road milling machine such as in particular a road miller or trench cutter having at least one such rotor box.

  • Patent number: 8101226
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a solid product comprising an extrudable mixture of an oil in water emulsion and a solid matrix. The solid product may be used in foodstuff e.g. as a beverage additive or as an instant beverage products or. The present invention further provides an oil in water emulsion that is stable under the conditions required to prepare such a solid product. Furthermore, in contrast to traditional spray- and freeze-dried powder based foodstuff additives like creamers, the solid product of the present invention spontaneously disperses when added to a aqueous media, i.e. stirring is not required. Furthermore, it may generate a foam without any foaming agents.
