  • Electromagnetic coupling apparatus
    Patent number: 9906115
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electromagnetic coupling apparatus (10) for drive arrangements, comprising:—an armature disc arrangement (14) which comprises at least one armature disc,—a rotor arrangement (12). In the case of this coupling apparatus, provision is made for the armature disc arrangement (14) to comprise at least one air gap-adjusting unit (LE) which has a closure screw (42) and which interacts with a fastening screw (44) for fastening the armature disc arrangement (14) to a drive shaft (28) in order to adjust an air gap (LS) between the armature disc arrangement (14) and the rotor arrangement (12).

  • Magnetic glass particles for use in biogas plants, fermentation and separation processes
    Patent number: 8637300
    Abstract: A method for treating an organic and/or inorganic substrate utilizing a granular material made of a solid foam as support for an active component, for example a biocatalyst such as a microorganism or an enzyme. The solid foam has a continuous phase in which magnetizable particles are embedded, such that the support with the biologically active component immobilized thereon can be separated from a mixture with a magnetic separation device.
