Abstract: With respect to ceramic filters and filter systems for continuous metal melt filtration, to be able to counter high throughputs of steel melt and also the limitations of filter capacities during continuous casting, an alternative technological approach involves the use of novel, replaceable, and/or rotatable filter bodies at positions in the distributor channel. In some cases, the replaceable and/or rotatable filter bodies may be inserted into the distributor channel for 10 seconds to 30 minutes before being replaced. The filter bodies may be configured as an open-celled foam ceramic or a honeycomb body or a spaghetti filter and serve as a filter geometry of the replaceable and/or rotatable filter bodies in the distributor channel.

Abstract: Driving system with converter control for low voltage three-phase motors, which is provided with a power unit containing transistors and capacitors, a triggering unit for the transistors and a control unit as well as connections for direct and alternating current, the units being disposed in a common casing made of a heat-conductive material, characterised by the following features: the power unit is provided with a first printed circuit board (24) made of fairly heat-conductive material, which is disposed on the fairly heat-conductive bottom of the casing (12) in a plane fitting arrangement, a second printed circuit board (26) contains the triggering unit, the second printed circuit board (26) being electrically and mechanically connected to the first printed circuit board (24) in a spacing to it with the aid of contact pins (30) of metallic material attached on the first printed circuit board (24) by soldering, and terminal pins (22) are connected with contact points (38) of the first printed circuit board
