Abstract: A conveyor warewasher (1) which having at least one washing zone (6, 7, 8, 9), at least one rinsing zone (10) and at least one drying zone (26) and also a control device (36). In order to achieve an effective cleaning and drying of the washware, along with as low a consumption as possible of resources in terms of water, chemicals and, in particular, energy, there is provision for the control device (36) to be designed for selecting a previously defined or definable program sequence at least in the at least one drying zone (26) and for setting the process parameters associated with the selected program sequence automatically as a function of the conveying speed at which the washware is conveyed through the treatment zones (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 26) of the conveyor warewasher (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a dishwashing system (100) comprising at least one conveyor system (101) for feeding washware to one conveyor dishwasher (2, 2?) and a conveyor system (101) for feeding dishware to the at least one conveyor dishwasher (2, 2?) In order to further reduce the consumption of fresh water, chemicals and energy during operation, the invention provides a washware detector apparatus (51) which is designed to detect the number of units of washware, which are fed to the at least one conveyor dishwasher (2, 2?) with the aid of the conveyor system (101) per unit time, in a prespecified or prespecifiable region of the conveyor system (101). Furthermore, a control device (50) is provided which is designed to select a predefined or predefinable treatment program.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining grain loss of a harvesting machine. The harvesting machine has a crop-separating region with separating members. The separating members each have separation sensors for generating a signal corresponding to the crop quantity separated. This signal is delivered to an evaluating unit for further processing. Processing includes determining a separation curve for at least some of the separating zones and converting the separation curve to a characteristic quantity. From this measured characteristic quantity, a loss is determined based on a characteristic curve deposited in the evaluating unit. By avoiding direct loss measurement on the harvesting machine, the negative crop-related effects on determining grain loss are considerably reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor for determining the structure-borne sound vibrations generated by the impingement of grains on a pulse detector in an agricultural machine for harvesting crops and to a device for operational monitoring of the sensor and improved signal evaluation.Such sensors are used to monitor threshing and separating performance at various points in a harvesting machine. Depending on the area of application, various forms of a pulse detector are used. These can have the shape of a plate, a tube, a rod or other similar profiles. Attached to these detectors are vibration detectors. A particularly strong connection between the vibration detector and the pulse detector is achieved by using a piezo-ceramic vibration sensor and its attachment by means of a screw connection.
