  • Patent number: 8353255
    Abstract: By means of the device for coating a substrate (2; 102) according to the present invention, a homogeneous coating of the substrate (2; 102) can be achieved. The device comprises a holding and rotating means for holding and rotating the substrate (2; 102) about an axis (A). A disk (3) is provided below the substrate (2; 102). Said disk (3) is arranged coaxially with respect to the substrate (2; 102), has at least the same diameter as the substrate (2; 102) and is able to rotate synchronously with the substrate (2; 102). By means of the disk (3), air swirls at the edge of and below the substrate (2; 102) are avoided during coating of the substrate (2; 102). Thus, it is possible to obtain a homogeneous coating. For being able to load and unload a substrate (2; 102) into and out of the device by means of a conventional gripper system (6), the distance between substrate (2; 102) and disk (3) is increased during loading and unloading.

  • Patent number: 7740931
    Abstract: At a fire protection gate with an encompassing structure and bilateral steel plate shells, between which a fire protection inset is provided, consisting of at least an insulating element in the form of a plate of mineral fibers, soluble in a physical milieu and reinforced with a binding agent, the composition of the mineral fibers of said insulating element features an alkali/earth alkali-mass relation of <1 and the fiber structure of said insulating element is determined by an average geometrical fiber diameter of ?4 ?m, a gross density in the range of 60 to 130 kg/m3 and a portion of the binding agent, relative to the fiber mass, in the range of 1 to 3 weight %.

  • Publication number: 20070054082
    Abstract: In a large package for the transport and storage of mineral-wool insulation elements, especially insulation rolls (2) and insulation panels (11), which is made up of adjacent and/or stacked modules (5) that each comprise several, preferably two-to-five or more insulation rolls or insulation-panel packets (1, 10) combined by a film covering, and in which the modules are tied by wrapping elements such as hoods (12) or strap retainers (16) to form a storage and transport unit, the modules (5) are each protected in their entirety against water ingress by a waterproof covering (6) that is preferably permeable to water vapour.
