  • Patent number: 7128107
    Abstract: A device for dosed allocation of a flowable material component with at least one supply container for receiving the material component has an outlet and an associated removal device having an inlet via which the material component can be removed from the supply container in dosed charges by a screw and a controllable drive. The supply container and the removal device can be moved relative to each other to connect the outlet of the supply container to the inlet of the removal. The screw is disposed, without drive, in the region of the outlet of each supply container and comprises an outlet-side coupling means. The controllable drive is disposed in the region of the inlet of the removal device and comprises a drive shaft with a terminal coupling which can be connected to a coupling of the screw for secure mutual rotation therewith. A supply container and a removal means for such a device as well as container scales with a removal means of the above-mentioned type are also proposed.

  • Publication number: 20060225808
    Abstract: An installation for gravimetric combining of individual bulk good components from a series of storage containers each having a dosage device and with a bulk product chute for combining into a mixture in a transport container, the transport container cooperating with a weighing device and can be disposed beneath the bulk good chutes of the storage containers and, in dependence on the recipe for mixture, can be brought into contact with the chutes of the corresponding storage container and, subsequent to weighing of the correspondent component, can be brought to a discharge location, is characterized in that a stationary weighing device is provided below each bulk product chute and rails are disposed between the chutes and the weighing devices for accepting a shuttle holding a transport container, wherein each weighing device has an a lifting device by means of which a transport container can be lifted out of the shuttle and be brought into contact with a chute disposed above same for weighing in a component.

  • Patent number: 6235362
    Abstract: An arrangement of two elements to be connected to each another of thermoplastic material is proposed. For instance, an annular coil (7) is disposed in a tight housing; the housing (8) and the coil body (1) comprise the thermoplastic material with different melting points, and the two intermesh with one another via grooves. The housing (8) sheathes a coil end plate (3), in the form of an extension, almost completely on at least one side, that is, the side on which the coil end plate is disposed. On the other face end (4) and on the outer circumference of the coil end plate (3), the coil end plate (3) has annular grooves (5, 6), into which the thermoplastic material of the housing (8) can be introduced during the sheathing in a hardening manner.

  • Patent number: 4812047
    Abstract: An apparatus for the gravimetric dosing of flowable components, whereof at least one is a liquid, e.g. for producing mixtures, has a storage container and a weighing container for each component, together with a feed line connecting said container, as well as a weighing frame with a balance for all the weighing containers and a discharge line for each weighing container leading to a mixing device. Each discharge line contains a shutoff valve near the mixing device. The weighing containers are filled with the individual components up to a predetermined level and then each component is discharged from the weighing container into the mixing device in the subtraction process. This permits an accurate dosing of components with different physical characteristics and different flow behaviors, even in the case of high viscosity liquids.
