  • Patent number: 12078258
    Abstract: A pneumatic valve apparatus for a compressed air device, including: a pneumatic solenoid valve having a housing body with a supply channel, a consumer channel and a vent channel, wherein the housing body surrounds a valve chamber, in which a valve body can be moved along a valve axis counter to the force of a valve spring by an actuator relative to a vent valve seat leading to the vent channel and relative to a supply valve seat leading to the supply channel, wherein in a first position, the valve body opens the valve chamber and the vent valve seat leading to a vent channel, and, in a second position, opens a supply channel leading to the supply valve seat and the valve chamber, wherein the housing body comprises a diffuser, which adjoins the vent valve seat leading to the vent channel.

  • Publication number: 20230285920
    Abstract: The invention relates to processes for recycling waste materials containing valuable metals in a fluidized-bed furnace (100), comprising the phases I, start-up of the fluidized-bed furnace; and II, continuous reprocessing of the waste materials containing valuable metals, characterized in that the fluidized-bed furnace (100) is operated autothermally during the phase II of continuous reprocessing of the waste materials containing valuable metals, with the process temperature being regulated via the fill level of the fluidized-bed furnace (100) and the flow rate of material through the furnace. The invention further provides an apparatus comprising a fluidized-bed furnace (100) for recycling waste materials containing valuable metals in a continuous autothermal process.

  • Patent number: 11339021
    Abstract: A device for winding and changing reels of web material includes two independently operable central drives for shifting winding shafts, a drivable winding shaft guide, a contact roller unit and slitting units. Both right-hand winding and left-hand winding are realized, whereby the device is without a prewinding station. For a winding shaft change, the drivable winding shaft guide is driven from the winding position into the parking position and is disconnected. Subsequently, the second central drive is connected to the winding shaft guide and is driven from its parking position into the winding position where the second central drive is connected with a new winding shaft. The contact roller unit is driven against the winding shaft and the web material is cut through by a slitting device and then wound to a new reel.

  • Patent number: 8636249
    Abstract: A storage system for an emergency apparatus provided in a conveyance includes at least one structure-holder connectable to a structural component of the conveyance. A frame is attached to the at least one structure-holder, and a carrier is configured to receive the emergency apparatus. A locking apparatus has a locking position in which the carrier is fastened to the frame, and an unlocking position in which the carrier is detached from the frame. A belt element is fixedly connected to the carrier. A first end of a retaining belt is connectable to a structural component of the conveyance via a belt-winder, and a second end of the retaining belt is fastenable in a detachable manner via a belt lock to the belt element.
