  • Patent number: 8191448
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting device for a film of an endless web, which includes at least one blade for severing the film. A blade holder which receives and fixes the blade thereto is disposed on a base ring. The base ring in turn, is rotatably supported on a flange element. The blade is disposed in the blade holder in such a way that upon a rotation of the base ring, severing of the film by the blade is effected.

  • Publication number: 20100075587
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus, in particular for processing toxic and/or medical media, including a closed-off work chamber, in which the medium can be manipulated. A ventilating device delivers a particle-free or laminar or turbulent air stream to the work chamber. A return air conduit communicates with the work chamber via an outlet opening and by way of which air is carried away from the work chamber. A cleaning element is disposed in the work chamber, to enable cleaning of the work chamber and of the return air conduit. At least one blocking device blocks off an additional connecting portion between the work chamber and the return air conduit. The blocking device is able to be opened for cleaning of the return air conduit.

  • Patent number: 6651404
    Abstract: A packaging machine comprising a machine stand and an insulator housing sealingly connected to the machine stand. The connection to the machine stand is made via retainers, disposed on the machine housing, with a profile frame of the insulator housing resting on the retainers. Between the insulator housing and the machine stand, a gap is formed, in which a sealing element is disposed. The packaging machine according to the invention makes standardized machine stands possible, as well as a structure that is simpler from the production standpoint, because less stringent tolerances are required.

  • Patent number: 6619901
    Abstract: An apparatus for air guidance in a processing chamber has a housing with an entrance gate and an exit gate. Inside the housing the processing chamber is embodied for filling and sealing small bottles or ampules. The processing chamber is separated from an outside region via an intermediate region. The intermediate region having a movable door by means of which manual interventions in the processing chamber can be made. The apparatus also has a ventilation system with a blower and a clean-air filter which inside the processing chamber generates a laminar air flow. By means of special air pressure ratios in the processing chamber the intermediate region the entrance gate and the exit gate, the occurrence of contamination, or its exceeding a tolerable amount, in the processing chamber (12) and the outside region is avoided.
