The pipeline pig (5) may be used in pipeline systems used for the production of sterile food or pharmaceutical products.

Abstract: A solenoid valve is to be controlled in such a way that an armature of the solenoid valve assumes an intermediate position between an opened position and a closed position and the armature oscillates about this intermediate position with small deflections. For this purpose, a setpoint current value is generated on the basis of a target current value, wherein a ripple current value is superimposed on the target current value; this setpoint current value is compared with a measured current value and a differential current value is generated therefrom; an actuating current value is generated from this differential current value in a current regulator; and a control signal for controlling the solenoid valve is generated from this actuating current value in a control signal generator.

Abstract: A clean-in-place launching station with cleaning chamber (2) for cleaning a pipeline pig (16) is disclosed. The cleaning chamber (2) is equipped and configured to enable the pig to be completely surrounded by turbulently flowing cleaning fluid during the cleaning process. A plunger (3) capable of axially moving the pig (16) is completely encased within the cleaning chamber. The plunger (3) has at least one internal fluid channel (10) which connects the space in front of the front end (6) of the plunger facing the pig (16) with the space behind the back end (8) of the plunger.

Abstract: An apparatus for dissolving oil or PCB which exists in the electrical insulation of parts to be cleaned, wherein a solvent is evaporated during a heating phase by an evaporator located with the parts in an autoclave. The solvent vapor condenses on the parts and penetrates into the electrical insulation to form an oil or PCB-solvent mixture. The apparatus provides for a plurality of intermediate pressure reductions which are carried out in the autoclave, and during each intermediatre pressure reduction the solvent is simultaneously evaporated from the oil or PCB-solvent mixture, directly from the autoclave. That is, during each of the pressure reductions, the solvent supply is discontinued and the mixture circulated through a circulating line. Following the completion of each intermediate pressure reduction, the pure oil or PCB present in a condensate vessel is pumped out by an intermediately located feed pump through a connecting line and into a reservoir.
