Patent number: 9033005Abstract: An apparatus to introduce a defined amount of a second powder into a process container in which a first powder or a powder mixture is present, includes a coupling flange having a cover flap located on the process container. The second powder is introduced into a tubular cartridge mounted displaceably in a transport unit, the latter including a joining flange having a cover flap. The joining flange is joinable to the coupling flange so that the respective cover flaps can be opened, and the cartridge can be pushed through openings thereby provided into the plane of the inner wall of the process container. The second powder is emptied from the cartridge into the process container by a delivery piston. The cartridge may include a piston rod having multiple pistons. Other embodiments include a double piston, a rotatable cartridge core or a rotary closure.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2014Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignees: Glatt Systemtechnik GmbH, Harro Hoefliger Verpackungsmaschinen GmbHInventors: Heinz Pritzke, Reiner Wurst, Wolfgang Knorr

Patent number: 7020984Abstract: The invention relates to a device for feeding a drying gas to a mixing granulator comprising a mixing chamber and a rotating agitator (3), on which mixer blades (4) are arranged in a radial position with respect to a drive shaft (5). The feeder line (6) for the drying gas is disposed inside the drive shaft (5) of the agitator (3). An exit line (7) is respectively connected in the region of each mixer blade (4), said line terminating in at least one outlet (8) arranged underneath and, in the direction of rotation, behind the mixer blades (s). The outlet (8) extends advantageously in at least partial manner along the mixer blades (4), embodied in the form of a slit or in a flat manner in the form of a porous element.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2002Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Glatt Systemtechnik Dresden GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Knorr, Barbara Jaensch

Publication number: 20040196367Abstract: The apparatus for performing reconnaissance, intelligence-gathering and surveillance over a zone is of the type comprising means forming a projectile launcher, a projectile (1) equipped with a camera (2) and with an image transmitter circuit (4), and a receiver member for receiving the images transmitted in this way. The launcher-forming means are of a type in which they are individual, manually operated, and portable so that they can be carried by an individual person. The projectile (1) is of small or medium caliber. The receiver member comprises a viewing monitor and a receiver circuit, both of which are small in size so as to form a receiver member that is also individual, and portable. The apparatus can be used and transported by a person on his/her own.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2003Publication date: October 7, 2004Inventors: Pierre Raymond, Volker Wegner, Wolfgang Knorr
