Abstract: In order to develop a fire-protection rolling door of the type in question such that the fire resistance duration and thermal insulation are improved and increased and in particular heat transfer points extending through the door are avoided, a fire-protection rolling door is proposed which is composed of: —a rolling-door armor of profiled plates which interconnected in an articulated manner; —a sheet-shaped intermediate layer of fire-retardant and thermally insulating material; and—overlapping cover plates, which fire-protection rolling door is held, in the open state, above an opening to be closed in the event of a fire, such that the fire-protection rolling door can be guided in guide rails disposed on both sides, the sheet-shaped intermediate layer having planar carrier segments, which are covered with at least one layer of fire-retardant and thermally insulating material on both sides.

Abstract: A self-cleaning woven wire screening or screen for classifying material. The screening includes a plurality interwoven warp and weft wires forming a plurality of openings in a screen section through which materials to be classified can pass through. The weft wires are preferably configured so that the high points or raised knuckles of the weft wires have a larger diameter, cross-sectional height or thickness than previously possible. Preferably, one or more of weft wires have a configuration that prolongs operational life of the screen or screening and obviates the need for protective encasement blocks (e.g., polyurethane encasement blocks) encasing the weft wires.
