摘要:
A method of measuring the thickness of a filter cake on a filter element of a settling tank filter, according to which a portion of the slurry introduced into the settling tank filter is in a continuous manner withdrawn therefrom in the form of a branched off stream and is passed through passage means in a filter body arranged opposite to and spaced from an adjacent filter element of the settling tank filter by a distance corresponding to the intended maximum thickness of the filter cake to be built up on the adjacent filter element. When the filter cake on the adjacent filter element has grown to its intended maximum thickness, it closes the passage means through the filter body while a filter layer settles on the filter body and filters the slurry of the branched off stream, the thus obtained filtrate being visible through a sight glass or the like and thus indicating to the operator that the filter cakes or the filter elements of the settling tank filter have reached their admissible maximum thickness.

An apparatus for applying closures, such as crown closures, to vessels and includes a rotary conveyor for receiving vessels at one point and closures at another point and for discharging vessels with closures thereon at still another point. The apparatus includes means to dislodge closures from a supply point to compartments on the conveyor and, further, includes a detecting device for detecting the presence of a closure in a compartment as the compartment approaches the point where a closure will be supplied thereto. The device is operable, when detecting a closure in a compartment, to prevent the dislodging of a closure from the supply point for the respective compartment.

A bottle cleaning machine, in which within the machine housing which comprises a plurality of spraying stations, the last spraying station is followed by a drip-off station from which a cover extends to the discharge station for the cleaned bottles, while said cover forms with the adjacent housing wall a passage through which steam clouds collecting in said passage are discharged.
摘要:
A vessel filling machine having a conveyor for conveying vessels to be filled in spaced relation through a filling region in which filling devices engage the vessels from above. In the absence of a vessel in a respective position of the conveyor, the respective filling device will move beyond the normal vessel engaging position thereof to a second position. Feeler elements are located along the filling region for detecting the positions of the filling devices. In the event a complete vessel is absent from a position on the conveyor, the feeler elements cooperate to actuate an instrumentality designed to clear debris from the position from which the complete vessel is absent and in the event the debris is not cleared from the position, the machine stops.
摘要:
A filling structure free from filling pipe means for counter pressure filling machines. A gas conduit extends coaxially from a tubular fluid discharge opening into a pressed-on vessel to be filled with liquid. The gas conduit has an opening for discharging the tension gas and limiting the drop height. The gas conduit is equipped with an electric control adapted to be influenced by the substance to be filled in for releasing a closing pulse for a liquid control valve.
摘要:
A filling unit for counterpressure container-filling machines with loading and return gas conveying tube means and with an electromagnetically controllable liquid control valve, in which the liquid control valve has a shaft surrounded by electromagnetic means, and in which the tube means comprises two coaxially arranged tubular members electrically insulated from each other and respectively provided with contact members adapted to be interconnected by liquid in the container being filled at the end of the filling operation to thereby close the energizing circuit for the electromagnetic means to cause the latter to stop further supply of filling liquid to the container.
