Abstract: A valve apparatus employs a spherical sealing element disposed in resiliently deformable tubing. The dimensions of the sealing element are selected such that the valve opens when subjected to a cracking pressure that is greater than the head pressure developed in an IV set and less than the pressure generated by a peristaltic pump. The valve additionally has an actuator element associated therewith that may be applied to the tubing about the sealing element to cause free flow without the need for continuous manipulation.

Abstract: The lower, intermediate storage vessel (3) is filled with a set weight of plastic granules by opening the upper storage vessel (9) outlet. The upper vessel is re-closed, whereupon it is refilled to a set weight. The sum of net weights in both vessels is the residual mass to be processed by the extruder. Transfer of plastic granules into the storage vessel is interrupted. This may be opened once or repeatedly, until the material charged has entered the intermediate storage vessel. Plastic granule transfer into the storage vessel is interrupted when it fills. Instantaneous filling of the intermediate storage vessel corresponds with the residual quantity for the current order. The contents of both vessels are charged into the inlet opening.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for controlling the speed of motion of a hydraulically operated machine, an operating system and a control device of the machine. The flow line (3) of the medium from the pump (2) to the machine (1) is divided into two branches (10, 11). By means of a valve (8), the second branch (11) can be set to feed medium either to the machine (1) or to return the medium to the tank (4) of the pump. Such a flow is led to the second valve (8), that at a speed of rotation of the pump lower than the highest speed of rotation, the difference between the flow supplied by the pump and the flow through the second branch produces the desired slowest speed on motion of the device. When the valve (8) is set to return the medium to the tank (4) of the pump, the flow from the pump (2) is adjusted by changing the speed of rotation of the pump.

Abstract: A chamber serving for a heat treatment of a particular food product, which for example can be pre-processed potato pieces which are to be prepared as French fried potatoes, and therefore have a content of evaporable substances, such as fat. In the chamber is a grid for, during operation, carrying the product, and one or more quartz lamps for generating heat for the process. The chamber is furthermore fitted with an exhaust channel which via a filter device connects the chamber to the open. Above the grid is placed a cabinet which is open at the bottom, for mounting the quartz lamps. The cabinet is via an inlet duct connected to the open. In the inlet duct is placed a ventilator for sending an air flow into the cabinet via the inlet duct. The air acts as a shield which keeps for example fat vapors at a distance so that they cannot come into contact with the quartz lamps and disintegrate in the high temperature of these. Thereby, it is prevented that unhealthy and malodorous substances are produced during the process. The air shield furthermore cools the quartz lamps, which thereby will attain a long life.
