A closure for beverage containers that have a substantially cylindrical neck with an end opening and a closure cap includes a neck with an inside circumferential detent collar and a closure cap having an insertion shaft. A circumferential detent groove is provided on an outer circumference of the shaft. The detent groove corresponds to the detent collar, is profiled in a direction of insertion, and engages over the detent collar on a ring surface thereof that lies in the direction of insertion.

Closure for drink containers

The present invention relates to a container, in particular a large-volume disposable container, for example a keg () for accommodating liquids, in particular for accommodating drinks, and to an associated method for filling such a container. The container is provided with a connection fitting () with seal (). Upon delivery of the container, the connection fitting () and/or the seal () define/defines a passage () which is closed when the container is dispatched.

Container, and method for filling a container

A method of providing liquid-filled kegs and a manufacturing apparatus for performing the method of providing liquid-filled kegs, which method includes filling open plastic keg bodies with liquid, applying a disposable keg fitting, and releasing the neck of the filled, closed keg.

A method of reducing the volume of a non-returnable blow-molded brewery-specific beer keg and other non-returnable containers.

Method of reducing the volume of a non-returnable blow-molded brewery-specific beer keg and other non-returnable containers

A device for filling containers with a liquid by supplying the liquid at a predetermined rate of flow, the rate of flow being predetermined as a function of one or more parameter value(s) measured in parallel and in combination with rate values of at least one prior filling operation associated with the parameter values includes a sensor for measuring a parameter value at a fill point, an adjustable valve for presetting the rate of flow, and a control unit that adjusts the valve in accordance with the parameter value, the control unit having a memory in which are stored rate values of a prior fill operation associated with the parameter values, and that predetermines the current rate of flow in combination with the parameter values by making corresponding adjustments of the valve.

Method and device for filling in particular large-volume containers

The subject matter of the present invention is a container, in particular a large-volume disposable container made of plastic, such as a keg () for holding liquids of all types, for example, for holding beverages. The container is equipped in general with a connecting fitting () having a gasket (). According to the invention, the connecting fitting () and/or the gasket () define an unclosable passage () for reducing pressure inside the container during the subsequent automatic closing operation after a previously defined opening operation.

The method and the device are used to monitor the intensity of an electron beam. In order to detect changes in intensity of the electron beam, electromagnetic radiation directly or indirectly emitted by the electron beam is detected and evaluated. This particularly refers to the evaluation of ultraviolet radiation and/or radiation in the range of visible light.
