Described herein is a production system including a unit, wherein the unit includes a subunit () for continuous manufacture of formulations. The subunit includes a combination of a small-volume process mixer and a buffer tank, means of feeding defined amounts of feedstocks into the process mixer, a measurement unit for ascertaining properties of a formulation manufactured in the process mixer, an evaluation unit for determining a deviation of properties of the formulation manufactured in the process mixer from the properties of a predefined target state, and a unit for adjusting the feed of feedstocks in view of the deviations. Also described herein is a process for manufacturing formulations.

Production system for producing formulations

The present invention relates to a production system for manufacturing of formulations, comprising a unit (). The unit () includes a subunit () which includes a combination of a process mixer and a buffer tank, means of feeding defined amounts of feedstocks into the process mixer, a measurement unit for ascertaining properties of a part-batch of a formulation manufactured in the process mixer, an evaluation unit for determining a deviation of properties of the part-batches manufactured in the process mixer from the properties of a predefined target state, and a unit for adjusting the feed of feedstocks in view of the deviations. The present invention also relates to a process for manufacturing formulations.

Described herein is a modular production system for the production of formulations, the module production system including a first unit for the production of formulations and a second unit for the receipt and removal from storage of piece goods and loading units and for the provision of piece goods. Also described herein is a process for producing formulations using the modular production system.

Modular production system and method for producing formulations

A locking-ring closure for fastening lids on containers has: at least one screw lock and further has an open locking ring () having a U- or V-shaped cross section, bearing blocks () and () arranged at the ends of the locking ring, one of which bearing blocks has a through-passage hole and the other an internal thread, a screw () which extends through the through-passage hole in the one bearing block () and engages by way of its thread in the internal thread of the other bearing block (), wherein the screw extends beyond the width of this bearing block and, on the portion that emerges from the bearing block, carries a fixed threaded ring () enclosing said portion. The screw () has, at its end opposite the screw head (), a portion () adjacent to the threaded ring and arranged on that side of the threaded ring () that faces the screw head, which portion () has no thread engaging in the internal thread of the bearing block () and extends at least over the width of the bearing block.

Locking-ring closure having at least one screw lock

The invention relates to dispersions which are obtainable from sheet silicates, a protective colloid and an aqueous dispersant and are suitable for the incorporation of sheet silicates into water-dilutable coating compositions. The dispersions according to the invention are obtainable using poly(propylene oxide) as the protective colloid, and the poly(propylene oxide) contains no hydrophobic terminal groups, has on average at least one hydroxyl group per molecule and may optionally contain up to 40% by weight of --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O-- units.
