    Abstract: Method and apparatus for drying granular resin material by heating compressed air to a temperature prescribed for gas separation membrane operation, presenting the heated compressed air to a membrane separating out oxygen-size and smaller molecules to provide a stream of gas molecules of at least nitrogen-size at a pressure substantially that of the compressed air, heating the stream of gas molecules of at least nitrogen-size to a temperature at which dew point of the stream is no higher than -40 degrees F., and introducing the heated stream of gas molecules into a chamber for upward flow to atmosphere through granular resin material in the chamber.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an anvil (1) for an ultrasonic welding device (100), the anvil (1) comprising: —a working surface (2) formed on the anvil (1), on which working surface an object to be welded by means of ultrasonic vibrations is to rest; and—a bearing surface (3) formed on the anvil (1); wherein the bearing surface has two portions for the resting of the anvil (1) on a support surface formed on an anvil carrier (10); wherein the two portions at least partly include an angle in the range of 150° to 30°, 135° 45°, 135° to 95°, 95° to 45°, 120° to 60°, or 105° to 85° in an intermediate space lying between the two portions, which intermediate space lies outside of the anvil (1). The invention also relates to a corresponding anvil carrier (10) and to an ultrasonic welding device (100).

    Abstract: This invention relates to a sonotrode bearing for an ultrasonic welding device. The bearing comprises: a frame, wherein the frame at least partially delimits an opening for receiving the sonotrode; wherein the frame is designed in the region of the opening to support the sonotrode in the opening; wherein the frame is designed in such a way that, by the action of a force from the sonotrode on a first section of the frame, the frame deforms in such a way that a second section of the frame is thereby moved into the opening, wherein the second section is different from the first section. The invention also relates to a kit, a sonotrode, an ultrasonic welding device, a method for retrofitting an ultrasonic welding device and a use of the bearing or of the kit for supporting a sonotrode of an ultrasonic welding device.

    Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer fixture has an entrance and an exit for tubular extrudate passing therethrough; ultrasonic transducers within a closed chamber in position for passage of the tubular extrudate therebetween; and a vacuum source communicating with the chamber interior for maintaining sub-atmospheric pressure within the chamber. The water level in the chamber is controlled so that the ultrasonic transducers remain immersed in the water.
