Installations and methods for treating glass containers.

An apparatus and to a method for treating layers using a plasma zone sealed from the outer atmospheric pressure are provided. The apparatus and method include a plasma reactor including a substrate carrier in form of a container receiving means, and a closing element that is joined with the substrate carrier by means of a lifting device.

The system includes a robot multi-jet system having a spray section, a drier section, and a catalyst section. The drier section includes a warm air blower, the catalyst section includes a photocatalyst tank, and the spray section includes a plurality of jet extensions. A first jet extension connected to the photocatalyst tank sprays a uniform layer of a photocatalyst through a first set of jets, and a second jet extension that is mechanically connected to the drier section and in fluid communication with the warm air blower is configured to spray a gas onto an inner surface of the glass tube with a second set of jets. Both the drier section and the catalyst section are mounted on wheels to move the system on the inner surface of the glass tube. A motor is electrically connected to a battery mounted within the robot and mounted to the wheels.

The invention relates to a method for treating the wall of a glass container (1), which wall delimits a cavity (4) and an opening providing access to said cavity (4), the method comprising: the dispensing of a treatment substance into the cavity, using a dispensing means (12) of which a dispensing orifice (13) is positioned some distance from the opening of the container (1) and outside the latter, the container (1) being in motion relative to the dispensing means (12), and the capturing, by an image-capturing device (16), during the dispensing, of at least one image of a spatial region including the opening of the container (1) and determining, by analysing said image, whether or not a predetermined quantity of substance was introduced into the cavity (4) of the container (1). Method and installation for treating glass containers.

In an exemplary embodiment, a quartz glass crucible 1 includes: a cylindrical crucible body 10 which has a bottom and is made of quartz glass; and crystallization-accelerator-containing coating films 13A and 13B which are formed on surfaces of the crucible body 10 so as to cause crystallization-accelerator-enriched layers to be formed in the vicinity of the surfaces of the crucible body 10 by heating during a step of pulling up a silicon single crystal by a Czochralski method. The quartz glass crucible is capable of withstanding a single crystal pull-up step undertaken for a very long period of time, such as multi-pulling, and a manufacturing method thereof.

Urea and amine comprising sol-gel hybrid coatings have been developed for numerous applications, including capillary microextraction-high performance liquid chromatographic analysis from aqueous samples. A fused silica capillary may be coated from the inside with surface bonded coating material and may be created by in-situ sol-gel reaction(s). Urea-functionalized coatings can be immobilized on the inner surface of a capillary by condensing silanol groups of capillary and sol-solution. Urea functionalized, sol-gel coated capillaries may be installed, e.g., in HPLC manual injection ports, and optionally pre-concentrated analytes including phenols, ketones, aldehydes, and/or polyaromatic hydrocarbons, from highly polar to non-polar, maybe analyzed by online extraction and high-performance liquid chromatographic. Such coatings may achieve sensitivities with lower detection limits (S/N=3) of 0.10 ng/mL to 14.29 ng/mL, with reproducibilities of <12.0% RSD (n=3), or <10.0% RSD (n=3) by exchanging the capillary of the same size.

A fused quartz crucible for pulling a single crystal of silicon by the Czochralski technique, has an inner side with an inner layer of fused quartz that forms a surface, the inner layer being provided with a crystallization promoter which on heating of the fused quartz crucible during use, in crystal pulling, causes crystallization of fused quartz to form b-cristobalite, wherein the concentration C of synthetically obtained SiO.sub.2 at a distance d from the surface is greater than the concentration of synthetically obtained SiO.sub.2 at a distance d2 from the surface, where d2 is greater than d. Multiple crystals can be grown while maintaining high crystal quality.

A pharmaceutical container of the present invention is a pharmaceutical container including at least a container and a coating layer, and is characterized that the coating layer is coated on at least an inner surface of the container and the coating layer contains a silicone-based resin.

A coated glass container includes: a glass surface; and a coating that coats at least part of the glass surface to form a coated glass surface. The coating includes at least one layer. The coated glass container fulfills the following parameter: leaching of [Na] ions after an alkaline treatment is 10 mg/l or less [Na] ions.

Apparatuses and methods for on-line internal siliconing of glass bottles including a baking station for baking the siliconed bottles; wherein a siliconing station includes a support designed to selectively receive one bottle at a time, an injection device facing towards an inlet opening of the bottle, a mobile device for selectively blocking the injector against the inlet opening, a selective feeding device for feeding filtered compressed air and liquid silicone to the injector, the injector provided at the front, towards the support, with a drainage channel communicating with the inlet opening; an emitter to send towards a sensor and through the bottle on the support a beam of electromagnetic radiation; and a control unit to selectively inject into the bottle a mixture of silicone and compressed air and to process a signal emitted by the sensor to control the feeding device and/or a manipulator to discard defective bottles.
