Abstract: A cleaning device for use with an atomizer that applies paint to the surface of a component in a spray booth includes an external and internal surface in which a least a portion of one or more of the surfaces are coated with a conductive coating. This conductive coating comprises one or more fluoropolymers and may be static dissipative. The cleaning device further includes an exit port that has an aperture between about 2.54-7.62 cm located in the shroud of the device opposite the opening that receives the atomizer and near a bottom corner of the shroud. A kit used to retrofit existing paint spraying systems includes a fully assembled cleaning device and optionally, a regulator assembly capable of reducing the pressure of a cleaning fluid to about 80 psi. During installation, the regulator assembly is mounted external to the spray booth.
Abstract: A swivel fitting used to connect to various components in a fluid handling system is provided. The swivel fitting incorporates an annular chamfer surface to reduce the affect that the fitting has on the flow properties of the fluid when the fluid is caused to flow through the fitting. The use of the swivel fitting in a paint supply line is also described.
