  • Patent number: 7530505
    Abstract: The catching nozzle according to the invention for a powder conveying device has a tubular powder flow duct and a shoulder, with which the position of the catching nozzle is predetermined in the powder conveying device and that is arranged between a upstream catching nozzle section and a downstream catching nozzle section. The shoulder has a duct for dosage air, wherein the duct connects the upstream catching nozzle section to the downstream catching nozzle section. The downstream catching nozzle section is developed such that it forms, with a hose socket that can be pushed over the downstream catching nozzle section, another duct for dosage air in order to lead the dosage air up to the downstream end of the catching nozzle.

  • Patent number: 7464725
    Abstract: The air distributor according to the invention is provided with an air distributor housing (30) that has an assembly opening, a compressed air inlet (31.2) and a first and a second compressed air outlet (36, 37). The air distributor is further provided with a sheath (39) that can be built into the assembly opening and comprises an air channel (43, 44) that is connected to the first compressed air outlet (37). Lastly, the air distributor is provided with a setting element (38.1) that, together with the sheath (39), constitutes a first valve by means of which the compressed air inlet (31.2) can be connected to the first air channel (43, 44) and the first compressed air outlet (37). The setting element (38.1), together with the air distributor housing (30), constitutes a second valve by means of which the compressed air inlet (31.2) can be connected to the second compressed air outlet (36), where the opening widths (41, 42) of the two valves can be set by means of the position of the setting element (38.1).

  • Publication number: 20060177280
    Abstract: The fluidizing unit for a powder conveyor has a powder suctioning opening, a powder suctioning canal and a fluidizing ring, which is arranged above the powder suctioning opening and concentrically to the powder suctioning canal. Moreover the fluidizing unit has fixing means, which are developed in a way that they hold the fluidizing ring such that the outer surface area of the fluidizing ring remains at least partially free.
