Abstract: A mounting system for a spray manifold having a plurality of spray modules arranged in a lateral array with support assemblies between adjacent modules. The mounting arrangement includes one or more mounting assemblies which each have a hub that is securable about one of the manifold support assemblies and a clamp comprising a pair of clamping arms that is securable about the hub by means of an appropriate fastener. The hub and clamping arms define complementary circular surfaces which permit the selected pivotal positioning of the hub and the spray manifold to which it is secured relative to the clamp and a machine mounting structure.

Abstract: An automatic spray gun incorporates threadless, sanitary couplings for all air and fluid flow path connections for less contamination and lower maintenance. The spray gun nozzle body has threadless connection inlet couplings for air and fluid supply lines. There are threadless connections between the fluid tip and the nozzle body and between the air cap and the fluid tip. The nozzle body/fluid tip connection may incorporate multiple passageways for air and fluid flow; for example a center passageway for fluid flow plus annular middle and outer passageways for atomizing air and fan air respectively, for which seals such as O-rings or a full face gasket may be incorporated at this interface. The nozzle body may also have a threadless connection coupling for the actuator.

Abstract: A spray gun configured with a roiling wall diaphragm piston and vented piston cylinder connecting the needle to the needle actuator and isolating the liquid chamber of the nozzle body from the actuator section. The flange of the rolling wall diaphragm is sealed between the mating faces of the nozzle body housing and the actuator housing. The actuator is a double action air operated piston and cylinder. Sanitary, non-threaded quick disconnect couplings are used between the several components of the spray gun for easy cleaning and servicing of the nozzle body, tip and needle, and easy replacement of the rolling wall diaphragm.
