Abstract: A paint booth is provided with a booth body and a purifier. The purifier is provided with a water tank, water rope formation mechanism, sludge removal mechanism, exhaust mechanism, barrier member, inclined plate, and windshield plate. Water falling from nozzles of a water case forms water ropes. The inclined plate has a water receiving surface sloping forwardly down from the barrier member toward a water surface of the water tank. A lower end of the windshield plate is in contact with water in the water tank. An airflow reversal section is formed between a lower end of the inclined plate and the water surface. Air directed downward from an airflow inlet is turned upward at the airflow reversal section and directed to an exhaust chamber through air circulation sections.

Abstract: A filtering apparatus has a filter tank, a conveyer having a scraper, a primary filter, and a cylindrical rotating secondary filter. The filter tank is divided into a first filter tank portion and a second filter tank portion by the primary filter. Sludge deposited at the bottom of the first filter tank portion is conveyed toward a sludge discharge portion by a first portion of the scraper. A liquid in the first filter tank portion is filtered by the primary filter and flows into the second filter tank portion. A liquid in the second filter tank portion is filtered by the secondary filter and supplied to a clean tank. The sludge adhering to the secondary filter is dropped onto the primary filter.

The filter media accommodation case includes a nonmagnetic mesh member of a nonmagnetic material and magnetism intensification plate of a magnetic material. When the magnet is in the first position, the magnetic granular filter media and nonmagnetic mesh member are located between the magnetism intensification plate and the magnet.

Abstract: A filter device has a filter tank into which a contaminated fluid is introduced, a magnetic ball filter medium using a large number of metal balls, magnets, and lift rods. The magnetic ball filter medium is formed of an aggregate of a large number of spherical metal balls of a magnetic material and is held in a filter medium storage portion in a manner such that the metal balls are movable relatively to one another. The magnets are movable between a first position and a second position. When in the first position, the magnets apply a magnetic field to the metal balls, thereby causing the metal balls magnetically to attract one another and so that the metal balls are fixed to one another. When in the second position, the magnetic attraction between the metal balls is canceled so that the metal balls are movable.

Abstract: A filter device is provided with a filter tank, a filter drum disposed in the filter tank, and a drive mechanism which rotates the filter drum. The filter element is composed of a porous plate that is formed with a large number of circulation holes. The porous plate is formed into a cylindrical shape. An inlet port opens in an outer peripheral surface of the porous plate. An outlet port opens in an inner peripheral surface of the porous plate. The circulation hole is formed by etching. A smallest opening of the circulation hole is formed between the inlet port and an intermediate part with respect to a plate thickness direction. An opening width of the circulation hole increases from the smallest opening toward the outlet port to form a tapered shape.

Abstract: A recovery apparatus comprising a running member which runs between a first position where the member is immersed in the liquid stored in a reserve tank and a second position where the member projects upwards from a surface level of the liquid, and a bucket which is secured to the running member and which scoops the floating matter floating at the surface level of the liquid, while moving from the first position to the second position. The bucket comprises a bucket body which has an opening for allowing the liquid containing the floating matter to flow in, and which gradually narrows downwards from the opening, partition plates which extend downwards from the opening and face each other and which block the floating matter flowing from the opening, and discharge ports which are made in the bucket body and open at a position lower than the opening.

Abstract: A cyclone-type separator comprises a hollow cylindrical main body in to which liquid containing foreign matter is introduced, a clean room provided in an upper end of the main body, a communication pipe which connects the clean room to an interior of the main body, and a porous separating pipe arranged in the clean room. As the liquid swirls in the main body, an eddy stream is generated. A columnar air layer and a clean liquid layer are formed, both aligned with the centerline of the eddy stream. The air layer and the liquid layer are guided via the communication pipe into the separating pipe. At the bottom of the clean room, there are provided a first reservoir for storing the liquid coming through the separating pipe, a second reservoir for storing the liquid flowing from the first reservoir, and a coolant outlet port for discharging the clean liquid.
