  • Patent number: 6990749
    Abstract: An oven assembly for drying paint on a product transported by a conveyor includes a plurality of modules positioned in a generally abutting relationship. Each of the modules includes a roof, side walls, and a floor having a length and a width. The floor is formed from abutting floor panels reinforced by a plurality of support members spaced along the length of the floor and having a length greater than the width of the floor. The side walls include an inner side wall panel disposed in an overlapping relationship with the floor and a side wall cladding panel supported by the support members along the width of the floor thereby concealing thermal insulating material disposed between the inner side wall panel and the side wall cladding panel.

  • Patent number: 6820501
    Abstract: A differential static pressure measuring or activating device measuring fluid flow through a duct including two pitot tubes each including a proximal end connected to a valve, a distal end portion located in the duct extending generally parallel to each other and perpendicular to the air flow through the duct having open distal ends and a plate located between the distal end portions of the tubes creating a differential static pressure between the open ends of the tubes. The open distal ends of the tubes incline toward the plate such that the open ends face toward and away from the direction of the gas flow through the duct.

  • Patent number: 6723145
    Abstract: An under booth paint collection apparatus is positioned beneath a paint application booth that includes an air circulation system for painting a product with particulate paint. A plurality of discrete powder reclamation collectors are arranged in aligned rows beneath the booth. Continuously aligned air chambers are each positioned above one of the opposing rows of reclamation collectors. Each air chamber is defined by having opposed continuous side walls interconnecting said reclamation collectors. Each air chamber provides a continuous air plenum directing air and particulate paint not adhered to the product being painted from the application booth to the plurality of discrete reclamation chambers.

  • Patent number: 6666166
    Abstract: A spray application system includes an enclosed spraybooth area in which airborne particles are generated and a scrubber system is located below the enclosed spraybooth area. The scrubber system includes an inlet receiving water and air from the spraybooth area along with airborne particles. The scrubber system transfers the airborne particles to the water for cleaning the air. A generally downwardly opening noise reflector is located directly over the inlet of the scrubber system and is configured to reflect sound generated by the scrubber system back into the inlet of the scrubber system. The reflector is spaced from the inlet of the scrubber system a distance equal to approximately the width of the inlet.
