  • Patent number: 7017835
    Abstract: A rotary atomizer applies particulate paints with good color matching by reducing paint droplet size deviation and then optimizing the other paint spraying parameters. Paint droplet size parameters are reduced by using a bell cup having reduced flow deviations, including an overflow surface having a generally constant angle between a deflector and an atomizing edge.

  • Patent number: 7018447
    Abstract: A method of cleaning the adsorbent media of a rotary concentrator in-situ while maintaining operation of the concentrator, including directing washing liquid into the sectors in the desorb plenum, then rotating the sectors one full revolution plus at least one sector into the desorb plenum to bring a second sector into the desorb plenum, washing the second sector and repeating the cycle until all of the adsorbent media is washed. The method may also include directing washing liquid into sectors not located in the desorb plenum.

  • Publication number: 20060040060
    Abstract: Coating installation, specifically for painting automobile body parts, having at least two application robots (3, 5) for applying a coating means to a target, at least two handling robots (4. 6) for handling the target and two linear guides (1, 2) along which the handling robots (4. 6) and the application robots (3, 5) can be driven. It is proposed that each of the two linear guides (1, 2) carries at least one of the application robots (3, 5) and at least one of the handling robots (4. 6).

  • Patent number: 6991178
    Abstract: Two steering air currents that can be controlled independently of one another are directed onto the atomizing cone from the steering air ring of an atomizer for the series coating of workpieces, e.g., car bodies, wherein said steering air currents emerge at different radial distances from the atomizer axis and serve to adjust the width of the spray jet in different regions, such that the spray jet of one and the same atomizer can be optimally adapted to the respective workpiece region to be coated.

  • Patent number: 6986366
    Abstract: For the pig delivery of the coating material at high voltage in a system for electrostatic mass-production coating of workpieces in the vicinity of grounded parts of the system, a multi-layer tube is provided, whose innermost layer forms the piggable inner wall, while a second layer consists of a high-voltage-resistant isolation material and is surrounded by a protective outer layer.
