Abstract: A coating powder feed unit containing a powder pump which in a suction operating mode aspirates coating powder into a powder chamber (30) and in a pressure operating mode expels coating powder by means of compressed air out of the powder chamber (30). Said unit includes a pressure tester (64) measuring the compressed air pressure and generating a test signal based on the measured compressed air pressure.

Abstract: A powder spraycoating facility's powder recovery unit comprising a cyclone separator to separate coating powder from an air-powder mixed flow. The cyclone separator comprises a cyclone section separating powder from the powder-air mixed flow and a supply bin in the form of a downward-projecting extension of the cyclone section, said unit further comprising a powder passage in said cyclone from the cyclone section into the supply bin, said passage being devoid of powder blocking elements while being powder-tight relative to the atmosphere.

Abstract: A coating powder filtration system containing a fluidizing unit to fluidize coating powder upstream of a powder outlet.

Abstract: Powder feed device of a powder spraycoating apparatus. A pump is configured in the powder path from a sieve to an intermediate receptacle.

Abstract: In a powder spraycoating cabin or substructure for same, a cabin bottom contains bottom flaps configured near outer longitudinal walls and a walk-on bottom part situated between the bottom flaps. The bottom flaps are rotatable about an axis of rotation running in the lengthwise cabin direction, as a result of which the width of lengthwise bottom gaps situated bilaterally about the flaps can be varied. A suction duct is situated underneath. The walk-on bottom part is fitted with compressed-air outlets to blow compressed air toward/into the lengthwise bottom gaps.

Abstract: A compressed air throttle apparatus comprising at least one throttle valve adjusted by an electric motor, further an electric circuit fitted with contacting elements to alternatively interrupt and close the electric circuit in relation to the throttle valve settings. This throttle apparatus preferably is applicable to a compressed air path of powder spraycoating equipment.

Abstract: A spraycoating powder feed apparatus. It contains a powder pump of which the direction of feed is reversible and a conduit switch to alternatingly link either of two powder conduits to a powder hookup of the powder pump as a function of the conveyance direction of the powder pump.

Abstract: A powder spraycoating cart comprising two lateral posts fitted at their upper ends with a grip system and connected to each other by a control implement bin, said posts being connected at their lower ends by a base designed to support any one of several different powder containers.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic spraycoating control device implementing spraycoating methods and containing at least one manually driven program selecting element to select programs from two different groups of programs, further containing a plurality of manually driven parameter setting elements and display units to automatically display the adjusted parameter references values.

Abstract: A powder spraycoating gun and its gun housing. The spraygun housing is a plastic, integral body constituting a stock fitted with a powder discharge tube and a grip fitted with a powder intake tube.

Abstract: In a pump system for supplying powder, in particular coating powder, to a powder coating apparatus, time controller is used to introduce compressed gas into a metering chamber as a function of the predetermined delay time elapsed since a predetermined operational point for the purpose of expelling a quantity of powder that was introduced into the metering chamber until the end of the time delay.

Abstract: A powder spraycoating apparatus includes at least one compressed-air outlet (8) connected to a source (14) of compressed air from which it receives compressed air (15) at such a rate and such pressure that the compressed air at the compressed-air outlet (8) shall detach the powder's rim layer from the powder duct (4) and shall concentrate the powder flow toward the radial flow center and make it swirl, at a site near the downstream end (6) of the powder duct (4).

Abstract: A coating-powder spray gun includes a gun housing (2) of which the front end face is sealed pressure-hermetically with respect to compressed gas by a front end wall (28). A current-limiting resistor (32) and at least a portion of a high-voltage generator (10) are potted in an integral electrically insulating block. The potted block may be received in the gun housing (2).

Abstract: A high-voltage powder spray gun includes a rear terminal segment (60) of a powder tube (38) and the front terminal segment (58) of a hookup tube (56) which are inserted far enough in axial and sealing manner to subtend, between their overlap ends (69, 78), a powder-tight, electrically insulating expanse (76) to preclude electrical leakage currents. An electrically conducting bush (42) runs over the outer overlap end (78) of the hookup-tube/powder-tube connection to shunt any electric charges that might issue at the outer overlap end (78) between the hookup tube (56) and the powder tube (38). An electrically grounded shielding sheath (90), such as a helical compression spring, is configured radially away above the outer overlap end (88) between the rear terminal segment of the hookup tube (56) and the front end of powder hose (84) slipped over the rear terminal segment.

Abstract: A spraycoating apparatus with a tubular, hollow affixation element (16) to affix an adapter (8) to a casing (2), a coating-material tube (14) running through the hollow affixation element (16) into the casing (2).

Abstract: A powder facility used for spray coating includes at least one injection unit (6), at least two powder stations (2) and at least one cleaning unit (16) which are mutually displaceably in program-controlled manner in order to alternatively convey powder from one of the powder receptacles of the powder stations or to clean the powder-flow itineraries using compressed cleaning air.

Abstract: A method of ensuring safety in operation of a coating apparatus includes the steps of measuring an instant value of a spray current, and regulating the spray current so that the spray current does not exceed a predetermined spray current limiting value by adjusting the high voltage applied to an electrode of the apparatus based on the measured instant value of the spray current. The spray current is directly measured in a return path of electrical current from the object to a regulating circuit of the apparatus.

Abstract: A spraycoating device at least one hollow high-voltage electrode (10) fitted with a compressed-air path (22) issuing from said electrode's end used to electrostatically charge the coating material.
