  • Patent number: 6630060
    Abstract: A method of carrying out an electro-chemical treatment, especially for electro-chemically coating conducting parts or parts made to be conducting, in a container which is filled with an electrolyte and in which there are arranged two electrodes which are connected to a constant voltage source, has the parts, while being treated in the electrolyte, being continuously re-arranged in the rotating basket. The parts are cathodically switched by a hub of the basket. The electrolytic solution is pumped in a cycle through the container, with the container remaining sealed so as to be gas-tight.

  • Patent number: 6484737
    Abstract: A machine for carrying out a process of treating small parts with a liquid treatment medium, especially for coating the small parts or for chemically deburring the small parts, has a closable container which includes a drum to receive the parts. The drum is rotatingly drivable and adjustable between an inclined axis position and a vertical axis position. The process includes filling the drum with small parts and evacuating the closed container. Filling the container with a treatment medium, with the internal pressure set to a value in excess of the steam pressure of the most liquid component of the treatment medium. Inclining the drum to its inclined axis position and rotatingly driving the drum at a low speed. Ventilating the container and setting the drum to its vertical position.
