Patent number: 11009424Abstract: A diagnostic apparatus for a powder coating material pump. The diagnostic apparatus includes a detector that uses pressure or flow to detect a fault in the pump, the diagnostic apparatus being external the pump, internal the pump or a combination of external and internal the pump. Another diagnostic device is provided for a powder coating material pump, and includes a light source in close proximity to the pump, the light source having an on condition and an off condition wherein one or both of the on condition and off condition provides information about the pump performance. An exemplary pump is a dense phase powder coating material pump.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Nordson CorporationInventors: Edwin Jeroen Beuk, Terrence M. Fulkerson, Jeffrey A. Perkins

Publication number: 20140169990Abstract: A dense phase pump for particulate material includes a pump chamber wherein material flows into the pump chamber under negative pressure and flows out of the pump chamber under positive pressure. A plurality of pinch valves are provided to control flow of material into and out of the pump chamber. The pinch valves are operated independent of each other and of the pump cycle rate. A modular design of the pump is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2014Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: Nordson CorporationInventors: Terrence M. Fulkerson, Edwin Jeroen Beuk, Ulf Kleineidam, Andreas Kleineidam

Publication number: 20120038346Abstract: Apparatus and methods for detecting flow of powder coating material in an electrically nonconductive powder hose include providing an electrically conductive material that extends along at least a portion of the length of the hose to collect tribo-charge transfer that is produced by frictional contact between the powder coating material and an interior surface of the hose. The collected tribo-charge transfer is used to produce an electrical current in the electrically conductive material. A circuit detects the current in the electrically conductive material and produces an output that indicates whether powder coating material is flowing through the hose.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2010Publication date: February 16, 2012Applicant: NORDSON CORPORATIONInventors: Edwin Jeroen Beuk, Andre Petrus Maria deVeer
