  • Publication number: 20220397175
    Abstract: Torsion spring device includes an outer housing, an inner housing located in the outer housing, and an elastic element. The elastic element supports the inner housing relative to the outer housing such that a restoring force is built up between the outer housing and the inner housing as a result of a deflection caused when the outer housing and the inner housing are rotated relative to one another. The restoring force-deflection curve can be adjusted by a choice of shape and/or material of the outer housing, of the inner housing, and of the elastic element and/or wherein the hysteresis can be adjusted by a choice of shape and/or material of the outer housing, of the inner housing and of the elastic element.

  • Patent number: 6852164
    Abstract: A central powder supply system, referred to as a so-called powder center (1) is made available for use especially in high-performance industrial powder coating installations. The powder center (1) is divided into two separate chambers (2, 3), an operating chamber (2) and a powder chamber (3). Both chambers (2, 3) can be connected with a powder separating device via an opening which can be closed off. The powder chamber (3) essentially houses the powder preparation device (5), while the operating chamber (2) contain the operating parts (22) and supply parts (20, 21). The powder preparation device (5) comprises a height-adjustable lifting table (7) with vibration device for the powder supply container (6 positioned thereon. In addition, there is a suction plate (12) which serves as suction device and has through openings (13). The suction plate (12) is surrounded by a strain basket (17) which, optionally, has a support basket (18).

  • Patent number: 6616764
    Abstract: A method for cleaning an interior of a coating booth is proposed in which blast air is used as at least one of the means for cleaning. For primary cleaning of the coating booth, blast air and corresponding suction operations are used, whereby blowing and suction can be carried out simultaneously, cyclically or sequentially. The invention also relates to a coating booth. The floor and/or the ceiling of the coating booth are formed by a separate floor part and/or a ceiling part which are movable relative to the peripheral wall. The floor part and/or the ceiling part include a cleaning device which can optionally be integrated with the respective floor part and/or ceiling part. The floor part and/or the ceiling part hence operate as a cleaning device for the coating booth. The cleaning device can be displaced in the interior space of the coating booth in a longitudinal direction.
