Abstract: A base for a powder coating booth, including a base structure, through which the booth is intended to rest on a floor, the base structure being configured to support a powder coating compartment of the booth. The base also includes a floor, which is supported by the base structure and which is configured to delimit the bottom of the powder coating compartment. To reduce the accumulation of residual powder, the floor includes at least one oblique panel, which is inclined with respect to the horizontal and which is configured to delimit the bottom of the powder coating compartment of the booth, whereas the at least one oblique panel is porous so as to be permeable to the air and impermeable to the residual powder resulting from powder coating an article within the powder coating compartment.

Abstract: A device for supplying at least one sprayer with a liquid coating product comprises a plurality of valves for controlling the flow of the coating product to the sprayer, these valves being aligned along a principal axis of the supply device. Each valve comprises a moving needle, a valve body, pneumatic driver for moving the needle in translation, the driver comprising a piston constrained to move in translation with the needle and slidably mounted in a guide body. The principal axis and the separation/approach axis of a valve coincide at a unique point and together define a principal plane of the valve. The separation/approach axis of each valve is contained within a cone centered on an axis perpendicular to the principal axis and belonging to the principal plane of the valve, the apex of the cone being coincident with the unique point.

Abstract: A device for supplying a sprayer with a liquid coating comprises a one valve having a moving needle, a valve body defining a circulation volume for the coating and a seat for supporting the needle. A pneumatic drive for translating the needle along an axis away from or towards the seat comprises a piston constrained to move with the needle and sliding within a guide body. A head and the guide body define a variable volume chamber. The head is constrained to rotate with the volume via slots on the head and corresponding protruding elements on the guide body. The guide body is screwed onto the valve body along the axis. The head includes driving reliefs for rotation of the head around the axis for screwing onto the valve body. A tool for mounting/dismounting the device comprises a maneuvering handle and an end-piece having reliefs complementary to the driving reliefs.

Abstract: A device for supplying at least one sprayer with a liquid coating product comprises at least one valve for controlling the flow of the coating product to the sprayer. The valve comprises a moveable needle, a valve body which defines a circulation volume of the coating product and a seat for supporting the needle in the closed configuration of the valve. A pneumatic driver drives the pointer in translation along an axis away from or towards the seat. The pneumatic driver comprises a piston constrained to move in translation with the needle and mounted slidably in a guide body. The pneumatic driver also comprises an end-piece penetrating into a transfer chamber. The communication line links the end-piece or the transfer chamber with a variable-volume chamber defined by the guide body and a first face of the piston.

Abstract: This station (10) comprises at least two areas (11, 12) for cleaning/filling a reservoir, each adapted to receive a sub-assembly (7) formed by a reservoir (8) and a sprayer (9) while this sub-assembly (7) is disconnected from the robot. A device or devices (51, 52) for cleaning and/or filling the reservoir and/or the sprayer in each of these areas are provided, while these areas (11, 12) are adapted to be brought (F2, F3) into a position of connection of a sub-assembly (7), disposed in one (11) of them with the cleaning and/or filling device or devices (51, 52). The process consists, inter alia, in positioning (F6) a coating product supply unit (52), in a position of connection with the first sub-assembly (7) received in an area (11) of the station (10) of cleaning/filling.
