Abstract: A method and a configuration are provided for transporting electrically conductive paint from a point at earth potential to at least one paint application device which is at a high voltage potential. A needed quantity of paint is filled into a cartridge at a point at earth potential. The filled cartridge is conveyed by a first conveying device to a second conveying device. The cartridges are then allocated to workpieces to be painted. The filled cartridge is transported by the second conveying device to the at least one paint application device. At the paint application device, the cartridge is connected to at least one spray head. The emptied cartridge is transported by the second conveying device to a third conveying device, and the third conveying device transports the cartridge back to the loading station, while a further cartridge is filled there and conveyed by the first conveying device.

Abstract: A method and a configuration are provided for transporting electrically conductive paint from a point at ground potential to at least one paint application device which is at a high voltage potential. A given quantity of a given paint is put into a cartridge at the point at ground potential, which is used as a loading station. The cartridge is then conveyed pneumatically through an at least partly electrically insulated pipe system to the at least one paint application device and is connected to a spray head provided there. The cartridge, which is completely or partly emptied after the painting operation, is conveyed pneumatically back to the point at ground potential, while at least one further cartridge is being filled there. Following the receipt of the completely or partly emptied cartridge, a further cartridge is then conveyed to the at least one paint application device.
