  • Patent number: 5854190
    Abstract: An apparatus, method and purge concentrate are capable of purging water-based and non-water-based paints and other coatings from automated and manual equipment using non-VOC containing aqueous purge solutions. Purge solutions of the invention contain water, detergent builder and wetting agents. The solution is maintained at a selected concentration and at a selected elevated temperature range by continuously recirculating the solution through the automated coating equipment. For manual equipment the solution is set at the correct concentration and maintained at the correct temperature range. For an automated system, spent purge solution can be reconditioned and recirculated to avoid waste.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 15, 1997
    Date of Patent: December 29, 1998
    Assignee: DALCO Industries, Ltd.
