Abstract: The paint apparatus includes a paint booth having an upper chamber in which a painting operation is performed and a lower chamber placed below the upper chamber; a receiving portion 2 that receives air discharged from the paint booth; a filter module 3 attachable to and detachable from the receiving portion 2 and including filter portions 31 and 32 that trap paint mist from air that passed through the receiving portion 2, a filter inlet portion 33 that receives an inflow of air from the receiving portion 2, and a filter outlet portion 34 that discharges air from which the paint mist was trapped by the filter portions 31 and 32; and rails 6 that guide the filter module 3 to an attached position at which the filter module 3 is attached to the receiving portion 2.

Abstract: A painting facility 1 includes a painting chamber 3 in which a spray painting operation is effected on a painting object W, an air supplying chamber 2 configured to supply air into the painting chamber 3 via an air supplying section 4a, 4b provided in a ceiling portion 30 of the painting chamber 3, and an air discharging chamber 5 configured to suction air and uncoated paint mist present in the painting chamber 3 via a floor discharging section of the painting chamber 3, two air supplying sections 4a, 4b are disposed in left-right symmetry relative to a position of the painting object W in a width direction of the painting chamber 3 as the center therebetween. Air is released in a radial form from an outlet portion 40 of each one of the two air supplying sections 4a, 4b.

Abstract: The facility includes a first connection mechanism connecting a filter unit to a floor discharging section to establish communication between an opening portion of the floor discharging section and an upper face opening portion of the filter unit and a second connection mechanism connecting the filter unit to an exhausting chamber to establish communication between an opening portion of the exhausting chamber and a side face opening portion of the filter unit. The first connection mechanism includes a seal portion that comes into contact with an entire circumference of an outer face of an upper end portion of the filter unit, thus preventing leakage of exhaust gas. The seal portion includes an introducing portion for introducing the upper end portion of the filter unit to the seal portion from a horizontal direction.

Abstract: By setting a robot installing area at a higher pressure than an adjacent painting area, there is formed an air flow which flows from the robot installing area into the painting area. With this, in a painting facility in which a painting object is painted by paint spraying from a sprayer while displacing the painting object held to an arm leading end portion of a painting robot relative to the sprayer by an action of the painting robot, adhesion of paint to the painting robot and to a painting area lateral wall is prevented.

Abstract: A thermal storage type gas treating apparatus has a high sealing performance while achieving a simple apparatus construction. The thermal storage type gas treating apparatus includes a valve member rotatable to place successively a supply port for a gas to be treated and an exhaust port for a treated gas formed in the valve member, in an opposed and communicating relationship with supply and exhaust ports formed in a distributor, thereby successively passing gas to be treated and treated gas through a plurality of thermal storage chambers communicating at one end with a combustion chamber. The valve member is supported to be displaceable toward and away from the distributor. A valve biasing device is provided for pressing the valve body to the distributor, while being inoperative with respect to a gas chamber device.
