Abstract:
An electrostatic powder coating installation incorporating a cabin serving to house the articles to be coated, the internal space of the cabin being connected with a suction device. Further, there is provided a filter which bounds with one face or side thereof a part of the internal space of the cabin and with its other side or face confronts the inlet of the suction device. A cleaning device is operatively associated with the filter and movable relative thereto, this cleaning device removing from the filter the excess powder deposited upon the filter and delivering such to a collecting container.
Abstract:
Copolymers of 23 to 92% by weight of methyl methacrylate, 5-62% by weight of an acrylic acid ester containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms in the ester portion or a methacrylic acid ester containing from 2 to 12 carbon atoms in the ester portion and 3 to 15% by weight of unsaturated copolymerizable carboxylic acids are homogeneously mixed with triglycidyl isocyanurate, cellulose acetobutyrates and optionally with pigments and levelling agents. The mixture may be applied by electrostatic powder-spraying or other powder coating processes to suitable surfaces and cured at temperatures of about 130* to 220*C. The backed films of the mixture show outstanding adherence to the substrate and hardness coupled with elasticity, high gloss and weather resistance.
Abstract:
An apparatus for coating articles or the like by means of electrostatically charged particles comprising at least two electrodes associated with an atomizer nozzle for these particles and a regulatable or controllable high-voltage generator for delivering a respective potential of different magnitude but the same sign to both electrodes. A stabilizing stage is provided between the high-voltage generator and the electrodes, this stage maintaining constant the potential difference between the electrodes at a predetermined value over the entire regulation range of the operating voltage of the high-voltage generator with regard to the articles.
Abstract:
A portion of a xerographic development material is slowly circulated past a vertically oriented porous wall where it serves as a filter for airborne toner particles flowing therethrough. Toner enriched development material is returned to the main body of development material for reuse. Toner particles cleaned from residual xerographic images are conveniently transported by airflow entrainment to the development material filter.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method and apparatus for coating a metallic strip comprising wetting a first surface of the strip, passing the wetted first surface adjacent to and at a predetermined constant spacing, throughout its width, from a first electrostatic device, and supplying a metallic powder to the latter so that the wetted first surface is provided electrostatically with a coating of the metallic powder, wetting a second surface of the strip which is opposite to the said first surface thereof, passing the wetted second surface adjacent to and at a predetermined constant spacing, throughout its width, from a second electrostatic device, and supplying a metallic powder to the latter so that the wetted second surface is provided electrostatically with a coating of the metallic powder, maintaining the last-mentioned predetermined constant spacing by passing the wetted coating on the first surface of the strip over at least one smooth surfaced cylindrical support roll disposed adjacent to the second electrostatic device, and drying the wetted coatings on the first and second surfaces and effecting firm adherence of the dry coatings to said surfaces.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process of forming a continuous coating on an article by spraying a pulverulent mixture of a polymer containing hydroxy groups having a softening point of at least 40*C and of a masked polyisocyanate through an electric field on an article to adhere the said mixture to said article and baking said mixture to fuse it into a continuous coating the improvement which comprises using as a masked polyisocyanate a Epsilon -caprolactam masked polyisocyanate.
Abstract:
Electrostatic deposition is utilized to coat surfaces of materials with polystyrene particles. The surfaces are coated with an electrically-conductive adhesive. Then, an electrostatic field is set up between the adhesive surface and an electrode on an applicator which may or may not be connected to a continuous feed machine for polystyrene particles. Polystyrene particles are given an electrical charge when in contact with the electrode and are propelled by the electrostatic field to the adhesive surface.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to electrostatic charges and particularly to a device that can either charge or discharge the electrostatic potential of a body with respect to its environment. More particularly, this invention relates to the use of a conductive liquid expelled from a nozzle positioned in a strong electrostatic field, wherein the liquid is converted to fine, charged droplets to form an ionic current away from the nozzle. The nozzle and any associated equipment is charged or discharged accordingly. If the polarity of the electrostatic field in which the droplets are formed is reversed, the opposite polarity of charge or discharge will occur.
Abstract:
Improved methods and apparatus for charging atomized coating materials and maintaining an electrostatic depositing field in the electrostatic deposition of coating materials. Improved charging is effected by the selectively directed passage of corona discharge current from a primary source thereof through emitted coating material intermediate its point of emission and its locus of atomization to an electrically floating electrode element whose collection potential is maintained by a corona discharge emanating from an exposed end thereof.
Abstract:
A method of spraying powder from nozzles onto the outer periphery of the pipe while the pipe is rotated about its longitudinal axis. The spray nozzle or nozzles are spaced from the outer periphery of the pipe and at the optimum angle with respect to the transverse or cross-sectional configuration of the pipe for providing the most efficient and complete coating or covering of the object.
