In order to provide a method for fault analysis in an industrial-method plant, for example a painting plant, by means of which fault situations are analysable simply and reliably, it is proposed according to the invention that the method should comprise the following: in particular automatic recognition of a fault situation in the industrial-method plant (101); storage of a fault situation data set for the respective recognised fault situation, in a fault database (136); automatic determination of a cause of the fault for the fault situation and/or automatic determination of process values that are relevant to the fault situation, on the basis of the fault data set of a respective recognised fault situation.

In order to provide a treatment installation for treating workpieces that is of simple construction and enables optimised workpiece treatment, it is proposed that the treatment installation should include a treatment chamber and a conveying device, by means of which the workpieces are suppliable to the treatment chamber, are removable from the treatment chamber, and/or are conveyable through the treatment chamber in a conveying direction.

The present invention, a carwash dryer apparatus and method, is detailed. The apparatus uses a plurality of drying scoop assemblies to remove water from a wet vehicle through contact. The drying scoops are made from 10-lb foam or felt. The apparatus is then dried by spinning until it has released the absorbed water. The scoop shape facilitates both quick drying of vehicles and the rapid elimination of moisture from the scoops, themselves. The method allows for the sensing of the water retained in the plurality of drying scoop assemblies and adjusts the voltage in order to eliminate the water.

A paint drying device where leakage of air between a drying chamber and a driving section accommodating chamber is prevented reliably. In the paint drying device in which the drying chamber and the driving section accommodating chamber communicate with each other via a through hole through which a power transmission tool extends, there are provided an air feeding passage for feeding air present outside the drying chamber to the driving section accommodating chamber by an air feeding fan and an exhaust passage for discharging air in the driving section accommodating chamber to the outside of the drying chamber by an exhaust fan. An air amount adjustment device is provided for adjusting a ratio between an amount of air to be fed to the driving section accommodating chamber via the air feeding passage and an amount of air to be discharged from the driving section accommodating chamber via the exhaust passage.

A volatile organic compound (VOC) removal system for removing VOC generated during a painting process of a vehicle body includes a paint spraying booth where paint is applied to the vehicle body, a paint baking oven for fixing the paint on the vehicle body applied with the paint in the paint spraying booth, an integration chamber for receiving a booth discharge gas from the paint spraying booth through a booth gas inflow line, to receive an oven discharge gas from the paint baking oven through an oven gas inflow line, and to form a mixture gas by mixing the received booth discharge gas and the received oven discharge gas, a VOC concentrator for forming a process gas by concentrating the mixture gas supplied from the integration chamber to increase a VOC concentration, and a VOC removing apparatus for removing VOC from the process gas supplied from the VOC concentrator.

The invention relates to a treatment tunnel, to a production system, and to a treatment module (100) for a treatment tunnel (200) which has treatment modules (100) following one another in the longitudinal direction (L), the treatment module comprising an inner housing (102), which has at least one surface element (104, 105, 106, 107, 108) composed of prefabricated cassettes (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17). The surface element (104, 105, 106, 107, 108) is divided, in the longitudinal direction, into a pitch corresponding to at least one cassette width (90, 92). The cassettes (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17) are arranged within the surface element (104, 105, 106, 107, 108) with their longitudinal sides (68) perpendicular to and with their transverse sides (66) parallel to the longitudinal extent (140), at least in some regions, and/or the cassettes (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17) are arranged within the surface element (104, 105, 106, 107, 108) with their transverse sides (66) perpendicular to and with their longitudinal sides (68) parallel to the longitudinal extent (140) of the surface element (104, 105, 106, 107, 108), at least in some regions.
