A process for manufacturing continuous ceramic tape includes steps of heating a ceramic feedstock to a molten state and spraying molten droplets of the feedstock onto a deposition surface. The method further includes forming a ceramic coating on the deposition surface by accumulating the droplets, which solidify and are directly bonded to one another. The deposition surface is non-stick with respect to the ceramic coating such that the coating may be peeled off of the deposition surface as a continuous ceramic tape, without fracture. Additionally, in embodiments, the deposition surface is removed by running the deposition over a bending edge, chemically stripping or dissolving the deposition surface, or burning the deposition surface.

The present invention relates to a coating apparatus also called coating tunnel or coating hood for applying a protective coating to hollow glass containers. In particular it relates to a coating apparatus also called coating tunnel or coating hood with air curtains for reducing the loss of the carrier gas comprising a coating compound for applying the protective coatings to glass containers. More particularly the present invention relates to a coating apparatus also called coating tunnel or coating hood with specific air curtains at the entry and the exit of the coating apparatus for reducing the loss of the carrier gas comprising a coating compound for applying the protective coatings to glass containers.

A spray applicator (1) for spraying a fluid onto a web (W) of material has a first group of spray nozzles (10A) arranged along a first axis (FA) and a second group of spray nozzles (11A) arranged along a second axis (SA). The first (FA) and second (SA) spray nozzle axes are arranged on the same side of a plane in which the web (W) is run. Each spray nozzle (10A, 11A) has an elongated spray opening configured to spray fluid in a direction towards the web (W). The first spray nozzle opening of the first group of spray ozzles (10A) has an inclination angle which differs from the second nozzle opening inclination angle of the second group of spray nozzles (11A).

A deposition apparatus includes: discharge nozzles arranged at predetermined intervals in a processing compartment in a deposition chamber, wherein each of the discharge nozzles comprises a discharge port that discharges aerosolized particulates toward a corresponding surface treatment object; linear motor single-axis robots arranged at predetermined intervals in a direction perpendicular to a nozzle arrangement direction; and nozzle head units that each adjust a mutual distance between the discharge port and a surface of the corresponding surface treatment object based on a shape of the corresponding surface treatment object, the nozzle head units moving along the nozzle arrangement direction, and the nozzle head units being arranged in each of the linear motor single-axis robots.

A method for manufacturing a golf ball having a non-uniform dot pattern is provided. Firstly, a semi-finished product of a golf ball is provided, which includes a ball body and a base layer covering an outer surface of the ball body. After that, the semi-finished product of the golf ball is rotated at a predetermined rotation speed, and a color paint is applied to the semi-finished product of the golf ball in a spraying manner from each of an upper position and a lower position.

The first robot has a first base via which the first robot is mounted to a structure forming a coating area. The second robot has a second base via which the second robot is mounted. The second base is mounted below the first base in a vertical direction.

The present disclosure provides for an automated spray system (100) to produce an elastomeric pad on a railroad tie. The automated spray system (100) includes a two-component spray system (102) for spraying a two-component reaction mixture to produce the elastomeric pad on the railroad tie. The automated spray system further includes a gantry system (140) having girder (146) that supports the spray applicator.

A granular coating conveyor system for coating granular particles carried in compartments along a tubular conveyor member. Coating fluid is fed over the granular particles through radial nozzles located inside a co-axial rotating blender with tubular member upstream discharge port and tubular member downstream return ingress port for the granular particles. The blender is a drum having a helicoidal spiral screw integrally mounted to an interior peripheral wall face of the drum and extending therealong radially outwardly of the tubular member mixing in the drum in tumbling fashion the granular particles with coating fluid and guiding same therealong, so as to dynamically form a kidney shape mass of granular particles.
