A transfer and coating apparatus transfers a component from a conveyor to a coating station for application of a coating. The transfer apparatus includes a mast that can move about orthogonal axes in a horizontal plane and a mast having a carriage that can move vertically. The carriage includes a hook that swings about a horizontal axis relative to the mast for movement of the component in the horizontal direction. A sway bar extends between the hook and component to inhibit movement about a horizontal axis. The component is delivered to an upper compartment of a coating apparatus where it can be lowered in to a lower compartment containing coating material. Excess coating material is removed by an array of nozzles in the upper compartment as the component is raised from the coating material.

In order to create a rotating unit for a coating lance device for thermally coating an interior, it is provided that the rotary drive is implemented as a hollow-shaft motor coaxial with the axis of rotation of the tool holder, and wherein the tool holder and the coating material feed, as well as the process media feed, are located centrally relative to the hollow-shaft motor. Furthermore, in order to create a coating lance device for thermally coating an interior, it is proposed to provide such a rotating unit; at least one linear actuator for axial and/or lateral positioning of the rotating unit relative to an interior to be coated; and stationary supply connections for supplying electricity to the coating lance, and for the coating material feed, and for the process media feed.

The present disclosure teaches systems and methods for coating and cooking goods. One system for coating of goods can comprise a source of powder for coating the goods, a source of gas to create a gas stream to carry the powder and the goods in a combined stream through a tunnel or chamber comprising air bearings to keep the goods and the powder from contacting the inner surface of the tunnel or chamber, and a system for recirculating unused powder for reuse. One method for coating goods can comprise combining additive powder with at least one gas stream in a powder circulation chamber and forming a powder gas stream, forming an air bearing on an inner surface of the powder distribution tunnel wherein the powder distribution tunnel comprises an inner tube and outer tube can be separated by a plenum, wherein the air bearing is formed by directing a gas stream through the at least one compressed air inlet causing the tunnel gas stream to form a circular vortex ring having a centrifugal force equal to a pressure gradient outward and releasing goods into the powder distribution tunnel to coat the goods.

A conveying device is provided for the conveying of coating powder and includes a powder reservoir container that includes, on the bottom, a powder outlet channel. The powder outlet channel is connected to a first powder conveyor for conveying powder out of the powder reservoir container back to a powder storage container. Moreover, a second powder conveyor is provided for conveying powder out of the powder reservoir container to a powder applicator.

An aspect of the present disclosure provides a system for aerosol jet printing an aerosolized particle source configured to selectively provide aerosolized particles, a nozzle configured to deposit aerosolized particles on a substrate, an actuator configured to generate acoustic energy for migrating the particles, and a generator configured to selectively energize the actuator. The nozzle includes a proximal inlet configured for passage of aerosolized particles, a column configured to focus the aerosolized particles when vibrated by an actuator, and a distal opening configured for deposition of the particles on a substrate.

A method and system for feeding a lubricating or releasing agent from a dosing station to one or more pressing tools arranged in a pressing chamber of a tablet press. The tablet press is configured with a feed pipe for feeding the lubricating or release agent from the dosing station to the one or more pressing tools of a pressing chamber of the tablet press and the feed pipe is configured with a shut-off valve disposed in-line with the feed pip for controlling the flow of the lubricating or release agent to the pressing chamber. The method comprises the steps of: producing a negative pressure with respect to the surroundings of the pressing chamber of the tablet press, measuring a pressure in one of the feed pipe and the pressing chamber, and issuing a signal indicative of the measured pressure and issuing an enable signal to open a valve in response to the pressure signal.
