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.

A transportable module which when deployed forms at least part of a vehicle enclosure, the transportable module includes a first housing which houses at least part of an air handling unit, the housing including a rigid side wall or a rigid roof portion which is extendible to form at least part of an additional housing adjacent to the air handling unit; the additional housing being suitable for housing and fully enclosing a vehicle; whereby spraying and baking operations may be carried out within the additional housing whilst the vehicle is shielded from the surrounding environmental conditions; the air handling unit being configured to heat and/or cool air in order to provide heated or cooled air to the vicinity of the vehicle; and an extraction duct for removing air from the additional housing and for filtering the removed air prior to disposing of it into the surrounding environment.

A station for treating motor-vehicle bodies and/or components may include: a booth including at least one entrance for a motor-vehicle body and/or component and at least one exit for the motor-vehicle body and/or component; a system configured to move the motor-vehicle body and/or component between the at least one entrance and the at least one exit; at least one robot configured to treat the motor-vehicle body and/or component in the booth by spraying fluid toward the motor-vehicle body and/or component; and a platform inside the booth configured to support the motor-vehicle body and/or component. The system may be configured to rotate with the platform so as to align with the at least one entrance in order to receive the motor-vehicle body and/or component, and so as to align with the at least one exit in order to release the motor-vehicle body and/or component. The booth may have an octagonal shape.

A transportable vehicle enclosure for painting vehicles includes side, front, rear, ceiling and floor portions, one of the portions being configured to allow vehicular access. In use, a vehicle may be placed within the enclosure. The enclosure further includes an air handling unit for respectively producing a first temperature level within the enclosure suitable for a spray mode of operation and a second temperature level within the enclosure suitable for a baking mode of operation.

An application device for the application in series of a paint or other coating compositions to motor vehicle bodies or add-on parts thereof has a nozzle print head which contains a plurality of nozzles arranged, for example, in one or more rows, which apply the coating composition to the surface to be coated as continuous jets or individual drops. The nozzle print head is arranged on a multi-axis coating robot. In contrast to application devices of this type known hitherto, the coating composition consists of at least two components which are to be mixed together, such as, for example, 2K paint, which are fed to the nozzle print head via separate supply lines for jointly supplying the nozzles.

An apparatus for painting articles comprises a painting booth delimited by side walls and having at least one inlet opening and an outlet opening reciprocally aligned on two of said respectively opposite side walls. A transport assembly moves a plurality of articles being processed respectively aligned along a movement path extending through the painting booth, to lead the articles being processed therein through the inlet opening and to extract said articles through the outlet opening. The delivery nozzles operatively arranged inside the painting booth deliver atomised paint against the articles transported along the movement path. Adjustment devices comprising adjustment knobs positioned externally of the painting booth and manually accessible by an operator operate on each delivery nozzle to modify its positioning with respect to the articles being processed.
