A modular apparatus for coating glass articles with a chemical compound includes a coating hood section (10a) including a series of interconnected walls (12) defining an interior chamber (18, 20a, 20b) having an inlet (32) and an outlet (44), a blower (24) positioned at least partially in the interior chamber (18, 20a, 20b) to carry air from the inlet (32) towards the outlet (44); and a connector (50) for connecting the coating hood section (10a) to an identical coating hood section (10b). The connector (50) for connecting being defined on at least one of the interconnected walls (12) of the coating hood section (10a).

A painting system includes painting unit including a first painting robot and a second painting robot, a cartridge carrier, and a cleaning tank. The painting robots each include a robot arm including a painting machine. The cartridge carrier includes a cartridge grip part. A first region is a region where a movable region of the painting machine of the first painting robot overlaps with a movable region of the cartridge grip part. A second region is a region where the movable region of the painting machine of the second painting robot overlaps with the movable region of the cartridge grip part. The cleaning tank is provided in a position including at least a part of the first region and at least a part of the second region.

The invention includes an upper sealing member fixed near a ceiling wall of a processing chamber and a lower sealing member provided movably in a vertical direction below the upper sealing member. A sealed space is formed by moving down the lower sealing member to a lower limit position where an upper end part of the lower sealing member is aligned or partially overlapped with a lower end part of the upper sealing member in the vertical direction. On the other hand, a conveyance space for carrying the substrate to and from a substrate holder is formed by moving up the lower sealing member to a retracted position above the lower limit position.

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.

A handheld or mountable air measuring device includes a sensor assembly with sensors that measure airspeed simultaneously in two directions that are perpendicular to each other. The device includes a data protocol conversion board allowing the communication between the sensor assembly and a smart device included with or associated with the device. The smart device receives the airspeed data. The smart device includes a user interface that includes a map or layout of the environment within which the device is used. The data is displayed on the smart device on the map. The data can be processed locally or transmitted to a remote location for processing. One or more dashboards are generated from the data and accessible by the smart device or another computing device.

A method and system for powder coating non electrically conductive elements, preferably brake pads. A pre-treatment station is upstream of an electrostatic powder coating deposition station and a baking station for melting and polymerizing the powder coating in order to form a coating layer on a surface to be coated. The pre-treatment station causes the elements to be coated to conduct electrically by uniformly wetting said elements by means of creating poorly mineralized water covalent bonds on at least one surface to be coated, in an amount aimed at producing a measurable weight increase in the non electrically conductive elements, which then causes them to conduct electrically. The water adsorbed and/or deposited is subsequently eliminated within the baking station.

The disclosure encompasses systems and methods for performing high temperature and high humidity curing of tablets using air flow delivered from a recirculating air handler to a pan coater of a tablet coating device. The recirculating air handler may be integrated into a preexisting tablet coating device so that the air flow may be delivered by the preexisting air handler or by the recirculating air handler as desired.
