A portable spray booth for coating an item such as a wheel with a sprayable material. An actuator is configured in use to support a spray gun which is in fluid communication with a first supply of the sprayable material. At least one laser is operative to illuminate a wheel with laser radiation. A detector detects reflected laser radiation from the wheel to derive a signal indicative of the profile of the wheel. A processor processes the signal to obtain a control signal which is output to the actuator and the spray gun to cause the first supply of sprayable material to be dispensed from the spray gun onto the wheel in a user defined manner and a detector senses an amount of sprayable material in each reusable paint pot or canister and generates a warning signal to reorder a paint pot or canister before all the sprayable is used.

A mobile automotive spray booth having a collapsible enclosure and a fire suppression system. The fire suppression system includes a control unit, a fire detection cable or cable assembly in communication with the control unit, and a fire extinguisher assembly in communication with the control unit. The fire detection cable or cable assembly extends across at least a portion of the collapsible enclosure, and is configured to detect a fire within the collapsible enclosure. The control unit is configured to activate the fire extinguisher assembly to extinguish the fire upon detection of the fire by the fire detection cable or cable assembly. The fire detection cable or cable assembly is configured to bend to allow the collapsible enclosure to collapse from an expanded configuration to a collapsed configuration without removal or disassembly of the fire detection cable or cable assembly.

A varnishing plant comprising: a platform on which a plurality of work stations are defined, each of which is adapted to receive a vehicle, a spray booth movable on the platform and positionable on each of said work stations, and an air supply and extraction system associated with the spray booth, wherein said air supply and extraction system comprises a fresh air intake duct and a polluted air exhaust duct, stationary and communicating with an external environment, wherein the polluted air exhaust duct communicates with air suction volumes located below said platform, wherein said fresh air intake duct has a plurality of openings located at respective work stations, and wherein the spray booth comprises a fresh air suction mouth selectively connectable to the opening located at the work station on which the spray booth is located.

A painting plant was achieved with a painting booth (28) defining inside a work environment substantially closed under operative conditions, an air admitting and extracting system (42), a control unit (40) provided with a data entering system (40a) and a data storing memory; at least one sensor (105) of a parameter linked to humidity in the painting booth, for sending to the control unit a signal indicative of a humidity inside the painting booth; a fresh air intake conduit (44) comprises a heating section (101) having means (102) for heating the air to be delivered to the painting booth (28), and a humidifying section (103) having means (104) for humidifying the air to be delivered to the painting booth (28); the control unit (40) is configured for receiving a set value of the humidity inside the painting booth, receiving the signal indicative of a humidity inside the painting booth from the sensor (105) and adjusting the humidifying means (104) as a function of said set value or set range of values and of said humidity indicative signal inside the booth.

A spray booth (100) for providing a controlled environment for spraying of particulate material is disclosed. The spray booth (100) is mounted on a support rail, and is movable along the support rail.

Provided in this disclosure is a portable facility for surface coating and surface preparation. The portable facility assists with surface preparation and coating production in shipyards and other environments such as rural areas or other remote locations that otherwise do not have traditional industrial support. Operative connectivity to a blast pot control via smart devices creates faster production cycles and reduced operational costs. The portable facility and air plenums also enhance environmental sustainability and improve worker safety through various means of ventilation and reducing energy consumption. Nozzles reduce blasting time, lower process noise, and reduce user fatigue.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for delivering droplets of fluids onto an open tray (15) containing poultry. According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a stationary working surface, a single arm (16) supporting a plurality of fluid dispensing nozzles, a drive unit for driving the translation of said arm (16), said plurality of dispensing nozzles being connected to at least one fluid supply circuit comprising a fluid reservoir and a pumping unit, a control unit configured to control the drive unit of the arm and to define at least one duration T of travel of the arm (16) above said working surface. The travel time T includes a period of gradual acceleration of said arm (16) outside an area of said working surface occupied by said tray and bringing said arm to a first end of said tray (15) along the first direction at a travel velocity V, a period of constant velocity V when the arm (16) moves above said tray (15), and a period of gradual deceleration of said arm (16) when the latter has passed a second end of the tray (15) along the first direction. The control unit is also configured to control each pumping unit and activate each pumping unit only when said arm is above said tray.

The present invention relates to an inflatable drive paint through booth having positive pressure environment. The inflatable booth is portable and may be easily set up and taken down. The positive pressure allows for the quick and efficient removal of paint fumes and ensures that dirt and debris are not brought into the booth through the air when the personnel enter and leave the booth.
