A coating frame, a coating system, and methods of coating a component using one or more coating frames are disclosed. The coating frame includes a frame member and at least one bracket coupled to the frame member. The bracket includes at least one hanger attachment point extending into a hollow interior of the at least one bracket. The at least one bracket isolates the at least one hanger attachment point from a coating material when the coating frame is used in a coating process. The method includes suspending a component from the coating frame, conveying the coating frame and the component to a coating applicator, and applying a coating material to the coating frame and the component while isolating the at least one hanger attachment point from the coating material via an air pocket formed within the at least one bracket.

An apparatus for manufacturing tow prepreg includes: a spreading roller which adjusts an incident angle of supplied fiber; and two or more coating rollers including a first roller and a second roller which rotate while having a gap between the first roller and the second roller, in which the fiber supplied from the spreading roller passes through the gap between the first roller and the second roller to be coated with resin. The incident angle of the fiber supplied for immersing the resin is adjusted to adjust tension applied to the fiber supplied to a coating roller, such that the quantity of the resin of the tow prepreg can be controlled more precisely.

To repair reinforced concrete easily and at low cost. An anticorrosion method includes infiltrating an anticorrosion solution held inside concrete of reinforced concrete into a vicinity of a reinforcing bar through the concrete to passivate the reinforcing bar, detecting that the anticorrosion solution is infiltrated to a surface of the concrete, and discharging, after detecting the anticorrosion solution, the anticorrosion solution to outside of the concrete to form an anticorrosive coating on a surface of the reinforcing bar.

This coating device 1 comprises a dispersing/mixing part 2, a conveying part 3, and a collecting part 4. A raw material powder and a coating solution are supplied to the dispersing/mixing part 4 as a slurry. In the dispersing/mixing part 2, the slurry (mixture) in which the raw powder and the coating solution have been mixed is dispersed by means of an air flow of a high-pressure fluid into a powder, a film of the coating solution having adhered to the surface of the powder. The powder is introduced from the dispersing/mixing part 2 to the conveying part 3t and is conveyed with the conveying part 3 oriented toward the collecting part 4. While the powder is being conveyed, the coating solution that has adhered to the particle surfaces dries, whereby a powder in which the particle surfaces ares coated with a precursor is produced. A powder flow introduced into the collecting part 4 passes through a bag filter 54. This causes the powder to be captured by the bag filter 54.
