The invention relates to a spray unit comprising an axle (10), a disc (20), a liquid applicator (40) and a spray direction assembly (50). The disc is configured to spin about the axle centred on the centre of the disc. The liquid applicator is configured to apply liquid to a surface of the disc. The spray direction assembly partially surrounds the disc. The inner surface of the spray direction assembly is configured to modify the trajectory of all liquid that leaves the outer edge of the disc.

An application device according to an embodiment includes a liquid nozzle part, an air nozzle part, and an ejection controlling unit. The liquid nozzle part ejects liquid to be applied to an electronic component mounted on a substrate. The air nozzle part ejects air toward the substrate. The air nozzle is concentrically arranged with respect to the liquid nozzle part. The ejection controlling unit ejects the air from the air nozzle part at a timing in synchronization with an ejection timing of the liquid to be applied by the liquid nozzle part.

A chemical agent-spraying device is provided with a chemical agent tank and chemical agent-jetting parts that jet out a chemical agent supplied from the chemical agent tank. The chemical agent-jetting parts include a first chemical agent-jetting part that jets out the chemical agent onto the reverse surfaces of crop leaves as an area to which the chemical agent is to be jetted, and a second chemical agent-jetting part that jets out the chemical agent onto the obverse surfaces of crop leaves as an area to which the chemical agent is to be jetted.

A sensor-cleaning apparatus includes an upper piece, a lower piece fixed to the upper piece, a plurality of inserts inserted into the upper piece, and a plurality of nozzles. The upper piece and the lower piece form a tubular segment that is elongated along an arc of a circle and encloses a chamber. Each nozzle is formed of the upper piece and one of the inserts. Each nozzle includes a deflection surface and a tunnel from the chamber to the deflection surface, and each tunnel is partially formed of the upper piece and partially formed of the respective insert.

Methods are provided for producing an intermittent liquid jet are provided that involve delivering a liquid through a gas dynamic nozzle, which includes an inner tube carrying the liquid, an outer tube carrying a focussing sheath gas, an exit channel and an exit aperture, injecting a stream of the liquid into the exit channel, wherein the liquid is enclosed by the focussing sheath gas in the exit channel, controlling emission of the liquid from the inner tube into the exit channel to produce a periodic, linear intermittent liquid jet including spurts of linear continuous jet sections separated by liquid-free gaps, and output of the intermittent liquid jet through the exit aperture. Furthermore, methods of scattering measurements on samples in a liquid using the method of producing an intermittent liquid jet and an injector device for producing an intermittent liquid jet are described.

A coating cabin for coating vehicle wheel rims has a coating chamber and a conveying device for transporting the workpieces for coating through the coating chamber. An applicator system is furthermore provided for spraying coating material as required in the coating chamber, wherein the applicator system has a first pistol system for spraying coating material as required onto a first region of the workpieces for coating, a second pistol system for spraying coating material as required onto a second region of the workpieces for coating, and a third pistol system for spraying coating material as required onto a third region of the workpieces for coating.

A mask and air pressure control system for use in coating deposition is disclosed. A method is provided for controlling liquid coating droplets during deposition onto a substrate by directing atomized liquid coating droplets in a flow path toward the substrate, and applying a vacuum or pressurized air from an air pressure control system to at least a portion of the atomized liquid coating droplets in the flow path. The air pressure control mask comprises an air pressure control fixture structured and arranged for connection to a source of vacuum or pressurized air, and a nozzle opening structured and arranged to at least partially surround a flow path of the liquid coating droplets and to selectively allow at least a portion of the liquid coating droplets to pass through the air pressure control mask, wherein the vacuum or pressurized air prevents at least a portion of oversprayed liquid coating droplets from being deposited on the substrate outside an intended edge of the coating.

A spray coating apparatus that applies a coating material onto outer surfaces of glass objects includes a coating material source that includes a coating material. A spray nozzle assembly includes a spray nozzle fluidly connected to the coating material source. The spray nozzle is arranged and configured to direct the coating material in a first direction toward the glass object and provide an overspray amount of the coating material by the glass object such that the overspray amount bypasses a non-line of sight area of the glass object. A turn nozzle assembly includes a turn nozzle fluidly connected to a pressurized gas source. The turn nozzle is arranged and configured to direct pressurized gas in a second direction different than the first direction toward the non-line of sight area of the glass package to redirect the coating material onto the non-line of sight area.

A fluid spray device for processing a substrate according to the present invention includes a spray nozzle configured to spray a processing fluid toward a substrate supported on a table, and a scattering prevention cover configured to block contaminants from being scattered by the sprayed processing fluid hitting the substrate.
