A method and system for treating objects, the objects are conveyed through a treatment cabin and treated in a treatment space. During treatment solvents are released. Cabin air flows through the treatment space, which absorbs solvents and is discharged as process air from the treatment space. At least one proportion of the process air charged with solvent is recycled in the treatment space and at least one proportion of the process air can be discharged as exhaust air. Fresh air is fed to the treatment space, which contributes to the cabin air, such that the cabin air includes a circulating air proportion and a fresh air proportion. The solvent concentration is captured in the cabin air and/or in the process air and/or in the exhaust air and the circulating air proportion and the fresh air proportion of the cabin air are regulated as a function of the captured solvent concentration.

A coating booth includes a water flow board laterally opposing a coat-processing region and structuring part of an inner side surface of the coating booth, a water supply unit supplying water to the upper edge of the front surface of the water flow board oriented toward the coat-processing region, to allow the water to flow down along the front surface of the water flow board, a water collection unit disposed below the water flow board and collecting the water flowed down from the water flow board, a plurality of air passages dispersedly provided at the water flow board penetrating through the front and rear sides of the water flow board, and an air intake chamber provided on the rear side of the water flow board and communicating with the coat-processing region via the plurality of air passages, and communicating with an air intake duct provided outside the coating booth.

The disclosure relates to an operating method for a coating system, in particular for a painting system, for coating components (2), in particular motor vehicle body components (2), having the following steps: conveying, by means of a conveying device (3), the components (2) to be coated in a conveying direction through a coating booth (1), coating the components (2) in the coating booth (1) with a coating product by means of an application device (17-19) which applies a spray jet of the coating product, a portion of the applied coating product being deposited on the components (2) to be coated while another portion of the applied coating product floats into the interior of the coating booth (1) as an excess coating product mist (21), and reducing the excess coating product mist (21) from the interior of the booth by means in addition to or other than the downwardly directed air flow generated by a filter ceiling. In addition, the disclosure includes a correspondingly designed coating system.

The invention relates to a device for removing wet paint overspray from an outgoing air flow (120) containing over-spray particles. The device separates wet paint over-spray from an over-spray particle contained in an exhaust air stream (120). The overspray particles in the exhaust air stream (120) are formed during the painting at an application area (108) of a painting installation (100). The device (126) comprises of at least one separation apparatus for separating the over-spray from the exhaust air stream (120). The separation apparatus includes a regeneratable surface filter (146) and the flow path of the exhaust air stream (120) from the application area (108) to a separating device (145) having at least one narrowed area (146). The central direction of flow of the exhaust air stream (120) remains essentially preserved in passing by the narrowed area (140).

The present invention relates to an aqueous separation liquid comprising at least 49.9 wt. % water, 5 to 50 wt. % of at least one organic water-soluble polyol, based on the total weight of the aqueous separation liquid, and at least one low molecular weight cellulose derivative as rheology modifier, and to the use of this liquid in a process for removing paint overspray from a paint spray booth.

A system for painting objects having a plurality of ring lines extending along a painting booth, each ring line conducting an operating medium required for operating an application device provided in the painting booth. The ring lines are divided into at least two regions. A connection device connects at least some of the ring lines to the application device and has a terminal module. The terminal module includes at least as many ring line sections as there are ring lines. The ring line sections have terminals at the ends to connect to the ring line regions. A branch line branches off from each of the ring line sections, the branch line leading to a terminal device. The terminal device has an inner flow path via which at least some of the branch lines can be connected to an outlet terminal. At least one tube or a line connects the outlet terminal to the application device.

A paint booth or paint booth system is presented having an upper and lower portion containing a flood plane panel located at the lower portion of the paint spray booth. An annular region is formed within the flood plane panel for receipt of a metal mesh filter removably fixed within the annular region and at least partially above the flood plane panel, for filtering of paint spray booth contents. The paint spray booth may also contain a perforated plate fixed over the filter for regulating the flow of air and bulk fluid through the filter.

The present invention relates to a self-contained unit having a system for recovering polymer overspray from a pallet coating process. The self-contained unit includes a common enclosure having at least four walls, a ceiling and a floor. There is a collection tank located below the floor of the common enclosure and a roof platform is located above the ceiling of the common enclosure. Within the common enclosure is at least one spray booth having a waterfall wall with liquid flowing down a face of the waterfall wall to the collection tank. Mounted on the roof platform is a consolidation tank, hydrocyclone and pressure filter that are all part of the system for removing the polymer from the overspray mixture collected at the collection tank.
