A fast-set, plural component, spray applicator (12) includes a stationary mix chamber (48) to eliminate dynamic metal-to-metal high pressure fluid sealing. The stationary mix chamber (48) mixes the plural components before dispensing the mixed components from the spray applicator.

A coating comprises a resin solution including a solution of neoprene latex and liquid asphalt emulsion and an accelerator solution including an aqueous solution of zinc sulfate powder and water. A spray system for applying the coating includes a spray gun having first and second nozzles, a first pump fluidly connected between the first nozzle and a resin solution reservoir for delivering the resin solution to the first nozzle at a first fluid pressure, and a second pump fluidly connected between the second nozzle and an accelerator solution reservoir for delivering the accelerator solution to the second nozzle at a second fluid pressure different from the first pressure. The accelerator solution may be aerated by a source of compressed air prior to discharge from the second nozzle.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for automatically spraying a glaze solution onto a dental prosthesis. The automated spray glazing system includes: a first spray gun; a controller, and a gripper configured to hold the dental prosthesis and to rotate the dental prosthesis about an axis. The controller is configured to rotate the gripper and spray a glaze solution from the first spray gun using a glazing profile based at least in part on a type of the dental prosthesis. The glazing profile is selected such that a cross-sectional thickness of a resulting-glazed material of the dental prosthesis has an average thickness range between 15 to 63 m and a standard deviation of less than 6 m when measured at locations in an upper half of the dental prosthesis.

A spraying apparatus for applying a friction modifying fluid to a railroad rail, comprising: a nozzle body disposed in a housing; a fluid inlet conduit in fluid communication with an opening in housing; a fluid inlet disposed in the housing in fluid communication with a first fluid conduit defined by or disposed in the nozzle body; wherein the first fluid conduit runs from fluid inlet to a hollow nozzle tip body disposed on and protruding through a bottom of housing and wherein fluid inlet is also disposed below, and in fluid communication with, the fluid inlet conduit; a control fluid supply line and an atomizing fluid supply line each partially disposed in the housing and each having respective portions external of the housing for connecting with the same fluid supply or respective fluid supplies; wherein the control fluid supply line injects a pressurized control fluid against a piston assembly disposed in a piston cavity; wherein the piston assembly carries stopper needle which is biased towards hollow nozzle tip body by a spring so that the needle closes a nozzle tip opening of hollow nozzle tip body; wherein the atomizing fluid supply line provides a pressurized atomizing fluid into hollow nozzle tip body to atomize the first fluid supplied by the first fluid conduit into the hollow nozzle tip body via a fluid cap disposed on the hollow nozzle tip body; wherein in operation the control fluid supply line and the atomizing fluid supply line are operated simultaneously while the first fluid is supplied by the first fluid conduit into the hollow nozzle tip body via a fluid cap such that the pressurized control fluid injected by control fluid supply line against a piston assembly displaces needle out of the nozzle tip opening and allows the first fluid to exit out of the nozzle tip opening where the first fluid is atomized by the pressurized atomizing fluid supplied by the atomizing fluid supply line.

The present invention relates to a grease application device in which a tip-side inclined surface of a nozzle 28 is made to closely face worm wheel teeth 11 of a shaft-mounted worm wheel 9 while rotating the shaft-mounted worm wheel 9 by means of a drive unit 12. At this state, the grease application device is configured to apply liquid grease from a tip-side opening of the nozzle 28 to the worm wheel teeth 11 of the shaft-mounted worm wheel 9 and to apply the grease while pushing the grease into concave portions of the worm wheel teeth 11. Also, the grease application device is configured to end the application of the grease at a point of time at which the shaft-mounted worm wheel has rotated one revolution with respect to the nozzle 28 after starting the application of the grease to the shaft-mounted worm wheel 9.

The disclosure relates to a needle valve for controlling a fluid flow of a coating agent (H, SL) in a painting system, particularly for controlling a fluid flow of a two-component mixture consisting of two coating agent components (H, SL), particularly a two-component paint made from a master batch (SL) and a curing agent (H), comprising a valve seat (7) and a displaceable valve needle (7) with a needle stem and a valve head (5), wherein the valve head (5) closes the valve seat (7) in a closed position of the valve needle (7), while the valve head (5) opens the valve seat (7) in an opened position of the valve needle (7). The disclosure provides a flexible membrane (18) which surrounds the valve needle (7) annularly and in a sealing manner upstream before the needle head (5).

The disclosure relates to a coating agent valve (1) for controlling a flow of fluid of a coating agent mixture consisting of two coating agent components (H, SL), in particular a two-component paint consisting of a master batch (SL) and a hardener (H). The coating agent valve according to the disclosure (1) comprises a valve seat, a displaceable valve head (12), a valve drive (15) for displacing the valve head (12) and a displaceable valve needle (14, 20) which connects the valve drive (15) to the valve head (12) and moves the valve head (12) in correspondence with the valve drive (15). The disclosure provides for an automatic reduction in pressure in order to avoid excess-pressure damage upstream from the coating agent valve (1).

A spray gun having a body formed of a front end, a middle, and a rear end, a gas cap attached to the front end, and a needle that opens/closes a liquid nozzle attached to the middle. The front end has a through-hole extending from a front side, on which the gas cap is disposed, toward the middle. The middle includes a protrusion in the through-hole of the front end and a through-hole leading to a liquid supply port formed in the middle and extending from a front end side through the protrusion toward the rear end. The liquid nozzle is in the through-hole of the protrusion. The needle extends from a rear end side through the through-hole of the middle so that a distal end of the needle is in a distal opening of the liquid nozzle in an insertable/removable manner.
