A process for producing a preform by cold spray deposition, the process comprising: providing a starter substrate about a preform axis of rotation, the starter substrate having at least one axial end having a substantially flat deposition surface; rotating the starter substrate about the preform axis of rotation; depositing material onto the deposition surface of the starter substrate using cold spray deposition to form a product deposition surface, the cold spray deposition process including a cold spray applicator through which the material is sprayed onto the deposition surface; successively depositing material onto a respective top product deposition surface using cold spray deposition to form successive deposition layers of the material; and moving at least one of: the cold spray applicator; or the starter substrate and preform product, relative to the other in an axial direction along the preform axis of rotation to maintain a constant distance between the cold spray applicator and the top product deposition surface, thereby forming a preform product of a selected length, wherein the cold spray applicator is moved in a plane perpendicular to the preform axis of rotation so as to deposit material as a substantially flat surface on each respective deposition surface of the starter substrate or product deposition surface of the preform product.

A surface adhering mobile coating apparatus includes a surface adhering and traveling device, a spray nozzle, and a spray nozzle X-axis drive device, and a spray nozzle Y-axis drive device. An operation procedure of the coating includes, regarding the timing at which the spray command of the coating material is triggered to the spray nozzle when the spray nozzle is moved from the start point to the end point in the forward or return direction on the X-axis, the timing is the trigger timing at which the spray nozzle leaves the start point in the forward or return direction on the X-axis, therefore, the timing at which the spray is actually started is slightly delayed from the time when the spray nozzle leaves the start point; regarding the timing at which the spray stop command of the coating material is triggered to the spray nozzle when the spray nozzle is moved from the start point to the end point in the forward or return direction on the X-axis, the timing is the trigger timing at which the spray nozzle reaches the part just before the end point in the forward or return direction on the X-axis, therefore, the timing at which the spray is actually stopped is slightly delayed from the time when the spray nozzle reaches the part just before the end point.

A device (1) applies adhesive to cores which are used to produce a log includes a moving means (3) configured to cause at least one core (5) to advance along a feed direction (A) and a dispensing means (7) configured for dispensing an amount of adhesive (9) on the core (5). The dispensing means (7) are moveable along an application direction (B) substantially orthogonal to the feed direction (A) and are configured to selectively dispense an amount of adhesive (9) along portions (11) of the core (5) during movement along the application direction (B).

Provided is a container processing system capable of improving a speed of processing containers with a simple configuration and providing a compact production line. The container processing system (10) includes a container conveyer (20) having a container conveying path (21a) that conveys containers (C) arranged in a row and a container processor (40) that performs processing on the containers (C) in a container processing area (A2) set lateral to a container transfer area (A1) set in a segment of the container conveying path (21a). The container conveyer (40) includes a container carrier (21) conveying the containers (C) arranged in the row along the container conveying path (21a) and a container transferrer (22) moving a container row including the plurality of containers (C) arranged in the row in the container transfer area (A1) toward the container processing area (A2).

An abrasion device for abrading a surface of a plant includes a sprayer configured to spray abrasive particles toward the surface of the plant so that the abrasive particles abrade the surface of the plant. A track assembly supports the sprayer thereon. The track assembly defines a path along which the sprayer moves as the sprayer sprays abrasive particles toward the surface of the plant.

Provided is a container processing system that inhibits, a processing liquid that is used to process containers from being attached to peripheral equipment. A container processing system (10) includes a chamber (30) having in an inside thereof a gas flow control chamber (35) and a container processor (40) including container treaters (51) and (61) that perform processing on containers (C). The chamber (30) has container processing openings (36) and (37) making the gas flow control chamber (35) and an outside of the chamber (30) communicate with each other. The container treaters (51) and (61) are configured to perform, from inside the gas flow control chamber (35), processing on the containers (C), which are inserted into the chamber (30) through the container processing openings (36) and (37), or on the containers (C), which is opposed to the container processing openings (36) and (37), outside the chamber (30).

A release agent spraying device that sprays a release agent to a die of a forming apparatus main body, the release agent spraying device includes a motor, a moving nozzle that advances and retreats in a direction intersecting a moving direction of the die and jets the release agent from a tip, and a connection mechanism that connects the motor to the moving nozzle and advances and retreats the moving nozzle by a rotation output of the motor in one direction.

A coating booth (101) for elements to be coated. The coating booth (101) comprises a passage between opposing vertical sides (107a, 107b, 108a, 108b) through which elements to be coated are conveyed.
