A powder coating plant for coating a workpiece with coating powder includes a booth, which receives the workpiece delivered via a floor conveyor. In addition, the powder coating plant has an upper spray applicator arrangement for spraying coating powder downward, and a lower spray applicator arrangement for spraying coating powder upward. The upper and the lower spray applicator arrangement are thereby oriented toward the same workpiece. In addition, a manipulator is provided, to which the upper and the lower spray applicator arrangement is fastened. The manipulator is formed such that the spray applicator arrangements can be moved at least in the transport direction of the workpiece by the manipulator.

The present invention relates to a self-contained unit having a system for recovering polymer over spray 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 over spray mixture collected at the collection tank.

A cyclone separator for a powder recovery device of a powder coating system includes an inlet region with an inlet for a mixed flow of powder/air, a separation region adjoining the lower end region of the inlet region for the centrifugal separation of at least a portion of the powder contained in the mixed flow, and a powder collecting region connected or connectable to the lower end region of the separation region for collecting the powder separated in the separation region. The powder collecting region is shiftable relative to the separation region between a first position in which the powder collecting region is aligned in flush connection with the lower end region of the separation region and a second position in which the powder collecting region is not aligned in flush connection with the lower end region of the separation region.

A thermal spray cabin comprising a table to hold a part to be coated and a robot with a robot body and an arm, a spray gun mounted on the arm of the robot, a ventilation system comprising an air inlet and a suction hood designed to create a gas flow with a main stream from the air inlet to the suction hood thereby passing the table in an operating state of the thermal spray cabin. The air inlet, the table, the robot and the suction hood are arranged in such a way, that the robot body is positioned outside the main stream of the gas flow in the operating state.

The invention relates to a powder supply device for a powder coating system having at least one powder container (24), which has a powder chamber (22), and having at least one powder dispensing device, which is connected or can be connected to a powder dispensing channel (13) opening into the powder chamber (22) via a powder dispensing opening (36), in order to extract coating powder from the powder chamber (22) during powder coating operation of the powder coating system. In order to achieve as homogeneous and effective a powder conveyance as possible using the powder supply device according to the invention, the at least one powder dispensing device is designed as a powder dense flux pump (4), in particular as a single-chamber powder dense flux pump (200).

Disclosed herein is a powder container for supplying coating powder to a powder coating station. The powder container includes a powder compartment for coating powder, the powder compartment being delimited by side walls, one of which is provided with an outlet port via which the powder compartment is or can be fluidically connected to an inlet of a powder deposition system. The effective flow cross-section of the fluid connection between the outlet port and the inlet of the powder deposition system can be variably adjusted.
