A conveying system for a dip-coating system has at least one conveying unit that can be moved parallel to a conveying direction, in which workpieces to be treated can be conveyed through the dip-coating system, along a dip-coating tank of the dip-coating system, with which unit at least one workpiece to be treated can be moved in the conveying direction and at the same time can be dipped in a dipping bath contained in the dip-coating tank. The conveying system has at least one runway that can be disposed laterally beside the dip-coating tank, wherein the conveying unit has a powered vehicle of at least double-tracked and steerable construction, which is disposed with the ability to travel on the runway for conveying of the workpiece.

The invention relates to a treatment device and a method for removing coatings, comprising a vibratory conveyor with a conveying channel, which is designed in the manner of a trough, in order to form a treatment bath with a liquid decoating medium, comprising an inlet end and an outlet end for bulk material, wherein the conveying direction of the conveying channel runs from the inlet end to the outlet end. The conveying channel has below the surface of the treatment bath at least one feeding device and at least one discharging device for the decoating medium.

An article 7 made from a porous material, such as a ceramic material, is dipped into a liquid impregnating material 12, such as molten urea in a bath 14. After withdrawal from the bath 14, excess impregnating material 12 is removed from the article 6 by means of an air knife 22. The article is carried by a carrier or fixture 6 to be conveyed along the processing line on a conveyor 2. The fixture 6 comprises a lower support 32 in the form of a pair of parallel bars which define between them a slot 38. The fixture also has clamping devices 42 for holding an upper region of the article 7, while the weight of the article 7 is supported by the lower support 32.
