Filed:

Oct 31, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/703149

Inventors:

Vincent L. Bednarz - Stow OH
Jeffrey A. Perkins - Amherst OH

Assignee:

Nordson Corporation - Westlake OH

International Classification:

B05C 502

US Classification:

118696, 118629, 118308, 118312, 118326

Abstract:

A remote control device that provides a wireless connection between the operator and a control console of a material coating spraying system, thereby allowing the operator to select, change, modify and otherwise control a variety of parameters and functions of the spraying operation. The remote capability permits an operator to be stationed at, in or near the spray booth so as to be able to observe the actual spraying operation and transmit instructions to the control console. In one embodiment, a powder spray system includes a spray gun having a pressurized air inlet and a powder inlet, a powder spray booth, a powder supply for feeding powder to the gun, a control console separately located with respect to the booth; the console being operable to control a spraying operation; and a hand-held remote control device for wireless operation of the control console by an operator positioned a distance from the console.

International Classification:

B65G 53/58

US Classification:

406 97, 406 11, 406 14, 406197

Abstract:

A pump for particulate material includes a pump chamber wherein material flows into the pump chamber under negative pressure and flows out of the pump chamber under positive pressure. A plurality of pinch valves are provided to control flow of material into and out of the pump chamber. The pinch valves are operated independent of each other and of the pump cycle rate. A modular design of the pump is provided. A pump control feature is provided for air flow rate control during positive and negative pressure conditions.
