for mixing with the vehicle and a source of recycled liclt~id vel2icle '! 3.
lJocated in fluid communication with the vehicle and agent sources is a mixing chamber 20.
Vehicle 1 1 flows into a mixinø chamber ~0 through a conduit t la and a control valve !5.
similarly agent 12a flows into mixing chamber 20 through a conduit 12a and a control valve I~ and reclaimed or recycled vehicle 13 flows into mixing chamber 2d through a conduit 13a and a control valve 17. By controlling the vals~es one can draw vehicle and agent into the mixing chamber 20 where the vehicle preferably in liquid state. can absorb and carry the agent so that one cats apply the agent to an article suclx as a battery part using the vehicle as the carrier.
In operation of the system for coating battery pans, typically Known vehicles o~- solvents such as triclaloylethene,perchloroethylene, tolue~te orxylene can be used since they do not interfere with the lead in the battery parts. Agents which are typically used to coat battery parts are materials such as wood resin or other commercial available materials one which is known as t~ppanol, which is sold by BASF .~C ofLudwigshafen Germany, chlorinated polefin,tita ntiaum dioxide or any other battery coating adhesive. ~lte agents a.re typically used to enhance the sealing of tle hattery part to the container to tl:e~-eby prevent leakage of electrolyte from the finished battery, In the preferred embodiment of coating battery parts evaporation temperatures of the vehicle a~-~ limited in order to prevent alteration of the battery pant as well as the trichlcia-oethylene which is the preferred vehicle to carry one or more of the agents that a~-e applied to the battery part.
In start up operation of the system the °~el~icle I f and agent a~-e directed through valves l5 and 16 into mixing chamfer 20 adhere the vehicle and agent are mixed to obtain a liquid vehicle carrying the agent to be applied to the part.
Located proximate the mixing clamber 20 is a e~roi°k station 3~ where parts are coated with the agent 12. '~Jork station 30 includes a conveyor 31 for carrying parts, such as battery parts, through the work station with the work station containing three stages, a lDrst heating stage 3~a, a second vehicle and agent application stake 30b aad a third vehicle evaporation stage 3~c. Located on cotiveyo~ 3-are a plurality of l~atter~l parts 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 and 37.
Battery pant 32 is located in the first stage of the work station 3E~. ~ heat source 39 in the first stage provides heat fof- elev~atir~g the temperature of the battery part 32. The temperate~re of the battery part is elevated above room temperature to enhance the evaporation of vehicle fro: the battery part. The elevation of the. temperature is determined by the type of vehicle as well as the part being coated. For example. the temperature of the banery part should not be elevated so as to prod~ice permanent changes in the configuration of the battery part or tree grain structure of the battery par t. .Similarly, care should be talon so that the vehicle does not get heated to a temporatrare vvhore tl~e chemical bonds of toe vehicle are bi°oken and unwanted by products are generated. if heating is maintained below chemical breakdown of I ~ the vehicle as well as b~°eal<dow~~ doev~~ of the part the vehicle can bo subsequently recovered for reuse.
In operation of station 30. after the pair 32 is heated the part enters the second stage, namely, the ecating a~°ea where a nozzle 22 sprays liquid vehicle contaiczing an agent onto boated lS parts 34, 3S and 36. C~nce the parts are coated, trey enter the last stago 30c of thework station where the vehicle is allowed to evaporate into an onclosure or hood that collects the evaporate.

C~nce the parts are coated, trey enter the last stago 30c of thework station where the vehicle is allowed to evaporate into an onclosure or hood that collects the evaporate. Part 3'7 is shown in the final stage 3~0 of thewo~-lc station 3C~
with the vaporized vehicle 28 being drawn into exhaust passage 4Q by blower 41.
2~ Thus work station 3Q contains three stages, a heating stage 3~a, a coating stage 30b and a vaporizing stage 3~c. ~Jlolo the system is shown with use of a heating stage to accelerate the evaporation of the vehicle other ~~;ethods of hastening evaporation could be used. For example, if tho pressure within ~ho~rvorlc station were louver or a vacuum was drawn the liquid vehicle would evaporate clfiiclCly.:~n advantage of enhancic~g evaporation by directing 25 the parts through a vacuum is than tl~o vehicle that evaporatern could be collected in concentrated form in the work station and subsequently condensed into liquid form without having to separato the gas iii the wor k stations from the vehis:le. In most operation tl~ework station 30 contains an air atmosphere; however, if n ceded the gas within the work station could be other than an air atmosphere.
Qnce the vehicle is drawn into conduit d-0 by blower- 41 the gas, which is usuallyair. that carries the vaporized vehicle thec~ei~~ is directed upward into a fluidized bed 49 containing beads of charcoal 52. g lie charec~al beads S2 are fed into the ~Iuidized bed through an inlet 50 and flow out of fluidized bed 49 through a discharge conduit 54, As thegas which contains the vehicle flows through the fluidized charcoal bed the charcoal particles removes the vehicle from the air- allowing the cleaned air to be discharged tIn-ougl:
a vent passage ~3.
The charcoal particles 5'~, which have now collected the vehicle, arE;
directed to a separation eharnbe~- 60 where the particles .~2 are heated by a heater° ~6 to drive: the vehicle in the charcoal into chamber 60. The vaporized vehicle 67 is then directed into duct62 which carries the v~aporiaed vehicle to condenser 63. As chamber 6~I is maintained in a closed cor~ditioz~ it captures the vehicle that is evaporated from the charcoal particles or beads. once the charcoal panicles have been heated to separate the vehicle there from the charcoal beads are discharge through passage 6I for reuse in eolleciia~g vehicle.
In operation of the reclamation or recycle system the concentrated atmosphere of vehicle 67 in tl~e gaseous state in chamber 60 is directed th~-ou<ph <~ passage 62 into a condenses- ~3 which convents the vehicle in the gaseous state hack into the liquid state.
The condensed liquid vehicle 6~ ther7 flows into pipe 66 where a pi~i~p 67 or gravity sends the vehicle though a passage 68 into a neutralizing station 70 where the vehicle can be neutralized in the event that any acids may haave formed during the vaporization of the vehicle.
The reclaimed vehicle is then directed into passage 71 into recycle oi- reclaim vehicle container I3.
~nce the recycled liquid vehicle 1 ~ begins arriving, one can stmt off the source of liquid vehicle 1 1 by closing valve 15. one then opens valves I7 to .allow the reclaimed vehicle 13 to mix with the agent 12 in the ;~~ixing chambea~ ~~3. The operation of the application of the system can now be done with tl~a use of only recycled or reclaimed vehicle.
'Thus the on-the-go reclamation of the vehicle and the on-the-go mixing of the agent and vehicle provide for ~oiltipn~ous recycling of the vehicle to permit repeated reuse of the vehicle in applying agent to the part.
