Definitions
- the coating apparatus of the invention in its preferred embodiment, is designed so as to permit articles to be passed through a mist of dust-like coating material in a continuous manner while suspended free of contact with any part of the apparatus forming the coating zone. No seals are required at the inlet or exit ports of the coating zone; and yet escape of dust particles from the zone may be entirely prevented.
- the apparatus is particularly useful for continuous coating of elongated articles such as pipes, angle irons, structural members such as those required in bridge construction, and flat articles or even small parts.
- thermoadhesive materials such as spray coating or fluidized bed coating
- Known methods generally require that the article first be heated to a temperature at which the solid thermoadhesive particles used in coating will coalesce and fuse upon the surface of the article.
- These existing methods suffer from several disadvantages. Ordinary spray gun application of thermoadhesive particles upon a pre-heated article creates dust problems.
- This invention obviates problems such as mentioned in the foregoing paragraph and permits continuous rapid coating of articles with a uniformly-thick layer of coating material on all surfaces thereof without the necessity of rotating the article during its passage through the 3,208,868 Patented Sept. 28, 1965 coating zone. Rotation of the article thus becomes optional.
- the coating zone is defined by the flow of the dust material itself, and not by seals at ingress and egress ports of a coating chamber as conventionally used.
- the preferred embodiment of the coating apparatus of the instant invention is so designed that more than one zone of intense coating is created where particles are applied as a uniformly-thick film or layer upon all surfaces of an article passing through the apparatus.
- FIGURE 1 is a schematic representation of the association of various elements of apparatus particularly useful for coating long articles such as pipe, with the coater itself illustrated in sectional elevation;
- FIGURE 2 is a schematic perspjective view of the coated partially broken away to illustrate a portion of the interior
- FIGURE 3 is a schematic illustration of a conduit system for control of the flow of dust particles through the coating chamber
- FIGURE 4 is a schematic diagrammatic view, with conduits represented by dash lines, illustrating the path of flow of particles in a continuous manner through the coating chamber (end view) and the unit (side view) for controlling the flow of the particles; and
- FIGURE 5 is a schematic representation of spirally overwrapping a rotating coated article, such as a pipe, with a strip of sheet material.
- FIGURE 1 the over-all operation of coating articles, e.g., pipe, with a protective resin layer, using the apparatus and materials handling method of the invention will be described.
- Two lengths of pipe 10 and 11, joined together by double cone coupler 12, are moved from left to right in FIGURE 1, by a drive unit A of conventional manufacture.
- External surfaces of the pipe to be coated are subjected to a cleaning action (e.g., sandblasting) in cleaner B, also of conventional manufacture.
- a cleaning action e.g., sandblasting
- the pipe passes through a heater C, where the temperature of the pipe is raised above the lowest temperature at which the dust-like or pulverulent thermoadhesive material used in coating is fused, but no higher than the temperature at which the pulverulent material decomposes on contact with the heated pipe in coater D.
- the pre-heat temperature employed may desirably be such that adequate heat is introduced into the pipe and therefore available to effect the rapid thermosetting of such thermoadhesive particles without need for subsequent auxiliary heat. This concept will be explained further in detail below.
- the pipe is passed into the coater D, as this arrangement permits of maximum control of the temperature of the pipe (or other article to be coated) as it passes through coater D.
- induction heating of articles to be coated may be accomplished essentially within the area where coating with the thermoadhesive particles is done.
- the particular expedient employed to gain proper article heating for coalescence and even thermosetting of pulverulent thermoadhesive materials in coating may vary, as will be evident to those skilled in the art.
- thermoadhesive contacting the heated pipe adhere to its surfaces and coalesce to form an essentially uniformly-thick coating which, when preferred thermosetting pulverulent particles are employed with appropriate pre-heating of the article to be coated, autogenously thermosets in situ.
- the pipe After leaving coater D, the pipe preferably is free of any supporting means for a short distance, the time 'for traversing that distance preferably being just sufficient for the thermosetting action of coalesced thermoadhesive particles especially designed to rapidly cure at elevated temperatures, or just suificient to allow 'non-therm'osetting particles to cool adequately to a non-tacky state after coalescence and fusion.
- the distance that the coated article traverse after leaving the coater without being contacted on is coated surface by any supporting element may vary; and if desired, the coated article may be passed through a cooler E prior to being contacted on its coated surface with any elements such as a support member F.
- the coated article may be passed centrally through a circular electrode as it emerges from the coating zone of the coating chamber.
- a circular conducting member having inwardly projecting conductive needles (i.e., electrodes).
- the coated article is grounded and passed centrally through this circular member, free of contact with the inwardly projecting needles; and the voltage applied to the circular member with its inwardly projecting electrodes is su'fiicient to form an intense electrical field with corona discharge from the needle electrodes to the article, such as pipe, passing through the field.
- the air in the field breaks down and an arc discharge occurs.
- the are discharge may be used to actuate, in timed relationship, one or more of several spray guns spaced concentrically about the path of travel of the coated article.
- a spray of patching thermoadhesive particles may be applied to repair any defect promptly, if such were ever to become necessary.
- the voltage applied to the needle electrodes may vary depending on spacing from the coated article, thickness of coating desired to be maintained, etc. Illustratively, one may use about 11,000 to 16,000 volts at a one-half inch air gap for many pipe coating operations.
- this coater comprises two annular manifolds 13 and 14 which terminate in (i.e., are joined with) annular orifices.
- the annular orifice defined by ring members 15 and 16 is for annular manifold 13; and that defined by ring members 17 and 18 for annular manifold 14.
- Each ring member amounts to a section through a cone, with the cooperating ring members that form each annular outlet converging toward that outlet, thus in effect creating a jet outlet for material introduced in each manifold.
- the cone from which internal ring members 16 and 18 are taken as a section may suitably be one having an angle of approximately 70 from its sides'to its axis, whereas the cone from which external ring members 15 and 17 are taken as a section preferably is one having an angle of approximately 45 from its sides to its axis.
- these specific angles for the ring members may be varied considerably, the critical requirement being that the cooperating ring members forming the annular orifice for each annular manifold must converge'toward that annular outlet so as to create a jet emergence of coating material therefrom.
- each annular orifice is in spaced stacked or non-abutting relationship to each other, with the ring member from the more pointed cone and thus the one having the sharper conical angle (i.e., smaller angle from axis to sides) located with its innermost terminus pointing toward the apex of the cone of the ring member possessing the flatter conical design.
- an annular outlet is formed which serves to direct powdered materials emerging therefrom toward the apex of a cone, the slope of which is a compromise between the slopes of the ring members between which the material emerged.
- the angle of emergence of dust material from the annular orifices with respect to the path of articles moving through the coater is an acute angle, with its apex directed inwardly toward the coating zone. Emerging dust material from each annular orifice is thus centripetally directed inwardly of the entrance and exit openings in the coating chamber; and articles to be coated are passed essentially through the confluence of each cone of 'centripetally directed particles.
- an enclosed chamber 19 which for convenience maybe referred to as a vacuum zone, since the pressure in this zone is maintained at a slightly reduced level (e:g., an inch of water below normal air pressure) ascompared to environmental pressure outside the coater.
- Each manifold of the apparatus is fed with pulverulent material through a plurality of conduits 20, preferably equidistantly spaced annularly about each annular manifold.
- Three such feed conduits for each manifold serve quite satisfactorily.
- About the vacuum chamber (between the manifolds illustrated in the drawings) are spaced a plurality of exit ports connected with conduits 21 for removal of air within the vacuum chamber and concomitant removal of excess pulverulent material not adhered to objects passing through the chamber.
- the conduits to and from the coater are terminated a short distance from the coater.
- conduits 21 for removal of air and excess dust material from the vacuum chamber are merged into a single larger conduit 22 connected intermediate its ends with a'filtered vacuum pump G (graphicallyillustrated) for removal of air and collection of any dustlike particles entrained with .that air.
- a fan H which serves also to draw air from the vacuum chamber of the coater.
- a conduit 23 for the introduction of additional pulverulent material into the system. From blower fan H, material is thrown through conduit 24 which divides into a multiple set of individual conduits 20 for feeding thepulverulent material into manifolds 13 and 14.
- thermoadhesive coating materials e.g., epoxies, phenolics, polyethylenes, etc.
- thermoadhesive particles such as inorganic enamel frit particles may be employed.
- thermoadhesive particles refers to particles which fuse together on heating and remain so fused after cooling. Such peraticl-es may or may not also exhibit thermosetting properties.
- thermoadhesive particles which also are extraordinarily rapid in their ability to thermoset or cure within seconds at elevated temperatures, are those wherein each particle comprises a uniform blend of epoxy resin, latent heat-activatible epoxyreactive hardener and accelerators or catalysts for the reaction between the epoxy resin and hardener.
- thermoadhesive particles A useful illustrative formulation for this type of rapidly-reactive epoxy resin thermoadhesive particles, remaining stable for long periods at room temperatures or even slightly higher temperatures, is as follows: 591.4 parts of solid epoxy resin (equal parts of Epon 1001 and Epon 1002), 51 parts of isophthalyl dihydrazide, 10 parts of dicyandiamide, 2.3 parts of tris(dimethylaminomethyl) phenol, 5.3 parts of alkyl ammonium bentonite (Bentone-38), 350 parts of finely divided mica filler, and 10 parts of chrome oxide pigment.
- the particles of this resin mix should pass through a 40 mesh screen; and they may be as small as 200 mesh, or even smaller (e.g., minus 325 mesh). Particles of about 80 mesh or smaller are preferred.
- the particles of this composition melt or fuse at about 300 F., and within a minute or so after fusing at this temperature, the mass gells and cures to thermoset infusible state.
- the particles of this composition melt, fuse and cure to a thermoset infusible state within seconds.
- the coater of the invention is particularly useful in the application of thermoadhesive particles as a uniform coating on appropriately heated articles, usually, but not necessarily, of metal.
- organic filler dusts e.g. wood flour
- inorganic grit or other particulate material eg talc
- particulate may be applied over a previously applied thermoadhesive layer by using, for example, a coating orifice (i.e., the annular coating means) of the invention.
- the coater of the invention may be used to apply non-thermoadhesive particulate material over a tacky substrate article (or a tacky coating on an article), whether 6 tackification is gained by heating or is exhibited under normal room temperature conditions.
- Different layers of material e.g., a thermoadhesive coating, followed by a coating of grit particles
- pipe or like articles may further be wrapped with paper or other strip material after they are coated.
- Such wrapping is conventiently accomplished by rotating the pipe 11 during the coating operation and spirally applying the strip material 25 as the rotating coated pipe emerges from the coater, as illustrated in FIGURE 5.
- vibration of the coater during the coating operation serves as a desirable adjunct to air and powder flow to obviate clogging of the apparatus.
- the coater of the instant invention may comprise a single or a plurality of manifolds and accompanying annular orifices in linear arrangement, with vacuum zones as described associated therewith. It will also be evident that the essential attributes of annular orifices as described may be gained by elliptical as well as circular members. Distorted shapes of myraid configuration may be designed to give equivalent results; and such, of course, is comprehended by the claims.
