Abstract (en)

Cleaning of painting spindles (2), wherein a lower end (50) of the spindles is engaged on a conveyor (3), which feeds them along a cleaning chamber (5), which is provided with blowing nozzles (6), and along a first and a second pre-chamber (11, 12), which are arranged in series upstream and downstream of the cleaning chamber, inlet and outlet openings (13, 15) of the cleaning chamber (5) being closed by first squeegee blades (18) shaped like foils or brushes, and through inlet and outlet slits of the pre-chambers provided with air curtain seals; the nozzles being divided into a first and a second bench (41, 42) spaced apart from one another with a pitch that is such that the first bench sends compressed air on first angular sectors (S1) of the spindles, whereas the second bench sends compressed air on second angular sectors (S2) of the spindles.
