1. Introduction

^  0  1  2  3  4  5 
The APSON Turbo-Pulse Cleaner 2001 is a pneumatically controllable rinsing block for aggressive lacquers and solvents. It is an optionally available cleaner block for the modular APSON Lacquer Changer 2000 M and is particularly suitable for automatic painting systems with often changing lacquers. It serves for rinsing the lacquer changer switch, the hoses and rotation atomizers or spray guns.

This cleaner type is an advancement of the APSON Pulse Cleaner 2000 and is optimized for economical solvent consumption at the same rinsing quality. It avoids reliably a pollution of the newly connected lacquer during the painting process and ensures thus a perfect lacquer change.

2. Structure and Function

^  0  1  2  3  4  5 
The APSON Turbo-Pulse Cleaner 2001 consists of a block housing with an output and one input each for solvent LO resp. compressed air LU. The output side of the Turbo-Pulse Cleaner forms a pressure tight interface to the valve blocks of the lacquer changer switch.
A pneumatically controllable valve is assigned to each input. To ensure a safe function of the Turbo-Pulse Cleaner the pressure at the solvent input must be approx. 1 to 1.5 bar greater than the pressure at the compressed air input. Therefore the fitting for the compressed air input is provided with an additional check valve.
During painting, solvent and compressed air pend permanently at the turbo-pulse cleaner. If a rinsing cycle is to be initiated, then with still closed compressed air valve LLF first the solvent valve LF is opened. Briefly afterwards the compressed air is released for the entire duration of the rinsing cycle. With opened compressed air valve the flow of the solvent is then periodically interrupted and released again in short time intervals. At the end of the rinsing cycle, the air flow as well as the solvent flow are stopped.
Due to this sequence, a pulsating media flow from air-sputtered solvent develops, which reliably rinses downstream the lacquer changer switch, the hoses and other spray devices. The duration of the rinsing cycle as well as the switching frequency of the solvent valve depend on the conditions of the painting process and has to be controlled by means of a programmable logic controller. The more briefly the switching-on impulses of the solvent valve (preferably smaller than 1 second), the better the rinsing quality.
