1. Introduction to top
The APSON Pulse Cleaner 2000 is a pneumatically controllable
rinsing block for aggressive lacquers and solvents. It is the standard
cleanerblock designated for the modular APSON Lacquer Changer
2000 M.
The APSON Pulse Cleaner 2000 is particularly suitable for
automatic painting systems with often changing lacquers and serves for
rinsing the lacquer changer switch, the hoses and rotation atomizers
or spray guns. 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 to top
The APSON Pulse Cleaner 2000 consists of a block housing with an
output and one input each for solvent LM (LO) resp. compressed air LU.
The output side of the pulse cleaner forms a pressure tight interface
to the valve blocks of the lacquer change-over switch.
A pneumatically controllable valve is assigned to each input.
Due to that alternated control of the two valves, the opening times of
the valves can overlap. Therefore the connetion fittings of both
inputs (compressed air and solvent) contain an additional checkvalve
each.
During painting, solvent and compressed air pend permanently at
the pulse cleaner. For executing the rinsing cycle, the solvent
valve LF and the compressed air valve LLF are alternatingly opened,
starting with the solvent valve.
Due to this sequence, an alternating flow of air resp. solvent
develops, which rinses reliably the lacquer changer switch downstream
the hoses and other spray devices. The duration of the rinsing cycle
as well as the switching sequence of the two valves depend on the
conditions of the painting process and are to be controlled by means
of a programmable logic controller. The more briefly the switching on
impulses of the two valves (preferably smaller than 1 second), the
better the rinsing quality.
-
Small solvent consumption for perfect rinsing.
-
Environmental careful short rinsing cycle due to high
throughput.
-
Very good rinsing barness due to deathroom-minimized valve
blocks.
-
The valves are compatible with the valves of the lacquer
changer switch blocks.
-
Fast valve exchange due to screwable valve technique.
-
Pro-active maintenance possible due to leakage display of
the valves.
-
Visible switching status of the valves.
-
Small, compact design.
