Tube for the electrostatic coating of workpieces
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A tube for the transport of a flowable material, comprising:
- a first layer having an inner wall with piggable properties for facilitating the transfer of a pig through said tube thereby moving the flowable material through said tube, wherein said first layer comprises perfluoroalkoxy polymers; and
a second layer providing at least one of isolation material for high-voltage resistance and material providing additional functionality to said tube, wherein said second layer is formed from low-density polyethylene encircling said perfluoroalkoxy polymers of said first layer, wherein said second layer is surrounded by a protective layer positioned adjacent said second layer thereby protecting said second layer from damage, wherein said protective layer comprises perfluoroalkoxy polymers.

Abstract
For the pig delivery of the coating material at high voltage in a system for electrostatic mass-production coating of workpieces in the vicinity of grounded parts of the system, a multi-layer tube is provided, whose innermost layer forms the piggable inner wall, while a second layer consists of a high-voltage-resistant isolation material and is surrounded by a protective outer layer.
