Abstract
Processing apparatus for processing a workpiece surface in form of an internal coating of cylinder bores which are arranged in a row. The apparatus includes a shield unit which is provided to separate from one another—at least during operation—a part region of the workpiece surface provided for the processing and an adjacently arranged part region of the workpiece surface, whereby the shield unit has at least one blocking nozzle which is provided to generate a fluid flow for separating the at least two part regions, wherein the blocking nozzle is positioned such that the fluid flow flows along the workpiece surface and the blocking nozzle is directed to the part region between two cylinder bores.
