Furthermore, the disclosure comprises a corresponding coating installation and an associated operating method.
Claims15
A coating installation for coating components with a coating agent, comprising:
- a) a paint supply for supplying the coating agent to be applied,
- b) a coating agent pump for conveying the coating agent from the paint supply,
- c) a pressure line which starts from the coating agent pump and is fed with the coating agent by the coating agent pump,
- d) a tapping point which is connected to the pressure line and is fed with the coating agent from the pressure line, the coating agent flowing in coating operation in a flow direction from the coating agent pump through the pressure line to the tapping point, wherein the tapping point is designed as a pigging station and feeds at least one piggable supply line which starts from the pigging station and leads to an application device which applies the coating agent, and
- e) a circulation line leading back to the paint supply,
- f) wherein the circulation line branches off upstream of the tapping point, relative to the direction of flow in coating operation.
