Abstract
A flame spray torch which comprises a torch body and a torch head exchangeably connected with each other. Injectors are inserted in recesses of the torch body partly projecting therefrom and extending into recesses of the torch head. Each injector communicates with a respective supply duct for combustion gas and oxidation gas, mixing chambers being provided respectively in each injector and in the torch head, the latter being provided with means to improve the gas mixing. The torque reduces the risk of back-firing and allows the attainment of optimum spraying conditions for a great variety of applications by permitting an easy exchange, particularly with respect to the injectors.
Claims21
A flame spray torch for use with powdered or wire-shaped spraying materials with a torch body and a torch head, the torch body having feeding means for the spraying material as well as for a combustion gas and an oxidation gas and the torch head having a nozzle part provided with a plurality of gas nozzle channels and at least one channel for the spraying material, said torch having means for exchangeably connecting said nozzle part with said torch body along a contact surface, said nozzle part and said torch body being arranged so that said channel for the spraying material in the nozzle part communicates with said spraying material feeding means of the torch body, said torch body having at least two longitudinal recesses open towards said contact surface for receiving at least two exchangeable combustion gas--oxidation gas--injectors, said torch body further having for each injector an individual combustion gas supply channel and individual oxidation gas supply channel which supply channels are arranged for communicating with corresponding inlet channels of each injector, each injector having a mixing chamber communicating with said inlet channels and having an outlet channel arranged for communicating with at least one gas nozzle channel of said nozzle part.
