The present invention relates to a painting line for metal objects, such as coating screws and nails, comprising a base for affixing said objects (2) at a space from one another on said base, members (5) for spreading paint on the objects (2) affixed to the base and, if needed, heating elements (6) for fixing the paint on the objects prior to freeing of the base. The base is a magnetic conveyor (1), provided thereunder a feeder (7) known in itself in the art for arranging objects to form at least one individual row to be in contact with the undersurface of the magnetic conveyor (1) so that said conveyor picks one object (2) at a time from each row. The paint spreading members 5 are likewise positioned under the magnetic conveyor (1) after the feeder (7) and separated from the magnetic conveyor by means of a thin sheet (8) disposed thereagainst, against the undersurface of which the objects (2) glide due to the action of the magnet conveyor (1) gliding against the opposite side of said sheet. Finally, a block (9) is disposed on the travel path of the painted objects (2) transported by the magnetic conveyor, in order to drop said objects off from the magnetic conveyor (1).
A painting line for metal objects, comprising a base for affixing objects (2) at a space from one another on said base, paint spreading members (5) for spreading paint on said objects affixed on said base, and heating elements (6) for fixing the paint on the objects prior to detaching these from the base, characterized in that the base is a magnetic conveyor (1) provided with a feeder (7) for organizing objects (2) in one or more adjacent individual rows to join on the magnetic conveyor and a thin sheet (8) positioned between the magnetic conveyor (1) and the objects (2) such that the objects are attracted from each row to the sheet (8) by the magnetic conveyor (1) and move with the magnetic conveyor (1) whereby the paint spreading members (5) are positioned after the feeder (7) in the travel path of the magnetic conveyor (1) and are separated from the magnetic conveyor by the thin sheet (8), the thin sheet extending along the travel path of the magnetic conveyor for at least a distance sufficient to protect the conveyor from the paint spreading members, against which sheet the objects (2) glide due to the action of the magnetic conveyor (1) gliding against the opposite side of said sheet, and that subsequent to the heating elements (6) which are positioned along the travel path of the magnetic conveyor (1) after the paint spreading members (5), a member (9) is provided on the travel path of the painted objects (2) conveyed by the magnetic conveyor, for dropping said objects off from the magnetic conveyor (1).
