System, method and apparatus for collection of overspray

Abstract

A system, method and apparatus for collecting overspray from single color coating applications. Within a spraying area are one or more curtains. The curtains are continuously coated on one side with the material to be sprayed through material dispensers aimed at the upper region of the panel curtains. The material dispensers coat the panel curtains so that material runs down the panel curtains and into a recycling pan. Spraying equipment is used to coat the object. The spraying occurs in the direction of the panel curtains. Thus, any overspray material from the spraying process is deposited on the panel curtains. The flowing material on the curtain collects the overspray material to and transfers it to the collection pan for re-use in the collection process. In the collection pan, one or more agitators may be used to ensure proper consistency is maintained for the material.
