A glazing station for ceramic tiles, with an alternating rotating hood

摘要

The station (10, 110) for glazing ceramic tiles (74, 174) and the like is equipped with a distributor device which can be of a spray-gun type (12) or of a disk-pack type (112), and comprises a hood (18, 118) having an intermediate part (40, 140) which is cylindrical and has a horizontal or subhorizontal axis (40, 140). The intermediate part (40, 140) can rotate about the axis (46, 146) alternatingly and exhibits a slot (44) which develops transversally to the rotation axis (46, 146)through an angular range which is at least equal to that of the alternating motion of the intermediate part (40, 140) of the hood (18, 118). Means (66, 166) are provided for washing an internal wall of the intermediate part (40, 140) with glaze. A fixed external central portion (56, 156, 177) arranged at the slot (44) ofd the intermediate part (40, 140) enables the slot (44) to be closed. In a station equipped with a disk-pack (12) the fixed central portion (156, 177) is formed at least in part like conventional known central parts in known stations of this type.
