In a process and apparatus for use in surface treating cylindrical bodies, in particular for performing a painting operation thereon, the process provides for the translation of the cylindrical bodies whereby said bodies are supplied to, and discharged from, a rolling device associated with a painting booth, and the cylindrical bodies are driven in rotation and kept rotating with respect to their axis that is disposed in a vertical direction. The apparatus for carrying out the process comprises a series of rotary and conveying members which are designed to engage the vertically disposed cylindrical bodies at their lower base with reduced contacting areas therebetween, and to drive said bodies in rotation, the conveying members being in turn designed to keep the cylindrical bodies rotating during their translation. |
