Slide valve for separating chambers at different pressures in coating plant is opened and closed by sliding plate suspended between seals and operated by drives which are fixed in position in housing

摘要

The slide valve for separating chambers (1, 2) at different pressures, e.g. under vacuum and under atmospheric pressure, in a coating plant is opened and closed by a sliding plate (7) which moves in a slot in a housing (6). This is suspended between seals (9, 11) and is operated by drives (8, 10) which are fixed in position in the housing. An independent claim is included for a coating plant fitted with the valve.
