<p>A magnetic conveyor system (10) for transporting ferromagnetic cans through an immersion or electro-immersion coating bath (14) includes a magnetic infeed conveyor (16), a magnetic coating conveyor (20) which includes an endless conveyor belt for removing the cans from the infeed conveyor and transporting them through the coating bath, and a magnetic outfeed conveyor for removing the cans from the coating conveyor. The cans are transported with a closed bottom (48) of each can magnetically held to the conveyor belt and an open top (30) of each can facing outwardly from the belt. The cans are transported into the coating bath at the inlet run with the closed bottom of each can entering the bath before the open top and emerge from the coating bath with the closed bottom of each can leading the open top.</p> |
