REMOVING A CAN FROM A ROTATING TURRET

摘要

In a high speed electro-coating apparatus having a plurality of electro-coating cells (96) arranged around the periphery of a rotatable turnatable (14), each can (128) is placed upright on a cell lid (100) below a hollow cell body (94) and is introduced into that body (94) by upward movement of the cell lid (100). An outfeed device (328) has a rotatable turret (352) from which radiate a plurality of can grippers (354) each of which is arranged to grip a can (128) delivered to it at an outfeed station of the apparatus and then to rotate the can (128) so as to empty fluid still remaining in it before releasing it in the inverted condition on to an outfeed conveyor (356).
