Apparatus for coating wires with paint

摘要

An apparatus for coating vertically extending wires with paint in which the temperature of a paint bath is accurately maintained and temperature variations within the bath are largely eliminated so as to provide constant coating characteristics. Vertically extending coating chambers are provided having relatively small cross-sectional areas so that heat generated by an adjacent heating element is spread evenly throughout the paint bath. A coating die is disposed at the top of each chamber. A discharge element is provided near the coating die and a paint receiving pool is stationed to receive the paint discharged through the outlet. The paint pool is in fluid communication with the bottom portion of each of the chambers.
