A vacuum deposition facility for continuously depositing, on a running substrate, coatings formed from metal or metal alloy, and including:

Vacuum deposition facility and method for coating a substrate

A vacuum deposition facilityfor continuously depositing, on a running substrate S, coatings formed from metal or metal alloy, the facility including an evaporation cruciblesuited to supply metal or metal alloy vapor and including an evaporation pipe, a deposition chambersuited to have the substrate S run through along a given path P and a vapor jet coaterlinking the evaporation pipe to the deposition chamber, wherein the vapor jet coater further includes a repartition chamberincluding at least one reheaterpositioned within the repartition chamber and a vapor outlet orificeincluding a base opening linking the vapor outlet orifice to the repartition chamber, a top opening through which the vapor can exit in the deposition chamber and two sides converging toward each other in the direction of the top opening.

Vacuum deposition facility and method for coating a substrate with transverse repartition chamber

A vacuum deposition facility for continuously depositing, on a running substrate, coatings formed from metal or metal alloy, the facility including—a vacuum chamber and a device for running the substrate through the vacuum chamber along a given path, wherein the vacuum chamber further includes:

The invention relates to a vapour generator for the deposition of a metal coating onto a substrate (), preferably a steel strip, that comprises a vacuum chamber () in the form of a housing including a vapour deposition head or ejector () in tight communication via a supply duct () with at least one crucible () containing the coating metal in a liquid form and located outside the vacuum chamber (), characterised in that the ejector () includes a longitudinal slot for the vapour outlet acting as a sonic throat and extending on the entire width of the substrate (), a filtration medium or a charge loss member (A) made of a sintered material being provided in the ejector immediately before said slot on the vapour path in order to equalise the flow speed of the vapour exiting the ejector () through the sonic throat.

Industrial vapour generator for the deposition of an alloy coating onto a metal strip

The present invention relates to a facility for the continuous vacuum deposition of a metal coating on a substrate in motion, comprising a vacuum deposition enclosure (), at least one vapor jet deposition head () connected to an evaporator pot () designed to contain the coating metal in liquid form (), through a vapor supply pipe () provided with a distribution valve (), and a melting furnace () for said metal, said furnace being at atmospheric pressure, located below the lowest portion of the evaporator pot () and connected to the evaporator pot () by at least one automatic supply pipe () of the evaporator pot () provided with a supply pump () and by at least one liquid metal return pipe (A,) optionally provided with a valve (), regulating means for the supply pump () further being present to regulate a determined liquid metal level in the evaporator pot (), characterized in that it comprises, in each said supply and return pipes (A,), a so-called heat valve area () provided with a heating device and a cooling device to obtain a regulated temperature, independent of that of the melting furnace (), that prevailing in the remaining portion of said pipes (A,) and in the evaporator pipe (), to melt or solidify the metal found in that location.

Automatic supply device for an industrial metal vapor generator

The invention relates to a sealing lock, for an in vacuo chamber for deposition on a, preferably metallic, endless strip, characterized in that: the metal rollers are mounted on brackets, fixed to the covers and are immovable like the latter, the rollers of the same pair have the axes thereof arranged in the same vertical plane and are of different diameter, the position of the roller with the smaller diameter being alternated up and down on passing from a given pair to the next pair, the support cradles for the two rollers of the same pair have a lateral projection towards the center, the spacing of which with regard to the base for said rollers defines a second gap.
