The invention relates to a coating line () cleaning apparatus () and a method for cleaning at least a selected part of a coating line. The coating line cleaning apparatus comprising a conveyed entity having first and second mutually opposed major faces and at least one flexible cleaning element () having first and second mutually opposed major faces, said cleaning element being characterised in that each one of said first () and second () major faces is tacky, the first of said tacky faces of said cleaning element being releasably adhered to one of the major faces () of the conveyed entity (), and the second tacky major face of said cleaning element being temporarily contactable with the selected part () of the coating line to bring said second tacky major face () of the cleaning element into temporary contact with said selected part of a coating line to cause any contaminants present on said selected part () of a coating line () to adhere to said second tacky major face () of said cleaning element thereby causing any contaminants to be removed from said selected part of a coating line ().

Coating line cleaning apparatus

A system () for cleaning an object () includes a roll cleaner () having a rotatable elastomeric roll () with a cylindrical outer surface configured to contact the first surface of the object (), a rotatable adhesive roll () with a cylindrical outer surface contacting a portion of the outer surface of the elastomeric roll (), and a support (). The object () passes between the elastomeric roll () and the support (), which contacts a second, opposing object surface. An atmospheric plasma cleaner () includes a sealed chamber () and at least one electrode () disposed in the chamber () and receiving a high voltage to generate a plasma applied to the first object surface. At least a portion of an inlet of the plasma cleaner () is formed by the elastomeric roll () and the support (), and the contacting of the first and second surfaces of the object () by the elastomeric roll () and the support () seals the inlet of the plasma cleaner ().

System and method for cleaning an object

The invention relates to an adhesive roll comprising at least one sheet of adhesive material, the sheet comprising an adhesive and being doped with at least one optically detectable dopant.

Adhesive roll

There is herein described an improved contact cleaning surface and an improved method for cleaning surfaces. More particularly, there is described a contact cleaning surface comprising a micro-structured surface adapted to collect and/or remove microscopically sized contaminating material from a contaminated surface.

Surface cleaning

There is herein described a method and apparatus for photoimaging. In particular, there is described a method and apparatus for photoimaging a substrate covered with a wet curable photopolymer, wherein the photoimaged substrate is used to form images such as electrical circuits.

Photoimaging method and apparatus

A fluid supply assembly for a shaft mounted device, such as an oscillating roller, is disclosed having a fluid powered apparatus comprising a shaft comprising a first fluid passageway extending through a portion of the shaft and exiting at an exit point on the shaft wall; a connector arranged on the device having a bore for receiving the shaft comprising a first seal spaced apart from a second seal within the bore along an axis parallel to the shaft, the first seal, second seal, the bore and the shaft wall defining a fluid annular chamber, and a second fluid passageway leading from the fluid annular chamber to the fluid powered apparatus wherein, in use, the exit point on the shaft wall remains between the first and second seals. The fluid supply assembly allows quick release application of fluid powered rotating devices.

Fluid supply assembly for a shaft mounted device

A surface cleaning apparatus for cleaning workpiece surfaces. The apparatus has controllable operable cleaning rollers. The cleaning rollers can be moved selectively and independently such as to contact the workpiece in a desired sequence. The apparatus is particularly adapted for vertical operation.
