Abstract
A coating removal apparatus includes multiple pairs of rotatable brushes spaced apart from each other in a first direction. Each pair of brushes may include two opposing brushes that are configured to rotate about a common axis and move towards and away from each other in a second direction transverse to the first direction. When a coated panel is positioned between the two opposing brushes, first portions of the brushes may separably engage with and rotate on opposite surfaces of the coated panel. The apparatus may also include one or more liquid tanks configured to contain a liquid. When the tanks contain the liquid and when the coated panel is positioned between the two opposing brushes, second portions of the two brushes may at least contact the liquid in the liquid tanks.
