Abstract
A paint mist removing apparatus having a first liquid shooting section formed in a constricted passage of air laden with overspray paint mist. The first liquid shooting section scatters cleaning water from opening edges of a passage inlet of the constricted passage into an air flow passing through said constricted passage. The paint mist removing apparatus further includes an upwardly facing inclined surface for receiving the passing objects under the passage inlet, a downwardly facing surface continuous from a lower edge of the upwardly facing inclined surface, a curved section disposed between the upwardly facing inclined surface and the downwardly facing surface for deflecting the air flowing through the constricted passage toward the downwardly facing surface. The curved section for causing the cleaning water flowing down the upwardly facing inclined surface to scatter again toward the air in the constricted passage under the downwardly facing surface acts as a second liquid shooting section. The present apparatus also provides hollow spaces defined at opposite sides of an air path from the passage inlet under the opening edges of the constricted passage.
