Abstract:
1. An anodizing treatment station in a vertical paint plant of aluminum profiles hanging in succession by hooks on a main overhead conveyor moving along a main conveyor line which passes through at least one pre-treatment station and at least one powder or liquid paint station, comprising: at least one oxidation bath; and a secondary overhead conveyor moving along a secondary conveyor line in synchronism with the main overhead conveyor; the main conveyor line has a first main loading and/or unloading segment facing the oxidation bath, wherein a first main loading and/or unloading mechanism is adapted to transfer groups of hooks from the main overhead conveyor to the oxidation bath, or vice versa; the secondary conveyor line has a first secondary loading and/or unloading segment facing the oxidation bath, wherein a first secondary loading and/or unloading mechanism is adapted to transfer groups of hooks from the secondary overhead conveyor to the oxidation bath, or vice versa; a first diverter which, upstream of the oxidation bath, alternately transfers to the secondary overhead conveyor, groups of hooks conveyed by the main overhead conveyor; and a second diverter, which to recompose the continuous succession of hooks downstream of the oxidation bath, alternately transfers back to the main overhead conveyor, the groups of hooks conveyed to the secondary overhead conveyor at the first diverter.
