Abstract:
An apparatus for the coating of flat-form substrates, wherein there is arranged between two coating stations a turning station for the substrates, which are conveyed on a transporter pathway through the coating stations and the turning station,whereinin the turning station (4) there are provided in the same plane as the incoming transporter pathway (2) receiving elements (5) located, spaced apart, opposite one another, which enter into engagement with the edge of a substrate (11) or a holding element attached to the substrate, it being possible to pivot those receiving elements (5) through 180.degree. so that, when the substrate is discharged, they lie in the plane of the onwards-leading transporter pathway (2'), and wherein the turning station (4) is surrounded by a covering means (9; 14), by which the volume of air in the covering means is enclosed to avoid air turbulence during turning operation.
