Abstract:
A treatment device is provided for single-stage treatment of a metal object, wherein the treatment comprises at least pickling and phosphating of the object. The treatment device comprises a treatment container for holding the object to be treated and for holding a flowable treatment substance, and a pumping apparatus for circulating at least a portion of the treatment substance. The treatment substance is flowable around at least part of the object to be treated, and the treatment substance is a phosphorus- or phosphate-containing solution. The phosphorus- or phosphate-containing solution consists of water and a reaction substance, and the reaction substance consists of phosphorus or of a phosphate and at least one additional substance that improves the treatment effect. The fraction of the phosphorous or the phosphate in the reaction substance is between 75 vol % to 94 vol %, and the reaction substance has no fractions of hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.

Claim (Index 8):
The treatment device according to  claim 1 wherein the treatment container has a main holding chamber into which the treatment object is introducible, and a first secondary holding chamber, wherein the main holding chamber and the first secondary holding chamber are connected to one another in such a way that the treatment substance on the one hand may flow out of the main holding chamber into the first secondary holding chamber, and on the other hand may flow from the first secondary holding chamber into the main holding chamber, wherein the main holding chamber and the first secondary holding chamber are delimited from one another in such a way that penetration of the treatment object into the first secondary holding chamber is at least partially prevented, and wherein the main holding chamber is likewise coupled to a second secondary holding chamber, wherein the first secondary holding chamber is a buffer holding chamber, provided beneath the main holding chamber, for holding a certain quantity of treatment substance, and wherein the second secondary holding chamber is a temperature control chamber, wherein the temperature control device is at least partially situated in the second secondary holding chamber.
