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 1):
A treatment device for treating a metallic treatment object, wherein the treatment comprises at least the pickling and the phosphating of the treatment object, wherein the treatment device comprises:\n a treatment container for holding the treatment object and for holding a flowable treatment substance; a pump device for recirculating at least a portion of the treatment substance; a filter device; and a turbulence device for turbulizing impurities that deposit in the treatment substance;\n wherein the treatment substance may flow around at least a portion of the treatment object, \n wherein the treatment substance is a phosphorus- or phosphate-containing solution, \n wherein the turbulence device has at least one provision device and a fluid line element with a plurality of outlet openings for supplying a turbulizing fluid to the treatment substance, \n wherein the turbulizing fluid is suppliable by the provision device to the fluid line element at a pressure of greater than 2 bar, wherein the fluid line element forms multiple line sections that are decoupleable from one another by means of valve devices, at least the majority of the line sections being situated in an area of a base of the treatment container, \n wherein the treatment container is separated by a wall from a collection chamber for collecting treatment substance that flows over the wall, wherein the treatment substance collected in the collection chamber is conveyable back into the treatment container by means of a conveyor line, \n wherein the pump device and the filter device form an integral part of the conveyor line, and the conveyed treatment substance is conveyed through the filter device by the pump device, and \n wherein the conveyor line is designed in such a way that a weir flow for discharging a portion of the treatment substance from the treatment container and into the collection chamber is producible via the treatment substance that is conveyed back into the treatment container.
