Abstract

The invention relates to a device ( 10 ), referred to as a construction table, for producing a device, referred to as a filter module, for separating particles, in particular paint particles, entrained in a raw gas stream, and to a method for producing a filter module using the construction table. The device ( 10 ) includes a work panel ( 14 ) and a support structure ( 22 ) above the work panel ( 14 ), with a cutout ( 16 ) in the work panel ( 14 ), and support rollers ( 20, 24 ) that are mounted on the support structure ( 22 ). Among the support rollers ( 20 ), a final support roller ( 24 ) is situated above the cutout ( 16 ).

Claims (31)

1 . A device ( 10 ), comprising:

a work panel ( 14 ) and a support structure ( 22 ) above the work panel ( 14 ),

a cutout ( 16 ) in the work panel ( 14 ), and

support rollers ( 20 , 24 ) mounted on the support structure ( 22 ),

wherein among the support rollers ( 20 ), a final support roller ( 24 ) is situated above the cutout ( 16 ).

2 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , further comprises

a retaining structure ( 30 ) and at least one retaining finger ( 32 ) that is pivotable on the retaining structure ( 30 ).

3 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 2 ,

wherein the retaining finger ( 32 ) or at least one retaining finger ( 32 ) is adjustable in length.

4 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 ,

wherein the cutout ( 16 ) is delimited by two oppositely situated edges in each case,

wherein a carton ( 40 ) with folded-down tabs ( 42 ) may be accommodated by means of the cutout ( 16 ), and

wherein the edges of the cutout ( 16 ) hold the tabs ( 42 ) of the carton ( 40 ) in an open position.

5 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein a material web ( 28 ) is guidable over the support rollers ( 20 ), and is guidable by the final support roller ( 24 ) in the direction of the cutout ( 16 ), below the final support roller ( 24 ).

6 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the device ( 10 ) is intended for producing a filter module that is intended for separating particles that are entrained in a raw gas stream.

7 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 ,

wherein the device ( 10 ) is intended for producing a filter module that is intended for separating particles that are entrained in a raw gas stream,

wherein the filter module includes a carton ( 40 ) that functions as an outer frame,

wherein the filter module in the carton ( 40 ) includes at least one material web ( 28 ) that is folded over multiple times and that acts as a filter element and/or separation element, and includes spacers between sections of the material web ( 28 ) that face one another due to the folding over,

wherein during production and for producing the filter module, the at least one material web ( 28 ) is guidable over the support rollers ( 20 ) of the device ( 10 ), and is guidable by the final support roller ( 24 ) in the direction of the cutout ( 16 ), below the final support roller ( 24 ), and into the carton ( 40 ) that is placed in the cutout ( 16 ).

8 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 ,

wherein the device ( 10 ) is intended for producing a filter module that is intended for separating particles that are entrained in a raw gas stream,

wherein the filter module includes a carton ( 40 ) that functions as an outer frame,

wherein the filter module in the carton ( 40 ) includes at least one material web ( 28 ) that is folded over multiple times and that acts as a filter element and/or separation element, and includes spacers between sections of the material web ( 28 ) that face one another due to the folding over,

wherein during production and for producing the filter module, the at least one material web ( 28 ) is guidable over the support rollers ( 20 ) of the device ( 10 ), and

wherein the retaining structure ( 30 ), via the at least one retaining finger ( 32 ) that is pivotable thereon, is intended and configured to prevent the material web ( 28 ) that is guided over the support rollers ( 20 ) of the device ( 10 ) from sliding back.

9 . A method for producing a filter module by means of a device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 ,

wherein the filter module includes a carton ( 40 ) that functions as an outer frame,

wherein the filter module in the carton ( 40 ), as a result of the production process, includes at least one material web ( 28 ) that is folded over multiple times and that acts as a filter element and/or separation element, and includes spacers between sections of the material web ( 28 ) that face one another due to the folding over,

wherein during production and for producing the filter module, the at least one material web ( 28 ) is guided over the support rollers ( 20 ) of the device ( 10 ), and is guided by the final support roller ( 24 ) in the direction of the cutout ( 16 ), below the final support roller ( 24 ), and into the carton ( 40 ) that is placed in the cutout ( 16 ).

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the length of a length-adjustable, pivotable retaining finger ( 32 ), namely, a retaining finger ( 32 ) that is pivotable on a retaining structure ( 30 ), is adjusted to prevent the material web ( 28 ) that is guided over the support rollers ( 20 ) of the device ( 10 ) from sliding back.
