Transporteur à tambour et procédé de transport de matériau de revêtement à écoulement libre depuis une position de remplissage inférieure à une position de libération supérieure et dispositif de revêtement correspondant
In a method for forming a layer of coating material (50), a conveyor (20) having a conveying part (22) which is pervious to the coating material is used. This coating material (50) is displaced on the conveying part (22) over a guide plate (36) into a coating zone. At the end of a coating zone, excess coating material is returned using a return part (26) of a conveyor. To form a layer (53) of coating material (50) on the conveying part (22), the coating material (50) is moved from the return part (26) through the conveying part (22) onto the conveying part (22). <;IMAGE>;
