ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a surface treating installation, especially for treating plastic parts or automotive bodies, which includes a transfer station for vertically or horizontally transferring an object. The transfer station comprises a stationary support structure, a carriage which can travel in relation to the support structure and receives an object, and at least one guide roller via which the carriage is supported on the support structure. The at least one guide roller has a rolling surface which contacts the support structure when rolling off. The invention is characterized in that the rolling surface of the at least one guide roller consists of an antistatic material whose volume resistivity ranges between 10 Ωm and 109Ωm. The invention allows to counteract the deposition of dirt particles on the guide rollers and on the mating surfaces, thereby reducing time and/or costs required for cleaning the transfer station or for post-processing the objects.
