Abstract: A device for application of coating powder in a process including a conveyor with an air permeable conveyor surface for conveying a base sheet in a direction of travel, wherein the base sheet is coated with at least one layer upstream of the conveyor, and a powder-applying device, arranged to apply coating powder onto the base sheet. A device for directing a jet of air towards the base sheet is also arranged downstream of the powder applying device such that the jet of air effectively removes any excess coating powder from the base sheet. A suction device is also arranged to create an under-pressure beneath the conveyor surface, causing the base sheet to be pulled towards the conveyor surface, and forcing the excess coating powder to pass through the conveyor surface.
