  • Method and equipment for powder spray coating
    Patent number: 6217654
    Abstract: Powder spray coating equipment includes a spraying system (2), an injector (26) to pneumatically convey powder to the spraying system (2), and at least one flushing-air intake (73) to supply flushing compressed air into the air/powder path at a flushing-air supply site where the flow impedance to the flushing compressed air is less everywhere in the downstream direction through the spraying system (2) than in the upstream direction as far as through the injector (26) in order to drive flushing compressed air from the flushing air intake (73) through the air/powder path and out of the spraying system (2).

  • Electrostatic powder spray coating system for car bodies
    Patent number: 5296031
    Abstract: An electrostatic powder spray coating system for car bodies is disclosed. Above the car bodies (14) are moved through the cabin and from which the spray organs (94) are supplied with powder. The powder container (92) is supplied with fresh powder and recycled powder from a supply container (36). Short paths between the powder container and spray organs allow precise metering and therefore a good coating quality. The spray coating is applied within an arrangement of inner and outer cabins which allows pressurizing of space between the cabins to prevent ingress of atmospheric air into and egress of powder out of the system.
