Abstract: A powder spraying head for spraying a powder on a can body to be coated comprises a work chamber inside the powder spraying head, a powder tube for providing the powder, a charging electrode for charging the powder with an electrostatic charge and a guiding electrode for deflecting the powder present inside the work chamber substantially in the direction of the work opening. The charging electrode is arranged in the area of the powder outlet and is formed with a tip in the direction of the powder streaming into the work chamber. Additionally or alternatively, the guiding electrode is plate-shaped and a flat side of the guiding electrode is oriented towards the work chamber.
