  • Patent number: 11325143
    Abstract: A powdering system, having a working configuration and a cleaning configuration and including a powder reservoir, including a supply chamber receiving powder; a sprayer, including a powder applicator, and a cleaning inlet, fluidly connected to the supply chamber such that, in the cleaning configuration, a cleaning air supply source can be connected to the cleaning inlet so as to circulate cleaning air in the supply chamber, wherein the powder reservoir includes a discharge opening, arranged through a wall of the supply chamber and opening into the supply chamber, and a movable plug, which is movable between a closing position, in the working configuration, and an open position, in the cleaning configuration, such that the circulation of cleaning air causes residual powder to be discharged through the discharge opening.
