  • Publication number: 20060138252
    Abstract: The catching nozzle according to the invention for a powder conveying device has a tubular powder flow duct and a shoulder, with which the position of the catching nozzle is predetermined in the powder conveying device and that is arranged between a upstream catching nozzle section and a downstream catching nozzle section. The shoulder has a duct for dosage air, wherein the duct connects the upstream catching nozzle section to the downstream catching nozzle section. The downstream catching nozzle section is developed such that it forms, with a hose socket that can be pushed over the downstream catching nozzle section, another duct for dosage air in order to lead the dosage air up to the downstream end of the catching nozzle.

  • Publication number: 20030141393
    Abstract: In a powder spray device for the electrostatic coating of workpieces with powder at least partly comprising electrically conductive particles and having a powder channel (10) for delivering the powder to an outlet directed towards the workpiece the powder channel contains a local cross-sectional reduction. The cross-sectional reduction brings about a velocity increase of the powder in the powder channel, thereby preventing an adhesion of the powder to the inner wall of the powder channel.
