Abstract: Method and apparatus for continuously producing emulsions with particles of a disperse phase liquid in a continuous phase liquid, employing an emulsifying vessel which is interiorly provided with a gravitative flow surface and a feeder for supplying the continuous phase liquid to the flow surface for forming thereon a stream of the continuous phase liquid. On the other hand, disposed within the emulsifying vessel is a rotary atomizing head which is connected to a disperse phase liquid source and a rotational drive means and maintained at a high voltage to stratify and form a spray of atomized particles of the disperse phase liquid flying toward the flow surface under the influence of centrifugal force and electrostatic action. The disperse phase particles from the rotary atomizing head are entrained and dispersed in the stream of the continuous phase liquid on the flow surface of the emulsifying vessel to form an emulsion. The resulting emulsion is collected in a receptacle.

Abstract: A method of atomizing liquid paint using a rotating atomizing device and electrostatically coating an article with a smooth homogeneous film of paint and without the generation of foam or other surface irregularities on the article being coated, wherein an electrostatic field is established between the peripheral edge of the rotating atomizing device and the article to be coated and the liquid paint flows toward the edge of the atomizing device as a continuous thin film, which film is formed into a circumferential series of branch flows of narrow width flowing in the peripheral direction of the atomizing edge, and the liquid paint is atomized from the series of branch flows as they are projected beyond the edge of the atomizing device. The rotary atomizing device may be in the form of a bell or disk and includes a plurality of shallow grooves near its periphery preferably extending radially and of increasing depth in the direction of paint flow and terminating at the discharge edge.
