An apparatus for electrostatically coating an object using electrostatically charged powder grains. The invention improves upon the spray bell sprayer by having a fixed hollow shaft providing a central supply line for the powder grains, the spray bell rotates about the hollow shaft and a plurality of compressed air nozzles pass radially into the hollow shaft.

Apparatus for coating objects electrostatically

The invention relates to a process and a device for transferring a liquid from a stationary feeding component onto a working part which is rotationally driven, for example a spraying-bell, by generating a thin sheet of liquid in the shape of a conical shell, which is stable over a distance of travel which can be defined, it being possible to define the apex angle of this shell in terms of the functional parameters of the liquid, so that it is possible to select different impact positions of the thin sheet of liquid on the transfer portion of the spraying-bell, depending on the particular liquid in question.

Process and device for delivering a liquid onto a rotating and hollow

Objects are coated using electrostatically charged powder grains by feeding an air-powder mixture to a spray bell, fanning out the flow of the air-powder mixture and centrifuging the powder particles off the spray head. The powder particles are conveyed onto the object to be treated by applying an electric field between the spray bell and the object. A fluidized flow of powder, that is, a flowable mixture of air and powder, is supplied at low speed to the spray bell, accelerated minimally when passing into the rotating bell, then accelerated by the bell to 500 to 6000 rpm, transported to the rim of the bell and there centrifuged off.

Process for coating objects electrostatically

Process for electrostatically coating objects with a fluid, for instance liquid paint, by applying a high voltage to a spray bell and by feeding the fluid to a revolving, driven spray bell. The flow-rate of the fluid supplied to the center of the spray bell is decelerated nearly to zero when it enters the bell, then the rate of the fluid is increased by being accelerated by the bell to 15,000 to 60,000 rpm, and the fluid thereupon is centrifuged off the spray rim of the bell and is guided to the object to be coated.
