Abstract
A powder coating booth for performing therein powder coating onto an article to be coated is divided into an automatic coating zone in which coating is performed only by automatic coating machines and manual coating zones in which coating is performed by a worker. A dry type of first recovering apparatus which recovers only that powder coating material in the automatic coating zone which has not been coated onto the article to be coated is provided separately from a second recovering apparatus which recovers that powder coating material in the manual coating zones which has not been coated onto the article to be coated. In this manner, the ratio of reuse of the recovered uncoated powder coating material is improved.
