The mono pumpis driven by a servomotor via an insulating drive shaft. Paint in the paint bagis drawn up when the helical shaftrotates, and it is delivered to a bell cupthrough the feed tube. Quantity of paint atomized by the bell cupand interruption of the atomization are controlled by controlling the rotation of the mono pump
