Abstract:
In the electrostatic application of a coating material on to a product to be coated, the product leaves a supply hopper (1) over a tube enlargement (5A) and falls freely in a chamber (2) in the form of a tubular curtain. The tubular curtain falls around a central, elongate, vertical corona discharge electrode (6) so that a high voltage electrostatic charge of one sign is applied to the falling curtain of the product. Coating material is sprayed on to the product by atomizers (A1 to A6) in the chamber (2). A high voltage electrostatic charge of opposite sign is applied to the coating material by way of the atomizers (A1 to A6).
