Abstract: An electrostatic spray dryer for drying liquid into powder including an elongated body defining a drying chamber, a spray nozzle assembly at one end of the drying chamber and a filter element housing and powder collection chamber at an opposite end. A non-structural non-metallic liner is disposed within the elongated body in spaced relation to an inner wall surface for defining an internal drying zone. The liner is releasably supported within the body for enabling selective removal and replacement following a particular usage. The illustrated elongated body has a modular construction comprising a plurality of modules, with at least one being selectively removable and replacement for altering the length of the drying chamber for a particular spray application. The liner also is replaceable with a liner of a length corresponding to the altered length of the drying chamber or with a different diameter for a particular usage.

Abstract: An electrostatic spray nozzle assembly (16) having fluid delivery and return tubes (36, 60) coupled to a common fluid supply. A piston assembly (50) having a shut off head (50b) is moveable between (1) a retracted position that permits fluid flow from the fluid supply through the delivery tube (36) for discharge from a spray tip discharge orifice (38c) while blocking the communication of fluid through the fluid return tube (60) and (2) an extended position that blocks the fluid flow to the spray tip discharge orifice (38c) while directing fluid to the return tube (60) for recirculation in said fluid supply (21). An atomizing gas directing tube (31) is supported in surrounding relation to the fluid delivery tube (36), and the fluid delivery and return tubes (36, 60) and other internal flow directing components of the spray nozzle assembly are electrically charged in relation for enhanced electrostatic spraying.

Abstract: A spray device (10) for discharging a liquid as a mist is provided. The spray device (10) includes a main body (12) including a reservoir (26) for storing the liquid to be discharged and an atomizing assembly (30) in fluid communication with the reservoir (26) and including an ultrasonic atomizing head (36) configured to shear the liquid into droplets using sound waves. A spray nozzle (14) includes a nozzle body (78) with an inlet (80) in communication with the atomizing assembly (30) and a discharge orifice (82). The nozzle body (78) defines a first passage (84) that communicates with the spray nozzle inlet (80) and the discharge orifice (82). The nozzle body (78) includes a charging electrode (90) arranged in a second passage (94) that connects to the first passage (84).

Abstract: An air assisted electrostatic liquid spray nozzle assembly having a relatively long elongated nozzle body with a spray tip and surrounding air cap disposed at a downstream end of the nozzle body. The spray nozzle assembly includes an upstream electrode for connection to a high voltage electric source, an elongated feed tube, an electrically enhancing stinger, and the spray tip which are secured and retained by the air cap in electrically conductive relation to each other such that liquid passing through liquid passages of the electrode, feed tube, stinger, and spray tip is discharged in an electrostatically charged pattern of liquid particles. The air cap is removable to permit easy removal and replacement of the spray tip, stinger, and liquid feed tube.

Abstract: A lubricant dispensing system having particular utility for applying a tightly controlled thin line of lubricant about the perimeter of cans as they are processed. The lubricant dispensing system includes an electrostatic spray head having a nozzle body that defines a lubricant receiving chamber for electrically charging lubricant therein and a capillary tube supported by the nozzle body having an inlet end communicating with the lubricant receiving chamber and an outlet that defines a discharge orifice of the electrostatic spray head. The capillary tube has a diameter between about 0.2 and 0.3 inches for directing electrostatically charged lubricant onto an item to be lubricated in a controlled thin line having a width no greater than 0.125 inches. The electrode is adjustably positionable relative to the capillary tube for selectively controlling the rate of discharging lubricant, and the electrode is configured for enhancing electrostatic charging of lubricant through the capillary tube.
