A voltage assisted painting system includes a housing, at least one nozzle, and at least one electrode. The housing has a conduit for receiving paint from an external source into the housing. The at least one nozzle is disposed in the housing. The at least one nozzle has an inlet that is fluidly connected to the conduit to receive paint from the conduit. The at least one nozzle has an outlet that dispenses paint. The at least one electrode is provided at the housing at a location downstream of the inlet with respect to the conduit. The at least one electrode is configured to generate a magnetic field in the vicinity of the outlet.

The present invention generally relates to an electrostatic coating system for spraying a stream of particles onto a medium, and in particular to a system comprising one or more apparatuses equipped with a powder coating suspension device. What is also contemplated is the use of a powder management system configured to supply predetermined powdered and air mixtures to the apparatus and a controller configured to adjust parameters of operation of both the apparatus and the powder management system. The present disclosure relates to an in-line industrial device able to coat paint, starch, thermoplastic materials, or any other powder material onto a medium by successively controlling a plurality of parameters.

A sprayer assembly for an ion source is disclosed. The sprayer includes a capillary having an outlet, a sheath for the capillary, and an elastic member. The sheath can move relative to the capillary between a first position in which the sheath covers the outlet of the capillary and a second position in which the outlet of the capillary is exposed. When the sheath moves from the first position to or towards the second position, the elastic member provides a restoring force that acts to restore the position of the sheath to or towards the first position.

The angle adapter according to the invention for a powder spray device comprises an upstream housing, which has an upstream powder channel, a connection to the powder spray device, and a longitudinal axis, about which the housing can be rotated. The powder spray device additionally comprises a pivot body comprising a downstream powder channel, which connects to the upstream powder channel The pivot body can be pivoted about a pivot axis, whereby the pivot axis runs obliquely to the longitudinal axis. A nozzle is additionally provided, which connects to the pivot body. Several webs and grooves are provided at the housing and pivot body, whereby the webs protrude into the grooves, and the webs and grooves are formed so that they form a labyrinth. A high voltage line is furthermore provided, which extends from the upstream housing via the pivot body all the way into the nozzle and which is formed there as high voltage electrode.

An electrostatic spray dryer for drying liquid into powder including an elongated cylindrical drying chamber having an electrostatic spray nozzle at an upper end and a powder collection vessel at a lower end. The powder collection vessel includes a removable and replaceable filter collections sock made of filter material for receiving and collecting dried powder from the drying chamber. For cleaning residual powder from an inside wall of the drying chamber, a scraper member is provided that is coupled by magnetic attraction to a manually removable driver on the external surface of the wall.
