Disclosed herein is a powder container for supplying coating powder to a powder coating station. The powder container includes a powder compartment for coating powder, the powder compartment being delimited by side walls, one of which is provided with an outlet port via which the powder compartment is or can be fluidically connected to an inlet of a powder deposition system. The effective flow cross-section of the fluid connection between the outlet port and the inlet of the powder deposition system can be variably adjusted.

A powder coating booth includes booth walls and a roof which can be lowered between the booth walls, wherein a gap is provided between the roof and the booth walls. The roof has compressed air nozzles for spraying the booth walls. In addition, a supporting device is provided, which supports the roof. In at least one of the booth walls a vertical slot is provided through which the supporting device protrudes into the booth and in which the supporting device is movable. In addition, the booth includes a bottom (19) with a suction, which is connectable with the suction inlet of a cyclone separator via a suction pipe.

The present invention is a nozzle assembly having a nozzle main body including an ejection material suction port and an ejection port which ejects the ejection material with the compressed air, and an air nozzle which jets the compressed air into the nozzle main body. The nozzle main body includes a mixing chamber which mixes the ejection material with the compressed air, a first pathway directed from the ejection material suction port toward the mixing chamber, and a second pathway directed from the mixing chamber toward the ejection port. The air nozzle includes a compressed air jet portion and a third pathway directed to the compressed air jet portion, and the third pathway is inserted into the nozzle main body. The compressed air jet portion of the air nozzle is provided with a flow contracting portion having an opening.

The powder coating system according to the invention for coating workpieces with coating powder has a coating cubicle (3) and a cyclone separator (5), the coating cubicle (3) being connected to the cyclone separator (5) via a residual powder pipe (4). The cyclone separator (5) comprises in its inlet region an outlet tube (23) in which there is disposed a guide apparatus (50) that has multiple blades (51). These are designed so that the air vortex (28) impinging on the blades (51) can be deflected into a vertical air stream (30).

A cyclone is disclosed that includes an enclosure that encloses at least a portion of the cyclone. The enclosure delimits an enclosed volume between an interior surface of the enclosure and the exterior surface of the body. The enclosure retains a gas coolant or liquid coolant in thermal exchange with the enclosed exterior surface of the cyclone. A powder coating system is disclosed that includes a spray booth and a cyclone, where ambient air is added to process air that is drawn from the spray booth into the cyclone. The ambient air may be added to the process air to cool the process air to a temperature that is lower than the process air would be if ambient air were not added, and also may be used to dilute the powder overspray entrained process air.
