20170095834 · 2017-04-06 ·

The present design describes systems, apparatuses and methods for improving the efficiency, amount and quality of deposition of material on an object or predetermined portions of an object. The object's surface is coated with a charge by depositing a charged pretreatment material (or first material) on the surface of the object. In another embodiment, predetermined portions of the object's surface are coated with a charge by depositing a charged pretreatment material on the predetermined surfaces of the object. Then, the treatment material (or second material) is charged with an opposite-polarity charge and emitted towards the object where the treatment material exhibits a strong, opposite-polarity charged electrostatic attraction force to the first material, the object or the predetermined portions of the object. The result is an increased, consistent, improved and targeted deposition of the treatment material on the object or the predetermined portions of the object.

Rotatable shroud for directional control of application area

A controlled droplet application (CDA) nozzle has a CDA nozzle cone having a first axis of rotation in a first position and, after adjustment, a second axis of rotation in a second position orthogonal to the first. A rotationally adjustable directional shroud surrounds at least a portion of the cone, the directional shroud blocking at least a portion of a lip of the cone regardless of whether the cone is positioned in the first or second axis of rotation.
