Spray applicator for particulate material

摘要

A spray applicator for particulate material includes a unitary powder passageway sized to be particularly useful with dense phase material flow. An external electrode assembly is provided that is keyed to an air cap that is used to provide atomizing and pattern shaping air to the dense phase material that exits the powder passageway. In this manner a nozzle is not required. A manual and automatic version of the applicator are provided, including a pattern shaping trigger that can be used by the operator to dynamically adjust the spray pattern. An automatic gun version has the multiplier located at a mounting location to reduce bending moments of the elongated gun.
