How the Electrostatic Air Spray Gun Works

The air hose supplies air to the spray gun. Part of the air operates the turbine and the rest of the air atomizes the fluid being sprayed. The turbine generates power, which is converted by the power cartridge to supply high volt- age current to the gun’s external charging probe.

The pump supplies fluid to the hose and gun, where the fluid is atomized by the air cap and the atomized parti- cles are electrostatically charged as they pass the external charging probe. The charged fluid is attracted to the grounded workpiece, wrapping around and evenly coating all surfaces. The external charging allows the fluid supply to remain grounded at all times and therefore eliminate the need for an isolation sys- tem.
