ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for applying powdered coating materials includes a central channel for directing the powdered coating material passed a conduit that mixes an air jet with the powdered material. The powder is then ionized and forced outwardly towards the workpiece. A conductive cathode attractor ring for creating a corona space charge which ionizes the particles is provided and includes a radially inner porous portion. Contamination of the attractor ring due to adherence thereon of powder particles is inhibited by diverting a secondary pressurized air flow through said porous portion thereby dislodging powder particles adhering to the ring. The porous inner portion is formed of a sintered mass of individual particles which provides an increased surface area for the attractor ring that, in turn, increases the corona space charge. A slidable deflector member is provided at the end of the central channel to alter the spray pattern of the apparatus.
