Abstract

A fluidizing container (1) has a feed (2) for fluidizing air ionized with single polarity. This fluidizing air fluidizes an electrically non-conductive powder paint fed in via a powder feeder (4) and charged with single polarity. A roller (5) dips in a depositing area (8) and attaches to an electrically conductive fixed earthed metal core (11). <??>An Independent claim is also included for a device for covering substrates with a powder coating.
