Abstract

A method of electrostatic spray painting an article by means of a paint atomizing and charging device comprises atomizing the paint into a spray and depositing the spray upon the article with the aid of an electrostatic field, the method including the steps of maintaining the article at substantially earth potential, establishing a high voltage electrostatic deposition field between the article and a charging electrode on said device at high potential and a high voltage electrostatic field between said charging electrode and a counter-electrode on said device, the charging electrode being effectively shaped, at that part nearest the article, as a point, thereby to produce in the immediate vicinity of the electrode zone of high ionization, directing into said zone the discharge from the adjacent discharge orifice of an orifice type mechanical atomizer, whereby finely atomized paint particles produced in or directed into said zone are charged and thereupon move under the influence of the field between said charging electrode and the article, procuring that substantially all the paint in the discharge traverses said zone, and maintaining the region between said zone and the article free of any element, including said counter-electrode, which would significantly diminish the intensity of ionization or the deposition effect of said field in said zone, the average potential gradient of the field between the charging electrode and the counter-electrode being greater than that of the field between the charging electrode and the article. In a second embodiment, the average potential gradient between the charging electrode and the counter-electrode is greater than five kilovolts per inch. Apparatus is described comprising a mechanical paint atomizer, a charging electrode, and a counter-electrode arranged so as to produce a zone of ionization through which the discharge from the atomizer passes, the distance between the charging electrode and the counter-electrode being less than a distance between the charging electrode and the article to be painted at which, with a potential of not less than 20 kilovolts between the charging electrode and the article, the apparatus will effectively paint the article. In a further embodiment of apparatus the average potential gradient between the charging electrode and the counter-electrode is said to be not less than 5 kilovolts per-inch or is greater than the average potential gradient between the charging electrode and the article. The atomizing device may contain a resistor in the high voltage electrical circuit so as to limit the effective capacity of the electrode. The atomization of the paint may be by means of compressed air, or by ejection under high pressure through a small orifice. Additional air from a further orifice or orifices may be used to shape the spray.
