Normally you charge the powder with electricity from a electrode in the tip of the gun, but another way to do it is friction charge it, basically agitating the powder so it collide with itself and so build up a static charge, just like in a cloud with thunder.
I preferred to use the friction gun, well at least when i had to repairing stuff they messed up on the main line as there was no time to send it around again there.

You can have electric build up on the subject which can make it hard to get the powder to apply even again, but there are also ways to Degauss a fire door or what ever it is you are repainting.


I have seen some ( Chinese ) pretty much just dip stuff in a big vat of powder agitated by air from below,,,,,, you also need this for some 2 component powders so its mixed properly before you spray it, but in automated spray boots that recycle powder air on the powder are also used even if its just 1 component.
This is generally a air pipe that sit below the suction pipe for the powder.


IF things hanging on the conveyor are not grounded properly, and go thru a spray booth with like 8 - 10 guns in it, well the high voltage in the guns tip can actually create a powder explosion.

If you READ the site RULES, understood them you would not be having these issues. This is a PRIVATE owned web site and we members are guests that are allowed to talk & converse, barter and sell so long as within the established rules you agreed to when signing up. I'm by no miens the site police but do understand pretty much what WILL or WON'T be tolerated. So with that said .. good luck.

I understand that. Admittedly, I never even read the rules, just signed up with the common sense of things that aren't tolerated like picking fights and other common sense things. Then I find out that it's forbidden to even mention powder burners or ask the legality of suppressors, etc... Just seems stupid and I have a problem with over stretching rules. Yeah yeah, its their house, their rules.

Well its not ever going to be like the old Yellow" but its the best we got" Michael is a cool dude"hay he lets me on here" and only be reprimand a couple times" at least i did,nt have to bend over and hold my ankles and wait for that board with all the hole's in it?"O" wait a minute thats when children could be punished?well i better get outa here before i do get in some sort of trouble" Willy

I like it, fine lines of wisdom = wise cracks

If I had the choice between doing something and doing nothing, I'd choose nothing. Unless it was to help someone else do nothing. I would work all night if it meant nothing would get done.

I just learned that Princeton is in New Jersey, where the hell do they source their students.

Man i miss beating the living hell out of some red hot steel, it have been almost 4 decades since i made my last knife.

He says, "Got your back, Dad!"

Cherish these moments, because as we all know, our much loved friends leave us way too early.

I have been blessed with nine much loved dogs and two horses, and when each goes to Heaven, I am heartbroken.

My rule is, if the dog comes and bugs me, I stop what I'm doing and do something with the dog. Some day, my dogs will be gone. So will I. Time is short to enjoy such wealth.
