Patent ID: 10190205

Abstract:
The method for spraying thermoplastic powders provides to feed a flow of compressed air and/or nitrogen and a liquefied petroleum gas through respective separated discharge chambers (9, 12), shaped inside a mixing device (1) of a spray gun (100), the separated discharge chambers (9, 12) being in communication with a mixing chamber (15). Then a flame is ignited at the mixing chamber, through a flame ignition device (30) connected with the gun (100), said device comprising a spark ignition device (31, 310), and a conductor element (32) associated with the mixing device (1) and connected with the spark ignition device (31, 310). The thermoplastic powders are mixed with a transport inert gas, and fed through a further discharge chamber (7) communicating with the mixing chamber (15). Then the spray gun is operated to spray the thermoplastic powders through the flame onto the surface of the article to be coated, to cause the melting of the same powders.
