Abstract:
A method and system for powder coating non electrically conductive elements, preferably brake pads. A pre-treatment station is upstream of an electrostatic powder coating deposition station and a baking station for melting and polymerizing the powder coating in order to form a coating layer on a surface to be coated. The pre-treatment station causes the elements to be coated to conduct electrically by uniformly wetting said elements by means of creating poorly mineralized water covalent bonds on at least one surface to be coated, in an amount aimed at producing a measurable weight increase in the non electrically conductive elements, which then causes them to conduct electrically. The water adsorbed and/or deposited is subsequently eliminated within the baking station.

Claim (Index 3):
The plant according to  claim 1 , wherein the pre-treating station comprises:\n a rack having a series of powered rollers to enable the plurality of electrically non-conductive elements to transit along the path through the station; a plurality of nozzles effective to supply high pressure jets of water towards the plurality of electrically non-conductive elements, the plurality of nozzles being adapted to create a mist all around the plurality of electrically non-conductive elements; at least one feeding pump operatively connected to the plurality of nozzles; and a suction hood arranged to face the plurality of nozzles.
