Powder coating equipment is used during the process of applying a coat of paint or other finish by using atomized and charged particles that are electrically attracted to the surface of a product. Electrostatic painting, also called powder coating, uses this equipment in paint systems.

Powder coating equipment includes a spray gun connected to a pressurized air supply and paint tank as well as a power source. The product to be painted is also attached to an electrical supply that grounds it. Industrial spray guns used are generally constructed of heavy duty plastic with interchangeable metal nozzle tips and fittings. The operator depresses the trigger on the spray gun to bring the powder from the container, through the hose and out the nozzle. The process is fast and wastes less paint while providing a smooth, even finish; powder coating can also reach efficiencies of up to 95%. Because of the electrostatic fields, operators do not have to be exact during the application process; for example, if only one side of a pole was sprayed, the paint would be electrically attracted to the other side and would automatically coat the entire surface. Powder coating is ideal for painting hard to reach areas. This equipment and process is used widely by manufacturers for truck body panels, watercraft, bike frames and many other products.
Powder coating equipment is similar to standard spray painting equipment with a few important differences. Electrostatic painting is possible because the powder that is used instead of paint is given a charge that causes electrical attraction to the product while repelling particles away from each other. The powder is either directly charged while in the paint reservoir or in the spray gun. In post-atomization charging, an electrode ring, mesh or grid in the tip of the spray gun imparts a charge as the powder leaves the nozzle. Another kind of spray gun is lined with Teflon and as the particles of powder rub against the barrel of the gun they become charged due to friction. Tribo guns, as they are called, require a different formulation of powder than Corona spray guns with the electrode tips. When powder coating is performed in an assembly or production line, a conveyor with hooks may be used to carry the products in and out of the spray booth or painting area. After the powder is applied, the products are baked at temperatures around 500°F. Some spray booths include heating elements. Powder coating equipment requires a more complicated and extensive setup than other paint equipment but it also offers distinct advantages.
