Developments in ELECTROSTATIC SPRAY PAINTING

Abstract

The electrostatic spray painting process is by no means new and its possibilities are now well appreciated. The French firm, Société de Anonyme de Machines Electrostatiques, who for many years have specialised in the design and manufacture of equipment for this purpose, recently formed a British subsidiary known as S.A.M.E.S. (Great Britain) Ltd. There have been several interesting developments in the equipment made by the parent firm and to introduce them to this country a demonstration of both manual and automatic types was held at the London works. The information in the survey below is based on this demonstration. Although only paint spraying is mentioned, this process (with suitable equipment) is used also for spraying powders, including types having corrosion protection properties.
