Abstract
The present invention relates to a Venturi powder gun comprising a body, an injector of drive gas and an ejector of a mixture comprising the powder product, mounted in the body. The body defines a duct for circulating the mixture, upstream of the ejector. The injector and the ejector are straight and extend respectively along an injector axis and an ejector axis, which coincide when the powder pump is in the assembled configuration. Means for indexing the position of the ejector within the pump body, in rotation about the ejector axis, make it possible to align an inlet of a suction chamber with the mixture circulation duct defined by the pump body.
