A cooling system (100) for cooling a cable (10). The system (100) comprises: at least one fixed cooling channel (20), which is arranged downstream of an extrusion head (EH); and at least one multi-pass apparatus (30), which in turn comprises a set of fixed pulleys (32, 33, 34), and a fixed, motor-driven capstan (35) designed to wind the cable (10). The system (100) is characterized in that the multi-pass apparatus (30) comprises a movable pulley (36) designed to translate along vertical guides (39A, 39B). The movable pulley (36) and the vertical guides (39A, 39B) are contained in a cooling device (56) for cooling the cable (10).

Tape dispensers with an improved wetting system are disclosed. The tape dispensers include a holder for a roll of liquid-activatable tape, a wetting system that has a reservoir of liquid and a roller having an absorbable outer surface to absorb and dispense liquid, and a manually operated feeding mechanism. The roller is at least partially immersed in the reservoir of liquid and the wetting system includes a roller adjustment mechanism to simultaneously adjust an upward force applied by the roller to the liquid activated tape and an immersion depth of the roller into the reservoir of liquid. The wetting system may also include a pressure mechanism to adjust a downward force applied to the liquid activated tape as it passes over the roller.
