The present disclosure provides a portable apparatus with a long rotatable spindle covered with compressible gripping bristles. The long rotatable bristle covered spindle mounted within the apparatus is coupled and detachable coupled with a battery-operated motor. One or more rounded objects with central openings are mounted onto the rotatable spindle covered with compressible bristles that grip the round objects. The rounded objects will rotate at a desired speed to facilitate coating their exteriors evenly and efficiently.

A method for applying a product by roller on a surface of a substrate (112) transported horizontally with respect to an application head (111, 111′) is discloses. The method includes moving the application head (111, 111′) immediately from a lowered position of the application head (111, 111′), wherein the application roller (122, 122′) applies the product in a predetermined position of the surface of the substrate, to a raised position of the application head (111, 111′), wherein the application roller (122, 122′) does not apply product; or vice versa. An application system using the method for applying a product by roller is also disclosed.

A treatment system, including a conveyor bed configured to transport a plurality of products; a brushing device located along the conveyor bed and having one or more brushes that include a first antimicrobial compound; a surface treatment device including a lamp configured to emit light of a peak wavelength directed toward a portion of the conveyor bed; and a coating device configured to deliver a coating mixture onto the plurality of products on the conveyor bed.

A method of coating a fastener assembly that extends from a substrate comprises steps of at least partially saturating a permeable body with a volume of a liquid and covering the fastener assembly with the permeable body. The step of covering the fastener assembly with the permeable body comprises at least partially compressing the permeable body against the fastener assembly and transferring a portion of the volume of the liquid from the permeable body to an exposed outer surface of the fastener assembly and to a ring on the substrate, surrounding the fastener assembly.

A battery paste application machine is equipped with a battery paste application hopper assembly. The battery paste application machine can be employed in a larger manufacturing operation to produce lead-acid batteries. The battery paste application hopper assembly furnishes automated control of one or more parameters of battery paste delivery. Volume of battery paste at the time of delivery can be automatically controlled, pressure of battery paste at the time of delivery can be automatically controlled, or both volume and pressure can be automatically controlled. Depending on the parameters controlled, the battery paste application hopper assembly can include a housing, a paste delivery roller, a feed roller, a scraper bar, a first actuator, and/or a second actuator.
