A conveying device for conveying a pasty mass in the manufacture of insulating glass includes a carrier for a cylindrical container with pasty mass. A follow-up plate is arranged above the carrier and is vertically displaceable for placing on the pasty mass. A conveyor line is connected to the follow-up plate for further transport of the pasty mass. The follow-up plate has an underside and at least an outlet opening arranged in the follow-up plate for connection with the conveyor line. On the underside several downwardly projecting projections are arranged around the outlet opening which are configured to be immersed in the pasty mass. At least one of the projections is formed as a rib extending radially outwards along the underside of the follow-up plate.

An applicator is disclosed for applying sealant to a moving substrate. The applicator includes a wheel having a periphery. A plurality of spaced apart footprints extends around the periphery of the wheel and each footprint has a sealant receiving feature. A reservoir is provided for containing a supply of sealant to be applied to the moving substrate. The wheel is rotatably mounted at least partially in the reservoir such that as the wheel rotates, each of the spaced apart footprints repeatedly moves through a supply of sealant in the reservoir to pick up a charge of sealant, around one side of the wheel toward the moving substrate, adjacent the moving substrate to transfer the sealant charge to the substrate, and around the other side of the wheel back toward the supply of sealant. At least one stop is formed on each of the footprints for inhibiting sealant picked up by the footprint from being urged rearwardly on the footprint by high speed rotation of the wheel. A backstop may be formed at a trailing end of each footprint and mid-stops may be formed between a leading end of each footprint and the trailing end.

A device (1) applies adhesive to cores which are used to produce a log includes a moving means (3) configured to cause at least one core (5) to advance along a feed direction (A) and a dispensing means (7) configured for dispensing an amount of adhesive (9) on the core (5). The dispensing means (7) are moveable along an application direction (B) substantially orthogonal to the feed direction (A) and are configured to selectively dispense an amount of adhesive (9) along portions (11) of the core (5) during movement along the application direction (B).

A vaporizer includes an outer tube configured to receive a flow of heated gas and an inner tube disposed at least partially within the outer tube. The inner tube is spaced apart from the outer tube such that the flow of heated gas is channeled through an annular space therebetween. The vaporizer also includes a crucible disposed at least partially within the inner tube. The crucible is extendable and retractable relative to the inner tube and within the outer tube. The crucible is configured to hold a molten metal such that a surface area of the molten metal exposed to the flow of heated gas is adjustable based on the position of the crucible relative to the inner tube. A heater is configured to vaporize the molten material and the vapor mixes with the flow of heated gas.

A system for applying a product (3) by roller is disclosed. The system has an applicator roller (1) for applying a product (3) on a substrate (4) and a first dosing roller (2) for dosing said product (3) on the surface of the applicator roller (1), wherein the system comprises at least one second dosing roller (2) configured to fine-tune the dosing performed by the first dosing roller (2), thereby adjusting the amount of product (3) dosed on the surface of the applicator roller (1).

An edge banding machine includes a foundation, an adhesive applying mechanism, a motor, a chain guide and a chain. The adhesive applying mechanism is detachably attached to foundation and includes an adhesive tank and an adhesive shaft that extends into the adhesive tank and has a lower end provided with a first sprocket. The adhesive shaft draws adhesive from the adhesive tank. The motor is fixed to the foundation and has a power-take-off shaft that has a second sprocket. The chain engages with the first sprocket and the second sprocket. The chain guide is attached to the foundation and has a guide wheel extending into the chain for pushing against the chain, so that the chain can move between a tensioned position and a relaxed position.
