A system for forming a particle layer on a substrate may include at least one sprayer and at least two masks configured to selectively mask a substrate in a first region and second region of the substrate. The at least one sprayer may be configured to spray particles at the substrate, where the at least two masks maintain the first region and second region substantially free of the deposited material. A heater may be employed to heat the substrate as the particles are sprayed by the at least one sprayer onto the substrate.

A spreader roll for a distributing device for granular material or fibers, the spreader roll having a load-bearing cylindrical core, and being rotatably mountable to a frame of the distributing device. At least part of the outer circumference of the core is provided with a plastics trimming fitted with bristles and/or pins, the plastics trimming being tubular and being non-destructively detachably mounted to the core and secured against rotation.

A material deposition device for decorating an object. The device has a housing as a structural framework, an object holder, and a container releasably coupled to the housing. The housing has an object support for supporting the object to be decorated. The container creates a volumetric enclosure with the housing. The device is configured to deposit decoration materials onto the object.

A method for applying contrasting thermoplastic markings to a roadway in a single pass. The contrast road marking apparatus includes two or more ribbon guns configured to apply a first thermoplastic marking to a roadway surface area and a second thermoplastic marking, which comprises a color that contrasts with a color of the first thermoplastic marking, to another roadway surface area. The resulting contrast road marking has no visible or substantially negligible overlap or gap between the individual thermoplastic markings.

This disclosure relates to non-ferrous metallurgy and electrolytic production of Aluminium for lining a cathode assembly of an electrolytic cell. The present method includes laying materials while simultaneously distributing same over the surface of a base and levelling them at a height measured from the plane of the top edge of the shell of the cathode assembly of the electrolytic cell by gradually moving a device for installing unformed lining materials along a longitudinal axis of the cathode of the Aluminium electrolytic cell. Said device is configured in the form of a bridge equipped with a mechanical drive for movement. The bridge has guides on which a frame is mounted for vertical movement, said frame having cassettes provided with gates with a mechanical drive. The technical result is reduced labor costs, healthier working conditions for operatives, and better quality installation of the base of an electrolytic cell.
