A flux unit includes a flux supply device configured to eject flux to a storage tray, an ejection port configured to eject the flux, and an ejection port moving device configured to move the ejection port in the radial direction of the storage tray. By this, the flux is ejected in a wide range in the radial direction of the storage tray. Also, the storage tray is rotated by a tray rotation device. Thus, the film thickness of the flux ejected in the wide range of the storage tray is adjusted by a squeegee all at once. Thus, the time required for adjusting the film thickness of the flux can be reduced.

The present invention relates to a manufacturing apparatus comprising a polymer blade for scraping soap adhered to a roll mill used to make bar soaps. The manufacturing apparatus can be used to manufacture bar soaps, particularly Zinc Pyrithione (ZPT) containing bar soaps, that is characterized by enhanced discoloration resistance and/or improve anti-microbial effect.

Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to a spreading unit, having a shaper, for spreading viscous material, in particular sealing material, on a component, wherein the shaper has a shaping contour for the forming of the viscous material in the course of the spreading. It is proposed that the shaping contour of the shaper for the forming of the viscous material is adjustable by actuator-based means.

A coating head includes a coating device and at least a first flexible blade that is capable of being shaped into contact with a solvent-containing film on a substrate upon pressing the first flexible blade against the film, thereby providing contact between the blade and the film over a contact distance when the coating head is drawn over the substrate. The coating device and the blade are separated by a spacing distance such that partial loss of solvent occurs from a starting film formed on the substrate by the coating device as the coating head is drawn over the substrate, the partial solvent loss forming the solvent-containing film. A method of producing a film having a hierarchical structure includes drawing a coating head across a substrate to form on the substrate via the coating device a starting film including a solvent and a material for forming the hierarchical structure.

A device for manufacturing an organic semiconductor film, including a coating member disposed to face a substrate surface while spaced therefrom for forming the film, and forming a liquid reservoir of an organic semiconductor solution between the coating member and the substrate; a supply portion that supplies the solution; and a cover portion that covers at least a crystal growth portion of the solution. The cover portion includes a guide that guides a deposit formed of an evaporated solvent of the solution to a film-unformed region of the organic semiconductor film. While the solution is supplied between the coating member and the substrate surface by the supply portion, the coating member is moved in a first direction parallel to the substrate surface in a state of being in contact with the solution, to form the film with the crystal growth portion as a starting point.
