An apparatus for producing flat-web products includes a slot die of which the gap and/or restrictor bar can be set via screws. At least one screwing device is provided for setting the screws, the screwing device including a cross member on which the screwing device can be moved to an fro. The cross member is fixably connected to the slot die on one side of the slot die. The apparatus has at least one bearing arrangement on the other side of the slot die. The at least one bearing arrangement permits a relative movement between the slot die and the cross member.

The invention comprises a die apparatus including a flexible lip for adjusting a gap between the flexible lip and a second lip. The apparatus includes linear moving members that are moved through pivoting pivot members. The pivoting members pivot by adjusting a slide bar. The apparatus may also include a cross-bar contacting the lip and extending substantially the length of the lip, where the cross-bar is connected to the linear moving members that are moved through the pivoting pivot members. As a result, the dimensions of the gap may be changed by moving the slide bar in a first direction or a second direction.
