Definitions

  • the invention relates to an application unit for direct or indirect application of a liquid or pasty medium to a running material web, in particular made of paper or cardboard, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the liquid or pasty medium is generally supplied via a paint distribution tube which is arranged within a bar which extends over the length of the application unit.
