Abstract

Device comprises a machine housing, an elongated, tubular rotating main roller (6), at least one coating roller (8), a magnetic pressure device (7) for holding the coating roller on the main roller, a feed device (10) for applying the substance to the coating roller, and at least one further roller (1, 3) arranged on the periphery of the main roller a distance from the coating roller. A sheet of material (4) is passed between the roller and the main roller and is brought into contact with the main roller by the roller.
