Abstract
A method and apparatus for applying a flowable substance to a flat or curved product using a nozzle unit. The nozzle unit includes a nozzle valve that has a nozzle end with an outlet opening. Moist air and/or temperature-moderated air is admitted to a zone of the nozzle end to form condensation when the supplied moist and/or temperature-moderated air hits the nozzle end zone. Drying up or agglutinating of the flowable substance is thereby prevented at the outlet opening of the nozzle end to secure a continuous, unobstructed flow of the flowable substance from the outlet opening.
