Abstract
An installation (10) for conveying a liquid from a container (12) to a carrier material (45, 47). The installation (10) comprises a conduit system with two parallel conduit branches (24, 26). A conveying pump (14, 16) is arranged in each conduit branch (24, 26), and each conduit branch (24, 26) leads to a dispensing head (34, 36). At least one dispensing pump (14) is an intermittently operating pump, in particular a piston pump, while the second conveying pump (16) can be a pump of any arbitrary construction, in particular a continuously operating pump, for example a gear pump. The installation (10) can be used for conveying liquids of various, also temperature-dependent viscosities, such as an adhesive, for example.
