Abstract
An apparatus and method for applying a coating to an elongated substrate such as a wire or cable. The coating apparatus has an opposed pair of mouthpieces each connected respectively to a pair of dispensers which are in fluid communication with a source of heated liquid such as a hot melt coating material. The mouthpieces have complimentary recesses which form a throughhole when placed in a closed position such that a wire or cable passing through the throughhole may be coated with the liquid. The dispensers are operatively connected to actuators which move the modules in opposing directions to closed and open positions.
