Claims13
An apparatus, for applying glaze in granular form to tiles maintained at a high temperature, comprising a tile conveyance system above which is a glaze dispenser unit, wherein the dispenser unit comprises at least an elongated glaze pouring edge which extends proximal to, and in a manner substantially transversal to, a path along which the tiles travel and which includes a terminal edge of an inclined surface, and means for depositing glaze on said inclined surface, the inclined surface comprising a forced-circulation cooling system which is located between the conveyance system and the dispenser unit so that the glaze when in said glaze dispenser unit is unaffected by said high temperature.
