Abstract
A device for distributing a flowable medium over the application width of an applying machine includes a pipe that has at least one medium-carrying conduit and a number of exit openings for the medium that lead outwardly through the pipe wall from the inside of the pipe, where the exit openings are spaced evenly over the length of the pipe. To improve distribution over width and to make cleaning and handling easier, the pipe wall is made of reinforced plastic at least over part of the pipe length, thus forming an inner pipe wall that extends straight in that part of the pipe, has accurate shape and dimensions and a smooth inner surface, and is provided with the exit openings.
