Abstract:
Apparatus for use in a system which dispenses, for example, adhesive capable of flowing, that melts with increasing temperature. The apparatus includes a container (10) to receive adhesive and a melting device (19, 25) to induce the rise in temperature, so that part of the adhesive is changed into a fluid state. An outlet zone (19) is provided, having at least one passageway (20) for the adhesive capable of flowing. In the outlet zone (19) a cooling device (19, 26, 27) is provided, for the purpose of cooling the passageway (20) after a proportion of the adhesive capable of flowing has flowed out through the passageway (20)
