Abstract
Abstract In an apparatus for the continuous gluing of wood chips and the like with liquid glue, the chips are raised from a longitudinally moved chip bed and are returned into the same in free fall in the form of chip mists. The glue is exclusively supplied to the chips by pressure atomization by means of a plurality of pressure atomizing nozzles. In order to achieve good gluing quality with limited mixer dirtying and easy operation, glue distribution takes place in the chip mists substantially over the entire length of the chip bed and alternately at least one nozzle is closed, while at least one nozzle is open.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
109 words
A process for the continuous gluing of wood chips with liquid glue, the chips being raised from a longitudinally movable chip bed and returned thereto in free fall in the form of chip mists, the glue being exclusively supplied to the chips by pressure atomization by means of a plurality of pressure atomizing nozzles, and the glue distribution taking place in the chip mists substantially over the entire length of the chip bed, wherein at least one nozzle is closed, whilst at least one other nozzle is open, and wherein as a function of pre-determined minimum and maximum glue pressure, at least one nozzle is additionally closed or open.
