Abstract
An apparatus for coating glass articles includes a housing structure defining a chamber for receiving air or other fluid from a source of pressurized air that is in fluid communication with the chamber. The housing structure has an open end and a surface defined along at least a portion of the open end. A hot-swappable insert is removably positioned on the surface. The hot-swappable insert has a series of apertures for distributing the air or other fluid from the chamber and onto a surface of the glass articles that are positioned adjacent the insert. The insert can be replaced with another insert to adjust the flow path of the air or other fluid onto the glass articles.
