Abstract
The invention is directed to a machine for processing a fiber web. The machine includes a spreading device with a width. The spreading device is configured for applying a liquid or pasty medium onto the fiber web, or finely controlling an amount of the liquid or pasty medium on the fiber web. A support beam associated with the spreading device has opposing ends and a length which extends across the width of the spreading device. Two support elements are engaged with the support beam for holding the support beam in place. The two support elements are spaced along the length of the support beam, with each support element being located at a distance from a respective end of the support beam.
