Claim:
A device for applying adhesive in a slitter-winder of a fiber web machine, wherein the slitter-winder comprises: an unwinder for unwinding a machine roll in a running direction defined by a fiber web which is unwound from the machine roll; slitter blades for slitting the fiber web unwound from the machine roll into partial webs; a winder for winding the partial webs onto fiber web rolls; wherein the device for applying adhesive further comprises: a moving element mounted for movement with respect to the unwinder on a support structure in a cross-direction in relation to the running direction of the web; two adhesive nozzles that are attached to the moving element such that the nozzles are spaced apart in the cross-direction on the moving element; wherein the two nozzles are fitted to apply adhesive on ends of the partial webs for attaching the ends of the partial webs onto the fiber web rolls; two carrier beams that form part of a frame structure of the slitter-winder and are positioned on either side of the fiber web; wherein the moving element defines a movement path across the partial webs; and wherein said each of the two nozzles has a home position at one cross directional end of the movement path across the partial webs, in which one of the nozzles is as close as possible to the immediate vicinity to one of the two carrier beams.
