Abstract: A conveying device for conveying a pasty mass in the manufacture of insulating glass includes a carrier for a cylindrical container with pasty mass. A follow-up plate is arranged above the carrier and is vertically displaceable for placing on the pasty mass. A conveyor line is connected to the follow-up plate for further transport of the pasty mass. The follow-up plate has an underside and at least an outlet opening arranged in the follow-up plate for connection with the conveyor line. On the underside several downwardly projecting projections are arranged around the outlet opening which are configured to be immersed in the pasty mass. At least one of the projections is formed as a rib extending radially outwards along the underside of the follow-up plate.
