Abstract: A method for forming a closed frame-shaped spacer for an insulating glass pane by applying a paste-like and subsequently hardening strand has at a beginning of the strand a ramp in which the thickness of the strand increases from zero to a nominal thickness. An end of the strand's thickness is complementary to the rising ramp on the same path, overlapping the ramp, decreasing from the target thickness to zero, the surface of the ramp forming an interface between the beginning and the end of the strand. The beginning and end of the strand are pressurized on either side by placing it between a first jaw and a second jaw. The exerting surface of the first jaw has a property enabling the material of the strand which comes into contact with the surface of the first jaw to be removed therefrom by lifting the first jaw from the strand.

The mixed compound is injected into an intermediate space between two glass panels of an insulating glass pane by delivering the at least two constituents from storage containers into separate intermediate storage units from which they are delivered into a mixer in which the constituents are mixed while passing through the mixer. The compound leaving the mixer is injected into the intermediate space between the two glass panels by a nozzle which has at least one opening directed into the intermediate space between the glass panels. The nozzle is moved along the edge of at least one of the two glass panels. The constituents of the paste-like compound are pumped using gear pumps from the intermediate storage units into the mixer, where they are dynamically mixed by motor-driven mixing elements.
