PCT No. PCT/EP95/01964 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 27, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 27, 1996 PCT Filed May 23, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/33551 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 14, 1995A drop former comprises a drum assembly including a stationary inner drum and a rotatable outer drum mounted coaxially around the inner drum. The outer drum has holes which periodically become aligned with holes in the inner drum to allow a flowable substance to flow from the inner drum onto a cooling belt traveling beneath the outer drum. In order to redirect into the outer drum, residual portions of the substance which have not fallen off the outer drum, a directing device is disposed around a portion of the circumference of the outer drum. The directing device is mounted on a frame which pivots toward and away from the outer drum. In order to secure the directing device to the drum assembly, a ring is mounted on an end of the inner drum which projects beyond a respective end of the outer drum. The ring, which is rotatable and movable axially relative to the inner drum, carries a radial projection which is received in a recess of the frame when the frame is in an operating position. A manually rotatable sleeve carried by the frame can be threadedly secured to the projection.
