The invention provides an apparatus for manufacture of paper and cardboards. The apparatus comprises a spray application plant (10) comprising spray nozzles (4, 5) for spraying an adhesive composition to at least one surface of a trajectory (6) and a press nip (3) for pressing the trajectory after the spraying of the adhesive composition, where the press nip is formed by two mutually resilient rotatable press elements (1, 2). The apparatus also comprises a first drying plant (20) before the spray application plant (10) for drying the trajectory, before spray application. The arrangement before the spray application plant (10) comprises a humidifying plant (11, 12), in which the trajectory (6) is configured before the spray application to profile with moisture, and when the inlet moisture of the trajectory before the spray application plant is 15%, the humidifying plant configured the trajectory on the intake moisture of 15-50% before the spray application to moisturize. The invention also relates to a method for manufacture of the paper and cardboards.
