How does super glue (or any such products) don’t stick to the equipments making them?

It’s tough.
I worked in a place that made a isocyanate glue for our products.
We used a ton of replaceable plastic items in the production line. Plastic buckets, replaceable hoses, etc.
We tried to limit the availability of the reactive agent (water in the air, in our case) that the glue comes in contact with. But eventually everything gets a coating and needs replacement.
Other parts that were metal that could be taken out and left in a solvent bath for cleaning.
Everyday, most of the production equipment that came in contact with the adhesive would be disassembled and cleaned or replaced.
In some cases, we just had to make due without equipment that would be standard in other types of industrial manufacturing.
For example flow meters. We weren’t going to spend a few hundred bucks for a flow meter that would simply seize up after a few days.
