To distribute solid particles evenly on a moving web.
This assembly includes the moving web drawn in a 1st direction and a spreading apparatus evenly distributing the solid particles onto the moving web. The spreading apparatus includes a rotating disk having an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface is adapted to distribute the solid particles outwardly as the solid particles strike the upper surface of the rotating disk. The spreading apparatus further includes a baffle positioned about the rotating disk. The baffle includes a 1st diameter and a 2nd diameter wherein the 1st diameter is smaller than the 2nd diameter, and the 1st diameter is oriented perpendicular to the 1st direction in which the web moves and the 2nd diameter is oriented parallel to the 1st direction in which the web moves. The spreading apparatus also includes a feed assembly positioned above the rotating disk so as to provide a predetermined supply of the solid particles to the upper surface of the rotating disk.
