Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/013737
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A production apparatus (10) which includes a rotating drum (20) having a die (21) formed therein and in which, when the die (21) passes through the position of a duct (31), the drum (20) draws a gas (3) through suction holes formed in the bottom of the die (21), whereby liquid-absorbing fibers (2) contained in the gas (3) are stacked in the die (21) to mold an absorbent (1). A first wall part (43) has been disposed outside the duct (31) so as to leave a first space (S1) between the wall part (43) and a wall part (33) of the duct (31) and to leave a second space (S2) between the wall part (43) and the peripheral surface (20a) of the rotating drum (20). With the first wall part (43), a flow of outside air in a direction crossing the peripheral surface (20a) of the rotating drum (20) and a flow of outside air along the peripheral surface (20a) are formed in the gap (G) between the peripheral surface (20a) and the opening (31a) of the duct (31).
