  • Publication number: 20170129730
    Abstract: A delivery device for feeding planar material webs, for example airlaids, wetlaids, non-wovens, or films/foils, to a processing installation is proposed, said delivery device having a splicing unit and a multiple-web unwinding device. The splicing unit is configured for connecting a fibrous-web end of a preceding individual fibrous web to a fibrous-web lead of a subsequent individual fibrous web, so as to in this way feed a non-interrupted fibrous web to the processing installation. The splicing unit is moreover configured for processing airlaid fibrous webs that are wound on winding cores and are thus made up as roll goods. The multiple-web unwinding device has at least two winding-core mounts that are capable of being loaded in a mutually independent manner.

  • Patent number: 9408942
    Abstract: The invention relates to an absorbent structure having a sequence of layers, comprising at least one first and one second outer layer and at least one liquid storage layer arranged therebetween, wherein the layers are arranged on top of each other and form a layer structure, wherein at least the liquid storage layer comprises a cellulose material, preferably cellulose fibers, and a super-absorbent polymer SAP, preferably SAP particles and/or SAP fibers, wherein the liquid storage layer comprises at least less, preferably no, binder than liquid-storing layers of the absorbent structure adjacent to the liquid storage layer. The absorbent structure has particularly high flexibility in the wet and the dry state. It can preferably be used in disposable items. The invention further relates to a method for producing the absorbent structure and to a device for producing same.

  • Patent number: 9333483
    Abstract: An absorbent structure with a sequence of two layers includes at least one liquid absorption layer, a subsequent liquid storage layer with super absorbent polymer particles and super absorbent polymer fibers, and a subsequent liquid distribution layer. The layers are connected and form a sheet structure. The liquid storage layer has its super absorbent polymer extending from the liquid storage layer into the liquid distribution layer in order to generate a return suction effect for the liquid that has passed through the liquid absorption layer and liquid storage layer into the liquid distribution layer.

  • Publication number: 20120101460
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fibrous porous fluid absorbent material comprising a nonwoven, in particular made by an Airlaid process and comprising fibers at least 50% of said fibers being cellulosic fibers. The fibrous porous fluid absorbent material comprises a core wherein said fibers of said core are non-connected or only partially connected and crosslinked with each other and at least one perforated surface layer having a perforation. The fibers of the surface layer are connected to each other and the flexural rigidity of said fibrous porous fluid absorbent material measured according to EDANA Standard Test Method 90.5 is reduced by at least 20%, preferably by at least 30%, more preferably by at least 40%, most preferably by at least 50%, compared to a corresponding non perforated fibrous porous fluid absorbent material comprising a core and a non perforated surface layer.
