A method and an apparatus for manufacturing, in a continuous flow, face protection masks including a mask body and two U-shaped elastic thread portions, which are formed by bending respective elastic thread portions retained by a group of sectors including a fixed sector and two movable sectors rotatable with respect to the fixed sector.

Method and apparatus for producing face protection masks

A method for producing absorbent sanitary articles having a central body, first and second side panels extending laterally outwardly of the central body, and at least one extension band having a distal edge to which at least one closing element is fixed.

Method for producing absorbent sanitary articles with side panels

A reel-holder unit for transporting reels of web material in a production plant, including a frame having two frame sections separated and spaced apart in order to leave a free passage space between the two frame sections, where the frame sections comprise respective reel support bars arranged so as to carry a plurality of reels with their respective axes aligned with each other along a common horizontal axis.

Reel-holder unit and apparatus for preparing edges of reels of web material including this reel-holder unit

A method and apparatus for preparing edges of reels of web material, where a reel is held with its axis horizontal; a manipulator applies a first adhesive element on an outer surface of the reel; a gripping member picks up the first adhesive element and forms a loop; and a cutting device transversely cuts the web material at the loop. A section of web material with a length equal to or greater than a circumference of the reel is unwound from the reel; a second adhesive element is applied on an outer surface or on an inner surface of the web material; and a scrap portion of the web material is cut and discarded by a suction device.

Method and apparatus for preparing edges of reels of web material

An apparatus for manufacturing absorbent cores for absorbent sanitary articles, comprising: a rotating forming wheel including a plurality of forming elements defining a peripheral surface of the forming wheel, a forming chamber containing absorbent material facing a portion of the peripheral surface of the forming wheel, a first roller for feeding a first nonwoven web onto the peripheral surface of the forming wheel upstream of the forming chamber, a second roller for feeding a second nonwoven web onto the peripheral surface of the forming wheel downstream of the forming chamber, wherein each of said forming elements comprises a suction surface connected to a suction source and at least one protruding rib having a blowing surface selectively connected to a stationary blowing device, wherein said at least one blowing surface and said suction surface are spaced apart from each other in a radial direction.

Apparatus and method for manufacturing absorbent cores

An apparatus for varying the pitch between moving articles, comprising: a stationary structure having a suction volume, a plurality of transport elements rotatable independently from each other about an axis and having respective gripping surfaces provided with suction holes, a rotary distributor rotatable about said axis independently of said transport elements, wherein the rotary distributor has a plurality of intake ducts having first openings selectively connected to said suction volume and second openings located on an interface surface of said rotary distributor, a plurality of rigid connection elements that establish a pneumatic connection between respective transport elements and said rotary distributor, wherein said rigid connection elements are fixed with respect to respective transport elements and have respective sliding surfaces in sliding contact with said interface surface.
