A method for feeding articles includes the steps of: feeding transversally, by a first conveyor, a succession of parallel rows of articles to a transfer area; moving longitudinally, using a second conveyor, a succession of rows of articles from the transfer area; sending at least one row of articles, coming from the first conveyor, to a storage unit whilst the row of articles is fed transversely, preferably perpendicularly, to the row; transferring the row of articles inside the storage unit, positioning the row of articles in a longitudinal direction at an outfeed section of the storage unit; extracting longitudinally portions in sequence of the row, portions formed preferably by one or more articles, from the storage unit and feeding the portions of row to the transfer area.

Method and device for feeding articles

Described are a machine and a method for forming containers from blanks, including a plurality of shaping hoppers, an endless conveyor which defines a feed path and on which the hoppers are mounted in succession and a plurality of pushing elements which are movable in such a way as to follow the respective shaping hoppers along at least a stretch of the feed path and which have a to-and-fro operating movement towards and away from the respective hopper along a direction transverse, preferably perpendicular, to the feed path. The machine also includes folding means disposed along the feed path downstream of the pushing elements and configured to produce, respectively, a top closure and/or a bottom closure of the tubular blank.

A method for manufacturing absorbent sanitary products, comprising the steps of: forming a first and a second continuous elastic band, which are movable parallel to each other in a machine direction, fixing a plurality of absorbent panels between said first and second continuous elastic bands, arranged in a direction transverse to the machine direction, and spaced apart in said machine direction, wherein each of said elastic bands is formed by means of a method comprising the steps of: continuously feeding a plurality of tensioned elastic threads () in said machine direction, continuously feeding a pair of non-elastic webs arranged on opposite sides of said plurality of elastic threads, welding said pair of non-elastic webs to each other by means of a welding pattern comprising anchoring welds and/or containing and guiding welds.

Method and apparatus for manufacturing absorbent sanitary products and an absorbent sanitary product

A method for producing an absorbent structure for absorbent sanitary articles, comprising the steps of: advancing a first non-woven layer at a first speed, with a first surface of said first non-woven layer facing a suction chamber, distributing superabsorbent granular material on a second surface of said first non-woven layer opposite to said first surface, volumizing said first non-woven layer by means of a toothed portion that penetrates into said first non-woven layer through said second surface and movable with respect to said first non-woven layer with a speed difference.

Method and apparatus for producing an absorbent structure

A composite tape comprising a first web and a second web welded together according to a welding pattern comprising a plurality of welding points arranged in arrays extending along a first direction and spaced apart in a second direction, perpendicular to said first direction, with adjacent arrays offset from each other in said first direction, and with said welding points in each array arranged in groups spaced apart in said first direction, wherein the first web has a plurality of hollow protrusions alternating with welding points, both in said first direction and in said second direction, and wherein the second web has a plurality of ribs extending along said first direction and separated from each other by said arrays of welding points.

Three-dimensional composite tape, method and apparatus for its production

Apparatus for forming transversal welds on a composite web material, comprising at least two superimposed sheets of material, suitable for use in the production of sanitary articles, comprising: a feeding unit including first and second feeding means configured to advance the composite web along a main straight direction X at a speed V. an ultrasonic welding unitarranged between the first and second feeding means, comprising at least one ultrasound source coupled to a sonotrode having a flat welding surface and an anvil unit having at least one anvil element movable along a closed path, which has a straight portion parallel to the main direction X.

An absorbent element for the absorption of body fluids in sanitary articles comprises a first layer of sheet material presenting an array of hollowed formations () with respective mouth parts, as well as masses () of superabsorbent material that is able to expand as a result of the absorption of body fluid, which are set in the aforesaid hollowed formations (). A second layer of sheet material () is applied on the first layer of sheet material () so as to cover the mouth parts of the hollowed formations (). At least one of the layers of sheet material () is permeable to body fluids to enable the body fluids themselves to penetrate into the hollowed formations and be absorbed by the masses of superabsorbent material () that expand in the hollowed formations (), creating a first level of absorption of body fluids. The second layer of sheet material () is compliant in an area corresponding to the mouth parts of the hollowed formations () and enables further expansion of said masses of superabsorbent material () beyond said hollowed formations () so as to create a second level of absorption of body fluids. The first layer () and the second layer () of sheet material are connected to one another by adhesive formations () that leave the mouth parts of the hollowed formations () at least partially free.
