Absorbent body production device and absorbent body production method

Abstract

An absorbent body production device and an absorbent body production method can suppress scattering of an absorbing substance during spraying of the absorbing substance to a substrate. A substrate is conveyed along a rotating outer circumferential surface of a conveyance drum. A granular absorbing substance is discharged from a spray port of a spray apparatus facing the outer circumferential surface of the conveyance drum, and the absorbing substance is sprayed to the substrate which is conveyed along the outer circumferential surface of the conveyance drum. The spray position at which the absorbing substance is sprayed to the substrate is controlled. For example, the position of the spray port of the spray apparatus, or the angle at which the absorbing substance is discharged from the spray port of the spray apparatus is controlled.
