Apparatus for the production of elastic absorbent

An apparatus for the preparation of an elastic absorbent composed of a mixed web, said apparatus comprises

• two supply hoppers for separately supplying pulverized pulp and staple fibers of a synthetic fiber split yarn at a constant mixing ratio, each hopper having a pair of confronting moving belts for said supplying,
• two guide mechanisms each comprising at least two gear guides disposed below said hoppers for guiding and mixing the supply of the pulverized pulp and staple fibers, said gear guides in each of the guide mechanisms being arranged in series so that the two guide mechanisms confront each other and the distance between the confronting two guide mechanisms downwardly becomes narrower,
• a pair of nip rollers disposed below the guide mechanisms to compress the pulverized pulp and staple fibers.
• a garnet roll disposed below the pair of the nip rollers to disintegrate and mix the pulverized pulp and staple fibers, and
• a vacuum device disposed below the garnet roll with a mesh belt being interposed therebetween to pull the pulverized pulp and staple fiber mixture onto the mesh belt.
