1. A dual skid assembled absorbent article converter comprising:
a first skid comprising:
a plurality of modular unit operations, each modular unit operation of said plurality of modular unit operations being capable of at least partially modifying a substrate, said plurality of modular unit operations collectively modifying said substrate to form said absorbent article; a second skid comprising:
at least one modular unit operation enabling device for cooperative association with a respective modular unit operation of said plurality of modular unit operations disposed within said first skid, said at least one modular unit operation enabling device being selected from the group consisting of power feeds, controls, information systems, vacuum, pneumatics, combinations thereof, and the like, said at least one modular unit operation enabling device being placed in a fixed position relative to said second skid; wherein said second skid is at least partially disposed in contacting engagement with said first skid; and, wherein said at least one modular unit operation enabling device disposed within said second skid is in cooperative communication through said first and second skids with said respective modular unit operation of said plurality of modular unit operations disposed within said first skid. |
