A method of manufacturing a liquid receptacle comprises applying an adhesive to the inner surface 10 of a liquid receptacle 1 and dispensing a liquid absorbent material 24 from an applicator 12 onto the liquid receptacle 1 while moving the receptacle. The dispensed liquid absorbing material is applied across a selected region of the inner surface 12 and in particular to the region to which the adhesive is applied. Movement may be controlled so that the absorbing material 24 is applied in a layer having a single granule depth. The applicator 12 may comprise a rotating shaft 16 which acquires absorbent material onto its surface and dispenses it in a downwardly moving curtain. The applicator may be arranged to dispense the liquid absorbing material in a row, and the receptacle may be moved in a direction orthogonal to the length of the row. A conveyor 26 may move the receptacle. Preferably the receptacle 1 is formed from a pulp fibre material and the liquid absorbing material is a granular super absorbent polymer. The disposable receptacle may be a bedpan or urinal. |
