A DEVICE FOR MANUFACTURING ABSORBENT ARTICLES.

摘要

The invention relates to a device (11) for the manufacture of an absorbent product comprising a rotatable slitting tool (1) having an extent in a radial direction and an extent in an axial direction perpendicular to the radial direction. The slitting tool (1) comprises a cutting part (2) comprising a plurality of cutting edges (3) having a first radius (R) and present between the cutting edges intermediate parts (4) situated at a smaller distance (r) from the axial centre line of the slitting tool (1) than the cutting edges (3). The invention is characterized in that the device (11) comprises a force-absorbing means (15) so arranged as to absorb forces from an abutment roller (16) at least when the intermediate parts (4) in the slitting tool (1) pass the abutment roller (16).
