A method and an apparatus for manufacturing disposable fluid-handling articles including absorbent articles (e.g., baby diapers, adult incontinence articles, feminine hygiene articles, baby swim diapers, dining bibs, wound dressing) and benefit-component-delivering articles (e.g., wash cloth, body wipes, body wraps, pet grooming articles, cleaning and polishing articles) are disclosed. The present invention can combine the web-forming technology with the web-converting technology into a continuous process for making a disposable fluid-handling article, wherein two or more of the components of the fluid-handling article are formed on the converting line from extruded polymeric materials. Thus, the new method and apparatus can reduce or eliminate the need for continuous webs of fabrics, films, foams, elastics, etc. that have been transported from web producers in a packaged form, e.g., wound rolls and festooned boxes. |
