A system and a method for providing feedback control of the deposition of superabsorbent particles into an absorbent core at a specified rate are disclosed herein. A control system, such as a programmable logic control device, is used to receive feedback related to the operation of one or more elements of a vibratory feeder. Based on the feedback, the control system adjusts one or more elements of the vibratory feeder to synchronize the operation of the elements of the vibratory feeder. Particularly, the control system can be adapted to synchronize the deposition rate of superabsorbent particles into the absorbent core with the line speed of the absorbent core during ramp-up and ramp-down periods. Based on a predetermined line speed response during the ramp-up or ramp-down period, the control system can control one or more properties of the vibratory motion of a vibrator of the vibratory feeder in such a manner that the deposition rate of superabsorbent particles is proportional to the line-speed of the fibrous material being supplied so that a substantially uniform concentration of superabsorbent materials are deposited in the absorbent core during the ramp-up and ramp-down periods.
