摘要 |
The present invention relates to an arrangement for manufacturing spunlace material, comprising a forming station (1) and an entangling station (2), wherein the forming station includes a first fibre former (6) for air-laying staple fibres, and a second fibre former (7) for air-laying short fibres on an underlying forming wire (8), on which the air-laid fibres are retained with the aid of a subpressure created in a suction box (15) positioned beneath the forming wire and with the aid of which the formed mat of fibres is transported to the entangling station (2). According to the invention, at least one screening element (16) is arranged beneath the fibre former (7) for short fibres such as to screen-off the subpressure and therewith create one or more regions on the forming wire on which no short fibres will be laid when the forming wire passes the fibre former (7) for short fibres. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing spunlace material and to an absorbent, disposable article which includes such spunlace material. |
