Abstract:
A machine for making sanitary articles including an impermeable outer layer and an absorbent pad superposed thereon, the machine including a feed line feeding the outer web and a unit forming the absorbent pad. The forming unit includes a first feeder feeding a first web along an operating direction, a second feeder feeding a second web, a coupling station coupling the first web to the second web, a dosing/depositing station located upstream of the coupling station where a distributed quantity of absorbent material is placed on the first web. The dosing/depositing station includes an apparatus for distributing particulate material with a tank containing particulate material, a feed mechanism feeding the material and a downstream distribution mechanism receiving the material to distribute the material on a drum or conveyor. The distribution mechanism includes a diffuser and a vibrating device to shake the diffuser.

Claim (Index 21):
The machine according to  claim 19 , wherein the suction means are of a size such as to produce at each cavity, a negative pressure such that the particulate material interposed between two adjacent cavities is transported into the respective pockets, defining on the first web zones which are free of the particulate material and which can be joined to the second web.
