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 25):
The machine according to  claim 16 , wherein the transversal partition is movably connected to the diffuser element so that its position can be adjusted towards and/or away from the sliding plane as a function of a flow quantity of the particulate material and/or of the predetermined width of the outfeed portion of the diffuser element.
