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 17):
The machine according to  claim 16 , wherein the dosing and depositing station comprises a further apparatus for distributing a further particulate material and equipped with its own diffuser element, where the diffuser elements of the distribution apparatus and of the further distribution apparatus have outfeed portions which at least partly face distinct zones of the first web in order to differentiate the absorption capacity of the absorbent sanitary article.
