The apparatus for producing absorbents is provided with a duct (4) that supplies absorbent starting material carried on an air stream, and a vacuum-depositing part (22) that deposits said absorbent starting material by suction, and is configured so that after depositing the absorbent starting material on the vacuum-depositing part (22) while advancing the vacuum-depositing part (22) in one direction, the deposited product is released from the vacuum-depositing part (22). The vacuum-depositing part (22) is divided into multiple recesses (221-227), the bottoms of which are provided with a suction region obtained from a porous material, and has high density deposit regions where absorbent starting material is deposited to a high density and low density deposit regions where the absorbent starting material is deposited to a lower density than the high density deposit regions. For the recesses (221, 222, 224-227) disposed in the low density deposit regions, the ratio of the area of the suction region with respect to the area of the opening is smaller than the ratio of the area of the suction region (223e) with respect to the area of the opening (223d) for recesses disposed in the high density deposit regions (223).一種吸收體之製造裝置,其係包含隨著氣流而供給吸收體原料之導管(4)、及吸引該吸收體原料並使其堆積之吸引堆積部(22),且一面使吸引堆積部(22)朝一方向行進一面使吸收體原料堆積於吸引堆積部(22)之後,使堆積物自吸引堆積部(22)脫模者,且吸引堆積部(22)被劃分為於底部具有包含多孔性材料之吸引部之複數個凹部(221~227),並且具有使吸收體原料堆積成高基重之高基重堆積區域、及使吸收體原料堆積成基重低於高基重堆積區域之低基重堆積區域,位於低基重堆積區域之凹部(221、222、224~227)中吸引部之面積相對於開口部之面積的比率,小於位於高基重堆積區域(223)之凹部中吸引部(223e)之面積相對於開口部(223d)之面積的比率。21...旋轉筒之外周面22...吸引堆積部26...多孔性板28A...分隔構件221~223...凹部221e、222e、223e...吸引部222a...前壁222b...後壁221d、222d、223d...開口部L1...線L3、L4...尺寸R2...方向θ1...傾斜角度
