PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing an absorber hardly producing a hardened part in an absorbent core.SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing an absorber includes a step of forming an absorbent core 40 by accumulating a textile material 41 supplied in a scattering state, and a step of passing the formed absorbent core 40 between a pair of rollers 81 and 82 having a speed difference in a peripheral velocity. In the step of passing the absorbent core 40 between a pair of the rollers, the basis weight unevenness of the absorbent core 40 can be decreased by, for instance, passing the absorbent core 40 so as to bring the one roller 81 into direct contact with the surface of the absorbent core 40. It is preferable to add a shear force in the plane direction to the absorbent core 40 between a pair of rollers 91 and 92 while compressing the absorbent core 40 in the thickness direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】吸収性コアに硬化部分が生じさせにくい吸収体の製造方法を提供すること。【解決手段】本発明の吸収体の製造方法は、飛散状態で供給した繊維材料41を堆積させて吸収性コア40に形成する工程を具備し、形成した前記吸収性コア40を、周速に速度差を設けた一対のロール81,82間に通す工程を具備する。一対のロール間に通す前記工程においては、例えば、一方のロール81が該吸収性コア40の表面に直接接触するように通して、該吸収性コア40の坪量ムラを減少させることができる。また、一対のロール91,92間で、吸収性コア40を厚み方向に圧縮しつつ該吸収性コア40に平面方向の剪断力を加えることも好ましい。【選択図】図1
