PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide absorber production equipment in which absorptive material can be stably supplied to a recessed part for accumulation.SOLUTION: Absorber production equipment 1 includes: a rotary drum 2 having a recessed part for accumulation 22 on the peripheral surface 2f thereof； and a duct 3 covering a part of the peripheral surface 2f and supplying absorptive material to the peripheral surface 2f in a scattered condition. The rotary drum 2 includes an annular side part area 26 between the recessed part for accumulation 22 and side edges 24 as end surfaces on both sides of the rotary drum when seen along its axial direction. The side part area 26 includes a large-diameter region 27, and a small-diameter region 28 adjacent thereto. The duct 3 includes a pair of side plates 33 disposed along a rotation direction R of the rotary drum 2, and the edge part of each of the side plates 33 extends along the peripheral surface of the rotary drum 2. The edge parts of the side plates 33 are located in the small-diameter region 28 when seen along an axial direction Y of the rotary drum and are located between the peripheral surface of the small-diameter region 28 and the peripheral surface of the large-diameter region 27 when seen along a radial direction X of the rotary drum 2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】集積用凹部に吸収性材料を安定して供給することができる吸収体の製造装置を提供すること。【解決手段】吸収体の製造装置１は、集積用凹部２２を周面に有する回転ドラム２と、該周面２ｆの一部を覆い且つ該周面２ｆに向けて吸収性材料を飛散状態で供給するダクト３とを有している。回転ドラム２は、その軸方向に沿って見たとき、集積用凹部２２と該回転ドラムの両側の端面である側縁２４との間に、環状の側部域２６を有し、側部域２６は、大径領域２７と、これに隣接した小径領域２８とを有している。ダクト３は、回転ドラム２の回転方向Ｒに沿って配置された一対の側板３３を有し、各側板３３の端部は回転ドラム２の周面に沿って延在している。側板３３の端部は、回転ドラムの軸方向Ｙに沿って見たときに小径領域２８に位置し且つ回転ドラム２の径方向Ｘに沿って見たときに小径領域２８の周面と大径領域２７の周面との間に位置している。【選択図】図３
