In an absorbent sheet manufacturing apparatus, a first roller (31) and a third roller (51) are rotated while each first concave portion (312) faces a convex portion (512), and therefore sheet concave portion rows (913) are formed on a first sheet member (91). The first sheet member (91) is transferred from a first roller-outer side surface (311) to a cylinder-outer side surface (211) of a supply cylinder (21), and a lower portion of the cylinder-outer side surface (211) is in contact with the first sheet member (91) while supply concave portions (212) supplied with particles face the sheet concave portion rows (913). Therefore, particles can be supplied accurately into each sheet concave portion (912) included in the sheet concave portion rows (913) and be held in the sheet concave portion (912) while the particles are practically prevented from scattering to the outside of the sheet concave portion (912).在吸收片製造裝置,藉由第1輥(31)及第3輥(51)一面使第1凹部(312)與凸部(512)相對向一面轉動,而將片材凹部列(913)形成於第1片材元件(91)。第1片材元件(91)從第1輥外側面(311)移至供給缸(21)的缸外側面(211),並一面使被供給粒子的複數個供給凹部(212)與片材凹部列(913)相對向,一面缸外側面(211)的下部與第1片材元件(91)接觸。藉此,可一面實質上防止粒子飛散至片材凹部(912)的外側,一面將粒子正確地供給至片材凹部列(913)的各片材凹部(912),並使其固持於各片材凹部(912)內。21‧‧‧供給缸23‧‧‧粒子填充部31‧‧‧第1輥33‧‧‧第1吸引部40‧‧‧片材接合部41‧‧‧第2輥43‧‧‧第2吸引部51‧‧‧第3輥61‧‧‧第4輥71‧‧‧片材搬運輥81‧‧‧鉗輥91‧‧‧第1片材元件92‧‧‧第2片材元件210‧‧‧粒子供給區域211‧‧‧缸外側面212‧‧‧供給凹部221‧‧‧第1蓋部222‧‧‧第2蓋部232‧‧‧粒子填充口301‧‧‧凹部形成部311‧‧‧第1輥外側面312‧‧‧第1凹部411‧‧‧第2輥外側面412‧‧‧第2凹部512‧‧‧凸部514‧‧‧加熱器611‧‧‧第4輥外側面614‧‧‧加熱器912‧‧‧片材凹部913‧‧‧片材凹部列R1~R4‧‧‧轉軸
