In the production of diapers, feminine hygiene products, and incontinence solutions, operational efficiency is crucial to delivering high-quality products at competitive costs. One key factor in achieving this efficiency is the optimal management of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) distribution and the effective design of liquid channels within the product.

SAP distribution and liquid management

SAP is responsible for absorbing and retaining liquids in hygiene products. Poor SAP distribution can lead to issues such as gel blocking, where saturated SAP forms a barrier that prevents liquid from reaching other absorbent areas still capable of absorption. This results in leakage and inefficient material use.

Integrating well-designed liquid channels within the absorbent core allows fluid to distribute evenly, reaching all SAP zones. This ensures that the entire core is utilized effectively, reducing the required SAP amount while improving overall product performance.

SAP distribution technologies: rotative vs. drum

SAP distribution technologies play a decisive role in the quality of the final product. Traditional drum-based distribution methods have limitations in precision and uniformity. In contrast, rotative SAP distribution technologies offer greater accuracy and flexibility, ensuring a more even and controlled material placement.

Benefits of adopting advanced technologies

• Cost reduction – More efficient use of SAP and raw materials leads to lower production costs.
• Improved product performance – Better liquid management minimizes leakage risks and increases customer satisfaction.
• Market competitiveness – High-quality products at reduced costs strengthen a company’s competitive position.

Implementing advanced SAP distribution and liquid channeling technologies provides several advantages:
