AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Inherent inaccuracies in each known device lead to inaccuracies when attempting to align (etc.) their respective fluids
Indeed, known devices are often incapable of precisely aligning fluid with other fluid or product features such as embossing or sealing areas because of the inability to control fluid flow and application, as well as other factors within each device
[0004] In addition, manufacturers face higher production costs and resources because they cannot control different fluids separately in one printing unit

[0055] definition

[0056] As used herein, the "aspect ratio" of a shape refers to the length of the longest dimension or diameter of the shape in any direction (intersecting the midpoint of the shape) to the shortest dimension or diameter of the shape in any direction The ratio of the length (intersecting the shape's midpoint).

[0057] As used herein, "vascular network" refers to a network of channels that carry fluid from an inlet, such as an inlet, to one or more outlets. A channel includes one or more aortas, one or more capillaries, and / or one or more subcapillaries. In a vascular network, each channel may be in fluid communication with another channel. Generally, the inlet can be located on or near the aorta, and the aorta can be in direct fluid communication with the capillary (ie, without an intermediate channel). Likewise, the capillary can be in direct fluid communication with the aorta, another capillary, and / or subcapillary, and / or a fluid outlet (all of whic...

Abstract

A system for dosing one or more fluids on a substrate, the system comprising a rotating roll (10). The rotating roll has a central longitudinal axis (12), wherein the rotating roll rotates about the central longitudinal axis; an exterior surface (14) defining an interior region (16) and substantially surrounding the central longitudinal axis (12); and a vascular network (18) configured for transporting the one or more fluids in a predetermined path from the interior region to the exterior surface of the rotating roll (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for depositing one or more fluids onto a substrate. More specifically, the present invention relates to apparatus and methods for dosing fluids onto moving substrates. Background technique [0002] Manufacturers of consumer products often apply absorbents in solid form to their products. To date, manufacturers have relied most heavily on the use of tumblers and vacuums to deliver solid absorbents to products. Heretofore, absorbent precursors in a fluid state have not been processed in a manner that allows precise delivery to substrates in a controlled manner according to shear, while having precise fluid flow control. Manufacturers may use moving rolls with primary axial fluid flow and / or primary circumferential fluid flow, which results in uneven fluid distribution and lack of fluid contacting parts of the roll. Furthermore, such designs limit the number and size of fluidic channels that can be...
