An absorbent core for absorbent articles such as diapers comprising a core wrap comprising a top side and a bottom side, an absorbent material between the top side and the bottom side of the core wrap, a first and second longitudinally-extending channel-forming areas disposed on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis and substantially free of absorbent material preferably through which the top side of the core wrap is preferably attached to the bottom side of the core wrap. The core has a central absorbent zone between the first and the second channel-forming areas and a first and second lateral absorbent zones disposed laterally outwardly. The basis weight of the absorbent material in the central absorbent zone is higher than the basis weight of the absorbent material in each of the lateral absorbent zones for at least a first transversal section (S1). This relation is inverted along a second transversal section (S2) of the core. The first and second sections have each a length in the longitudinal direction of at least 10 mm.

The invention provides a multilayer-structure absorbent core for a disposable absorbent article, and a method for preparing the absorbent core, wherein the absorbent core is compacted and formed by each layer; its surface presents a grid-shaped groove; the depth at the intersection point of the grid-shaped groove is bigger than that at the non-intersection point thereof. The invention adopts a new synchronous split-level process; that is, a linear grid-shaped trapezoid-shaped compaction mechanism, of which the height is smaller than that of a circular-platform structure, incompletely compacts the absorbent core and separates the absorbent core into numerous small convex spaces, while a circular-platform structure carries out the dot-shaped compaction for the absorbent core. Under the conditions that the liquid-absorption functions of a deflector layer and a reservoir layer are maintained, the movement of polymer water-absorption material is completely limited while the strength of a core body is enhanced. The invention adjusts the structure of the core body and a process of preparing it, thus facilitating the improved multilayer structure to have more liquid-absorption amount, faster liquid-absorption speed and increased strength.

The invention relates to a method and a device for making absorbent cores used in disposable hygiene pads, the method or device comprising three steps: (A) suctioning of wood pulp fibers mixed with super absorbent polymers into a net structure on a base tissue to form an absorbent core; (B) compressing and embossing absorbent material; and (C) shaping of the absorbent core. The method of the current invention can be used for making different kinds of absorbent pad products. While increasing the tear strength of the product, the method realizes and simplifies the process of making both the absorbent material and the hygiene pad utilizing the absorbent material on the same manufacturing line, and reduces the cost of making the absorbent pads. The absorbent core made by applying the method of the current invention has a new structure formed by super absorbent polymers and wood pulp fibers, wherein the structure enables the super absorbent polymers to be evenly distributed in between the wood pulp fibers. Through the compressing and embossing process, the super absorbent polymers are prevented from sliding or piling together in the absorbent core, which increases the liquid-absorbing capacity of the hygiene pad products.
