Abstract
An apparatus for manufacturing an absorbent body includes: a suction member for moving a suction section along a predetermined travel path; a cover member surrounding a predetermined range of the travel path; and a supply opening through which liquid absorbent particles fall. The supply opening is provided above the travel path in a space within the cover member. Of the space within the cover member, a space located in a downstream side of a position of the supply opening in a direction along the travel path is divided into a first zone in which the liquid absorbent particle is suctioned to the suction section and a second zone in which the liquid absorbent particle is suctioned to the suction section, the second zone being adjacent to a downstream side of the first zone.
