Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for producing a substrate are described. A method and apparatus for introducing a component into a fluid supply is also presented. A method can include providing a first fluid supply. The fluid supply can be configured as a foam in some embodiments. The method can also include providing a component feed system and a supply of the component. The method can include introducing the component to a fluid supply in an eductor in some aspects. A resultant slurry including a fluid supply and the component can be transferred through a headbox. The resultant slurry can be dewatered to provide a substrate including the component.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for drying web substrates are described. In one embodiment, a method of drying a web substrate may comprise supplying air to a first dryer head located proximate a web conveyer, the air within the first dryer head having a temperature of less than 176 degrees C., directing air from the first dryer head toward the web conveyer at a velocity greater than 1000 m/min and forming a first drying region, and advancing the web substrate in a first direction on the web conveyer and through the first drying region.

Abstract: Absorbent substrates including a high percentage of superabsorbent material and method of manufacturing such absorbent substrates are disclosed. An absorbent substrate can include an intake layer including a first plurality of fibers and an absorbent layer. The absorbent layer can include superabsorbent material providing greater than 80% of the absorbent layer by total weight of the absorbent layer. The intake layer and the absorbent layer can provide an integrated material including an interface between the intake and absorbent layers. The interface can include at least some of the first plurality of fibers of the intake layer mixed with at least some of the absorbent layer.
