Abstract: A liquid absorber includes a plurality of small parts each including a first layer containing fibers, a second layer containing fibers, and a third layer which contains a water absorbing resin and which is provided between the first layer and the second layer. When the water absorbing resin is measured in accordance with a plastic thermogravimetric measurement method defined by JIS K 7120: 1987 under measurement conditions in which a sample amount is 5 to 15 mg, a temperature increase rate is 10.0° C./min, and a measurement atmosphere is nitrogen, from a TG curve obtained thereby, the ratio of a weight decrease amount of the water absorbing resin at 400° C. with respect to an initial weight thereof is 0.050 to less than 0.500.

Abstract: A sheet manufacturing apparatus includes a defibrator configured to produce defibrated material, a feedstock supply unit, a monitoring device, and a cleaning device. The feedstock supply unit includes a conveyance device configured to convey feedstock, a storage device configured to accumulate the feedstock conveyed from the conveyance device and supply the feedstock to the defibrator, and a measuring device configured to measure a state of the feedstock accumulated on the storage device. The monitoring device is configured to predict stopping of conveyance of the feedstock by the feedstock supply unit and activate the cleaning device when a conveyance speed of the feedstock by the feedstock supply unit becomes slower than during normal operation. The cleaning device is configured to execute on at least one of the conveyance device and the storage device a cleaning process that preemptively prevents the stopping of conveyance.
