Abstract (en)

The apparatus (3) is used for transferring a nonwoven web (W) between an upstream unit (1), such as for example a conveyor belt, and a downstream unit (2) , such as for example a thermal bonding unit. The apparatus comprises a rotating and air permeable cylinder (30), and air suction means (31) for creating a suction force through the cylinder in order to make a nonwowen web adhere against the surface of a first portion (P1) of the cylinder. The air suction means (31) further comprise a stationary internal channel (310) that is mounted inside the cylinder (30) and extends between the said first portion (P1) and a second portion (P2) of the cylinder, and a suction hood (311) that is mounted outside the cylinder (30) and in the vicinity of the said second portion (P2).
