An apparatus and method for producing an elastomeric nonwoven laminate including
a plurality of elastic strands joined to a nonwoven web in a controlled distribution
is provided. The apparatus includes an extruder for extruding a plurality of elastic
strands onto a cooled surface of a rotating drum, which transports the strands
in parallel alignment to a nip formed between two rollers rotating about parallel
axis. The drum transfers the plurality of strands to the nip in a controlled distribution
where it is bonded with the nonwoven.
