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.
