A production line for manufacturing absorbent disposable articles, such as diapers, sanitary napkins and incontinence guards includes a conveyor path (3, 14, 15) which functions to move a web of material through the production line, and a row of devices (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13) which are ar

A production line for manufacturing absorbent disposable articles, such as diapers, sanitary napkins and incontinence guards includes a conveyor path (3, 14, 15) which functions to move a web of material through the production line, and a row of devices (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13) which are arranged sequentially in the direction of movement of the conveyor path and which function to perform different working operations in the manufacture of the absorbent articles. The working devices are carried by rectangular carrier plates (29, 34, 35, 39) which are fastened to vertical posts (17) which, in a framework (16), are placed on the same side of the conveyor path and sequentially in a direction parallel with the direction of conveyor path movement. The production line includes carrier plates (29, 34, 35, 39) of mutually different sizes, wherein the length of each side of a carrier plate is essentially a multiple of the length of the smallest side of the smallest carrier plate (34, 35).
