Definitions
- This invention relates to an apparatus for producing a fibrous mat. While the invention is particularly concerned with the production of relatively thick bonded mats of fibrous glass, it is also applicable to forming thin felted structures and mats composed of other fibers both natural and synthetic, or a combination of various fibers.
- An outstanding characteristic which this invention contributes to the products thereof is thorough and uniform integration, derived from the fine and efi'ective distribu tion of the binder particles through the body of fibers.
- This feature is of high value in many forms of blankets and boards for heat and sound insulation, cushioning, padding and filtering.
- the range of specific uses for the products include roofing insulation; duct lining; insulating automobiles, trucks, trailers, and railroad cars; mattresses; and blanketing of concrete during curing.
- the practice of the invention has been found highly useful in producting bonded mats from a blend of re processed fibrous glass including strands originally intended for textile processing and trimmings and rejected material from various fibrous glass mat forming operations.
- the main object of this invention is to provide an apparatus for producing an improved bonded fibrous mat.
- a further object is a method and apparatus for refiberizing fibrous bodies and forming a mat therefrom, and economically and efficiently dispersing binder particles among the fibers of the mat.
- an object of the invention is to produce an air-borne stream of fibers from fibrous material and to introduce into the stream of fibers finely atomized air-borne binder particles in a liquid carrier.
- Another object of the invention is to form a wide, smooth surfaced, fibrous mat of uniform thickness and density.
- a still further object is to effectively and uniformly combine a mixture of different fibrous components in a fibrous mat after first fiberizing such components.
- the fibrous glass strands are removed from the cylindrical holders on which they are originally packaged for textile use by splitting the body of strands with a knife.
- the bulk strands are then fed through a chopper and cut to an average length of one and one-half inches. If the water size ordinarily applied to textile strands has not dried, heat is then applied to the chopped strands.
- the chopped strands are subsequently delivered at a weight controlled rate to a raw material conveyor by a picker feeder.
- a similar picker feeder adds a weight controlled proportion of the admix of waste fibrous glass mat material to the cut strands on the conveyor.
- the mat material may in one instance constitute thirty percent of the full batch.
- the combined components are mixed and further shredded by being passed through a picker from which the batch is delivered through an air duct to the feeder of a garnett machine.
- the toothed cylinders and worker rolls of this machine separate, straighten and arrange the fibers uniformly in a loose progressing web.
- This web is disintegrated in being discharged through a guiding spout from the garnett machine in an air stream and the fibers are air borne as a spreading cloud.
- the fibers with the binder particles intermixed therewith fall within the chamber through gravitation and as influenced by a downward air draft drawn down through the foraminous conveyor, and settle on the conveyor which is traveling in line with the discharge path of the fibers.
- the fibers with the binder particles precipitated thereon accumulate in a low density pack in a thickness depending upon various factors including the speed of the conveyor and which is generally established in a range between six and eight inches.
- the pack is carried into a curing oven between conveyor flights which compress the pack to the thickness desired in the final mat product which is usually between one and three inches. With the pack so compressed the binder is cured to permanently establish the flexibility, thickness and density of the product.
- the mat On leaving the oven the mat is cut lengthwise into desired widths and the edges trimmed.
- the action of a cross chopping knife determines the length of the individual mats which are then rolled up on a mandrel for storage, further processing or shipment.
- the apparatus of this invention while generally following the outlined procedure involve considerable variations therefrom and is mainly concerned with improved apparatus associated with the entry and reception of the fibers and binder particles in the forming chambers. Accordingly, the following description and the accompanying drawings are directed largely to this stage in the formation of such bonded mats.
- FIG. 1 of the drawings the outlet end of a garnet machine and the entering end of an associated forming hood are shown in side elevation;
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of the apparatus of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged side elevation largely in section of the fiber discharging portion of the garnet machine of FIGS. 1 and 2., as viewed from the opposite side thereof;
- FIG. 4 is a side'elevation on a reduced scale of the outlet end of the garnet machine and the main section of the forming hood;
- FIG. 5 is a planview of the apparatus of FIG. 4,
- the outlet end of the garnet machine 11 is supported upon a base 10.
- a low speed doffer cylinder 12 removes the web of worked fibers from the first main cylinder (not illustrated) of the garnet machine.
- the garnet machine here utilized forms a web six feet in width.
- the small stripper roll 16 cooperates in the transfer of the web from the dolfer cylinder 12 to the final high speed main cylinder 14, while relatively slow worker roll 17 combs the fibers of the web before the web is propelled from the cylinder 14 into the path of the air blast from the elongated common outlet 19 of adjacent air spouts 18.
- the cylinder 14 is thirty inches in diameter and is driven at an r.p.m. of 1100. The web is accordingly carried by this cylinder at a linear speed of about 8600 feet per minute.
- FIG. 3 there is an open area 23 above a top portion of the cylinder 14 into which the web of fibers is thrust.
- the web in disintegrated form then travels through the guiding spout 20.
- the top wall 21' of the spout may be positioned to establish the desired height of the air channel therethrough.
- a'small two inch roller 24 is mounted adjacent thereto. This may be forcibly rotated as indicated by the arrow thereon at a speed for instance of 100 r.p.m. However, freely mounted it has been found to rotate under the action of the air stream thereover and to thus satisfactorily fulfill its function.
- the guiding spout 20 is preferably composed of Lucite, an acrylic plastic produced by the E. I. du Pont Company or of other electrical insulating material. Because of electrical charges apparently accumulated on the glass fibers during their travel through the garnet machine the fibers have been found to collect on metal walls of such a spout. The insulating character of Lucite overcomes this attraction and surfaces thereof remain clean of fibers.
- the guiding spout 20 in the present embodiment is dimensioned to provide an air passage therethrough approximately two inches high, s'nr feet wide and two feet long. The air in an estimated volume of forty-five hundred cubic feet per minute flows through spout 20 at a velocity of forty-five hundred feet per minute.
- the air borne stream of fibers is directed into the expanding spout 27 which is also composed of TLucite for reduction of electrostatic attraction. A considerable volume of additional air is drawn therein from the spacing between the spouts.
- Upper and lower louvres 29 and 30 at the outlet of the spout 27 are set to constrict and direct the air borne stream of fibers in a path found most effective in propelling the fibers into the forming hood 34.
- the passage through the expanding spout 27 is six inches high, six and one half feet wide, and four feet long.
- the larger cross sectional area of spout 27 permits the volume of air to be greatly expanded by induction with some decrease in the velocity of the air stream as projected from spout 20.
- the binder through each nozzle is reduced to an amount that may be thoroughly and finely atomized.
- this provides very uniform and effective dispersion of the binder particles among the fibers.
- the small size of the particles in combination with the volume of air into which they are projected effects rapid evaporation of the liquid vehicle or carrier of the basic binder material. So little moisture (in case the vehicle in water) is retained on the deposited particles that no heat for drying is required prior to the final setting of the binder.
- the fine atomization of the binder solution results in the binder particles averaging only ten microns in diameter with very few reaching a diameter of one hundred microns.
- a preferred binder composition is a ten percent phenol formaldehyde water solution with the resin in A state of polymerization. This may be introduced by the atomizing nozzles at a rate supplying a residual binder component of fifteen percent of the total weight of the final mat product. Under a comparatively high production schedule approximately six ounces of the water suspension of binder per minute is then atomized by each nozzle. However, more or less binder may be utilized according to the degree of stiffness and integrity desired in the final product. Many other binder materials of natural or synthetic origin may of course be utilized in place of the specific presently preferred resin.
- the high volume of air including that directly from spout 27 and that induced into immediate joinder therewith adjacent the outlet of spout 27 probably exceeds twenty thousand cubic feet of air per minute. Dispersed evenly through this mass of air, constituting approximately only part of volume to three hundred thousand parts of air are the glass fibers, mostly as individual fibers in spaced relation, but also in small clumps rarely containing as many as fifty fibers.
- the dispersion however, of the fibers and tiny binder droplets in the air is so thorough that each cubic inch of air will usually contain about twenty five or more fibers and roughly two hundred droplets of binder. Eventual contact and adhesive of binder particles to substantially all of the fibers is thus assured. No appreciable number of clumps of the fibers are of such a size to prevent an effective deposit of binder therethrough even though the power of moist binder particles to penetrate into fiber clumps is very limited.
- the fibers 32 with the intermingled particles of binder are drawn down upon the nine foot wide conveyor 36 by the chamber 38 by suitable air blowers into the common air plenum 54.
- dampers 37 in the air ducts the air suction may be varied along the chamber 38.
- Air fiow into the forming hood 34 is derived from the air from spouts 18 greatly augmented by air projected from the peripheral surface of cylinder 14, extra air induced into the second guiding spout 27, to a minor extent from the atomizing air from nozzles 40, and majorly from air entering the open face of the forming hood. Additional air moves into the forming hood through open ings 58 in the ceiling panel 59 of the forming hood and through openings 55 above side panels 56 of the hood.
- top panels 60 and side panels 62 Further sections of the forming hood are closed by top panels 60 and side panels 62.
- This added air while slowing and somewhat expanding the fiber movement helps bring the fibers and binder particles down upon the conveyor as such added air moves downwardly in response to the air suction.
- This suction of air into the chamber 38 below the conveyor is at such negative pressure and in sufiicient volume to rapidly draw the main mass of fibers down upon the first portion of the conveyor surface.
- the closed sides of the hood along the borders of the fiber stream as well as the suction at the edges of the conveyor spreads the deposit of fibers and binder particles across the conveyor.
- the air passes down through the screen conveyor which in effect thus filters the fibers from the air.
- the fibers in turn serve as a filtering body for the binder particles intermingled therewith.
- the thirty foot long forming hood 34 extends four feet above the surface of the conveyor 36 and is approximately as wide as the nine foot width of the conveyor.
- the openings 57 and 58 in the fore part of the top of the forming hood are five fee long and three feet wide while the openings 55 above the side panels 56 are ten feet long and one foot wide.
- the top and sides of the hood are otherwise closed up to the discharge end of the hood.
- the mat of fibers and binder particles is transported through a curing oven of conventional design.
- the mat is there compressed to the desired thickness (unlikely to exceed three inches) and density (as high as ten pounds per cubic foot but usually below three pounds) between opposed flights of upper and lower converys while air heated to 350 F. is driven through the foraminous conveyor flights and the compressed mat to cure the binder particles and thus integrate and set the mat in the selected thickness and density.
- edge trimmers After being thus cured that mat moves through edge trimmers, longitudinal slitters, and cross cutting devices to form units of desired widths and lengths.
- a mat eight feet wide remains after the edge trimming operation and is slit in half to form four foot rolls wound on stocking mandrels.
- the edge trimmings are salvaged and added to the raw material to be subsequently processed.
- the final products have unusual integrity and homogeneous characteristics. While dilferent proportions of the binder may be utilized depending upon the degree of strength and rigidity required, because of its original liquid nature and its even distribution a minimum amount is effective and is highly economical. This superior performance is especially valuable where a mixture of fibers of different lengths and sizes is involved as in the processing with which this invention is particularly concerned.
- the principal features which contribute to the success of this invention include the spout means for directing and expanding the high velocity air borne stream of fibers, the discharge of the fibers through an open area before they enter the forming hood, the projection of atomized liquid binder upon opposite sides of the planar stream of fibers in the open area, the metered supply of the binder to a high number of closely arranged nozzles, and the controlled air flow into the open face of the hood and through openings in the sides and top thereof down through the foraminous conveyor.
