Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure A process for the production of a flowable mixture of rubbers and solid and liquid additives, wherein firstly particu-late rubber is mixed turbulently at temperatures of from 20 to 120°C with the solid additives for 0.5 to 2 minutes and subjec-ted to pulverisation, then the liquid additives are introduced in a period of from 0.1 to 3 minutes into the swirling mixture of rubber and solid additives and subsequently the components are mixed turbulently for up to a further 2 minutes.

Description

-: 10799~1 ,`-, The invention relates to the production o~ a flowable homogeneous mixture suitable for further processing of a rubber in powder or granular form, optionally a thermo-plastic in powder or granular form and solid and liquid additives, The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the process.
Processes for theproduction of powder mixtures are known but hitherto the production of ~lowable storage-stable rubber mixtures on a large scale by technically simple means has not been successful, The object of the invention is a process for the production of a flowable mixture of rubbers and solid and liquid additives whrein firstly particulate rubber intensively mixed with the solid additives under turbulence at tempera-.:
- 15 tures of 20 to 120C for 0.5 to 2 minute8 and subjected to ~ pulverisation (the additives accumulating on the surface of - the rubber particles), whereafter the liquid additives are in-~,. troduced over a period of from 0.1 to 3 minutes into the tur-bulent mixture of rubber and 801id additives (the pulveri~a-, . , ,, 20 tion being 8ubstantially terminated) and subsequently the mix-,.. .
ture i8 mixed under turbulent conditions for a further period of up to 2 minutes.
The term "particulate rubbers" as used herein i9 intended to mean elastomers, which are present with particle diameters of from l micron to lO mm, preferably O.l to 6 mm and in particular 0.5 to 2.5 mm. Materials which are particularly suitable are natural rubber and synthetic rubbers such as polybutadiene, polyisoprene, butadiene-styrene-copolymers, butadiene/alkylacrylate copolymers, butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers (nitrile rubber), Le A 16 685 - 1 -D~

10~9921 :
:
:
polychloroprene and ethylene propylene diene rubbers (EPDM-rubbers; the diene is generally not conjugated).
Also suitable (and included in the term rubber) are mixtures of elastomers and thermoplasts with a predomin-antly rubber character (in particular vulcanisable mixtures of this type), e.g. mixtures of polyvinylchloride and butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers.
Solid additives include all solids which are custom-arily added to rubbers for processing. (The quantities specified below are parts by weight per 100 parts by weight rubber). Examples include carbon black (2 - 200), light filling materials such as ehalk, silicates (5 - ~000), vulcanising agents and vulcanising auxiliaries (sulphur, zinc, oxide, accelerators) anti-ageing agents, anti-ozone agents, resins, processing auxiliaries.
- Liquid additives include in particular plasticiser oils and extending oils (5-170) and resins (5-20), e.g.
~ phenol resins which are mostly used dissolved in oil.
; The first stage of the process can be carried out at 20 - 120C. However temperatures of approximately 30 to 40C are preferred. This also applies to the second stage.
In the final stage, temperatures of 30 - 50C are preferably used. Turbulent mixing means that the solid substances are mixed dry, being kept in motion mechanically, so that they swirl up.
The mixtures obtained are flowable powders capable of storage having particle sizes of from 1 micron to 10 mm, preferably 0.1 to 6 mm, in particular 0.5 to 2.5 mm. They generally contain all the necessary components for the rubber processing and thus can be further processed immediately.
Le A 16 685 - 2 -The liquid additives can be added within from 0.1 to 3 minutes continuously or with one or more interruption-~. Continuous addition is recommended i~or small quantities; interrupted addition for large ~uantities. It is important that the liquid additives - 5 should be injected into the rotating material i~unnel.
According to the invention, there is also provided an appa-ratus for the production of a flowable homogeneous mixture i~rom particulate rubber and solid and liquid additives, comprising a vessel having cylindrical side walls and a convex bottom and sealable by means of a lid, a rotatable drive shaft extending -~ substantially along the axis of the vessel having mounted thereona bottom scraper having a profile corresponding to the bottom of the vessel, on which drive sha~t is mounted at least one impact cutter and an impeller suction cutter and a guide plate mounted on the lid of the vessel 30 as to extend into the mixture in the vessel when in use.
Encrustations on the container inner wall and on the mixing - tool are avoided if during the mixing and pulverisation the fil-ling material is maintained at the specii~ied temperature. This can be achieved by adjusting the rotational ~peed of the mixing - tool.
Also of importance for encrustations at the container inner wall is the temperature of the layer of the material ad~acent the wall 80 that heating or cooling the outer walls oi~ the vessel can be desirable.

~ carrying out the process according to the '~' invention.
Figure 5 and 6 show an embodiment of the apparatus with the material flow indicated.
Figure 1 shows that the rubber particles 1 are still . relatively large and no additive has accumulated at their " ~i ~ surface.
,:~
- Figure 2 shows that the rubber particles 1 have been pulverised by the internal and external forces occurring during mixing and solid additives have accumulated at their .
surface.
~ Figure 3 shows that the rubber particles 1 have sub-; stantially maintained their size but are more rounded in shape and the accumulations have grown larger.
The apparatus shown in Figure 4 consists of a cylin-drical vessel 2 having a lid 3. The bottom 3 of the vessel
2 has a curved shape. In the centre of the container 2 a . .
floor scraper 4 is provided which is mounted on a rotatably supported drive shaft 5. On the drive shaft 5 continuing upwards above the floor scraper 4 there i9 arranged at least one impact cutter 6, which effects the pulverisation Or the rubber particles and the solid additives. Above the impact cutter 6 on the same shaft 5 there is mounted an impeller ~uction cutter 7. The impeller suction cutter 7 ; 25 is an inward inclined ring which is connected to the drive axis by cross-pieces. The impeller suction cutter 7 guides the material swirling in the container inwards and at the same time sucks in air so that it provides for the vertical movement of the filling material. The cutter 7 - 30 and the floor-scraper simultaneously induce a horizontal movement. Altogether, the particles thus move on helical Le A 16 685 _ 4 _ 10799Z~
'`' paths through the container, The path of the particles is also influenced by the guide plate 8 fitted to the contain-er lid 3, of which the angle of pitch and depth of descent are adjustable. The drive is provided by an electric motor 9 of which therotational speed is controllable.
, V-belts 10 are the power transmission element. An outlet pipe 11 is located in the lower region of the container 2 through which the finished mixture is removed from the con-, tainer 2 by pneumatic means 12.
Examples.
General procedure ~,...
An apparatus according to Figure 4 is used with a volume of 100 1. 10 kg of particulate rubber is introduced into the apparatus together with solid additives. After closing the lid, the floor-clearer/cutter combination i~
set in rotation and brought as quickly as possible to 1500 rpm. After 2 minutes the liquid additives are added within a period of from 0.1 to 1 minute (depending on , quantity) and after a further 2 minutes the finished mixture is removed.
