DCL/ch-B
METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF SHAPED PARTS
The invention relates to the manufacture of shaped parts made of particles containing lignocellulose and / or cellu-lose; the particles are at least essentially brought into fibrous form and the mat formed with the particles is brought into the shape of a mechanically stable board by the use of pressure and heat, and the desired, notably three-dimensional, end product is produced from such mechanically stable at least essentially hardened plate-shaped board con-tinuously and / or discontinuously in a further heated pressing step, using a comparatively substantially higher pressure. A veneer layer can also be applied on one or both sides of the board, either during the formation of the mat or during the further heated pressing step.

Description

DCL/ch-B

METHOD FOR T~E MANUFACTURE OF SHAPED PARTS

Field of the invention:

The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of shaped parts from particles containing lignocellulose and / or cellulose mixed with a heat curable binder, in which a mat is firstly formed on a support, this mat is brought under pressure and heat into the form of a board and is then transformed into tne stable end shape by a further pressing step taking place under pressure and heat.

Background of the invention:

From German patent 27 29 687 is known a method which serves for the manufacture o~ shaped workpiece blanks for seat shells, for cover plates having shaped portions and for simi-lar products, these blanks being made of particles contai-ning lignocellulose, notably chips, mixed with a thermo-plastic binder and formed into a mat, the particles having a humidity content lower than 9 ~ related to the dry ~eight, and the blanks being prepared by heating without pressure and then by compression under pressure and heat and by vapor separation or evaporation of the humidity. The vapor separa-tion of the humidity is in this case effected before the pressing step during the heating without pressure for a time period which is at least about twice to four times the dura-tion of the pressing step, and thus higher than the press time necessary for the manufacture of chipboards.

Although this method can be used when thermoplastic binders are employed, it results however only in the production of shaped workpiece blanks to be subsequently shaped, whereby the entire pressing procee prior to the subsequent shaping of the shaped workpiece blanks requires a longer time period than the pressing process for the manufacture of chipboards.

A method for the manufacture of doors, furniture doors or panel members is known from US patent 48 12 188, in which a plate which is only slightly prepressed is firstly prepared from wood fibers or wood chips with the use of a heat curab-le binder which is only partially activated, and this plate is covered with paper or veneer. In this case the binder between the plate and the paper or the veneer is also only partially activated, such that the structure formed by the plate covered with paper or veneered has a leather-like and correspondingly flexible structure. This intermediate pro-duct having a leather-like consistency is brought into the final shape during a subsequent pressing and heating step in a corresponding shaping press with a simultaneous densifica-tion of this intermediate product and curing of the binder.
In this case the plate, which is usable as a door, a furni-ture door or a panel member, can be provided with surface-chiefs, i. e. a shaped or structured surface.

Object of the invention:

The object of the invention is to further develop the method mentioned at the beginning such that plates which are alrea-dy mechanically stable and usable as rear walls for furni-ture, as door panels or as parts of floor or roof members for prefabricated housing can be transformed when required into shaped parts, notably three-dimensional parts, in a par-ticularly economical manner.

Summary of the invention:

This object is met according to the invention essentially in that particles containing lignocellulose and / or cellulose which have been brought into at least predominantly fibrous form and which can also be short and woolly are used, in that the web is brought, continuously and / or discontinuous-ly, by the use of pressure and heat into the form of a fiber board which is mechanically stable in itself, and in that the already mechanically stable and at least essentially hardened board is pressed continuously and / or disconti-nuously in a further heated pressing step, using a compara-tively substantially higher pressure, into the desired end shape, which is in particular a three dimensional end shape.

Owiny to the cooperation of these measures it is possible to manufacture, in an extremely surprising manner, shaped parts of high quality and stability, it being of particular signi-ficance from an economic viewpoint that boards which are practically already finished and therefore suitable for in-termediate storage as well as usable for other purposes can be used as a starting material for the shaping compression step.

Particularly advantageous developments of the method of the invention are set forth in the subordinate claims.

The temperatures and pressures used during the shaping com-pression step, which are unusually high in comparison to those used in normal board manufacture, make it possible, to manufacture shaped parts from practically already finished boards and not only from boards which represent intermediate products or blanks, boards with the manufacture of the shaped parts being of unexpected quality in all respects according to the surface quality, the mechanical stability and above all the multiplicity of possible shapes.

Detailed description of the invention:

In the following the principles of the method according to the invention will be explained in detail with reference to a specific embodiment.

The starting materials are chopped wooden chips which are broken up into fiber particles in a refiner, are then dried to a humidity content of 8 to 12 % and are mixed during the drying step with about 9 % of a mixture of urea resin and paraffin with reference to absolutely dried fibers par-ticles.

Thereafter a mat having an appropriate thickness or height is formed and passes in succession into a pre-compressor, an RF heating station and into the press gap of a press in accordance with the proven operating calender principle. As regards the technology of the machine reference is made here to the document "Holz als Roh- und Werkstoff" (Wood as Source and Work Material), January 1977, book 1, backside o~
the front page.

After a certain time the mat leaves the press gap of this press as a mechanically stable and hardened continuous board having a humidity content of 6 to 8 % and is divided without subsequent heat treatment into board formats of desired length. A technique usable to this end is described for example in East German patent 250 290.

The bulk density of the boards obtained with a thickness of for example 4 mm is in this case 620 kg/m3. This bulk densi-ty is higher than 600 kg/m3 and preferably lower than ' - 5 - h ~ç, 650 kg/m3.

Finally these plates are pressed continuously and / or dis-continuously in a further heated compression step with the use of a comparatively substantially higher pressure than in the first compression step into shaped parts, in particular three-dimensional parts, havin~ a thickness of 2,2 mm and a bulk density of about 1100 kg/m3. For the preheating and the pressing steps a total time of about one to two minutes is sufficient.

The pressure used during the final shaping ranges from 3 to 10 N/mm2 and the temperature is comprised in a range from 170~ C to 190 C.

Before the final shaping pressing step the mechanically stable boards can also be preheated during a predetermined time duration. This preheating can be carried out without pressure and preferably the duration of the preheating of the fiber board is about the same as the pressing time du-ring the final pressing step.

According to a further development of the method of the in-vention, during the pressing step which serves to the final shaping, the pressure is firstly briefly increased to a maxi-mal pressure and subsequently lowered to a significantly lower pressure. As an example the briefly applied high spe-cific pressure is about 100 bar and the reduced specific pressure applied thereafter is about 60 to 70 bar.

Further, as a binder for notably comparatively thin and com-mercially available fiber boards, the invention contemplates the use of urea resin or phenol resin or similar resins and the hardened resin proportion is selected to be in the range of about 9 to about 15 wt.-% of the source materials.

- 6 ~ V f The veneer layer can be applied on one side or on both sides of the boards or plates either during the formation of the mat or before the final pressing step taking place under pressure and heat.

The veneer web itself can be advantageously a plastic film, a paper web and notably a paper web impregnated with a deco-rative resin. It can also be made either of an at least essentially water pervious or water impervious material.

The provision of the veneer layer during the manufacturing steps of the board or plate is particularly advantageous, not only on an economical viewpoint but also because it per-mits to obtain any desired surface finishing including smooth surfaces/ water impervious surfaces and decorative paterns or designs.
