Abstract

Abstract A double injector is used for guidance and transport for the purpose of aftertreatment of freshly spun fibres in tow form by means of pipe washing. Said injector has the advantage that in a first step the tow is embedded at low pressure into the moving medium, and it is not until the second injector that the necessary amount of liquid under a higher pressure takes hold of the tow and moves it onwards. Fibre damage can be avoided in this way. (Fig. 1)

Description

1- 2~332~ ~
The invention relates to an apparatus for treat-ing tows with a liquid, the apparatu~ having a wash pipe and an in~ector, and to a proces~ for treating tows using such an apparatus.
5In order to completely remove impurities from fihres after spinning, it is necessary to sub~ect these fibres to an aftertreatment.
For thi~ purpose, the fibres may be cut and floated, and may be led as staple fi.bre web on screen 10bel~s through various bath sprinkling zones. In a gentler and more efficient variant of the aftertreatment, the continuous tow is guided through a closed pipe system through which an aftertreatment liquid is flushed. ~;~
By comparison with conven~ional aftertreatment, 15it is possible to bring the individual filaments after a short time into contact with large quantities of washing liqiuid, so that a good washout is effected. This sub-stantially higher ratio of washing liquid to fibre surface cannot be achieved with conventional screen belt 20and screen atertreatments.
Proce~ses of this type are described, for example in Swiss Patent Specification 273,357 and US Patent Specification 2,713,784. Special embodiments of the so- -called pipe wash, as described inter alia in 25"Chemiefasern nach dem Viskoseverfahren" (~'Synthetic fibres from the viscose process"), K. Goetze 3884/885 (1967), do without mechanical drawing-off aids, and flush the tow through the pipe system. In this case, injectors, which introduce the tow into the wash pipe and penetrate 30Lt and move it on with aftertreatment liquid, acquire an Lmportant ~ignificance.
In order to take up the fibre bundle in an appropriate fashion and to guarantee reliability of production, a ~et pressure of up to 3.0 bar is required 35at the injectors. In the case of ~ensitive fibres, for example fine fib~es or of those which contain modifying additives, such as carbon black, pigments or other inorganic particles, this ~hard ~et" causes fibre cracks.
In this zon~, fibre crack~ influence the further 2~332~

tr~atment, but also the product quality in a very negative fashion. As an example, mention may be made of the content of long fibres in the produc~lon of staple fibres: due to fibre cracks, tha fibres can no longer be S cut reliably, so that there are unde~irably long fibres in staple fibres which are to have besn cut to a specific length.
It is the ob~ect of the invention to overcome these disadvantages and to improve the apparatu~ of the type mentioned in the beginning so that a continuous tow can be introduced into a wash tube and floated there~
through, without causing fibre breaks or fibre cracks.
This ob~ect is achieved according ~o the invention in that the injector is constructed as a double in~ector consi~ting of an upper and a lower injector unit each having a hollow nozzle needle and a nozzle stock.
It is expedient if the internal diameter of the nozzle needle and of the nozzle stock in the upper and in the lower in~ector unit are each approxLmately the same, and if the internal dLameters of the lower in~ector unit are larger than the internal diameters of the upper injector unit. In this way, the lower injector unit has enough room for the tow to be surrounded by a suffici~
ently thick layer of liquid, and thereby protected.
Preferably, the ~et pressure of the upper and the jet pressure of ths lower in~ector unit are independently ad~ustable.
It is expediant if above each nozzle opening there i~ provided an annular chamber into which the feeds o~ movLng medium open.
When operating this apparatus it ~s expedient if the ~et pressure difference between the upper and lower ; in~ector unit is 0.5-2 bar, preferably approximately 1.0 bar, and if th2 ratio of the quantities of liquid that are supplied by the upper and lower injector unit lies between 1:1 and 1:5 and is preferably 1:3. It is possible to treat tows consisting of 6,000-5,000,000 individual filaments.

be explained in more detail with reference to the figures, wherein Fig. 1 shows a double injector and how it can be u3ed according to the invention in an apparatus for treating tows; Fig. 2 shows a mod:ification thereof;
and Fig. 3 show~ the pressure relationships in the in~ector according to Fig. 1.
The double injector consis~s of a stationary central part 1, whose upper part forms the nozzle stock of the upper in~ector unit 2 and whose lower part represents the nozzle needle of the lower injector unit 3. A tubular upper part that can be moved by screwing i9 provided as the nozzle needle for the upper injector unit 2. The nozzle opening 4 can be adjusted by moving the upper part up and down. This part is widened in the form of a funnel at the uppermost end in order to take up and guide the tow 6. The lower in~ector unit consists of a liXewise movable, tubular blower part, whose uppermost part forms the nozzle stock.
The nozzle opening 5 of the lower injector unit is formed in common with the statLonary central part, which is constructed a~ the nozzle needle. The feeds 7 and 8 of moving medium open laterally above the nozzle openings 4 and 5 into annular chambers 9 and 10, before the medium comes into contact under pressure with the tow through th~ nozzle opening. The shape of the annular chamber 9 and }0 is designed such that no lateral over-pressure is produced.
By means of the upper in~ector unit, it i~
possible for the fibre bundle to be drawn very gently into the double in~ector with a ~et pressure that is reduced with respect to the lower in~ector unit, and with a part of the total wash liquid. In this process, the fibre bundlo i~ embedded in the wash liquid and is supplied to the lower in~ector~
The lower in~ector can be operated with a jet pressure that is increased by up to 2 bar with respect to the upper in~ector, and in this proc~ss the remaining amount of wash liquid is supplied.
The high ~et pressure now no longer reaches the -individual fibres t since the latter are surroun~aQ~y t~e liquid supplied in the first injector, and are thereby protected. ;~
Consequently, the desired, reliable introduction of the fibre bundle into the individual wash zones can take place in a gentle fashion.
In a ~pecial embodiment of the double injector, the funnel-shaped part, which introduces the tow into the double injector, can ~ additionally itted with drawing-in aids.
An exemplary embodiment of this type i8 represented in Fig. 2. 11 represents the inlet of the flush liquid, which passes via the annular chamber 12 and the overflow channels 13 into the nozzle annular ch mher 14, and immediately after emerging from the annular gap 15 takes hold of the tow and floats it onwards.
Upon changing the type of fibre in the tow, the nozzle cross-sections can be varied by displacing the nozzle needles in the nozzle stock, and consequently the flow conditions can be optimized, so that fibre breaks are excluded.
EXAMPLE 1:
A continuous tow of HWM fibresl consisting of 530,000 filaments of 1.7 dtex each is drawn off at a speed of 25 m/min and introduced into a pipe washing system by means of a double in~ector.
The ~et pressure in the upper in~ector is 0.5 bar. 1,000 l/h acid~lated water are pumped through.
The ~et pressure in the lower injector is 1.5 bar. The amount of Liquid is 3,000 l~h.
Fig. 3 illu~trates the fl~w conditions in the individual sections of the double injector. For this ; purpose, the latter i~ repre~ented once again at ths side.

1 Note: these fibres ara also known as modal fibre~. They have a high wet modulus, i.e. they do not -tear even in the wet state.
