Technical background
Since F.H Banbury has invented the Ben Baili banbury so far, mixer mixing progressively becomes the main and common mode in the modern calendering process.Initial banbury production line, generally by one at a slow speed banbury join a mill and form, after mixer mixing is finished sizing material is discharged in the mill and cools off, add sulphur and replenish mixing, this compounding process is called one section mixing method, whole mixing process is once finished on the banbury production line, the centre does not have the compressing tablet cooling and the parking period of sizing material, and this method only is applicable to that generally compound viscosity sizing material lower, that the prescription loading is less is mixing.Present banbury production line, generally join one and extrude tablet press machine or two two roll-in sheet machines are formed by a high speed banbury, the rotating speed of banbury is generally 20/40r/min, 30/45r/min or higher rotating speed, and capacity is 270 liters, 370 liters or bigger capacity.Along with the raising of rotating speed, pressure and the capacity of banbury, shear action increases, and the sizing material temperature rises sooner, usually the sizing material dust dispersion quality does not also reach requirement, and temperature has risen to the limit, reaches 160~170 ℃, so can only finish mixingly, sizing material is discharged to down carry out the cooling press sheet on the subsidiary engine.For this reason, obtain the good elastomeric compound of quality requirement, the sizing material mixing process will be finished several times.What at first carry out is slightly mixing, normally use high speed banbury (more than the 40r/min) high pressure mixing, the sizing material that makes contains the compounding ingredient except that sulphur and promoter, it is so-called carbonblack master batch, big or packing strengthening agent consumption more for a long time when the sizing material Mooney viscosity, sizing material is after the compressing tablet cooling and parking, also must second, third time in addition the 4th input banbury to carry out two sections, three sections even four sections mixing, could obtain required Mooney viscosity and decentralization, this stage is called the milling maternal rubber stage.Carbonblack master batch has obtained required Mooney viscosity and decentralization, after the compressing tablet cooling and parking, dropping at a slow speed again, banbury (20r/min or 30r/min) carries out mixing, add sulphur and promoter, at last elastomeric compound is discharged to compressing tablet cooling on the tablet press machine, finally finish whole mixture operations of sizing material, this stage is called the whole refining stage.This compounding process is commonly referred to as two sections mixing methods, the just present topmost mixing technical method of banbury production line.For tire industry, present most sizing compound formula all is to adopt this mixing technical method.
For one section mixing method, its advantage is exactly that sizing material management is more convenient, saves the bin aging area, and that its shortcoming is exactly a mixing cycle is longer, and it is inhomogeneous that sizing material disperses, the difficult control of dump temperature, and it is big to be not suitable for the mixing formula loading, the sizing material that compound viscosity is higher.With respect to one section mixing method, the advantage of two sections mixing methods is exactly that production efficiency is greatly improved, and can be fit to the sizing material of mixing various viscosity prescriptions, and by adopting automatic weighing, the operating environment sanitary condition has also obtained very big improvement.But meanwhile, because sizing material quick heating, heat radiation is slow, fillers dispersed difficulty under hot conditions, and the sizing material dust dispersion quality also has been subjected to influence, the mixing needs of sizing material are divided into two sections or multistage is mixing carries out in addition, the intermediate demand storage period, institute is so that to workshop bin aging area with manually all need to increase, sizing material is managed also difficult relatively, therefore production efficiency also be subjected to certain limitation, and energy consumption is also bigger.
Summarize existing mixer mixing technology, raising along with mixer mixing speed, supporting with it following subsidiary engine is also wanted corresponding raising the efficiency, so just make the main effect of subsidiary engine down only be left the effect of cooling compressing tablet, and shear to disperse and to replenish mixing effect just very little, briefly be exactly that banbury is sheared dispersion, following subsidiary engine cooling compressing tablet.If under the condition of existing mixer mixing speed, by strengthening the melting effect of subsidiary engine under the banbury, mixing to finish sizing material mixing by only needing one section, descends subsidiary engine need satisfy following requirement so:
1,160~170 ℃ sizing material temperature to be reduced to 100~110 ℃ of temperature, so that add sulphur or add promoter;
2, to bigger additional mixing effect be arranged to sizing material, to obtain required Mooney viscosity and the dust dispersion quality of sizing material;
3, add the dispersion that to finish behind the sulphur sulphur;
4, before the scattered back of sulphur sizing material sent sheet extruder, the decentralization of sizing material will reach quality requirement.
Therefore, strengthening subsidiary engine shearing dispersion down, replenishing mixing effect is to improve banbury production line sizing material quality, saves energy consumption, the important channel that cuts down finished cost.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the weak point of existing mixer mixing method, provide a kind of shearing of strengthening subsidiary engine under the banbury to disperse and mixing effect, make sizing material mixing at a kind of compounding process of strengthening subsidiary engine under the banbury of finishing of property once on the banbury production line.
