Definitions

• An essential component of commercially available cleaners for use in machine cleaning processes - for example in the known dishwashers used in the household - are to date generally sodium metasilicate mixed with sodium tripolyphosphate (also called pentasodium triphosphate and hereinafter referred to as STP).
• STP sodium tripolyphosphate
• soda and water glass as well as further components for strengthening the granulating and cleaning effect are used as further components.
• the mixtures of substances exist as free-flowing agglomerates. whereby a number of requirements are placed on the product properties.
• the substance mixtures are generally strongly alkaline and therefore irritating to the respiratory tract. Accordingly, the occurrence of dust in the product, as would be expected when using powdered raw materials, must be avoided. Furthermore, products of this type with high fines in the dishwasher's washing-in box tend to clump when water enters, so that a sufficiently short washing-in time is no longer guaranteed.
• the bulk density should be above 900 g / l to enable the product quantity required for the cleaning cycle to be filled into the dispenser box without problems. Since the free-flowing agglomerates contain water, it must be ensured when processing the recipe that the water remains largely crystalline in order to prevent caking of the granules during storage.
• Today's commercial cleaners are manufactured according to two process variants, namely either by mixing granulation or by mixing granular dust-free raw materials.
• the mixed granulation in the presence of water has a number of difficulties which require careful control of the process.
• various components of the mixture of substances in particular STP, anhydrous metasilicate and soda
• STP sulfur trioxide
• anhydrous metasilicate and soda compete for the binding of the available free water.
• the thermodynamically most stable composition may only be achieved when the raw material properties are not constant or the process conditions are not exactly adhered to when the products are stored.
• the migration of the water required for this is generally accompanied by a clumping of the product.
• the formulation flexibility of the mixed granulation process is also relatively low, and in particular in a very specific direction:
• the use of soda and water glass as a granulation aid is necessary without these components making a significant contribution to the effectiveness of the cleaning formulation.
• the invention is based on the task of using granular detergent formulation with good flowability, good washability and good storage stability using inexpensive raw materials while reducing the disadvantages of water-wet mixed granulation.
• the invention also intends to use finely crystalline zeolite NaA in addition to or instead of STP and to use other components, for. B. of cleaning boosters - enable.
• the solution to the problem according to the invention was found by using a preferably continuous compression of a pulverulent premix of the desired constituents in the nip of a pair of two oppositely running press rolls with subsequent comminution of the resulting plate-shaped compacted material.
• the invention relates in a first embodiment to a process for the production of granular, free-flowing alkaline cleaning agents based on sodium metasilicate in intimate admixture with STP and / or finely crystalline zeolite NaA as reinforcing builders and, if desired, further auxiliaries for improved granulation and / or Cleaning action by means of a mixing process, in which the starting components of the substance mixture are mixed together in powder form, this substance mixture is compacted in the nip under increased pressure and the resulting compactate is crushed to the desired grain size with the proviso that the total water is added as bound water from the outset during the mixing .
• the invention relates to granular, in particular free-flowing, alkaline cleaning agents of the type mentioned, which have been produced by the process described here.
• the material to be granulated is passed under pressure through the gap of a pair of two rollers running in opposite directions at approximately the same peripheral speed, and is compressed into a plate-shaped material to be pressed.
• This plate-like or band-shaped pressed material which is also referred to as "Schülpenband”
• Schommpenband is then subjected to a comminution process and thereby granulated material of the desired grain size and grain distribution is obtained.
• the comminution of the plate or band-shaped material can be done in a mill.
• the comminuted material is then expediently fed to a screening process. Material which is too coarse is separated off and returned to the comminution device, while material which is too fine is added to the batch of the powdery material to be mixed and again fed to the compacting in the roll gap.
• the roller compression can take place without or with a pre-compression of the premixed powdery material.
• the pair of rollers can be arranged in any spatial direction, in particular thus vertically or horizontally to one another.
• the powdery material is then either by gravity filling or by means of a suitable device, for. B. fed to the nip by means of a stuffing screw.
• the press pressure in the nip and the dwell time of the material in the area of the press pressure are to be set so high that a well-formed, hard, high-density band is produced.
• the high degree of compaction is to be striven for in order to set the desired bulk weights of the free-flowing material ultimately obtained, which should be above 900 g / l.
• the abrasion stability of the granules is also influenced by the degree of compaction; high degrees of compaction lead to abrasion-stable granules, which in turn are desirable.
• excessive pressures impair the process reliability, since when used the material is plasticized on the rollers and leads to sticking. This undesirable effect occurs when an increase in the pressing pressure no longer causes further compression of the material and the additional force that is now added predominantly causes the heating and plasticization of the material - for example, by partial melting of water-containing components, in particular water-containing metasilicate.
• the optimum pressing force to be used depends on the recipe. Usually, according to the invention, a specific pressing force in the range from about 15 to 30 kN / cm roller length is used in the nip, the range from about 20 to 25 kN / cm roller length being particularly preferred.
• the solid densities set in the compactate are preferably at least about 1.7 g / cm 3. Corresponding solid densities of at least about 1.8 to over 2 g / cm 3 are particularly suitable.
• the optimal density value to be set depends to a certain extent on the recipe.
• the ability of the granules to be flushed in - determined as the flushing time of a predetermined amount of material in a test apparatus - is favored by higher compression pressures and thus by higher solids densities and not deteriorated.
• fillings made of harder particles tend to clump less and also form fewer fines during the flushing-in process, so that an unimpeded flow of water through the fill is promoted here.
• the setting of the thickness of the plate-like or band-shaped compact is important in order to achieve the desired high bulk densities of the finally granulated free-flowing cleaning agents. If the selected bowl thickness is significantly smaller than the desired upper grain limit of the granulated product to be produced, platelet-shaped particles are obtained during the comminution of the initially obtained plate-shaped compactate, which lead to fillings with a high void volume and therefore a comparatively low bulk density. At higher compactate thicknesses, however, particles are obtained in the subsequent comminution, the dimensions of which can approximate the desired ratio of 1: 1: 1.
• Such a grain shape leads to denser fillings, the void volume of which is a maximum of about 50%. Although this value is still relatively high in comparison to fillings made from spherical particles - the usual corresponding values are around 35 to 45% - however, a slightly higher void volume can also bring advantages in the sense of the inventive action. This clearly favors the flushing process in the sense of an unimpeded flow of water through the fill.
• the chip granulate obtained in the process according to the invention after the pulp belt has been comminuted can be deformed even further.
• the primary one Splinter granules are subjected to a surface abrasion of corners and edges and thus in particular the bulk density of the granular material is increased again or the empty space volume is reduced accordingly.
• the primary granulate can be rolled on rotating disks which have a corrugation on their upper side. If necessary, an undesirable fine fraction is then separated off again and again fed to the compacting in the roll gap.
• the desired upper grain limit in the finished free-flowing agglomerate is in the range of about 1.6 to 2 mm, while fine fractions below about 0.2 mm are undesirable.
• the preferred free-flowing agglomerates accordingly show a broad grain size range in the range from about 0.2 to 2 mm.
• the void volume should not make up significantly more than about 50%, but can be less than 50%.
• the layer thickness here is preferably at least about 2 mm. Layer thicknesses of the compactate in the range of approximately 4 to 8 mm and in particular in the range of approximately 5 to 6 mm can be particularly preferred.

• additives such as soda and / or water glass or cleaning-enhancing additives can be present in a mixture.
• Metasilicate is generally present in amounts from 20 to 75% by weight and preferably from about 35 to 65% by weight of the total mixture. Amounts of metasilicate in the range from about 40 to 60% by weight can be particularly suitable.
• the metasilicate can be used in the powdered feed material as an anhydrous product and / or in the form of hydrated phases with certain predetermined and / or varying amounts of hydrated water contents. Suitable metasilicate phases containing water of hydration are known to be corresponding products with 5 or 9 water of crystallization, with particular importance being attached to the corresponding metasilicate with 5 water of crystallization.
• Anhydrous metasilicate (KO) and metasilicate containing water of crystallization, in particular a corresponding product with 5 water of crystallization (K5), can be used in preferred embodiments of the invention in the feed material in mixing ratios of 5: 1 to 1: 5 and in particular in mixing ratios of 3: 1 to 1: 3 .

H. in the absence of zeolite NaA - find use, but it is also possible to replace the STP portion in any mixing ratio by using fine crystalline zeolite NaA - in particular corresponding detergent quality material - in one embodiment of the invention the complete replacement of STP provided by NaA zeolite.
