Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Auftragen eines Beschichtungsmittels auf ein kontinuierlich bewegtes bahnförmiges Substrat, indem aus dem Beschichtungsmittel wenigstens eine Zwischenschicht gebildet, getrocknet und anschließend auf das Substrat übertragen wird.The invention relates to a method for applying a coating agent to a continuously moving web-shaped substrate by forming at least one intermediate layer from the coating agent, drying it and then transferring it to the substrate.
Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem eine Vorrichtung zum Auftragen eines Beschichtungsmittels auf ein kontinuierlich bewegtes bahnförmiges Substrat, mit wenigstens einer einen mit dem Substrat zusammenwirkenden Zwischenschichtträger umfassenden Zwischenbeschichtungseinheit und einer dieser zugeordneten Trocknungseinrichtung für das Beschichtungsmittel.The invention also relates to a device for applying a coating agent to a continuously moving web-shaped substrate, with at least one intermediate coating unit comprising an interlayer support interacting with the substrate and a drying device for the coating agent associated therewith.
Im Sinne der Erfindung sind unter einem "Beschichtungsmittel" Substanzen der unterschiedlichsten Art, wie zum Beispiel Klebstoffe, Farbstoffe und dergl. zu verstehen, während mit der Bezeichnung "Substrat" bahn- oder streifenförmige Schichtträger der unterschiedlichsten Art gemeint sind, wie zum Beispiel Krepp-Papiere, Wirkware oder Thermoplaste.For the purposes of the invention, a "coating agent" is to be understood to mean substances of the most varied types, such as adhesives, dyes and the like, while the term "substrate" means web-like or strip-shaped layer supports of the most varied types, such as crepe Papers, knitwear or thermoplastics.
Aus verschiedenen Gründen wird es als vorteilhaft erachtet, statt eine Direktbeschickung des Schichtträgers bzw. einer Substratbahn vorzunehmen, das Beschichtungsmittel zunächst auf einen Zwischenschichtträger, vorzugsweise in mehreren Teilschichten auf zahlreiche Zwischenschichtträger aufzutragen, und das bei der Trocknung dieser Teilschichten freiwerdende Lösungsmittel vor der Übertragung der Teilschichten auf die Substratbahn zurückzugewinnen. Als Trä gersubstanz für das Lösungsmittel dient in der Regel ein inertes Gas, wie Stickstoff.For various reasons, it is considered advantageous to apply the coating agent first to an interlayer support, preferably in several sublayers to numerous interlayer supports, and to remove the solvent released during the drying of these sublayers before transferring the sublayers, instead of directly loading the substrate or a substrate web to recover on the substrate web. An inert gas such as nitrogen is generally used as the carrier substance for the solvent.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Effizienz bzw. die Wirtschaftlichkeit einer derartigen Bahnbeschichtung zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to improve the efficiency or economy of such a web coating.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Zwischenschichtträger durch Zuführung von Wärmeenergie aufgeheizt wird und daß durch die Kontaktierung des vorgewärmten Zwischenschichtträgers mit dem Beschichtungsmittel dieses getrocknet wird. Auf diese Weise wird das Lösungsmittel durch die direkte Wärmeeinwirkung des Zwischenschichtträgers auf das Beschichtungsmittel ausgetrieben, was im weitesten Sinne mit Trocknung gemeint ist, wobei das Beschichtungsmittel selbstverständlich seine Übertragungsfähigkeit an das Substrat bzw. die dazu erforderliche Haftfähigkeit behält (z. B. ein Kleber).This object is achieved in that the interlayer is heated by supplying thermal energy and that the preheated interlayer is dried with the coating agent by contacting it. In this way, the solvent is expelled by the direct heat effect of the interlayer on the coating agent, which in the broadest sense means drying, whereby the coating agent naturally retains its transferability to the substrate or the required adhesion (e.g. an adhesive). .
Nach einem weiteren Vorschlag wird das auf dem Zwischenschichtträger aufgetragene Beschichtungsmittel der Wirkung eines strömenden Gases aufgesetzt, welches vorzugsweise ein Inertgas, wie Stickstoff, ist. Die Menge dieses Gases kann relativ geringgehalten werden, da die Trocknungsfunktion im wesentlichen durch die Wärmeenergie des Zwischenschichtträgers wahrgenommen wird und das Gas im wesentlichen nur als Trägersubstanz zum Abführen des aus dem Beschichtungsmittel ausgetriebenen Lösungsmittels dient.According to a further proposal, the coating agent applied to the interlayer support is applied to the effect of a flowing gas, which is preferably an inert gas, such as nitrogen. The amount of this gas can be kept relatively low, since the drying function is essentially performed by the thermal energy of the interlayer and the gas essentially serves only as a carrier substance for removing the solvent expelled from the coating agent.
Eine zunehmende Anreicherung des Gases mit dem Lösungsmittel wird gemäß einer zusätzlichen Maßnahme am besten dadurch erreicht, daß das Gas relativ zur Förderrichtung des Zwischenschichtträgers das Beschichtungsmittel im Gegenstrom bestreicht, wobei die Aufnahme des Lösungsmittels noch dadurch erleichtert wird, daß vorschlagsgemäß das Gas vortemperiert wird.An increasing enrichment of the gas with the solvent is best achieved according to an additional measure that the gas brushes the coating agent in countercurrent relative to the conveying direction of the interlayer support, the absorption of the solvent being made even easier by the fact that, according to the proposal, the gas is preheated.
Die mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren erzielte Effizienz kommt besonders bei einer Weiterbildung des Verfahrens zur Geltung, die darin besteht, daß die Gesamtstärke der auf dem Substrat zu bildenden Beschichtung durch Aufteilung des Beschichtungsmittels in dünnere Einzelbeschichtungen auf mehreren Zwischenschichtträgern und aufeinanderfolgende Übertragung der Einzelbeschichtungen auf das Substrat erzeugt wird, was nach einem weiteren Vorschlag die Möglichkeit gibt, daß jede Einzelbeschichtung von einer separaten Gasströmung beaufschlagt wird. Auf diese Weise kann die Trocknung der Einzelbeschichtungen entsprechend deren Anzahl in mehreren parallel übereinanderliegenden Feldern erfolgen, so daß unter Verzicht von Umluftsystemen und mehreren Temperaturzonen das Trocknungsaggregat insgesamt extrem kompakt ausgeführt werden und entsprechend energiearm arbeiten kann.The efficiency achieved with the method according to the invention is particularly important when the method is developed further Validity, which consists in the fact that the total thickness of the coating to be formed on the substrate is produced by dividing the coating agent into thinner individual coatings on several intermediate layer supports and successive transfer of the individual coatings to the substrate, which, according to a further proposal, gives the possibility that each individual coating of a separate gas flow is applied. In this way, the drying of the individual coatings can take place in a number of fields lying one above the other in accordance with their number, so that the drying unit as a whole can be made extremely compact and can operate with correspondingly low energy without the need for air circulation systems and several temperature zones.
Bei der Verfahrensweise zum Erzeugen einer Dickbeschichtung auf einem Substrat durch Bilden mehrerer Dünnbeschichtungen und Trocknen dieser Dünnbeschichtungen vor deren Übertragung auf das Substrat können die Effizienz und die Wirksamkeit bzw. eine vielseitige Einsetzbarkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens nach einem weiteren Vorschlag dadurch erheblich gesteigert werden, daß individuell bzw. unterschiedlich rezeptierte Dünnbeschichtungen gebildet werden, welche durch separate bzw. voneinander getrennte Gasströme beaufschlagt werden. Auf diese Weise können problemlos den unterschiedlichen Rezeptierungen angepaßte Lösungsmittel ohne Vermischung der einzelnen lösungsmittelbeladenen Gasströme zurückgewonnen werden. Diese Verfahrensweise erlaubt darüber hinaus eine Zusammensetzung der Dickbeschichtung auf dem Substrat aus mehreren verschieden rezeptierten Teilschichten mit unterschiedlichen technologischen Aufgaben und Eigenschaften. Es kann beispielsweise schichtweise gezielt eine bestimmte Eigenschaft aufgebaut werden, indem zum Beispiel bei Klebebeschichtungen nur die äußere bzw. oberste Schicht auf dem Endsubstrat die klebeaktivste ist, die Unterschichten hingegen inaktiver, d. h. kostengünstiger rezeptiert werden können.In the procedure for producing a thick coating on a substrate by forming a plurality of thin coatings and drying these thin coatings before transferring them to the substrate, the efficiency and effectiveness or versatility of the method according to the invention can be considerably increased according to a further proposal by individually or differently formulated thin coatings are formed, which are acted upon by separate or separate gas streams. In this way, solvents adapted to the different formulations can be recovered without mixing the individual solvent-laden gas streams. This procedure also allows the thick coating to be composed on the substrate from several differently formulated partial layers with different technological tasks and properties. For example, a specific property can be built up layer by layer, for example in the case of adhesive coatings only the outer or uppermost layer on the final substrate is most adhesive, the lower layers, on the other hand, can be formulated more inactive, that is, more cost-effectively.
Die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des eingangs genannten Verfahrens ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Trocknungseinrichtung Heizmittel zum Erwärmen des die aus dem Beschichtungsmittel gebildete Zwischenschicht tragenden Zwischenschichtträgers aufweist. Auf diese Weise wird das Lösungsmittel durch den unmittelbaren Kontakt des erwärmten Zwischenschichtträgers mit der Zwischenschicht aus dieser ausgetrieben, wobei der Zwischenschichtträger nach einem weiteren Vorschlag vorzugsweise als endlos umlaufendes Gurtband ausgebildet ist, welches sich für eine Beheizung besonders gut eignet.The device for carrying out the method mentioned at the outset is characterized in that the drying device has heating means for heating the intermediate layer support carrying the intermediate layer formed from the coating agent. In this way, the solvent is expelled from the latter by the direct contact of the heated intermediate layer support with the intermediate layer, the intermediate layer support preferably being designed as an endless belt webbing which is particularly well suited for heating.
Das üblicherweise als Trägersubstanz zum Abtransport des Lösungsmittels eingesetzte Inertgas braucht bei dieser Konzeption die Zwischenschicht nicht mehr deshalb zu erwärmen, um das Lösungsmittel auszutreiben sondern kann in seiner Funktion auf ein reines Träger- und Ableitungsgas reduziert werden. Damit kann aber auch die Durchsatzmenge dieses relativ teuren Gases, in der Regel Stickstoff, erheblich herabgesetzt werden. Das Inertgas wird gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung am besten dadurch zum Einsatz gebracht, daß dem die Zwischenschicht tragenden Trum des Gurtbandes ein unmittelbar benachbartes, gegenüber dem Gurtband offenes Gasleitungssystem für ein Inertgas zugeordnet ist.In this conception, the inert gas usually used as a carrier substance for the removal of the solvent no longer needs to be heated in order to drive off the solvent, but its function can be reduced to that of a pure carrier and discharge gas. However, this can also significantly reduce the throughput of this relatively expensive gas, usually nitrogen. According to an advantageous embodiment, the inert gas is best used by assigning an immediately adjacent gas line system for an inert gas to the strand of the belt webbing carrying the intermediate layer.
Die Aufnahmefähigkeit des Inertgases wird nach einer Weiterbildung dadurch optimiert, daß das Gasleitungssystem das Inertgas im Gesgenstrom zur Bewegungsrichtung des benachbarten Gurtbandtrums führen ausgebildet ist. Die mit der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung erzielten Vorteile kommen besonders bei einer Ausgestaltung zur Geltung, die darin besteht, daß mehrere parallel zueinander angeordnete, aufeinanderfolgend mit dem Substrat zusammenwirkende Zwischenbeschichtungseinheiten bzw. Zwischenschichtträger vorgesehen sind, wobei nach einem zusätzlichen Vorschlag jedem Zwischenschichtträger ein eigenes, separates Gasleitungssystem zugeordnet ist, so daß die Trocknung bezogen auf einen Zwischenbeschichtungsträger jeweils nur in einer einzigen Trockenkammer erfolgt, d. h. bei mehreren Teilbeschichtungen in mehreren parallel übereinanderliegenden Trockenkammern, die in Förderrichtung der Zwischenschichtträger keiner weiteren Unterteilung bedürfen.According to a further development, the absorption capacity of the inert gas is optimized in that the gas line system is designed to guide the inert gas in the Gesgesstrom to the direction of movement of the adjacent belt webbing. The advantages achieved with the design according to the invention are particularly evident in a configuration which consists in the fact that a plurality of mutually parallel, Intermediate coating units or interlayer supports interacting successively with the substrate are provided, whereby according to an additional proposal, each interlayer support is assigned its own separate gas pipe system, so that drying with respect to an interlayer support takes place only in a single drying chamber, i.e. in the case of several partial coatings in several in parallel drying chambers lying one above the other, which require no further subdivision in the conveying direction of the interlayer supports.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist das Gasleitungssystem eine das Gurtband übergreifende Strömungskammer auf, die am Gurtbandaustrittsende mit einem Gaseinlaß und am Gurtbandeintrittsende mit einem Gasauslaß versehen ist, so daß sich eine entgegen der Bewegungsrichtung des Gurtbandes einstellende tangentiale Gasströmung einstellt, welche sich zunehmend mit dem aus dem Beschichtungsmittel entweichenden Lösungsmittel anreichert.According to a preferred embodiment, the gas line system has a flow chamber spanning the webbing, which is provided with a gas inlet at the webbing outlet end and with a gas outlet at the webbing inlet end, so that a tangential gas flow which sets itself against the direction of movement of the webbing and which increases with that from the Enriching coating agent escaping solvent.
Bei der Beschichtung des Zwischenschichtträgers bzw. des Gurtbandes hat dieses in der Regel eine Temperatur von zum Beispiel 70 bis 90°. Um zu vermeiden, daß durch die dauernde Abgabe der Wärmeenergie aus dem Zwischenschichtträgermaterial in die Beschichtung während der gesamten Trokkenweglänge das Gurtband am Ende der Trocknung eine dadurch bedingte starke Temperaturabsenkung aufzuweisen hat, sind gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung die Heizmittel an der Unterseite des Gurtbandes vorgesehen, so daß das Gurtband von der Rückseite her in dem Maße beheizt wird, wie es Energie an die Beschichtung abgeben soll.When the interlayer carrier or the webbing is coated, this generally has a temperature of, for example, 70 to 90 °. In order to avoid that due to the continuous release of the thermal energy from the interlayer carrier material into the coating during the entire length of the drying path, the belt webbing has to show a significant drop in temperature at the end of drying, the heating means are provided on the underside of the webbing web, according to a further embodiment that the webbing is heated from the back to the extent that it is supposed to give energy to the coating.
Diese unter dem Zwischenschichtträger bzw. dem Gurtband liegende Beheizung könnte beispielsweise in Form von Kontaktplatten ausgebildet sein. Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß die Heizmittel als die Gurtbandunterseite bestrahlende Heizstäbe ausgebildet sind.This heating located under the interlayer support or the webbing could, for example, be in the form of contact plates. A preferred embodiment consists in that the heating means are designed as heating rods irradiating the underside of the webbing.
Gemäß einer alternativen Ausführungsform ist das Gurtband unmittelbar als Teil eines induktiven Heizmittels ausgebildet, wonach es nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung mit einem eine Sekundärwicklung bildenden Eisenkern versehen und durch eine mit einer Primärwicklung ausgestattete Induktionsspule hindurchgeführt ist.According to an alternative embodiment, the webbing is formed directly as part of an inductive heating means, after which it is provided with an iron core forming a secondary winding and is passed through an induction coil equipped with a primary winding.
Eine Optimierung bei der Beheizung des Zwischenschichtträgers bzw. beim Trocknungsvorgang des Beschichtungsmittels und Austreiben des Lösungsmittels wird nach einer Weiterbildung dadurch gewährleistet, daß die Heizmittel von Meßwerten eines Oberflächentemperaturfühlers des Gurtbandes steuerbar sind.An optimization in the heating of the intermediate layer support or in the drying process of the coating agent and expulsion of the solvent is ensured according to a further development in that the heating means can be controlled by measured values of a surface temperature sensor of the belt webbing.
Weitere die Effizienz und die Wirtschaftlichkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung begünstigende Vorteile ergeben sich bei mehreren, jeweils mit einer Dünnbeschichtung versehenen Zwischenschichtträgern zur Erzeugung einer abschließenden Dickbeschichtung auf dem Substrat gemäß einem weiteren Vorschlag dadurch, daß die Zwischenschichtträger individuell bzw. unterschiedlich rezeptierte Einzel- bzw. Dünnbeschichtungen aufnehmend ausgebildet und mit separaten bzw. voneinander getrennten Gasleitungssystemen versehen sind. Auf diese Weise können die den unterschiedlichen Rezeptierungen angepaßten Lösungsmittel ohne Gefahr einer Vermischung durch die separaten zugeordneten Gasleitungssysteme zurückgewonnen werden.Further advantages which favor the efficiency and the economy of the device according to the invention result from several intermediate layer supports each provided with a thin coating for producing a final thick coating on the substrate according to a further proposal in that the intermediate layer supports accepting individually or differently formulated individual or thin coatings trained and provided with separate or separate gas pipe systems. In this way, the solvents adapted to the different formulations can be recovered without the risk of mixing through the separately assigned gas line systems.
Weitere Anwendungsmöglichkeiten ergeben sich durch eine weitere Ausgestaltung, die darin besteht, daß die Zwischenschichtträger als Gurtbänder ausgebildet sind, welche die Zwischen- bzw. Dünnbeschichtungen unmittelbar aufnehmende Trägerschichten unterschiedlicher Adhäsions- und Dehäsionseigenschaften aufweisen.Further possible uses result from a further embodiment, which consists in the fact that the interlayer supports are designed as belt straps which have carrier layers which directly absorb the intermediate or thin coatings and have different adhesion and adhesion properties.
Der mit der Erfindung erzielte Vorteil besteht under Verzicht von Umluftsystemen und mehreren Temperaturzonen bezogen auf die Förderrichtung der Zwischenschichtträger in einer beträchtlichen Reduzierung des relativ teueren Inertgases sowie in einer extrem kompakten, energiearm arbeitenden Trockenkammer.The advantage achieved with the invention consists in dispensing with air circulation systems and several temperature zones in relation to the conveying direction of the interlayer supports in a considerable reduction in the relatively expensive inert gas and in an extremely compact, low-energy drying chamber.
