Definitions
- the invention relates to a new technology suitable for a continuous tape cleaning system metallic to provide the required surface cleanliness by subsequent coating treatments of such bands. It covers both a cleaning process and on an installation for this purpose.
- a degreasing installation is usually consists of an immersion or sprinkler tunnel low pressure (to allow physico-chemical action of the solution), a brushing machine (exerting the action mechanical) and an electro-chemical degreasing cell low density.
- GB-A-2 143 254 (SMS SCHLOEMANN-SIEMAG) describes a treatment at more than 60 bar on a surface using nozzles. It is technically undesirable to work at such pressures due to equipment (pumps) to be put into service and the operating conditions according to the present invention are not carried out.
- the document AU-A-413 792 (BONAR) essentially describes a device for cleaning sheets but does not has no parametric indication to execute this cleaning operation under economic conditions and advantageous techniques envisaged by the present invention.
- the present invention essentially aims to avoid the drawbacks inherent in the known solutions proposed according to the state of the art. It is particularly aimed at provide technology capable of providing mechanical action decisive (effective and repetitive and not subject efficiency drifts) going hand in hand with action physico-chemical provided by contact with a solution generally basic treatment.
- a method of cleaning of metal strips, in particular of strips of steel comprising the treatment of the sheet by an action spraying at high pressure and thereby spraying with great impact of degreasing solutions on the surface sheet metal.
- Head distance values from sheet metal projection from 30 to 200 mm proved particularly effective. Note that the greater the distance is low, the more spray heads will be required to cover the same area and therefore a limit material due to congestion is quickly reached.
- the lower pressure limit indicated is that necessary to obtain a good efficiency of the treatment.
- the upper pressure limit is essentially conditioned by economic reasons involving the use of simpler technical means, namely centrifugal type pumps, without having to use positive displacement pumps which would become necessary if higher pressures were considered.
- the invention is based on the fact that have to separate the modes of action from the projection of solutions, of the mechanical action itself which is performed using the brushing machine, depending on the condition of the technical.
- centrifugal pumps which is recommended according to the invention, makes it possible to reconcile pressures relatively high with high flow rates resulting in increased process efficiency.
- Impact effect values of the order of 100 to 5000 and preferably 150 to 500 g / cm 2 have been found necessary.
- the solution recommended by the invention allows avoid the cost and empiricism of operating cylinders brushers. We also avoid disturbances caused by brush fragments resulting from the wear of the brushes.
- An installation suitable for implementation of the technique of the invention consists of an unwinder of sheet 1, an electrolytic installation or bath of quenching 2, a high pressure degreasing tunnel 3, a station 4, any subsequent treatment units 5 and a winder 6.
- Such an installation may be suitable for treating sheet metal up to 400 mm wide and thick up to 1 mm at a line speed which can vary from very low value at 400 m / min.
- the strip bearing the general reference 13 circulates in continuous and is continuously subjected to the action of jets spraying a degreasing solution comprising surfactants, from spray heads 15 distributed above and below, as well as across the entire width of the strip, for example at a distance of 70 mm from the latter.
- a centrifugal pump 17 provides, at a pressure of 35 bars, a flow rate of 30 m 3 / h. for a strip width of 300 mm, which corresponds to an impact value of 270 g / cm 2 on the strip. This combined effect of impact action and chemical action is sufficient to perfectly treat a band circulating at a speed of 200 m / min.
- the alkaline solution is recovered and recycled with possible interposition of filtration equipment (retaining dust and iron fines) and / or regeneration.
- the equipment described may be combined in the cases suitable for an electrolytic degreasing cell high density, or other processing, if wish.
- FIG. 3 the impact profile of a jet is shown, taking the impact pressure expressed in g / cm 2 as a function of the distance in mm from the projection head.
- composition of the solutions used for the high pressure spraying is in principle suitable for operating operating conditions.
- solutions can be used alkalines exerting a saponification effect of esters with optionally a surfactant. Many of these compositions are known.
- an anti-foaming agent is generally useful and skilled in the art on the basis of simple tests may easily, depending on the circumstances, settle the different parameters such as temperature, pressure, distance jets, flow, type of jets and their directions, in particular by experimenting with the facilities and studying achievable jet profiles.
- Sheets Metallic, contaminated with fats and metallic particles
- Example cold rolled black steel sheet
- Line speed 20 to 600 m / min
- Line speed 200 m / min
