Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the application of coating colour onto a web of fibrous material. It proceeds in this case from the principle of the indirect application of coating colour, in which the coating colour is first delivered onto the covering surface of an application roll and is then deposited onto a web of fibrous material. The basic idea of the invention consists of delivering two or more layers of coating colour onto the covering surface of one and the same application roll. According to an adapted embodiment, a release liquid can also be applied before the application of a coating colour layer, the release liquid repelling the coating colour but having an affinity for the material of the covering surface of the application roll, so that a trouble-free removal of the coated web of fibrous material from the covering surface of the roll takes place. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Vorrichtungen dieser Art können innerhalb oder außerhalb einer Papier-Herstellungsmaschine angeordnet sein. Bei der aufzutragenden Flüssigkeit kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Leimsuspension handeln, mit der die Papierbahn imprägniert wird; d.h. die Leimsuspension penetriert mehr oder weniger vollkommen in das Innere der Papierbahn. Die Flüssigkeit kann aber auch eine Streichmasse sein; gemeint sind damit Pigment-Aufschwemmungen verschiedenster Art, aus denen auf der Papierbahn eine Deckschicht gebildet wird. In beiden Fällen kann die Flüssigkeit auf nur eine Seite der Papierbahn aufgetragen werden oder auf beide Seiten der Papierbahn.Devices of this type can be located inside or outside a paper making machine. The liquid to be applied can be, for example, a glue suspension with which the paper web is impregnated; i.e. the glue suspension penetrates more or less completely into the interior of the paper web. The liquid can also be a coating slip; This means a wide variety of pigment suspensions from which a cover layer is formed on the paper web. In both cases, the liquid can be applied to only one side of the paper web or to both sides of the paper web.

Die Erfindung geht aus von Druckschrift 2. Aus der Druckschrift 1 ist ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung bekannt, die zwei in Umlaufrichtung der Auftragwalze hintereinander angeordnete Auftragswerke zum Auftragen von Streichfarbenverbindung auf eine Faserstoffbahn umfaßt, wobei jedes Auftragswerk eine als Klinge ausgebildete Dosierrakel aufweist.The invention is based on document 2. From document 1, a method and a device are known which have two application units arranged one behind the other in the direction of rotation of the application roller for applying Includes coating color connection on a fibrous web, each application unit having a metering knife designed as a blade.

In der Druckschrift 2 ist desweiteren eine Vorrichtung gezeigt, bei der zwei Auftragswalzen vorgesehen sind, die einen Spalt miteinander bilden, durch den eine Papierbahn hindurchläuft. Beiden Auftragswalzen ist je ein Düsenauftragswerk zugeordnet, das jeweils einen Streichfarben-Film auf die Mantelfläche der betreffenden Walze aufbringt. Das Düsenauftragswerk hat eine Düse mit zwei Düsenlippen, von denen die eine an ihrem freien Ende eine Rollrakel trägt, das ist ein Stab mit einer gerillten Mantelfläche. Damit ist ein dosiertes Auftragen von Streichfarbe auf die Mantelfläche der betreffenden Walze möglich.In document 2 there is also shown a device in which two application rollers are provided which form a nip with one another through which a paper web runs. A nozzle applicator is assigned to each of the application rollers, each applying a coating color film to the outer surface of the roller in question. The nozzle applicator has a nozzle with two nozzle lips, one of which carries a roller doctor blade at its free end, which is a rod with a grooved outer surface. A metered application of coating color to the outer surface of the roller in question is thus possible.

In der Technik des Streichens gibt es zwei grundlegend verschiedene Ziele: Zum einen geht es um das sogenannte Imprägnieren, wobei nur eine geringe Menge Streichfarbe pro Flächeneinheit auf die Papierbahn aufgetragen wird. Die Menge ist im allgemeinen derart gering, daß sie von der Papierbahn vollständig aufgesaugt wird. Zum anderen kennt man das Auftragen von Streichfarbe in einer wesentlich größeren Dosierung; hierbei wird ein Teil der Streichfarbe von der Papierbahn aufgesaugt, während ein weiterer Teil der Streichfarbe auf der Oberfläche der Papierbahn abgelagert wird und eine mehr oder minder starke Schicht auf der Papierbahn bildet.There are two fundamentally different goals in the technique of coating: on the one hand, there is the so-called impregnation, whereby only a small amount of coating color per unit area is applied to the paper web. The amount is generally so small that it is completely absorbed by the paper web. On the other hand, we know the application of coating color in a much larger dosage; a part of the coating color is sucked up by the paper web, while another part of the coating color is deposited on the surface of the paper web and forms a more or less strong layer on the paper web.

Beide Verfahren hat man auch schon miteinander kombiniert, indem man in einer ersten Vorrichtung zunächst die Papierbahn mit einem Vorstrich imprägniert hat und sodann in einem Nachstrich mit Streichfarbe beschichtet hat. Das oben genannte Dokument (8) beschreibt eine Streichmaschine, bei welcher zunächst ein Vorstrich mittels einer Auftragswalze auf eine Papierbahn aufgebracht wird. Die Papierbahn umschlingt in üblicher Weise eine Gegenwalze. Nach einem gewissen Umdrehungswinkel trägt eine weitere Auftragsstation - in diesem Falle eine sogenannte SDTA-Station (Streichstation mit kurzer Verweilzeit) - eine weitere Lage auf die erstgenannte Lage auf. Diese SDTA-Station weist als solche in ihrem Ablaufbereich - dort, wo die Papierbahn die SDTA-Station verläßt - eine Rakelklinge auf. Noch etwas weiter folgt eine Endrakel, die wiederum eine Rakelklinge ist.Both methods have already been combined with one another by first impregnating the paper web with a primer in a first device and then coating it with a coating color in a post-coat. The above-mentioned document (8) describes a coating machine in which a primer is first applied to a paper web by means of an application roller. The paper web wraps around a counter roller in the usual way. After a certain rotation angle, another application station carries - in this case a so-called SDTA station (coating station with short dwell time) - another layer on top of the first layer. As such, this SDTA station has a doctor blade in its run-off area - where the paper web leaves the SDTA station. A little further follows an end doctor blade, which in turn is a doctor blade.

Man versucht hierbei somit, einen Doppelstrich auf eine umlaufende Papierbahn aufzubringen. Das technologische Ergebnis sowohl nach dem Verfahren und mit der Vorrichtung gemäß der Druckschrift (8) als auch der Druckschrift (1) ist jedoch unbefriedigend. Es hat sich nämlich gezeigt, daß der hiermit erzielte Strich in keiner Weise gleichförmig ist. Weder ist die Strichstärke gleichmäßig, noch ist die Oberfläche des letzten Striches einwandfrei und gleichmäßig. Die Gründe hierfür liegen im Dunkeln.An attempt is therefore made to apply a double stroke to a circulating paper web. However, the technological result both by the method and with the device according to document (8) and document (1) is unsatisfactory. It has been shown that the stroke thus obtained is in no way uniform. The line width is neither uniform, nor is the surface of the last line perfect and even. The reasons for this are in the dark.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Gattungsbegriff von Anspruch 1 derart zu gestalten, daß ohne nachfolgende Einrichtungen eine möglichst große Menge Streichfarbe auf eine Papierbahn aufgebracht werden kann, daß das Strichgewicht über die Bahnbreite hinweg gleichmäßig ist, und daß die Strichoberfläche gleichförmig ist.The invention has for its object to design a device according to the preamble of claim 1 such that the largest possible amount of coating color can be applied to a paper web without subsequent devices, that the coat weight is uniform across the web width, and that the coating surface is uniform is.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin ein Verfahren zum Auftragen von Streichfarbe auf eine Faserstoffbahn gemäß dem Anspruch 12.The invention further relates to a method for applying coating color to a fibrous web according to claim 12.

Der Erfinder hat zunächst erkannt, daß er von einer Vorrichtung gemäß dem Gattungsbegriff auszugehen hat; hierbei wird der Strich nämlich nicht direkt auf die Papierbahn aufgebracht, sondern zunächst auf die Mantelfläche einer Auftragswalze aufgelegt. Ferner hat er erkannt, daß das Anwenden von Rollrakeln als Schaberelementen wenigstens bei einem Auftragswerk unerläßlich ist, und daß die klingenförmigen Rakel für das Streichergebnis absolut schädlich sind. Durch Anwenden von Rollrakeln, vor allem bei dem ersten Düsenauftragswerk, wird eine gewisse Glättung und Verfestigung des ersten Striches erreicht. Damit erhält der erste Strich eine gewisse Stabilität, so daß er bezüglich seiner Oberflächenstruktur vom nachfolgenden, auf ihn aufgebrachten zweiten Strich nicht mehr zerstört wird.The inventor first recognized that he had to start from a device according to the generic term; this is because the line is not applied directly to the paper web, but first placed on the outer surface of an application roller. He also recognized that the use of roller doctor blades as scraper elements is indispensable, at least for a commissioned work, and that the blade-shaped doctor blades are absolutely harmful to the coating result. A certain smoothing and solidification of the first stroke is achieved by using roller doctor blades, especially in the first nozzle applicator. This gives the first stroke a certain stability, so that its surface structure is no longer destroyed by the subsequent second line applied to it.

Die Erfindung ist anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Darin ist im einzelnen folgendes dargestellt:

Figur 1
zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer Vorrichtung mit zwei zueinander parallelen Auftragswalzen, wobei der einen dieser Auftragswalzen zwei Düsenauftragswerke zugeordnet sind;
Figur 2
zeigt eine Ausführungsform ähnlich jener gemäß Figur 1, jedoch mit zwei Paaren von Düsenauftragswerken, die spiegelbildlich zueinander angeordnet sind;

The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. The following is shown in detail:
Figure 1
shows a schematic representation of a device with two parallel application rollers, wherein one of these application rollers are assigned two nozzle applicators;
Figure 2
shows an embodiment similar to that of Figure 1, but with two pairs of nozzle applicators, which are arranged in mirror image to each other;
Figure 3
shows a section of Figure 1, but in an enlargement;
Figure 4
shows an alternative embodiment to Figures 1 and 2, similar to that shown in Figure 2.
Figure 5
shows an embodiment with indirect and direct application.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Auftragsvorrichtung weist zwei Auftragswalzen auf, zwei Düsenauftragswerke 31, 41, zwei Düsenkammern 32, 42, je eine maschinenbreite Düsenlippe 13, 23, je eine Dosierrakel 8, 8 sowie je eine Streichfarbenrinne 39, 49. Die beiden Auftragswalzen laufen im Sinne der Pfeile P um. Eine Papierbahn 9 ist durch den Spalt hindurchgeführt, der zwischen den beiden Walzen gebildet ist.The application device shown in Figure 1 has two application rollers, two nozzle applicators 31, 41, two nozzle chambers 32, 42, each a machine-wide nozzle lip 13, 23, a metering doctor 8, 8 and a coating color channel 39, 49. The two application rollers run in Arrows P around. A paper web 9 is passed through the nip formed between the two rollers.

Im Betrieb erhalten die beiden Düsenkammem 32, 42 von nicht dargestellten Pumpen einen Streichfarbenstrom. Ein Teil dieses Stromes gelangt zur Düse und damit zu deren Auslauf, wo er durch die betreffende Dosierrakel 8 dosiert und als Film auf der Mantelfläche der betreffenden Walze abgelagert wird. Ein kleinerer Teil tritt an der anderen Düsenlippe als Überschußstrom über und gelangt in die betreffende Auffangrinne 39, 49.In operation, the two nozzle chambers 32, 42 receive a coating color stream from pumps, not shown. A part of this stream reaches the nozzle and thus to its outlet, where it is metered by the metering doctor 8 in question and deposited as a film on the lateral surface of the roller in question. A smaller part passes over to the other nozzle lip as excess flow and arrives in the collecting channel 39, 49 in question.

Somit werden zwei Streichfarben-Filme aufgebracht. Der erste Film aus Düsenauftragswerk 31 wird auf die Mantelfläche der Walze 30 aufgelegt, während der zweite Film aus Auftragswerk 41 auf den erstgenannten Film aufgelegt wird. Die beiden Streichfarben-Filme wandern sodann zusammen mit der Mantelfläche der Walze 30 zum Spalt, der zwischen den Walzen gebildet ist, und somit auf die in der Zeichnung links dargestellte Seite der Papierbahn.Thus two coating color films are applied. The first film from the nozzle applicator 31 is placed on the outer surface of the roller 30, while the second film from the applicator 41 is placed on the former film. The two coating color films then migrate together with the outer surface of the roller 30 to the nip which is formed between the rollers and thus to the side of the paper web shown on the left in the drawing.

Die Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 4 sieht eine paarweise, symmetrische Anordnung der Düsenauftragswerke vor.The embodiment according to FIG. 4 provides a paired, symmetrical arrangement of the nozzle applicator units.

Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 4 liegt die Besonderheit darin, daß die beiden Streichstationen Lippen aufweisen, die jeweils an ihren freien Enden eine Rollrakel aufweisen. Die Düsenkammern sind somit - in Laufrichtung gesehen - beidseits durch eine Rollrakel begrenzt.The special feature of the embodiment according to FIG. 4 is that the two coating stations have lips, each of which has a doctor blade at its free ends. The nozzle chambers are thus - seen in the running direction - delimited on both sides by a roller doctor.

Das erfindungsgemäße Düsenauftragswerk bietet interessante Möglichkeiten, die über das Auftragen zweier Streichfarben-Filme auf die Mantelfläche der betreffenden Walze hinausgehen.The nozzle applicator according to the invention offers interesting possibilities which go beyond the application of two coating color films to the outer surface of the roller in question.

So ist es beispielsweise möglich, das nach dem Walzenspalt erste Auftragswerk mit einer Flüssigkeit zu beschicken (Release-Flüssigkeit), die die Eigenschaft hat, einen Streichfarben-Film abzustoßen, jedenfalls keine Verbindung mit diesem einzugehen. Statt dessen hätte die Flüssigkeit die Eigenschaft, am stählernen Mantel der Walze zu haften. Bei Figur 1 wäre dies das Auftragswerk 31. Das Beschicken mit einer solchen Release-Flüssigkeit hätte den Vorteil, daß die Papierbahn 9 mit dem darauf befindlichen Streichfarben-Film problemlos aus dem Walzenspalt entfernt, ohne daß Spuren des Streichfarben-Films auf der Mantelfläche der Walze 30 haften blieben. Der Release-Film könnte ferner chemisch derart aufgebaut sein, daß er dem nachfolgenden Streichfarben-Film eine noch glattere Oberfläche verleiht, als dies die Mantelfläche der Walze 30 tun könnte.For example, it is possible to load the first application unit after the roll nip with a liquid (release liquid) which has the property of repelling a coating color film, in any case not having any connection with it. Instead, the liquid would have the property of adhering to the steel shell of the roller. In FIG. 1, this would be the application unit 31. Loading such a release liquid would have the advantage that the paper web 9 with the coating color film on it would be easily removed from the nip without traces of the coating color film on the outer surface of the roller 30 remained stuck. The release film could also be chemically structured such that he gives the subsequent coating color film an even smoother surface than the outer surface of the roller 30 could do.

Außerdem lassen sich natürlich auch mehr als zwei Düsenauftragswerke an einer einzigen Walze anordnen, also drei oder mehrere Düsenauftragswerke.In addition, of course, more than two nozzle applicators can be arranged on a single roller, i.e. three or more nozzle applicators.

Eine weitere interessante Möglichkeit, die die Erfindung bietet, besteht darin, den gesamten Streichfarbenauftrag regelrecht zu "konstruieren", so daß der Auftrag im Querschnitt gesehen ganz unterschiedliche Eigenschaften hat. So kann beispielsweise die äußere Schicht weich und nachgiebig sein, so daß sie sich leicht glätten läßt. Sie kann auch zäh und kratzbeständig sein, usw.Another interesting possibility offered by the invention is to "construct" the entire coating application, so that the application has very different properties when viewed in cross-section. For example, the outer layer can be soft and resilient so that it can be smoothed easily. It can also be tough and scratch resistant, etc.

Als Dosierrakel kommen grundsätzlich alle rakelartigen Elemente in Betracht. Handelt es sich um einen Stab, so kann dieser drehbar gelagert sein und auch einen Antrieb aufweisen. Er kann Umfangsrillen aufweisen, jedoch ist dies nicht zwingend. Die Umfangsrillen können ggf. aus Drähten gebildet sein. Die Rakel kann jedoch auch aus einer Klinge gebildet sein, die entweder völlig steif oder nachgiebig ist. Die Klinge kann auch im Arbeitsbereich gerillt oder gezahnt sein.In principle, all doctor-like elements come into consideration as the metering doctor. If it is a rod, it can be rotatably mounted and also have a drive. It can have circumferential grooves, but this is not mandatory. The circumferential grooves can optionally be formed from wires. However, the doctor blade can also be formed from a blade that is either completely stiff or compliant. The blade can also be grooved or serrated in the work area.

Gemäß einem weiteren Gedanken der Erfindung ist wenigstens eines der Düsenauftragswerke mit einem Rakelstab mit glatter Mantelfläche versehen. Diese Mantelfläche kann beispielsweise verchromt sein. Der Stab kann aus Glas oder Keramik bestehen oder einen Glas- oder Keramikmantel haben. Auch alle anderen, hochverschleißfesten Materialien kommen in Betracht.According to a further concept of the invention, at least one of the nozzle applicators is provided with a doctor rod with a smooth outer surface. This outer surface can be chrome-plated, for example. The rod can be made of glass or ceramic or have a glass or ceramic jacket. All other highly wear-resistant materials can also be considered.

Wichtig ist hierbei, daß der Stab leicht austauschbar ist, so daß Stäbe unterschiedlichen Durchmessers anwendbar sind. Dies hat den folgenden Sinn: Bei Stäben mit glatter Mantelfläche hängt das Auftragsvolumen oder Strichgewicht vom Anpreßdruck ab. Dabei nimmt das Strichgewicht mit zunehmendem Anpreßdruck ab. Die Abhängigkeit folgt etwa einer Hyperbel. Dabei lassen sich unterschiedliche Hyperbelformen bei unterschiedlichen Rakelstabdurchmessern erreichen.It is important here that the rod is easily interchangeable, so that rods of different diameters can be used. This has the following meaning: For bars with a smooth surface, the application volume or coat weight depends on the contact pressure. The coat weight decreases with increasing contact pressure. The dependency follows a hyperbole. Different hyperbola shapes can be achieved with different doctor rod diameters.

Auch kann es für die weiteren Auftragswerke zweckmäßig sein, statt eines Rakelstabes eine Klinge zu verwenden. Es ist nicht auszuschließen, daß nachfolgende Auftragswerke mit Klingen statt mit Rakelstäben arbeiten. Gemäß einem weiteren Gedanken der Erfindung erfolgt zunächst ein indirekter Auftrag, indem in gewohnter Weise die Mantelfläche einer Walze mittels eines Düsenauftragswerkes mit Streichfarbe beschichtet wird, und dieser Streichfarbenfilm durch den Umlauf dieser Walze an die Papierbahn herangeführt wird. Nach Empfang dieses Streichfarbenfilms wird die Papierbahn sodann um eine weitere Walze herumgeführt und empfängt dort einen weiteren Streichfarbenfilm im Direkt-Auftragsverfahren. Diese Variante ist in Figur 5 dargestellt.It may also be expedient for the further application works to use a blade instead of a doctor bar. It cannot be ruled out that subsequent commissioned works work with blades instead of with doctor blades. According to a further idea of the invention, an indirect application is first carried out by coating the outer surface of a roller with coating ink in the usual manner by means of a nozzle applicator, and this coating ink film being brought to the paper web by the circulation of this roller. After receiving this coating color film, the paper web is then passed around a further roller and receives another coating color film there in the direct application process. This variant is shown in FIG. 5.

Es ist möglich, die Ausführungsformen derart zu gestalten, daß sämtliche Auftragswerke, oder wenigstens einige hiervon abschwenkbar sind. Dies ermöglicht wahlweise, je nach Bedarf, ein flexibles Betreiben der Anlage.It is possible to design the embodiments in such a way that all the orders, or at least some of them, can be pivoted away. Depending on requirements, this enables the system to be operated flexibly.
