Abstract

In the screening process for fibrous suspensions a partition (3, 3') with openings is used, through which the components of the suspension (S) to be screened are classified according to size. In this case, on the supply side (4) to the partition (3,3'), the gentle removal of the rejected components is achieved with the aid of flow vanes (7,7'), while on the passage side (5), pressure surges are generated by means of reamers (6), pass through the openings of the partition and prevent their blockage. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Siebvorrichtung zur Sortierung von Faserstoffsuspension gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a screening device for sorting fiber suspension according to the preamble of claim 1.

Sortierverfahren werden häufig in Anlagen zur Aufbereitung von Altpapier angewendet, eventuell auch bei der Behandlung von Zellstoffsuspensionen. Das Ziel bei einer solchen Behandlung von Faserstoffsuspensionen ist die Abtrennung von Verunreinigungen oder nicht genügend auflösbaren Faserstoffstücken. Im Vordergrund stehen dabei verunreinigende Stoffe, die aus der Benutzung des Papiers stammen und bei der Verarbeitung und Wiederverwendung des aufbereiteten Altpapiers stören würden. Dabei ist insbesondere an Kunststoffverunreinigungen, Kleberücken und hochnaßfeste Papieranteile zu denken. Andere Verunreinigungen können zwar prinzipiell auch durch derartige Siebvorrichtungen entfernt werden; es empfiehlt sich aber aus ökonomischen Gründen in vielen Fällen die Ausnutzung der von der Suspension abweichenden Dichte, was insbesondere Steine, Glasscherben und Metallteile betrifft, in Hydrozyklonen. Die Styroporteile haben zwar auch die Eigenschaft, aufgrund einer sehr viel geringeren Dichte leicht aufzuschwimmen und dadurch in Hydrozyklone entfernbar zu sein, andererseits sind sie aber sehr leicht durch mechanische Kräfte so weit zu zerkleinern, daß ihre Entfernung dann schwierig wird. Aus diesem Grunde wird es oft auch gewünscht, Styroporteile sehr früh im Aufbereitungsprozeß aus der Suspension zu entfernen.Sorting processes are often used in plants for the processing of waste paper, possibly also in the treatment of pulp suspensions. The aim of such a treatment of pulp suspensions is the separation of impurities or pieces of pulp which cannot be dissolved sufficiently. The focus is on contaminating substances that come from the use of the paper and would interfere with the processing and reuse of the recycled waste paper. Plastic contaminants, adhesive backs and highly wet-strength paper parts are particularly important. In principle, other contaminants can also be removed by means of such screening devices; For economic reasons, however, it is advisable in many cases to use the density deviating from the suspension, particularly in relation to stones, broken glass and metal parts, in hydrocyclones. The styrofoam parts also have the property of being able to float easily due to a much lower density and thus be removable in hydrocyclones, but on the other hand they are very easy to shred by mechanical forces to such an extent that their removal then becomes difficult. For this reason, it is often also desirable to remove styrofoam parts from the suspension very early in the preparation process.

Damit überhaupt ein derartiges Sortierverfahren betriebssicher ausgeführt werden kann, sind die erwähnten Mittel zur Räumung einzusetzen. Neben der an sich gewünschten Wirkung, nämlich das Absetzen und Zusetzen von Maschinenteilen zu verhindern, können sie auch die unerwünschte haben , nämlich die an sich aufgrund ihrer Größe ausscheidbaren Feststoffteilchen so weit zu zerkleinern, daß ihre Ausscheidung schwierig wird. Es wurde auch versucht, diesen Nachteil dadurch zu vermeiden, daß die Räummittel auf der Gutstoffseite der Trennmittel eingesetzt wurden. Das ergab aber nicht immer eine ausreichende Sicherheit gegen Verstopfen, zumal nicht bei starker Schmutzbelastung.So that such a sorting process can be carried out in a manner that is reliable in operation, the means mentioned for clearing must be used. In addition to the effect desired per se, namely to prevent the setting down and clogging of machine parts, they can also have the undesirable effect, namely that due to itself to reduce the size of solid particles which can be separated out to such an extent that their removal becomes difficult. Attempts have also been made to avoid this disadvantage by using the broaching agents on the accepting side of the release agents. However, this did not always result in sufficient security against clogging, especially not when there is a lot of dirt.

Um die beschriebenen Sortierverfahren durchzuführen, werden Sorbervorrichtungen der im Oberbegriff angegebenen Art verwendet. So ist z.B. aus der EP-A-0 465 312 eine Siebvorrichtung bekannt, die ebenfalls beidseitig des ebenen Trennelementes, also an der Zulaufseite und an der Durchlaufseite mit bewegbaren Rotoren versehen ist, wobei auf der Durchlaufseite Räumer und auf der Zulaufseite Strömungsschaufeln vorhanden sind. Bei dieser bekannten Siebvorrichtung soll die Freihaltung des Siebes dadurch gewährleistet werden, daß mit Hilfe der Strömungsschaufeln ein Axialsog am Sieb erzeugt wird. Hierdurch und durch die weiterhin gewünschte Funktion des Stoffaufschlagens wird jedoch ein beträchtlicher Umtrieb erzeugt, der Energie kostet und sowohl die Zerkleinerung der abgewiesenen Stoffe als auch den Verschleiß der Bauteile fördert.In order to carry out the sorting processes described, sorber devices of the type specified in the preamble are used. For example, from EP-A-0 465 312 a screening device is known which is also provided with movable rotors on both sides of the planar separating element, that is to say on the inlet side and on the passage side, with clearers on the passage side and flow blades on the inlet side. In this known sieve device, the sieve is to be kept free by generating an axial suction on the sieve with the aid of the flow blades. As a result of this and the still desired function of the stocking up, however, a considerable amount of rotation is generated, which costs energy and promotes both the comminution of the rejected materials and the wear of the components.

In der US-A-2 480 119 soll die Siebfreihaltung durch wechselseitiges Vorbeilaufen der beidseitig angebrachten Rotorflügel verbessert werden. Auch diese Methode ist mit beträchtlichem Energieeinsatz verbunden und fördert das Zerkleinern der aufgrund ihrer Größe abgewiesenen Feststoffe.In US Pat. No. 2,480,119, the sieve clearance is to be improved by reciprocally passing the rotor blades attached on both sides. This method, too, is associated with considerable energy consumption and promotes the comminution of the solids rejected due to their size.

Die Erfindung setzt sich daher zum Ziel, eine Siebvorrichtung zu schaffen, die einen einwandfreien Betrieb garantiert, insbesondere die Verstopfungsfreiheit bei kontinuierlicher Fahrweise, andererseits aber die auszuscheidenden Verunreinigungen nicht oder höchstens so weit zerkleinert, daß ihre Ausscheidung effektiv und wirtschaftlich möglich ist.The aim of the invention is therefore to create a screening device which guarantees perfect operation, in particular the freedom from blockage in a continuous mode of operation, but on the other hand does not crush the contaminants to be separated out or at most to such an extent that they can be eliminated effectively and economically.

Dieses Ziel wird durch die Merkmale im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 voll erfüllt. Vorteilhafte Vorrichtungen zur Ausführung der Erfindung sind in den sich anschließenden Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.This goal is fully met by the features in the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous devices for carrying out the invention are listed in the subsequent subclaims.

Durch diese Maßnahmen wird einerseits an der Durchlaufseite mit den dort arbeitenden Räumern eine intensive Freihaltung der Öffnungen in der Trennwand möglich, insbesondere durch Druck- und Saugimpulse, die stark genug sind, um auch in den Öffnungen und durch sie hindurch zu wirken. Diese Druck- und Saugimpulse sind Folge einer großen Relativbewegung zwischen Suspension und Räumem. Andererseits werden durch die Strömungsschaufeln auf der Gegenseite, also der Zulaufseite der mit Öffnungen versehenen Trennwand, die abgewiesenen, sich dort aufkonzentrierenden Feststoffe sehr schonend abtransportiert .These measures make it possible on the one hand on the flow side with the clearers working there to keep the openings in the partition wall clear, in particular by pressure and suction pulses which are strong enough to also act in the openings and through them. These pressure and suction impulses are the result of a large relative movement between the suspension and the scraper. On the other hand, the rejected, concentrating solids are removed very gently by the flow blades on the opposite side, that is, the inlet side of the partition provided with openings.

In den zur Durchführung des Verfahrens vorgesehenen Vorrichtungen sind die Strömungsschaufeln so gestaltet und relativ zu den übrigen Teilen der Maschine positioniert, daß eine mechanische Zerkleinerung der Feststoffe äußerst gering wird. Dazu können relativ große Abstände zu den Teilen der Maschine, relativ zu denen sich die Strömungsschaufeln bewegen, gewählt werden, abgerundete Kanten an den Strömungsschaufeln und/oder eine Querschnittsgeometrie der Schaufeln, welche derart ausgebildet ist, daß eine möglichst weitgehende Impulsübertragung auf die Suspension stattfindet, und so die Relativbewegung zwischen Suspension und Strömungsschaufeln verringert wird.In the devices provided for carrying out the method, the flow blades are designed in this way and relative to the other parts of the machine positioned that mechanical comminution of the solids is extremely low. For this purpose, relatively large distances to the parts of the machine, relative to which the flow blades move, can be selected, rounded edges on the flow blades and / or a cross-sectional geometry of the blades, which is designed such that the greatest possible momentum transfer to the suspension takes place, and so the relative movement between suspension and flow blades is reduced.

Die Wirkung der Strömungsschaufeln kann dabei mit Vorteil so eingestellt werden, daß eine Transportbewegung der Feststoffe an der Zulaufseite erfolgt, wenn sie gerade durch den durch die Öffnungen wirkenden Druckimpuls der Räumer von der Trennwand abgehoben werden. Ein Zusetzen der Öffnungen in der Trennwand kann daher nicht auftreten.The effect of the flow blades can advantageously be adjusted so that a transport movement of the solids takes place on the inlet side when they are being lifted off the partition by the pressure impulse of the scrapers through the openings. A clogging of the openings in the partition can therefore not occur.

Eine geringe mechanische Beanspruchung des Faserstoffes kann aber gelegentlich auch erwünscht sein, solange keine zu starke Schmutzstoff-Zerkleinerung auftritt.A low mechanical stress on the fibrous material may occasionally be desirable as long as there is no excessive comminution of contaminants.

Die Erfindung und ihre Vorteile werden erläutert durch die Figuren 1 bis 4.The invention and its advantages are illustrated by FIGS. 1 to 4.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt in 3 Phasen (1a, 1b, 1c), grob schematisch dargestellt, ein Modell des erfindungsgemäßen Sortiervorgangs. Gemäß Fig. 1 a bewegen sich sowohl eine Strömungsschaufel 7 als auch ein Räumer 6 entlang einer als Trennelement dienenden Trennwand 3. Die Suspensionsströmung ist durch Pfeile 12 im Bereich der Öffnungen 2 angedeutet. Dort, wo gerade der Räumer 6 vorbeiläuft, bildet sich ein Druckimpuls aus, der eine Rückströmung durch die Öffnungen des Trennelements bewirkt. Man erkennt bereits das sich dem Trennelement nähemde Festteilchen 13. In Fig. 1 b hat sich das Festteilchen 13 an dasTrennelement 3 angesetzt und verstopft einen Teil der Öffnungen. Es nähert sich bereits die nächste Strömungsschaufel 7 sowie der nächste Räumer 6. Wie die Fig. 1 c zeigt, drückt der Druckimpuls des Räumers 6 das Festteilchen so weit vom Trennelement 3 ab, daß es durch die von der Schaufel 7 erzeugte Strömung fortbewegt werden kann.1 shows a model of the sorting process according to the invention in three phases (1a, 1b, 1c), shown roughly schematically. According to FIG. 1 a, both a flow blade 7 and a scraper 6 move along a partition wall 3 serving as a separating element. The suspension flow is indicated by arrows 12 in the area of the openings 2 indicated. Wherever the scraper 6 just passes, a pressure pulse forms, which causes a backflow through the openings of the separating element. One can already see the solid particle 13 approaching the separating element. In FIG. 1 b, the solid particle 13 has attached itself to the separating element 3 and clogs part of the openings. The next flow blade 7 and the next scraper 6 are already approaching. As shown in FIG. 1 c, the pressure pulse of the scraper 6 pushes the solid particles away from the separating element 3 so far that they can be moved by the flow generated by the blade 7 .

Die Fig. 2 stellt als Beispiel eine erfindungsgemäße Siebvorrichtung dar. Sie zeigt schematisch in seitlicher Schnittansicht ein die Suspension S aufnehmendes Gehäuse 1, welches als Trennelement eine Trennwand 3 enthält. Die Trennwand 3 weist eine Vielzahl von Öffnungen 2 (Fig. 3) auf. Der Suspensionsstrom, der durch die Öffnungen 2 die Trennwand 3 passieren kann, wird aus dem Gehäuse durch einen Stutzen als Gutstoff G herausgeleitet. Die Restmenge gelangt durch einen anderen Stutzen als Reject R ebenfalls aus dem Gehäuse 1. Im normalen Betrieb ist die Menge G sehr viel größer als die Menge R.2 shows an example of a screening device according to the invention. It shows schematically a side sectional view of a housing 1 receiving the suspension S, which contains a partition 3 as a separating element. The partition 3 has a multiplicity of openings 2 (FIG. 3). The suspension flow, which can pass through the dividing wall 3 through the openings 2, is led out of the housing through a connecting piece as a good substance G. The remaining amount also comes out of the housing 1 through a nozzle other than Reject R. In normal operation, the amount G is much larger than the amount R.

Aufgrund der Wirkung der Trennwand kann man unterscheiden zwischen einer Zulaufseite 4 und einer Durchlaufseite 5. Auf der Durchlaufseite 5 sind die Räumer 6 als Teil eines Räumerrotors 8 sichtbar. Auch auf der Zulaufseite 4 der Trennwand 3 befinden sich Räummittel im weiteren Sinne, hier in Form von Strömungsschaufeln 7. Sie sind Teile eines Schaufelrotors 9, welcher - wie hier gezeichnet - durch eine Welle mit dem Räumerrotor 8 verbunden ist. Diese Verbindung ist aber nicht in jedem Fall erforderlich, wenn sie sich auch aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen zumeist empfiehlt.Due to the effect of the partition, a distinction can be made between an inlet side 4 and a through side 5. On the through side 5, the clearers 6 are visible as part of a clearing rotor 8. Broaching means in the broader sense are also located on the inlet side 4 of the partition 3, here in the form of flow blades 7. They are parts of a blade rotor 9, which - as drawn here - is connected to the clearing rotor 8 by a shaft. However, this connection is not always necessary if it is usually recommended for economic reasons.

Bei einer oben beschriebenen Verbindung der beiden Rotoren wird die Verbindungswelle hier zentral durch die Trennwand 3 geführt, wobei Abdichtteile 10 verwendet werden können Es kann allerdings auch sein, daß dort ein Spalt verbleibt, durch den ein Teil der Suspension strömen kann. Das wäre unschädlich, solange keine groben Teile in den Gußstoff gelangen und keine Blockierung dieses Zwischenraumes erfolgt.In the case of a connection of the two rotors described above, the connecting shaft is guided centrally through the dividing wall 3, it being possible for sealing parts 10 to be used. However, it may also be the case that a gap remains through which part of the suspension can flow. This would be harmless as long as no coarse parts get into the casting and there is no blocking of this space.

Die Rotoren sind antreibbar, z.B. über eine Riemenscheibe 11. Ferner ist eine Lagerung 12 angedeutet.The rotors can be driven, e.g. via a pulley 11. Furthermore, a bearing 12 is indicated.

Fig. 3 stellt einen Ausschnitt der Fig. 2 dar und zeigt insbesondere, wie der Abstand A1 zwischen Strömungsschaufeln 7 und Trennwand 3 sowie der Abstand A2 zwischen Trennwand 3 und Räumer 6 definiert ist.3 shows a section of FIG. 2 and shows in particular how the distance A1 between flow blades 7 and partition 3 and the distance A2 between partition 3 and scraper 6 are defined.

Als Besonderheit ist in der Figur 4 der Außendurchmesser des Rotors mit den Strömungsschaufeln 7' so gewählt, daß er geringfügig kleiner ist als der Innendurchmesser der ringförmigen gelochten Trennwand 3'. Dadurch läßt sich diese leicht, d.h. ohne Abbau des die Strömungsschaufeln 7' tragenden Rotors von der Zulaufseite 4 her ein- und ausbauen. Der Rotor selbst wird kleiner und damit billiger. Seine Wirkung reicht im Betrieb auch in den radial außerhalb liegenden Bereich, so daß durch Zusammenwirken mit den nah an der Trennwand 3' vorbeilaufenden Räumern 6 die Löcher freigehalten werden können.As a special feature, the outer diameter of the rotor with the flow blades 7 'is selected in FIG. 4 such that it is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the annular perforated partition 3'. This makes it easy to Install and remove from the inlet side 4 without removing the rotor carrying the flow blades 7 '. The rotor itself becomes smaller and therefore cheaper. In operation, its effect also extends to the radially outside area, so that the holes can be kept free by interaction with the clearers 6 passing close to the partition 3 '.
