Definitions

  • the present invention relates to construction, namely, to a method of manufacturing building boards or articles of vegetable materials and a production line for realization of this method.
  • the invention will find broad application in making of a furniture in the woodworking industry.
  • wood-particle board manufacture is known (N. G. Romanov, Production Process of Wood Plastics and Boards, 1965, publishing office Lesnaya Promyshlennost, Moscow, p. 447-449), this technology includes milling of wood, drying a ground material, preparation of a binding agent and application it on surfaces of wood particles as well moulding.
  • a wood is milled with hammer breaker, cam crusher and so on, thereafter the ground material is dried in pneumatic, drum, continuous-belt or other driers.
  • a binding agent is prepared in the form of urea formaldehyde, phenol-formaldehyde and other resins.
  • Continuous or batch-operated mixers for example, drum and paddle mixer, are used for mixing of chips and binding resins together.
  • Mixed with the binder wood particles are moulded with continuous caterpillar presses or batch-operated hydraulic multiopening presses.
  • the said method of manufacturing wood-particles boards has the following drawbacks. Applied binding resins pollute an environment with toxic gases both during moulding and during use of the articles.
  • An extrusion method of manufacturing wood-particle boards (SU, A, 10216310) is well known. This method consists in feeding resin coated wood particles into a press receiving bin. Then particles are fed into a moulding channel formed by heating plates and void-formers. Moulded wood-particle board removes a press channel as a continuous band under the influence of punch pressure and heat of heating plates and external surfaces of void-formers.
  • a method of manufacturing building boards or articles of vegetable materials without addition of binding agents (A. N. Minin, Production of Articles and Materials of Ground Wood by Moulding, 1960, BSSR Governmental Publishing Office, Minsk, p. 123-127) is known.
  • the method consists in humidification of a source material and transmission of a waste into chipping machines for milling. Ground waste is sized, hereupon coarse portions are fed for repeated milling and the remaining wood pulp is reseived into a bin. The mass is fed automatically from a bin into driers(pneumogas, drum and other driers) with a dosing feeder.
  • Dry material is received into other bin, from which it is uniformly loaded with a dosing feeder into chain pulsating conveyer placed dies and the material is fed to a single daylight hydraulic press for preheating to thermal fluidity.
  • a dosing feeder into chain pulsating conveyer placed dies and the material is fed to a single daylight hydraulic press for preheating to thermal fluidity.
  • the dies with compacted material are fed with the same conveyer onto a charging device of a hydraulic multiopening press. Cooling, opening press plates and unloading of the dies with finished articles are carried out after moulding.
  • this process is laborious and expensive due to large energy consumption. Stage-by-stage operations and moulding with a multiopening press cause low process productivity.
  • An object of the invention is a method of manufacturing building boards or other articles of vegetable materials as well as a production line of this method ensuaring ecological cleanliness of building boards or other articles with improved physical-mechanical characteristics together with high manufacturing productivity due to coincidence of operations and usage of an extrusion moulding without application of binding resins and because of rational design in order to make this operations.
  • An object of the invention is the method of manufacturing building boards or other articles of vegetable materials including: milling, drying, conveying of ground mass, preheating of the ground mass in a close space to thermal plasticity and moulding followed by cooling of the article,according to the invention drying is carried out during ground mass preheating to thermal plasticity, said preheating being executed during conveying and moulding is performed with an extrusion press.
  • Simultaneous ground mass drying and preheating to thermal plasticity during conveying ensures short-term preparation of a moulding material, namely, bringing it to maximum fluidity with formation of resins.
  • humidification of vegetable materials is carried out by the saturated steam. It facilitates milling of the material in a breaker and reduces energy consumption.
  • rarefaction is created in a close space during ground material conveying. It ensures moisture and volatile gases removal from the material in the hermetic space. This phenomenon promotes all sizing agent conservation formed during material heating, facilitating to a process of moulding thereafter.
  • the finished article is seasoned before cooling in a close space for removal of internal stresses, it increases a strength and reduces water absorption of the finished articles.
  • a production line for manufacturing of building boards or other articles of vegetable materials which consists of a bin, an apparatus for humidification of a material, at least one breaker for milling of a material, a vehicle, a device for moulding, the vehicle includes two continuous conveyers, each of them is arranged in a housing, the housing of the first continuous conveyer is provided with a charging trough connected with a breaker and a cone portion having some openings on its surface and a lesser base of the cone is connected with a receiving apparatus of the housing of the second continuous conveyer, said housing is provided with double inner and outer walls; between these walls there is a space filled with heat-transfer agent as well with pipes for moisture and volatile gases removal and with a pipe for unloading of the mass connected with a moulding device as an extrusion press containing heating plates forming a heating zone, a collector with void-formers consisting of outer and inner tubes for heat-transfer agent supply and a punch.
  • This constructive embodiment of the vehicle ensures continuity of drying and preheating during conveying in the close space and it promotes increase of process productivity and ensures moulding material preparation, namely, state of its maximum fluidity with the extrusion press without addition of toxic synthetic resins polluting an environment.
  • the apparatus for humidification of the material is carried out as a steam line. It facilitates subsequently milling of the material with a breaker and reduces energy consumption.
  • the steam line is arranged between the bin and the breaker connected with the vehicle by means of a pipe-line and a cyclone.It will ensure removal of a free steam before drying in the vehicle and promote reducing of energy consumption.
  • the steam line is placed within the bin. It simplifies production line construction to a great extent.
  • vehicle pipes for removal of moisture and volatile gases are provided with an apparatus for creation of rarefaction at the gas outlet.
  • This promotes effective removal of moisture and volatile gases from the ground material with conservation of hermetic sealing and all sizing agents, being formed during heating of mass which agents facilitate process of moulding.
  • heating plates of the extrusion press are provided with a cooling zone performed with channels for a coolant and placed after the heating zone, a neutral zone being placed between the plate heating zone and the cooling zone.
  • Channels of the neutral zone are filled with insulator and void-formers additionaly are provided with an interior pipe for a heat-transfer agent and external and internal pipes for acoolant, the last pipes being placed in a space of interior pipes for supply of heat-transfer agent of the heating zone, and are insulated from the latter with insulator,and a collector additionaly is provided with pipes for coolant insulated from pipes for heat-transfer agent with insulator.
  • Length of the void-former external coolant pipe must be larger than length of the heat-transfer agent pipes by length of the neutral zone and a cooling zone of the heating plates.
  • This constructive embodiment of extrusion press elements permits after heating of the moulding material to 17-225°C to ensure seasoning of formed article in the neutral zone for removal of internal stresses with subsequent slow cooling to the temperature lower than 100°C in the close space. It promotes increase of article physical-mechanical characteristics. Seasoning time in the neutral zone depends on the type of a source vegetable material.
