Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for curing an ink, lacquer, Adhesive or silicone layer, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention is concerned with the treatment of substances, in particular of dyes which have a double bond as a monomer, which is to be polymerized using UV light. It is known, Polymerize double bonds with electrons or cationically.
- the treating mixture e.g. a dye a so-called photoinitiator needed.
- This photoinitiator is used in excess so the polymerization reaction once started by UV light does not result from this breaks off that the dye radical reacts with the diradical oxygen. Accordingly, a relatively high concentration of Photoinitiators worked so that the probability for the dye radical, to meet and enter an oxygen radical become, relatively less than the probability of another To hit monomer with double bond and to radicalize it.
- Central cylinder machines are known with which on a paper web or applied different colors one after the other on a plastic film each layer is dried before the next layer of paint is applied.
- UV lamps are used to dry these individual layers of paint used and cooled by air. This is a UV lamp cooled with an outside temperature of approx. 800 ° C by sucking in air, which is led past the lamp.
- a disadvantage of this Construction is the continuous generation of ozone, the movement of large ones Amounts of dirt particles and the heating of the coated substrate, which is particularly difficult for heat-sensitive plastic films Defects.
- EP-A-0 161 540 describes a method for hardening a hardenable Silicon layer known that on a paper substrate surface is applied, the layer being carried out in a hardness stage Irradiation substrate with UV light while flushing the UV lamp room is subjected to gas.
- the UV lamp room is from that Hardening room through which the substrate is led by means of a quartz glass pane separated gas-tight.
- the cooling gas preferably air
- Nitrogen as an inert gas is fed separately into the hardening room entered, ensuring that special locks are provided, that the entry of atmospheric oxygen into the hardening room is not possible.
- US-A-4 143 278 describes a radiation reactor for hardening layers, Colors and the like. Described at what ambient air in the Housing, over the lamps and on the substrate surface and circulates. The use of an inert gas is not intended there. A special cooling device turns the circulating air into heat withdrawn.
- EP-A-0 589 260 is a flexographic printing machine constructed in a modular design known, on the printing unit, a film made of plastic or Metal is printed with a UV-curing ink.
- the printed web is fed to a UV radiation and cooling unit, which comprises a cooling cylinder, the inner cooling jacket of cooling water is flowed through.
- the first step is that the film, which is usually very sensitive to heat and has a thickness of 10 to 50 ⁇ m during the UV irradiation must be cooled.
- the present invention exists in performing the second step, d. H. the printing and drying / curing process in an atmosphere of purge gas. If If inert gas is used, nitrogen or carbon dioxide is preferred.
- the purge gas does not necessarily have to be an inert gas, but can be in Depending on the layer to be hardened also dry air, moist air or be another reactive gas.
- moist air or be another reactive gas for example, there are chemical ones Systems that are not sensitive to oxygen, but sensitive to moisture are.
- glue on a paper web or a Plastic or aluminum foil are applied, they need water, to be able to react and harden better.
- a polyamide film on the other hand tends to bind very strong moisture on the surface. As a result then the gas must be chosen so that this film before Printing process, that is, dehumidified before applying the color, so that there are much more favorable conditions than when the color is on a monomolecular moisture film is applied.
- the proposal according to the invention is particularly at a high speed working flexographic cylinder machine with great advantage applicable, on which, for example, films for food packaging to be completed or where it has to be laminated. It can not only be excellent adhesion of paint to paper / plastic or aluminum foils achieve, but the problem of the unpleasant smell is caused by a significant reduction in the photoinitiator also eliminated because the hardening / drying of the individual layers of paint now takes place in a protective atmosphere and quickly.
- the Laminar flow including oxygen can also occur in particular Entry of the substrate in the hardness stage in the form of the UV dryer Nitrogen can be replaced, the color on the surface also from that quickly absorbed oxygen is released. According to the invention can more than 80% of the photoinitiators required so far have been dispensed with that there are also significant cost savings in UV curing inks surrender.
- a housing 1 with side walls 4, 5 is provided.
- This housing is open at its lower end, which too has an impression cylinder 14 which is a hollow cylinder and the latter Wall coolant passages 17, through which, for example Water can flow.
- an impression cylinder 14 which is a hollow cylinder and the latter Wall coolant passages 17, through which, for example Water can flow.
- the side wall 5 with the cylinder surface defines a gap 8
- a gap 9 is provided; the two columns 8, 9 are shown in the Embodiment approximately 2 mm wide.
- the rotating cylinder transports a substrate which before entry into the housing 1 as a hardness level has been coated with a layer.
- Nozzle bodies are provided on the outer surfaces of the side walls 4, 5, wherein between these nozzle bodies 6a, 7a and the surface of the Backing cylinder transporting substrate also provided gaps are the width of columns 8, 9 correspond.
- a reflector 2 which is in its top area is curved and the rays of a UV lamp 3 directly on the continuous substrate aligns with that applied to the substrate To dry or harden the layer.
- Both the housing 1 and the Reflector 2 are interspersed with coolant channels 15, 16 so that these parts can be tempered or cooled if through these channels 15, 16 a cooling medium, preferably water, circulates.
- a purge gas source Q which has a purge gas for the hardness stage feeds in or away from it.
- a purge gas line extends for this purpose 11 from the purge gas source Q via a gas flow and Flow regulator 10 through an opening 12a in the upper housing wall and ends in a nozzle provided in the reflector 2. So that the purge gas Rinse the space below the reflector 2 and exit from columns 8, 9. Furthermore, one extends from the gas flow and quantity regulator 10 further purge gas line 12 to the nozzle body 6a, so that through the nozzle gap 6 also flushing gas is directed onto the incoming substrate, the Transport direction in Fig. 1 is indicated by an arrow.
- Another purge gas line 13 leads from the gas flow and quantity regulator to the nozzle body 7a and is connected to a nozzle gap 7.
- the purge gas can also on the outlet side of the substrate on the latter, especially act on the applied layer.
- the purge gas out the nozzle gap 7 has an additional effect by being in that of the Reflector 2 surrounding space creates a negative pressure and existing there Draws purge gas from the outlet gap 9.
- the size of this negative pressure can be adjusted by the controller 10 and a valve V, which in the Purge gas line 11 is arranged.
- Such a suction effect can also the nozzle gap 6 are exerted, from which purge gas not only on the Layer of the incoming substrate is directed. It is preferred that To make nozzle gaps 6, 7 adjustable in their flow angle, like this is described below.
- Nozzle bodies 6a and 7a are each on the outer surface of the side walls 4, 5 are located, it is also possible to integrate these bodies in the side walls.
- a nozzle body 7a is provided, which at the same time as Sun protection screen acts and is glued and screwed to the side wall.
- the nozzle gap 7 results from the fact that a further nozzle body 18 with Is held on the nozzle body 7a by means of an adjusting screw, wherein this adjusting screw has an enlarged head, the inner edge of a gradation of the nozzle body 18 is present.
- the nozzle gap 7 is adjustable in width.
- This Nozzle gap 7 is supplied with purge gas via a channel 20 which is connected to the Purge gas line 13 is in flow connection. 2 is the direction of movement of the substrate, not shown in detail, by an arrow 8 indicated, the substrate through the gap 9 between the nozzle body and Impression cylinder is guided.
- the controller 10 set the purge gas line 11 to suction operation, while the two purge gas lines 12, 13 the purge gas to the nozzle bodies 6a, 7a direct. In other words, it is up to you to choose and depending possible from the substrate to be treated, the purge gas lines 11, 12 and 13 to work as a pressure or suction line.
- a relatively high direct radiation angle means correspondingly high ones Power yield of UV light with the disadvantage of possible substrate heating, which is compensated for by appropriate cylinder cooling becomes.
- the reflected rays are on a water-cooled reflector system been mirrored.
- the housing is cooled and the Interior can be filled with gas such as Be filled with nitrogen.
- the usual light shields to protect the personnel are shown in the Embodiment designed so that they work simultaneously as a gas nozzle.
- the angle of attack is used to achieve a "peeling effect" the gas nozzle adjustable.
- the gas supply is controlled by the plant operation programmed.
- the so-called light and gas flushing bar can be independent of the UV lamp unit, i.e. in front of a printing station Removal of a rough surface from oxygen before the paint is applied.
- gas supply and discharge in the UV lamp is for these variants sensible with a combination of the regulation of the gas composition.
