Definitions
- the invention relates to a granulate and a method and a device for its production according to the preambles of claims 1, 11 and 21.
- Bast, hard and leaf fibers such as flax, hemp, jute, sisal, ramie, yucca, wood, curano fibers and fibers of the banana tree are known as suitable natural fibers for reinforcing plastics and biopolymers.
- various fiber pulping treatments have to be carried out, such as the mechanical processing of the fibers in the swing arm, where the fibers are freed from wood and cockroaches, or the pretreatment of the fibers in the melt so that they are suitable for mixing for further processing.
- the starting material for the composite material being produced from two different types of fiber, the polypropylene fiber serving as the matrix and the reinforcing fiber, for example flax fiber in the form of pressed bales, tapes or rovings.
- plastic technology to produce fiber granules from plastic, in order to then either bring them together with the textile mats made of natural fibers (DE 4412636) or in the extruder together with the non-granulated natural fiber components in the form of rovings or tapes to form composite materials to process.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of offering a granulate based on renewable raw materials which is suitable as an injection molding material and which can be varied within wide limits with the addition of additives with regard to its mechanical and further physical properties.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus with which the production of the granules is possible without the plant parts used having to be pretreated.
- thermoplastic materials polypropylene and polyethylene in particular being advantageously used here.
- the thermoplastic materials can also be contained in large amounts in the granulate as recycled plastics.
- the embodiment according to claim 6 specifies a granulate composition which is characterized by the use of different plant fiber mixtures.
- the advantage lies in a further possibility of influencing the physical properties of the granulate according to the invention, such as, for example, the specific weight and the thermal insulation.
- flax, hemp, sisal, jute and wood fibers are particularly suitable.
- the granules according to the invention can contain up to 98% plant fibers, the binding of the plant fibers to one another being achievable via the additives contained. This means that particularly light granules can be obtained here.
- a granular composition based on the vegetable fiber using thermoplastic materials is specified.
- a major advantage of the method according to the invention is entered in the further development according to claim 12, in which the starting mixtures used as plant parts do not have to be pretreated, but can be subjected to the method immediately in non-or even roughly comminuted form.
- known additives such as dyes, adhesives, flame retardants, fillers and antibiotic agents can be added so that the granules obtained can be used directly, for example in an injection molding process. As a result, the finished products are created without further post-processing.
- a pressing pressure is advantageously generated by the configurations according to FIG Claims 16 to 18 in connection with the formation of the press channels of the dies according to claim 30.
- the method according to the invention advantageously allows the addition of thermoplastic substances both in the first granulation stage and before the second granulation stage to be made possible by the configuration according to claim 19.
- the size of the pressure can be regulated according to the embodiment of claim 20 by changing the distance between the counter rotating dies or between die and Koller.
- a particular advantage of this method is that all natural fibers and their mixtures can be used in connection with the device according to claim 21.
- no special fiber digestion processes are to be used, as a result of which all known natural fibers are available for processing.
- pre-granules can be produced inexpensively, which contain a high proportion of vegetable fiber materials.
- Composites are produced that are light in weight and that meet the requirements for mechanical properties in terms of tensile strength, bending strength, susceptibility to breakage and cracking and are also very environmentally friendly because they can be recycled.
- Such products can be used to e.g. the entire interior, including headlining, door trim, side panels inside and outside, seat components, instrument panels and columns, etc. to manufacture a vehicle entirely from natural fiber materials.
- FIG. 2 shows a representation of the pressure distribution in the case of various Koller profiles
- FIG. 3 shows a configuration of the press channels a) in the case of compressible starting material b) in the case of highly compressible starting material c) in the case of highly concentrated fiber granules
- FIG. 6 shows a sectional view of the matrices running into one another with drive
- FIG. 7 shows a construction of the end pelletizer with matrices running into one another
- Fig. 11 is a schematic representation of the end pelletizer with opposing dies and Fig. 12 is a detailed view of the matrices running against each other with openings and press channels.
- the device according to the invention according to FIG. 1 consists of a pre-granulation unit 216 and a final granulator 211.
- the pre-granulation unit 216 has feeders 201, 202 and 203, via which the starting material to be processed, in particular pourable material, is fed to a mixing chamber 215. All soft starting materials, such as the plant part mixtures and also individual plant types, film granules made from recycled materials, are fed into the mixing space via the feed 203.
- the feeders 201 and 202 are provided to the hard starting materials such as dyes, coupling agents or fillers, for. B. titanium dioxide or all metals and their alloys.
- High-pressure nozzles 204 and 205 are arranged along the circumference of the pre-granulation unit 216 in such a way that they protrude into the mixing chamber 215 and allow water or steam to be introduced there.
- the water entered can contain various additives, such as anti-mold agents, odors and bacterial infections or flame retardants.
- the high-pressure nozzle 205 is designed as an angle nozzle.
- baffle plate 206 which is shaped as a pointed cone.
- the resulting swirling mixes the feed materials better.
- a flat die press known per se, which consists of a perforated die 209 and a roller 208 which can be rolled on it and which is secured with a lock nut 207.
- the material in the mixing room 215 is here by means of the roller 208 through pressing channels 217 of the die matrix 209. In this case, both the press channels 217 and the surface of the roller 208 have an inventive design.
- a sawtooth profile is applied to the surface of the roller 208. The higher the proportion of plant fiber in the starting material, the steeper and deeper the flanks of the sawtooth profile are.
- This sawtooth profile causes the material to be subjected to even greater shear stress due to high shear, and is therefore more intensively mixed and crushed.
- the pressure build-up and the pressure distribution of a sawtooth profiling in comparison to the known symmetrical profilings is shown in FIG. 2. This clearly shows that a lower pressure builds up when the profiling is symmetrical and weak (FIG. 2, pressure curve la). The pressure increases with more pronounced symmetrical profiling (FIG. 2, pressure curve 2a) and is highest with sawtooth profiling (FIG. 2, pressure curve 3a).
- the Koller 208 rolls on the die die 209, which is equipped with the press channels 217, the number and diameter of which significantly determine the specific design of the granules according to the invention.
- the geometric shape of the pressing channels 217 also has an influence on the heat development and thus on the temperature and on the density of the granules to be produced.
- 3a, b and c show various geometrical configurations of the press channels 217 according to the invention.
- expansion slots have relief slots 218 on the output side.
- these relief slots 218 have regular and symmetrical shapes, as can be seen in FIGS. 3a, b or c.
- the pressure channel 217 is crimped on the output side by means of a stamp made of tool steel.
- the longer relief slots 218 according to FIG. 3 c are used in the case of larger proportions of vegetable fibers in the starting material.
- a clearing device 210 for stripping off the granules that have passed is arranged below the die matrix 209 and can be adjusted to the position of the roller 208. This granulate can now be removed for further processing. However, if the proportion of the plant constituents in the starting mixture is more than 60%, the quality of the granules produced with the pre-granulator 216 can be significantly improved by a downstream end granulator 211. The pre-granules are therefore transferred immediately or after further mixing, if necessary, in a mixing chamber (not shown separately) with other additives via a pre-granulate outlet 213 into the final granulator 211.
- the end granulator 211 contains an arrangement of counter-rotating, cylinder-shaped matrices 1 and 2, as also shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 11 and 12, which are arranged next to one another on a machine table 15.
- the die 1 is rotated by a drive 6, the movement of which is transmitted via a belt 7, a belt wheel 8 to a receiving part 4, which lies in a ball bearing 3 and in turn holds the die 1.
- the belt 7 can be tensioned, which is protected with a corresponding covering 9.
- the second subordinate die 2 is arranged radially displaceably on a dovetail guide 28.
- the die 2 can be moved in the direction of the die 1 with a hydraulic adjusting and pressure cylinder 10, which is attached to a height-adjustable support bracket 13 via a joint 12. This movement is limited by a stop 23.
- the die 2 is also rotated by the die 1 via a hard rubber surface 11 arranged on the end face.
- the adjustable clearing combs 17 arranged inside the dies 1 and 2
- the material pressed through is separated off and conveyed by broaching augers 19 into a granulate discharge housing 16 by means of the electric drive 18.
- This is mounted with an inner die cover housing 24 on a fixed shaft 27, with a counter-holder 26 being arranged at the other end.
- the matrices 1 and 2 are covered by the housing 22, on which hinged covers are attached by means of hinges.
- the granulate inlet housing 21 is arranged on the housing 22.
- the directions of rotation of dies 1 and 2 are marked with arrows. If the die 2 is in a raised position, removed from the die 1, it assumes a position 20.
- a hydraulic unit 14 for controlling the lateral movement of the die 2 is arranged in the machine table 15.
- FIGS. 4, 5, 6 and 7 show a further embodiment variant of the end granulator 211, in which, as described below, ring matrices which run into one another according to the invention are arranged.
- the centerpiece of the end granulator 211 are the cylindrical ring matrices 101 and 102 arranged one inside the other (FIG. 8), the throughput quantities of the starting material being able to be influenced via the width of the ring matrices 101 and 102.
- An outer larger driven ring die 101 is mounted with its receiving part 4 in a ball bearing 3 and is driven electrically or hydraulically by a drive 6 by a high-performance belt 107 or a high-performance belt wheel 108.
- the small inner ring die 102 is rotatably arranged on a swivel bar 111, the directions of rotation of the ring die 101 and 102 being indicated by arrows.
- the selected diameter of the smaller ring die 102 depends on the fiber content of the material to be granulated or of the pre-granulate.
- the diameter ratio of the ring matrices 101 and 102 determines the pressure range. With a large ring die 101 and a small ring die 102, for example, a small pressure area with high pressure is generated. In principle, the diameter of the smaller ring die 102 can be one third to two thirds of the diameter of the large ring die 101.
- the diameter size can be adapted according to the invention without great effort and is necessary in order to be able to produce granules with different fiber contents and additives.
- the swivel beam 111 of the ring die 102 is fastened at the rear end with a joint 112 to an element 113 which, depending on the state of wear or wear of the ring die 102, serves to gradate the height and align it with the center of the joint. With a hydraulic adjusting and pressure cylinder 10, the contact pressure of the inner ring die 102 is generated or this ring die 102 is brought into the waiting or assembly position.
- the mobility of the swivel beam 111 is limited by a Fixed stop 23, which secures the minimum gap between the ring matrices 101 and 102 and prevents the metal matrices 101 and 102 from rubbing against one another.
- the ring die 102 can spring back due to the hydraulics and would then take the position 120 and thus protect the system from destruction.
- an adjustable and adjustable clearing comb 17 is attached below the outer ring die 101, while the granules emerging in the interior of the ring die 102 are conveyed into the granule outlet housing 16 by means of the auger 19 moved by the electric drive 118.
- the filling material e.g. the pre-granulate passes through the granulate inlet housing 21 with housing hinge 122 into the area above the ring die 102.
- the circumferential outer ring die 101 and its drive device are protected by a housing covering 9, the front covers of which are designed to be pivotable.
- Flax straw, jute straw, hemp straw as well as flax, jute, hemp and sisal fibers, other parts of plants and their mixtures are used as raw materials. These plant parts are cut, corrugated and dried for harvesting, as well as processed into a bale shape. It is also conceivable to use fine, medium and coarse structured cockroaches as well as rovings or tapes made from mixtures of the fiber types mentioned. The straw is dry and good stored ventilated, storage is easily possible for a good 3 years.
- the base material, flywheel or plant row pressed into bales is used.
- a residual bar content of up to 10 percent by weight is possible. These impurities do not interfere, but act like fillers. Small stones that would destroy the extruder using conventional technology do not hinder this process.
- the plant parts are then fed to a known bale opener. When using different fibers, such as flax, sisal, jute, these are each processed in a so-called bale cradle opener, so that the fiber mixture can be created by weighing according to certain proportions by weight. All conditions are possible and are only determined by the following areas of application.
- the components are usually shortened to a maximum length of 50 mm using two cutting machines or alternatively with an opening roller to the desired fiber length of maximum 50 mm.
- the starting material is passed over the heavy parts separator and metal separator in order to remove large impurities.
- vigorous mixing of the plant components supplied takes place over several stages.
- a mixture of, for example, 30% flax, 30% sisal and 32% jute fibers is now pneumatically fed to a pre-granulation unit 216 in order to reduce the fiber mixture to 5 mm in diameter at a compression ratio which is formed from the ratio of the length of the compression channels 217 to the diameter of the Pre-granulate press channels 217 of 1: 6 at 120 ° C to 130 ° C.
- the fiber mixture is sprayed with a water mist, which contains agents to prevent the formation of odors or mold and against bacterial attack.
- thermoplastic materials such as polypropylene in order to obtain granules for a wide variety of applications.
- Thermoplastic materials can be added in powder form, as well as in fiber or granulate form.
- a portion of natural fibers can also be replaced by refurbished recycling material, e.g. was obtained from the recycling of used composites.
- the pre-granulation works according to the known principle of press agglomeration, so that the pre-comminuted mixture is applied to the perforated die 209 provided with press channels 217 and the fiber material is pressed through the press channels 217 of the perforated die 209 by rolling over the roller 208.
- the granulation process stabilizes after 15 minutes and a dry granulate which can be easily metered is formed.
- the pre-granules pressed through the press channels 217 of the die matrix 209 are gravimetrically mixed in a further mixing chamber with a color masterbatch and continuously dispensed into the final granulator 211 in a metered manner.
- the press ratio is 1: 8 for a diameter of the press channels 217 of 4 mm and 1:10 for a diameter of 3 mm in the case of 92% pre-granulate and 8% color masterbatch.
- the throughput is increased by profiling the surface of the roller 208 and the number of press channels 217 on the punch die 209. The choice of the ratio of the closed area to the open area on the perforated die 209 and the regulation of the gap width between the surface of the roller 208 and the perforated die 209 make it possible to process a wide variety of fiber mixtures.
- Granules leaving the final granulator 211 are filled, cooled, welded airtight and then handed over to the user. It can now e.g. B. be fed directly to the spraying machine via a gravimetric metering device in the desired ratio with a pure plastic granulate.
- the straw cut to 3 to 5 mm in the pre-granulation unit 216 is injected with water spray with dissolved additives against mold formation, against bacterial attack and odor formation at a press ratio of 1: 6 at 120 ° C. to 130 ° C. as described pre-granulated, the pre-granulated material having a pellet diameter of 6 mm. 35 percent by weight of the pre-granules are then mixed with 35 percent by weight of a first plastic granulate and 30 percent by weight of a second plastic granulate.
- the thickness of the dies 1 and 2 of the end granulator 211 is 30 mm in the area of the press channels 217, the diameter the dies 1 and 2 is 440 mm and is provided with press channels 217 of 3 mm diameter, relief notches 218 being designed on the press channels 217 and a press ratio of 1: 8 having to be maintained.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un granulat ainsi qu'un procédé et un dispositif pour la production de granulats. L'objectif de l'invention est de permettre l'obtention d'un granulat à base de matières premières renouvelables, qui puisse être utilisé comme matériau à mouler par injection et dont on puisse faire varier les caractéristiques mécaniques et d'autres caractéristiques physiques sur une large plage, par incorporation d'additifs. Le procédé selon l'invention offre l'avantage résidant dans le fait que la production du granulat peut se faire sans prétraitement particulier des éléments végétaux utilisés. Pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé, on utilise un dispositif qui peut être constitué d'un prégranulateur et d'un granulateur terminal, et éventuellement seulement d'un prégranulateur. On obtient un granulat particulièrement propre grâce aux différentes configurations du granulateur terminal, lequel peut être pourvu, par exemple, de matrices tournant l'une contre l'autre ou bien de matrices tournant l'une dans l'autre.
