Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the production of wood-based panels, in particular of fibreboards in semi-dry process according to the preamble of claim 1 and a system for carrying out the method of claim 28.
  • a method or such a system is known from WO 98/41372 known.
  • Fibrous boards which are produced in the semi-dry or wet process, have a very low adhesive content of about 0.5 - 1%, or some fiberboard are produced entirely without adhesive.
  • an adhesive content of, for example, 12% causes up to 30% of the cost of producing an MDF board, and as the cost of petroleum increases, the cost of the adhesive continues to rise, making the fiberboard very expensive.
  • Fibrous plates from the semi-dry and wet process are so far pressed only on discontinuous multi-floor systems.
  • a large amount of polluted sewage is produced, on the one hand during the formation of nonwoven fabric via a wire and, on the other hand, during the hot pressing.
  • This process was further developed in the 40 and 50 years to the semi-dry process to reduce wastewater pollution.
  • There are a number of protective rights U.S. Patent 2,757,115 ; U.S. Patent 2,757,148 ; U.S. Patent 2,757,149 and U.S. Patent 2,757,150 ).
  • a small amount of water is also squeezed out of the mat during the semi-dry process at the beginning of the hot pressing.
  • the pressing time for a 3 mm fibreboard is about 4 minutes, which in the dry process is just under 1 minute.
  • the multi-floor press must have a large number of floors (up to 35 units) to ensure that the capacity of the system is sufficient for operation. Due to the high number of floors, the presses are expensive. The operating costs of such a system are due to the multi-day press also very high.
  • the fibers In the semi-dry process, the fibers must be dried to a moisture content of less than 35% so that they can be formed into a fiber mat without the use of a wire. At higher humidities, the fibers are matted, so that a pneumatic or mechanical scattering is not possible is. After scattering the fiber mat is pre-pressed continuously and divided into individual fiber mat sections according to the floor size by means of a saw. These mat sections are transported on screens or metal wire mesh, which are often still mounted on sheets, in the loading basket, where they vary in length depending on the floor.
  • the fiber mat sections are dried to a moisture content of about 18% and, after the pre-press, water is sprayed onto the top of the fiber mat. Due to the water, the fiber mat moisture in front of the press rises to about 32%. Since at the beginning of the pressing the water is only on the upper side and therefore heats up the top faster than the bottom, the fiber mat top is plasticized at the beginning of the pressing more than the bottom.
  • the sieves and sheets are transported back to the form strand after pressing around the press or under the press, which takes a few minutes.
  • the screens must be cleaned in some plants with water. During transport and cleaning, the screens and sheets cool. They must then be heated to the heating plate temperature of 190 ° C at the beginning of the pressing, which takes 20 - 60 seconds.
  • the specific pressure is reduced and the fiber mat is dried in 2 - 4 minutes to about 8% moisture, with the water vapor is discharged through the sieve.
  • the specific pressure is usually adjusted so that it is slightly larger than the vapor pressure in the fiber mat. This prevents the fiber mat from bursting in the press.
  • the fiber mat is compacted at a specific pressure of about 3 N / mm 2 to the final thickness and dried to about 2% moisture. A path control of the individual floors can not be performed, the fiberboard therefore have high thickness tolerances.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide a method and to provide a system with which a fiberboard with little or no adhesive can be produced and with which the pressing time can be drastically shortened, and the properties of the plate and the thickness tolerances of the plate can be improved ,
  • the system for carrying out the method according to claim 28 is that there is a continuously operating press with the pressing pressure transmitting and the fiber mat passing through the press nip endless steel belts as press, the steel belts are guided circumferentially about drive frame and idler pulleys around the frame top and the frame base , Which are supported with adjustable press nip on revolving, guided with their axes transverse to the strip running direction rolling bars relative to the compassionober- and frame base, wherein the rolling rods are guided at both ends in guide chains, that before and between the scattering station and the continuously operating press several on the Hot water spraying devices and devices for applying release agents are arranged on the conveyor belt and directed towards the surfaces of the fiber mat, from the continuously operating press a pre-press with steam preheating device and upper and lower wire belt v is seen, the continuously operating press as a storage for the fiber mat and water and steam removal from the fiber mat an existing stainless material, with the lower steel belt circumferentially guided, endless metal fabric belt, which led before entering the press ni
  • the pressing time can be significantly reduced compared to the known cyclic half-drying processes.
  • the pressing time for a 4 mm thick fiberboard is reduced from 4 minutes to about 1 minute (see Table 1).
  • a significant advantage is that the heating of the fiber mat is drastically reduced by the steam preheating of the fiber mat to at least 100 ° C. At this temperature, the viscosity of the water decreases, whereby the flow resistance is reduced and the water can be squeezed faster from the mat.
  • the steam preheating of the fiber mat to 100 ° C is particularly advantageous in the production of fibreboard with a thickness greater than 4 mm, as this, the press time reduction is particularly high.
  • the table shows selected process parameters during hot pressing in a continuous press according to the method of the invention for a 4 mm thick fiberboard.

  • the fiber mat in the continuous press can also be pressed with a hotplate temperature higher than 190 ° C, because the pressing time is shorter and at the end of the pressing the fiberboard can be cooled. As a result, the pressing time is significantly reduced.
  • increasing the pressure plate temperature is not possible due to the risk of steam bursting, especially the upper surface layer.
  • the risk of topcoat bursting is significantly reduced.
  • a predetermined path-pressure program can be regulated very accurately in the continuous press, wherein the continuous press is preferably designed so that very large deformations per meter of press length are possible in the transport direction.
  • the press nip can be optimally adapted to the individual phases.
  • the press nip can be enlarged so far that just surface blemishes are avoided. This reduces the flow resistance perpendicular to the surface in the fiber mat and the fiberboard can be dried faster.
  • the fiber board can be relieved after an optimized program at the end of the pressing. In connection with the cooling of the fiber mat surface, the moisture content of the fiberboard must not be below 2%. be reduced, which on the one hand shortens the curing phase and in the subsequent air conditioning of the plate is beneficial.
  • the fiberboard has a more even distribution of moisture over the slab cross-section.
  • the continuous compression according to the invention also leads to significantly reduced electrical and thermal energy costs.
  • the loading and unloading about 70% more electrical energy per m 3 of produced fiberboard is required compared to the continuous process according to the invention, since a much higher connected load must be installed.
  • the multi-day press including the required sieves has higher radiation losses, more thermal energy is required to operate the press.
  • a multi-day press on average with higher press plate temperatures pressed. Since the temperature in the continuous press is lowered significantly towards the end of the pressing, less water is needed and evaporated from the fiber mat and thus less energy is brought into the fiber board.
  • the steam preheating steam with a low vapor pressure below 3 bar can be used, which is available as a very favorable steam from the fiber processing available. This also reduces the cost of the heating energy at the beginning of the pressing.
  • fiber-fiber bonding is achieved in two ways: on the one hand via a so-called hydrogen bond, especially of the wood constituents cellulose and hemicellulose, and on the other hand through the softened lignin.
  • hydrogen bond especially of the wood constituents cellulose and hemicellulose
  • softened lignin it is important that the individual fibers have very close contact with each other over a longer distance.
  • the wood chips are prebaked in the preheating at a temperature higher than 180 ° C, preferably 190 to 220 ° C, in the preheating in order to achieve that substances are formed in the wood by conversion processes, which lead to a better bonding during the hot pressing.
  • the formation of furfural is promoted by the formation of acids in the preheater.
  • the formation of acids is supported by the high temperature in the preheating.
  • Furfural promotes condensation reactions between the wood components.
  • acid - such as sulfuric acid - may be added, which also promotes the formation of furfural.
  • Hardwoods usually produce more sticky substances than softwoods. Therefore, deciduous trees are particularly suitable for this process.
  • the fiber mat can be scattered by means of a single scattering machine or the fibers are divided after production in the refiner into coarse and fine fibers or already prepared separately by means of two refiners.
  • the coarse fibers are then preferably scattered into the center of the fiber mat as the middle layer and the fine fibers as the cover layer.
  • the fibers must not be dried below a moisture content of 16% or the fibers must not a humidity of 16% fall below, otherwise they verborn. Horny fibers only form an insufficient hydrogen bond. This means that care must also be taken during the transport of the fibers that the moisture content is not undershot. Since during transport of the fiber in the air stream with air of a relative humidity lower than the equilibrium moisture content of the fiber, the fibers quickly release moisture, either the transport air must be air-conditioned by, for example, steam injection or the fibers should have a slightly higher humidity after the dryer as having on the forming belt.
  • the moisture of the fiber mat is increased by the steam preheating depending on the preheating by the condensation of water vapor. If the entire fiber mat is warmed through, the mat moisture increases by about 7%. When about 50% of the mat is heated, the humidity increase is about 4%.
  • the method must be controlled in any case so that the fiber mat moisture at the beginning of the hot pressing is not less than 25% and not more than 35%, because if the humidity is below 25%, only insufficient wood-specific adhesive joints can be formed. Then the consumption of glue increases very strongly. If the humidity is over 35%, on the other hand, the pressing time is greatly increased due to the longer drying period.
  • the fiber mat surface In order to obtain a closed fibreboard surface with a high density and to protect the steel strips from soiling, it is favorable to spray water onto the fiber mat surface in a total amount of 20-700 g / m 2 , depending on the consistency of the fibers and the fiberboard thickness.
  • the water can also be sprayed onto the conveyor belt or onto the sieve belt during steam preheating. It is also favorable to spray release agent onto the fiber mat surface and / or the conveyor belt so that the fibers do not stick to the metal fabric belt during the preheating, the conveyor belt, the steel belts and the metal belt in the continuously operating press.
  • the amount of water that is sprayed on before the steaming should not be so large that there is free water on the fiber mat surface, as it then comes to problems in the vaporization by an uneven condensation of steam and uncontrollable conditions.
  • a larger amount of water than 60 g / m 2 can be sprayed onto the fiber mat only after the steaming in the pre-press with steam preheating.
  • the water should preferably be heated to temperatures of 60-95 ° C before spraying. Since the residence time of the water from the spraying to the fiber mat contact with the steel strip in the continuous press is very short, this water is almost not absorbed by the fibers and thus affects the density profile only insignificantly. From Another advantage is that the water is only sprayed from above onto the fiber mat. The water is then evaporated immediately on contact with the steel strip and can only flow vertically into the fiber mat.
  • the vapor formed does not penetrate into the fiber mat.
  • the steam flows over the metal fabric belt from the press against the transport direction towards the inlet and transverse to the transport direction to the edge of the press.
  • the moisture of the fiber mat is then not increased and the pressing time is not shortened.
  • a larger amount of water must not be sprayed on the fiber mat side, which faces the metal fabric tape, since the moisture of the fiber mat would then not increased and the pressing time would not be shortened.
  • the fibers must be dried to a moisture content which, in addition to the moisture due to the vapor deposition, the water spraying and the water from the release agent application, is within the abovementioned range.
  • the amount of sprayed-on water and the added amount of steam must be measured separately for the upper and lower fiber mat sides.
  • the amount of steam required to heat the water sprayed on and taken up by the wood can be calculated from the water temperature and the sprayed water Calculate amount of water.
  • the amount of steam needed to heat the fibers can be calculated from the initial temperature and humidity of the fibers.
  • the penetration depth of the steam is determined separately for the upper and lower bobbins due to the measured and controlled amount of steam.
  • the moisture distribution over the fiber mat cross section is directly determinable.
  • appropriate measuring devices - such as microwave measuring devices - the moisture distribution over the fiber mat cross section can also be measured.
  • the knowledge of the moisture and the moisture distribution over the fiber mat cross-section immediately before the continuously operating press is important both for the formation of a sufficient bond and a minimum pressing time as well as for the formation of the density profile of importance. For a low pressing time is favorable to steam the fiber mat over the entire cross-section and spray as much hot water on the fiber mat.
  • the density profile of the finished fiberboard should be measured immediately after the continuous press. Fibrous plates from the semi-dry process often have no significant density reduction in the Fiberboard center on. Fiberboards produced in the dry process show a density minimum in the middle of the fibreboard, which leads to higher bending strengths with the same material input. It has now been found that fibreboards with similar density profiles as are produced by the dry process can be produced by the process according to the invention. For this purpose, not the entire fiber mat cross section should be preheated and softened with steam, but only the outer layers.
  • the evaporation depth must be reduced by reducing the amount of steam introduced and possibly the amount of water sprayed on be increased. Also important is an increased heating of the metal fabric strip temperature in the inlet to the continuously operating press, which should be at least 40 ° C higher than the temperature of the steel strips in the inlet to the continuously operating press. A separate control of the top and bottom heating circuit of the press plates has proved to be advantageous.
  • the temperature of the fiber mat in the outer layers is also slightly higher than in the cycle. It has been found that this higher temperature promotes the formation of condensation reactions - especially of lignin - so that In the method according to the invention a firmer fiber to fiber bond can be achieved. Slightly better bending properties can therefore be achieved with the same adhesive content.
  • the transverse tensile strength of the fiber boards produced in the laboratory process according to the invention are slightly lower at the edge of the fiber board than in the center of the fiber board. This is caused by the fact that the curing temperature at the edge is slightly lower.
  • the curing temperature is lower in the fiber mat because the steel belts, the press plates and the rolling bars are cooler at the edge than in the center of the press. They cool by the escaping water and the circulating air.
  • the press plates are 50 mm wider on each press side than the fiber mat. It has now been found that by increasing the distance from the edge of the press plate to the fiber mat to ⁇ 100 mm, the curing temperature at the edge is higher and the transverse tensile strength of the fiberboard at the edge is significantly improved.
  • the fiber mat can be scattered at the edge even with a higher basis weight, which can also achieve an increase in the transverse tensile strength.
  • the continuous fiberboard strand produced in accordance with the invention is subjected to after-treatment after a size-spreading, as in the conventional semi-dry process, to improve the properties.
  • the fiberboard are passed through a heat channel or stacked warm in a heated hall.
  • the heat treatment of the fiber boards at temperatures between 110 ° and 200 ° C after the continuous press increases the bonding of the individual fibers, which improves the bending properties and the swelling values.
  • the fiberboard can be warmly stacked or pulled as a package through a heat channel.
  • the metal fabric belt in the continuous press has the function to allow drainage and Entdampfung the fiber mat.
  • the metal fabric belt must therefore have a structure which allows a removal of the water and the water vapor within the structure perpendicular to the transport direction without large flow resistance. This means that a larger free cross-section is present within the metal fabric belt transversely to the transport direction.
  • the continuous press can be performed in a width of more than 4 m, since the fiber plate is drained and evaporated only on the metal fabric belt.
  • the metal fabric tape to the fiber mat side may have a smooth or coarse structure. Usually a smooth structure is desired if the fiberboard is to be coated later. For individual applications, a coarse structure with a screen print on the plate surface is favorable.
  • the plant is designed so that the lower steel strip is wider than the upper steel strip and covers the guide chain for guiding the rolling bars.
  • the lower steel band can then be pressed down with hold-down rollers. At these points, the water is collected and removed.
  • hold-down rollers are provided from the beginning of the press to about 20% of the press length.
  • the specific pressure is important because of the avoidance of relative movements between metal fabric belt and steel strip due to thermal expansion and thus avoidance of scratches on the steel strip. Since this process mainly produces thin fiberboard, the metal fabric tape must not have any thickness tolerances greater than ⁇ 0.075 mm. The thickness tolerance would also show up in the product and lead to a larger cut.
