Definitions
- the present invention relates to installations for producing a nonwoven web commonly known by the generic name of "spunbond” and which is formed by continuous synthetic filaments.
- the generator of a curtain of filaments most often comprises an extruder intended to extrude a molten organic polymer in a die pierced with multiple holes so as to form a curtain of filaments and below the die a device for cooling the curtain filaments.
- the curtain filament stretching device generally has opposite side walls and opposite end walls defining an oblong inlet slot for receiving the filaments as well as an oblong outlet slot from which the filaments exit.
- a slit-shaped passage extends between the inlet and the outlet and the filaments pass therein being stretched by the introduction of an air current into the slit-shaped passage which is sufficient to stretch the filaments .
- Below this device with a stretch for the filaments of the curtain is the diffuser which is intended to widen the curtain which enters it. The sheet which thus forms on the receiving conveyor located below the diffuser is thus more homogeneous.
- the invention aims to further improve the homogeneity of the sheet, which also results in an improvement in appearance and in mechanical strength.
- the diffuser is mounted at a distance from the drawing slot and there is provided a device for electrostatic separation of the filaments from one another, at the bottom of the drawing slot device or in the diffuser.
- This electrostatic separation device is notably mounted at the top of the diffuser, for example in the tallest three quarters and, preferably, in the tallest quarter.
- the electrostatic device which has the effect of creating a mutual repulsion of the curtain filaments regardless of their position in the curtain, the effect of uniformizing the speed of the filaments created by the diffuser and the electrostatic effect at the heart of the curtain.
- the curtain is as homogeneous as possible.
- the electrostatic separation device by acting by the electrostatic separation device on the filaments while they are still well connected, either at the outlet of the stretching device or at the start of the diffuser, it is possible to maintain the supply voltage. of the electrostatic separation device at a relatively low value, for example between 10 and 40 kv, which avoids the formation of electric arcs which would produce serious defects in the sheet. The installation's electricity consumption remains low.
- the diffuser is at a distance from the stretching device, in particular at a distance of 3 to 20 mm, with a preference of 5 to 13 mm.
- This distance makes it possible to have a lateral air inlet on each side of the diffuser by venturi effect, the air ejected from the stretching slot at high speed (about 50 to 60 meters per second) generating a strong suction at the entry Streamer.
- the amount of air sucked in by venturi effect is a function of the speed of the air ejected through the stretching slot) as well as the distance separating the stretching slot from the diffuser.
- the width of the top of the diffuser passage is advantageous for the width of the top of the diffuser passage to be very slightly greater, for example, from 2 to 5 mm than that of the stretching slot which makes it face, so as to avoid that a part of the filaments leaving the drawing gap touch the walls of the diffuser, which would cause the appearance of numerous defects. Good results have been obtained for a width of the stretching slot of between 5 and 15 mm and correspondingly a width of the top of the passage of the diffuser of between 7 and 20 mm.
- At least one lateral opening and up to five lateral openings on one of the walls or on the two walls of the diffuser are provided at least one lateral opening and up to five lateral openings on one of the walls or on the two walls of the diffuser.
- These openings which extend over the entire length of the diffuser and which open to the outside, make it possible to balance the static pressure which is established in the diffuser, which avoids detachment of the air veins on the walls.
- These openings can have widths of 3 to 10 mm. They prevent edge effects and make it possible to standardize the speed profile at the outlet of the diffuser, which results in a better distribution of the fibers on the conveyor.
- the diffuser consists of two divergent plates, the angle between the two plates being between 3 ° and 30 ° and, preferably between 3 ° and 10 °, and being able to be adjusted so as to optimize the slowing of the air in the diffuser and the speed of the air ejected from the diffuser before the filaments are deposited on the conveyor.
- This allows the speed to be adjusted according to the characteristics of the product produced, the grammage, the titer of the filaments and the like. Good results have been obtained with a diffuser of a length included between 100 and 600 mm while the distance between the bottom of the diffuser and the conveyor is between 50 and 500 mm.
- the electrostatic separation device comprises needles which, preferably, are set back from the passage defined in the diffuser, for example by about one mm relative to the surface of the wall, so as to prevent filaments from coming agglomerate with the needles during the start-up phase of the installation.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an installation according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a sectional view of the diffuser and, Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the upper part of the diffuser of Figure 2.
- the installation comprises an extruder 1 supplied with synthetic polymer and a die 2 making it possible to form a curtain of filaments 3.
- the die consists of a plate comprising a multitude of holes having a diameter which depends on the extruded filaments. These holes are distributed over a plurality of parallel rows. There are for example 18 rows on a die width of 140 mm.
- a cooling assembly 4 making it possible to lower the temperature of the filaments and composed of a plurality of successive zones 4a, 4b, 4c which allows the filament curtain 3 to be subjected to air flows whose speed and temperature can be adjusted.
- the length of this cooling zone can be of the order of 1200 mm.
- a conventional slot 5 stretching device 5 Downstream and therefore below this cooling assembly 4 is arranged a conventional slot 5 stretching device 5. It is composed of two walls defining between them a passage in the form of a slot F, inside of which air is injected under pressure, for example under 0.5 bar.
- This slotted stretching device allows the curtain of filaments to be drawn in and drawn in by air streams at high speeds, which stretches the filaments.
- This device essentially comprises two plates 8 and 9 opposite, in one of which is provided a housing for receiving a bar 10 of an electrically conductive material, bar from which come, in the direction of the wall 8, needles 11 which nevertheless do not do not protrude from the inner face 12 of the wall 9.
- the wall 8 and the bar 10 are connected to a current generator 13, so that an electric field is established between the needles 11 and the wall 8.
- a diffuser 6 from 100 to 600 mm in length.
- This diffuser 6 shown in particular in Figure 2 has two walls 14, 15 forming an angle of 5 ° between them and each provided with three openings 16 extending over the entire length.
- the diffuser 6 is located 10 mm from the bottom of the stretching device 5 and the width d of the stretching slot is just less than the width D of the top of the passage defined by the diffuser 6.
- the electrostatic device 17 In the wall 15 of the diffuser 6 is mounted the electrostatic device 17 of the same type as the device 10, 11, 13 shown in Figure 3.
- Below the diffuser 6 is a conventional conveyor 7 spaced 50 to 500 mm from the diffuser.
- the electrostatic separator is located at the bottom of the stretch slot device.
