Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plant for the production and processing of fibers prior to their hot pressing into fiberboard, with a refiner for grinding in particular chips into fibers, which are then subjected to steam or air pressure through a blow-line, a tube dryer, a first separator, and a gluing device and a second separator into a fiber bunker upstream of a spreading machine or directly into a spreading machine, the gluing device being integrated in a connecting pipe to the second separator and comprising a glue wetting zone which extends over a section of this connecting pipe and comprises a cylindrical inner pipe provided with air passage openings, has the glue nozzles protruding into it and a flow cross-section which is enlarged compared to the connecting pipeline and is enclosed by an outer tube which encloses an intermediate space with the inner tube which has at least one air inlet closes.
  • the fiber outlet of the first separator is fed into a bunker scale, from which the fibers then reach the second separator via the connecting pipeline, through the gluing device connected to it and via a blower connected downstream of this gluing device, from which the transport air is discharged via a blower. sucked, passed through a filter, heated in a heating device and then blown through the air passage openings of the inner tube into the glue wetting zone.
  • the flow cross-section of the inner pipe increases continuously from the entrance of the connecting pipe to the outlet, the air over four over the outer circumference of the outer tube is blown in by means of air distribution lines which are blown in via individual tubes connected in series in the longitudinal direction of the glue wetting zone and arranged inclined in the conveying direction of the fibers.
  • DE 199 30 800 A1 discloses a system in which the end section of the pipe dryer is designed as a glue wetting zone, in which the transport speed of the fiber mixture is reduced by enlarging the pipe dryer flow cross-section and a turbulent flow is thereby generated. This turbulence is further increased by injecting additional air, which is injected axially into the center of the wetting zone at the same time as the binder is injected.
  • the length of the wetting zone is about five to ten times greater than its diameter.
  • the transport speed of the fiber mixture in the glue wetting zone is reduced in this previously known method by about 100% to 300% compared to the transport speed in the dryer zone.
  • the moisture of the fiber mixture is reduced by drying to preferably 2% to 10%, so that the final moisture content of the glue fiber mixture is preferably 8-12%.
  • EP 0 728 562 A2 discloses a method and a device for wetting pneumatically conveyed particles with a fluid.
  • the fluid is sprayed into a delivery line through which the particles flow by means of nozzles.
  • the nozzles are arranged in a region of the delivery line which has a diffuser-like cross-sectional expansion.
  • the wetting zone is formed by a section of the horizontally running delivery line, it being provided that the particles pass through a drying device before reaching the wetting zone.
  • the aim is to to dry dried fibers, which tend to form lumps or clumps, economically and evenly in the air flow.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of improving the system described in the introduction in such a way that glue-spot-free fiberboard can be produced economically with low binder dosages.
  • the inner tube is cylindrical, the enlargement of its flow cross-section upstream of the glue wetting zone and a reduction of its flow cross-section downstream of the glue wetting zone from or to the initial diameter of the connecting pipeline, each via an annular cone;
  • the upstream ring cone which, like the downstream ring cone, is provided with air passage openings, is surrounded by a ring with controlled automatic sprayers, the glue nozzles of which protrude through the upstream ring cone into the inner tube;
  • the outer tube concentrically surrounds the inner tube and defines with it an annular space sealed at both ends, which has at least one compressed air connection, from which compressed air ring distributors concentrically enclosing compressed air via the outer tube is fed into the annular space;
  • the air passage openings of the inner tube have a diameter of approximately 0.1-0.5 mm.
  • the moisture of the fibers immediately after drying is of the order of about 20%, which can lead to various disadvantages when glued. Therefore, the gluing should only after one Separator downstream of dryer; the moisture of the fibers before gluing is then only about 6%.
  • the transport speed of the fiber mixture is to be reduced by the upstream ring cone over a short flow path in order to generate a turbulent flow into which the glue is injected.
  • the glue nozzles therefore protrude through the upstream ring cone, through which compressed air is also blown in, in order to prevent fibers from sticking or sticking, particularly in this area.
  • a ring cone located downstream is provided according to the invention, by means of which the flow cross section of the inner tube is reduced again to the size of its inlet. So that the dynamic pressure occurring at the downstream ring cone does not lead to the fibers attaching or sticking to the inner wall of the tube, air passage openings are also provided in the downstream ring cone.
  • the air passage openings of the inner tube have a diameter of approximately 0.1 to 0.5 mm and if the compressed air fed in has a pressure of approximately 2 bar. To limit the compressed air consumption, it is advantageous if the mutual distance between the air passage openings is approximately 2 cm.
  • a uniform fiber spraying in connection with a binder spraying that protects the inner tube wall of the glueing zone is ensured if the glue nozzles form an angle of approximately 60 ° with the longitudinal central axis of the glue wetting zone. It is advantageous if the glue nozzles are flat jet nozzles with a maximum spray angle of approximately 90 °.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a fiber processing plant
  • FIG. 2 on an enlarged scale a longitudinal section through the Glueing device indicated in Figure 1.
  • Figure 1 shows the essential components of a plant for the production and processing of fibers before their hot pressing to fiberboard.
  • a refiner 1 is provided for painting in particular chips into fibers, which are then fed with steam or air pressure through a blow-line 2 into a tube dryer 3, which is followed by a first separator 4, the fiber outlet of which is connected to a second one via a connecting pipeline 5 Separator 6 is connected.
  • a blower 7 is connected, which has an intake port for conditioned air 8.
  • a gluing device 9 is integrated which is provided by a binder
  • spreading machine upstream fiber bunker or directly into a spreading machine.
  • the gluing device 9 comprises a glue wetting zone 12 which extends over a section of the connecting pipeline 5, which in turn comprises a cylindrical inner pipe 14 provided with air passage openings 13, which has an enlarged flow cross section compared to the connecting pipeline 5 and is concentrically enclosed by an outer pipe 15 ,
  • the length of the glue wetting zone 12 corresponds approximately to 5 to 10 times the pipe diameter.
  • the flow cross-section of the inner tube 14 is approximately 20% -80% larger than that of the connecting pipeline 5.
  • the flow cross-section increases upstream of the glue wetting zone 12 and the flow cross-section downstream of the glue wetting zone 12 from or to the initial diameter of the connecting pipeline 5 one ring cone 16, 17 each, which is also provided with air passage openings 13.
  • the outer tube 15, together with the inner tube 14, defines an annular space 18 sealed at both ends into which compressed air can be blown at a pressure of preferably about 2 bar.
  • This compressed air feed into the annular space 18 takes place via the outer tube 15 concentrically enclosing compressed air ring distributors 19, which are arranged at the beginning of the glue wetting zone 12, approximately half their length and at the end of the glue wetting zone 12, each with a compressed air connection 20 and with several distributed over their scope orderly, with the annular space 18 in connection compressed air injection openings 21 are provided.
  • the cone angle ⁇ of the ring cones 16, 17 also provided with air passage openings 13 is approximately 30 °.
  • the air passage openings 13 have a diameter of approximately 0.1-0.5 mm and a mutual distance of approximately 2 cm.
  • the inlet into the glue wetting zone 12 is surrounded by a ring 22 with controlled automatic spraying devices, the glue nozzles 23 of which preferably protrude vertically through the upstream ring cone 16 into the interior of the inner tube 14.
  • the glue nozzles 23 are preferably flat jet nozzles with a maximum spray angle ⁇ of approximately 90 °.
