Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for vacuum impregnation of small-part material.
  • small-part material includes z. B. vegetable fiber raw materials (straw shavings, wood chips, natural fibers), as used for example for the production of press plates, and granular or fibrous plastic material, the z. B. can be used as filler or woven fabric.
  • Such a vacuum impregnation method and a corresponding device are known from DE 199 11 230.
  • small-part material is introduced through a first evacuable lock chamber into an impregnation chamber and then through a second evacuable lock chamber discharged from the impregnation chamber.
  • the lock chambers are respectively closed off from the impregnation chamber by shut-off elements while the material is being carried in and out - meanwhile the lock chambers are ventilated, and are then evacuated.
  • the shut-off elements to the impregnation chamber are then opened and the material can be conveyed into or out of the impregnation chamber.
  • the impregnation chamber remains evacuated throughout the process. Only the lock chambers, which are smaller in volume, are alternately ventilated and evacuated.
  • the pumping time and the size of the lock chambers are competing factors, which disadvantageously cannot be reduced at the same time. This limits the throughput speed of the device.
  • the device is comparatively susceptible to malfunction, since the opening and closing shut-off elements are sensitive to contamination, for example from the small-scale material that has been introduced. These contaminants can cause vacuum leaks, which adds undesirable downtime to the already limited throughput speed.
  • the object is achieved by a method for vacuum impregnating small-part material in an impregnation device with an evacuable impregnation chamber, an inlet opening for introducing the material into the impregnation chamber and an outlet opening for discharging the material from the impregnation device with the process steps
  • Impregnation of the material in the impregnation chamber with an impregnation agent at negative pressure Impregnation of the material in the impregnation chamber with an impregnation agent at negative pressure
  • the object is further achieved by an apparatus for performing the method.
  • the design of the method according to the invention ensures that the impregnation chamber is permanently sealed from the environment even during the introduction and / or discharge, without intermittent loading and emptying of the lock chambers and emptying or ventilating and evacuating. Shut-off elements between the lock chambers and the impregnation chamber, which are susceptible to faults, are also eliminated.
  • the substance with which the material is (pre) treated in order to obtain a treated material with improved sealing behavior is preferably a liquid impregnating agent (in particular an impregnating solution).
  • a liquid impregnating agent in particular an impregnating solution.
  • the treatment of the material is then preferably carried out by adding the liquid impregnating agent (the impregnating solution) when transporting the material to the inlet opening and preferably when compressing the material during transport to the inlet opening. This results in a material mixture with a higher density.
  • the impregnation solution forms a sealing film between the material and the surface of the means for transporting the material. Both effects, the increasing material density and the surface film, decisively improve the sealing behavior.
  • a salt solution with a concentration of 25-35% and with a density of 1.1 to 1.2 g / cm 3 can be used in the method according to the invention.
  • a saline solution has a sticky-viscous consistency.
  • the reduced flowability (increased viscosity) of the impregnation solution on the one hand and its increased binding effect ("stickiness") on the other hand further increase the formation of the plug.
  • the material plug is impervious to a drop in pressure (when entering the Impregnation chamber) as well as against an increase in pressure - in each case viewed in the conveying direction.
  • an improved sliding effect between the compressed material and, for example, the inner wall of the stuffing screws can be generated in this way, thereby reducing screw wear.
  • liquid impregnation agent in particular an impregnation solution
  • the material is pre-impregnated before it reaches the impregnation chamber. This happens, as described above, especially when compressing in the stuffing screw, that is under pressure, which advantageously shortens the impregnation time in the impregnation chamber.
  • the material is preferably introduced continuously into the impregnation chamber through the inlet opening and / or continuously discharged out of the impregnation device through the outlet opening.
  • a device for evacuating the impregnation chamber for example a vacuum pump system, provides the required negative pressure relative to the ambient pressure. This preferably takes place in that the impregnation chamber is permanently evacuated when the method according to the invention is carried out.

  • the valve is then preferably equipped with a corresponding regulation for the pressure-dependent opening or closing of the valve.
  • the material is compressed during transport to the outlet opening in order to achieve a better seal there too. It is advantageous to collect excess impregnation solution that is pressed by the compression in appropriate facilities and, if necessary, to return it for reuse.
  • the means which are preferably designed as stuffing screws, for transporting the material to the inlet opening and to the outlet opening (hereinafter referred to as the feed or discharge screw) usually have a tapering of their outer circumference in the conveying direction.
  • the ratio of the inlet cross-section to the outlet cross-section of the feed screw is typically 1.05: 1-1, 3: 1 for a single aisle-side cross section of, for example, 600 mm.
