Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for cleaning a metal strip. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for cleaning a metal strip.
- Essential requirements for a refined sheet metal product are the good machinability in the subsequent manufacturing processes and the long-term preservation of the final product. These properties are fundamentally determined by the functional layers applied to the surface of the metal strip.
- the bond between the functional layer, for example a zinc coating, and the steel strip surface is based primarily on the adhesion forces in the interface. Impurities on the surface, such as metal debris and oil or emulsion residues, reduce the adhesion.
- the functional layer can then not fulfill its task. It is applied only unevenly or it dissolves easily again under mechanical stress.
- the strip is usually brought into intensive contact with alkaline cleaning agents in a belt cleaning plant.
- the belt cleaning in a hot-dip galvanizing line is usually composed of a combination of different alkaline cleaning processes and the final aqueous rinse.
- cold rolled Belts are loaded from the rolling process with rolling emulsions and with rolling residues. Impurities of about 500 mg / m 2 per side of the belt consisting of rolling emulsions, iron abrasion and other dirt are typical. The metal strip loaded in this way must be freed of these residues from the cold rolling process before further surface finishing.
- the belt In the first part of such a belt cleaning section, the belt is brought to the required process temperature and freed from surface contamination by a hot, alkaline cleaning solution.
- the strip In the spray degassing section, the strip is intensively sprayed with the hot cleaning medium in order to heat it up to the desired temperature level and to dissolve coarse, adhering impurities.
- the metal strip When degreasing the metal strip can be guided horizontally or vertically.
- the brushing device is typically equipped with two or four Bürstrollenticianen.
- the brushes are arranged one behind the other offset with counter rollers or directly above each other for cleaning the band lower and upper side. Due to the mechanical contact of the bristles with the surface of the metal strip, there is a considerable wear of the brushes.
- the Bürstrollen usually have to be replaced about every three months, which causes significant costs.
- the electrolytic degreasing dissolves by the direct blistering on the surface of the metal strip impurities that sit deeper in the topography. This can be done with vertical or horizontal tape guide. Blistering is caused by the application of an external voltage to pairs of electrodes above and below the metal strip. For electrical insulation of the container in which the degreasing is carried out, this is carried out as a rubberized steel container. In the center conductor process, between the strip surface and the surrounding electrodes, an electrolytic reaction occurs which leads to the formation of oxygen and hydrogen bubbles. The formation of hydrogen gas requires a sophisticated safety technology to avoid the risk of explosive gas explosions. Therefore, a high amount of air for forced ventilation must constantly be supplied to the process vessel. The electrolytic degreasing is therefore associated with various disadvantages.
- the surface of the metal strip is rinsed in a multiple cascade rinse with hot, demineralized water to completely wash off the cleaning solution.
- two to four spray-washing units separated by squeezing roller units can be used in succession.
- the cascading guidance of the rinsing liquid minimizes the water consumption.
- the combination of strip edge blowing and belt dryer After completion of the belt cleaning, a complete and homogenous drying of the belt surface over the entire belt width guarantees to prevent the carryover of liquids.
- EP 0 235 595 A2 describes a belt cleaning system in which, instead of conventional brushes, high-pressure cleaning is provided following the electrolysis. Provision is made here for electrolytic pre-degreasing, mechanical cleaning by means of rotating brushes or high-pressure cleaning, further electrolytic degreasing, further mechanical cleaning by means of rotating brushes or high-pressure cleaning and a final rinsing. The procedure described requires due to the electrolysis extensive safety devices to prevent explosive gas explosions.
- a cleaning device in which the strip to be cleaned is guided into a container in which ultrasonic vibrators are arranged in the vicinity of the surface of the metal strip.
- the cavitation induced by the rapid waves kills impurities from the belt Surface off.
- the achievable with the described cleaning device cleaning level is not sufficient under all circumstances.
- Ultrasound is also used in the solution according to US 47 88 992 to clean the metal strip.
- the tape is here passed horizontally between two formed as a plate ultrasonic transducers that vibrate at different frequencies.
- the arrangement creates an ultrasonic near field around the belt to be cleaned, so that contamination is solved.
- JP 09171986 A discloses a spray nozzle with which an ultrasonic cleaning liquid is sprayed onto the band to be cleaned. Immediately in front of and behind the nozzle - as a unit with the nozzle for the ultrasonic cleaning fluid - high-pressure cleaning nozzles are positioned to improve the cleaning effect.
- EP 0 578 824 B1 leads the band to be cleaned out of a liquid container filled with cleaning liquid in order to subject it to ultrasonic cleaning in a separate chamber.
- the solution according to the US 59 75 098 also provides an ultrasonic cleaning of the strip, but here the impact of the ultrasound is directly applied with detergent from a high-pressure cleaning nozzle.
- the invention is therefore the object of a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned in such a way that the existing disadvantages are avoided. It is therefore an overall more advantageous belt cleaning method and the associated device are created, with or with the more economical, efficient and more ecological cleaning of a metal strip prior to its processing is possible.
- the metal strip is first subjected in a first area of a cleaning device of a first high-pressure cleaning with at least one liquid jet and that the metal strip is then subjected to ultrasonic cleaning in a second area of the cleaning device, wherein the Metal strip is passed through a container filled with a liquid.
- the invention thus combines the high pressure cleaning of the belt and the subsequent ultrasonic cleaning. It has been found that the sequence of these two process steps brings an improved cleaning result.
- the first region is preferably spatially spaced from the second region.
- the metal strip can be used in a third area of the cleaning device of a second high-pressure cleaning device. be subjected to at least one liquid jet. The second area is equally spaced from the third area.
- Optimum results can be achieved in that the first and optionally the second high-pressure cleaning process by at least one of the width of the metal strip to be cleaned covering liquid jet takes place, with a pressure between 50 bar and 200 bar, preferably between 100 bar and 120 bar, on the Surface of the metal strip is applied.
- the metal strip can be guided vertically in at least one of the high-pressure cleaning and / or in the ultrasonic cleaning.
- the liquid used in the first high-pressure cleaning and optionally in the second high-pressure cleaning is heated to a temperature of at least 60 ° C., preferably to a temperature of more than 80 ° C.
- the liquid used in the first high-pressure cleaning, in the ultrasonic cleaning and optionally in the second high-pressure cleaning may contain surfactants and / or phosphates. Furthermore, the liquid used can be alkaline.
- a degreasing of the metal strip prior to the first high pressure cleaning, a degreasing of the metal strip, in particular in a Dipping or spraying container to be performed.
- the degreasing of the metal strip with a medium, in particular with a cleaning medium carried out, which has a temperature of at least 60 0 C, preferably of above 80 0 C.
- a rinsing of the strip in particular a cascade rinse with water, can finally be carried out.
- the device for cleaning a metal strip is characterized by a first region in which a high-pressure cleaning device is arranged, and a second region, which is downstream in the conveying direction of the metal strip and in which an ultrasonic cleaning device is arranged, wherein the ultrasonic cleaning device comprises a container which can be filled with liquid and are arranged in the ultrasonic emission means.
- the ultrasound emission means may be arranged in each case a housing, in particular in a stainless steel housing, inside the container in which the ultrasonic cleaning takes place, on both sides of the metal strip.
- the high-pressure cleaning device and the ultrasonic cleaning device preferably have separate containers through which the metal strip is guided.
- a second high-pressure cleaning device can be arranged downstream of the ultrasonic cleaning device in the conveying direction of the metal strip area.
- the high pressure cleaning devices may have at least one high pressure nozzle bar extending across the entire width of the belt.
- the high-pressure cleaning device in the third region may also have a separate container through which the metal strip is guided.
- means for degreasing the metal strip are preferably arranged. Furthermore, means for rinsing the metal strip are preferably arranged in the conveying direction behind the second high-pressure cleaning device. Since foam formation can not be avoided in the high-pressure cleaning, it is particularly preferred that the high-pressure cleaning devices have a pitot tube pump for generating the required high pressure of the liquid.
- Such a pump consists of two main components, namely a rotating pump housing and an inner stationarily arranged pitot tube (Pitot pitot tube pressure principle).
- the fluid to be conveyed enters the rotating rotor housing through rotor channels in the inlet side via rotor channels and is brought to an increased speed.
- the centrifugal force forces the liquid to the rotor periphery, creating a suction at the inlet and an accelerated liquid ring in the rotor.
- the kinetic energy is converted to potential, i. H. it comes to an increase in pressure. In this way, pressures of up to 200 bar at a rotor speed of about 8,000 revolutions per minute can be achieved.
- the liquid in the pitot tube under constant pressure then flows to the outlet, d. H. to the high pressure side of the pump.
- the combination of the features according to the invention provides a cleaning method and a cleaning device which has a high cleaning efficiency and nevertheless allows a cost-effective mode of operation.
- no brush systems are used with mechanical contact with the belt to be cleaned, so that the wear of the system is minimal.
- FIG. 1 An embodiment of the invention is shown.
- the single figure shows schematically a cleaning device for cleaning a metal strip before its hot dip galvanizing.
- the figure shows a cleaning device 3 for cleaning a metal strip 1, which is supplied in the conveying direction F (from the left) of the device 3 and this (to the right) leaves again.
- the belt 1 runs continuously at a predetermined conveying speed through the cleaning device 3.
- the cleaning device 3 is provided in the exemplary embodiment for a high-performance hot-dip galvanizing or annealing line for cold-rolled strips 1.
- the cleaning device 3 has essentially three successive areas in the conveying direction F, namely a first area 2, a second area 5 and a third area 7.
- a first high-pressure cleaning device 4 is arranged, in the second area 5 an ultrasonic cleaning device 6 and in the third area 7, a second high-pressure cleaning device 8.
- the tape 1 is heated by immersion in hot cleaning medium (in the case of a dip tank) or by spraying with hot cleaning medium (in the case of a spray tank) and freed from easily adhering surface contamination.
- the metal strip 1 is held by means of two S-roller tracks 18 and 19 under tension.
- the entire cleaning device 3 is brushless, ie it is not - as in the prior art known and customary - rotary cleaning brushes used.
- the complete cleaning of the belt 1 is carried out solely by the means shown in the figure.
- the mechanical contact between the bristles of the brushes and the belt 1 leads to a correspondingly high level of wear, which in turn leads to high operating costs. This is avoided according to the invention.
- Another essential aspect of the invention is that dispensed equally e-lektrolytician degreasing, as they are widely used in the prior art.
- the electrolytic degreasing process requires a complex construction of the process container.
- the formation of oxygen and hydrogen gas in the process poses a security risk.
- the gas-free process according to the invention is not subject to any special conditions for the container extraction and is safety-critical.
- the first high-pressure cleaning device 4 has a separate container 13, in which high-pressure nozzle bars 14 are arranged on both sides of the band 1. In the exemplary embodiment, these are a total of four bars 14 for the vertically downwardly and vertically upwardly rising branch of the strip 1.
- the high-pressure cleaning combines the cleaning of surfaces by surface-active processes (surfactants in the cleaning medium) with the mechanical removal by kinetic energy of the liquid jet.
- the hot cleaning fluid bounces on the belt surface at high speed. Loose surface coverings are washed away. More stable layers are loosened by the kinetic energy of the impacting liquid and also washed away.
- the lipid components in the added belt cleaner partially support the cleaning process.
- the essential function of the surfactants is the binding of the removed contaminants in the liquid.
- the removed coating is bound within the liquid phase and does not come in contact with the tape surface again. In this way, a meshbefet- or a back soiling is avoided.
- the pressure required for the high-pressure cleaning of the liquid used is generated via the pitot tube pump 20.
- the cleaning medium enters the pump chamber via a suction port.
- the pump chamber in this pump is the rotor.
- the cleaning medium is brought to a very high rotational speed in the rotating pump chamber.
- the rotating body of fluid stands the stationary pitot tube. In this tube, the kinetic rotational energy of the medium is converted into potential pressure energy.
- the cost-effective use of high-pressure cleaning requires the circulation of the cleaning medium and thus the repeated passage of the multiphase liquid (consisting of the liquid phase of the cleaner and trapped gas or foam bubbles) by the pump 20. Foaming in the medium can when using an alkaline surfactant-containing cleaner not completely avoided. In centrifugal or piston pumps, even small proportions of gas in the medium lead to cavitation damage in the pump chamber and thus failure of the pump after a short time.
- the proposed pitot tube pump is characterized by a relatively high insensitivity to air or foam (gas fraction less than 10% by volume) in the delivery medium.
- the gas fractions collect centrally in the interior of the fluid body, where they can not come into contact with the changed pressure conditions in the externally stationary pitotube.
- a rapidly rotating liquid ring is formed with a gas bubble in its center of rotation. The additional external flushing of a mechanical seal reduces wear due to particles in the medium.
- the ultrasonic cleaning device 6 is arranged, in a separate container 9. Again, the band 1 is guided vertically downwards in a first branch and vertically upwards in a second branch. On either side of the band 1 - in both branches - a number of ultrasonic emission means 10 and 11 are arranged, these in a stainless steel housing 12 are housed, which are connected to the walls of the container 9.
- Ultrasonic cleaning combines the cleaning of surfaces with surface-active processes (surfactants in the belt cleaning medium) with the mechanical removal of kinetic energy from imploding gas bubbles.
- the ultrasonic vibrations lead to local pressure fluctuations in the media room. In areas where the pressure drops below the gas pressure of the dissolved gases or the vapor pressure of the liquid, tiny cavitation bubbles form. Since the artificial conditions that led to the formation of the bubbles only exist for a short time, the bubbles implode again very quickly.
- the resulting pressure waves which are induced by the implosion of the gas bubbles, especially on the strip surface in the liquid, lead to the blasting of dirt on the strip surface. Loose surface coverings are removed. More stable layers are loosened up by the pressure waves and also washed away.
- the tenside components in the added belt cleaner support the cleaning process as in the high-pressure cleaning described above.
- the big advantage of cleaning with ultrasound is not only the high quality and the reproducibility but also the mechanical and non-contact cleaning of materials.
- aggressive chemicals and high temperatures can be dispensed with.
- the chemical additives (cleaning agents) assisting in aqueous ultrasonic cleaning are added to a much lesser degree in percentage terms and are of similar importance in the selection from the present contamination as the design of the required ultrasound power and working frequency.
- ultrasonic cleaning thus offers a high-quality and homogeneous cleaning result, which can not be achieved by any other cleaning process.
- the ultrasonic vibrator technology used requires no special bath care.
- the ultrasonic emission means 10, 11 are, as explained, encapsulated by the stainless steel housing 12.
- the housing material can be adapted to the bath medium.
- the container 9 is designed as a dip tank in order to have sufficient medium for the transmission of the sound waves on the strip surface available. In the dip tank only a moderate flow rate is adjusted so as not to immediately flush the bubbles formed away from the belt surface or to hinder the propagation of the sound waves.
- the second high-pressure cleaning device 8 is arranged, which also has a separate container 15. In this - are arranged on both sides of the belt 1 - according to the first high-pressure cleaning device 4 - high-pressure nozzle beam 14.
- the efficiency of the combined high-pressure and ultrasound technology was investigated in various field trials. On the basis of the investigations carried out, it can be ascertained that technically contaminated steel strips can be cleaned with good results by means of high-pressure and ultrasonic cleaning.
- the high pressure cleaning ensures a good rough cleaning.
- the kinetic energy of the high-pressure water jets affects the surface coating. Cover layers are removed. Impurities deeper in the topography of the surface of the belt 1 are released and removed by the ultrasonic cleaning.
- the brush degreasing and the brushing sink are each replaced by a pair of high pressure nozzle bars.
- the electrolytic degreasing section becomes an ultrasonic cleaning section by replacing the electrode systems with corresponding ultrasonic systems.
- the Bürsten ⁇ ntfettung is replaced by a high-pressure nozzle pair.
- the high-pressure nozzle pair is at the end or immediately after the degreasing.
- the steel strip has already warmed to the required temperature in order to support the optimum effect of the cleaning medium used and to minimize foaming.
- the high-pressure water jets in interaction with the cleaning-active substances in the medium, can remove impurities lying on the surface of the belt. The removal takes place without contact due to the high kinetic energy of the water jets and is thus virtually wear-free over a very long period of time.
- the construction of the container for the ultrasonic cleaning is carried out as a pure steel container without insulating gumming (as required in the electrolysis). Electrode systems with external power supply are not required. In contrast to electrolytic cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning does not release electrolysis gases. Therefore, no complex safety devices are required.
- the process container is rather connected to a simple extraction system.
- the Bürst Crowe is replaced by the second high-pressure nozzle pair (high-pressure nozzle bar 14) in the third region 7.
- the high-pressure nozzle pair is located at the beginning or immediately before the first stage of the subsequent cascade rinse 17.
- a film of the impurities dissolved in the ultrasonic cleaning, which interacts with the high-pressure cleaning in the third region 7 can be removed with the cleaning-active substances in the medium. The removal takes place without contact due to the high kinetic energy of the water jets and is therefore largely wear-free.
- the use of high-pressure cleaning technology as a replacement for mechanical brush cleaning eliminates the cost of replacement brushes, which must be replaced regularly as a closing part in known cleaning devices.
- Ultrasonic cleaning as a substitute for electrolytic cleaning consumes less energy to achieve the desired cleaning result.
- the compact design of the process technologies opens up new opportunities for the construction and construction of space-saving high-performance cleaning in strip processing lines.
- the tape guide can be done either horizontally or vertically in the individual areas of the cleaning device 3.
- Spray degreasing agent 17 Means for rinsing
