Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne la technique de teillage du lin ou de toute autre fibre cellulosique pouvant être teillée, telle une fibre libérienne, comme le chanvre, le kenaf, le jute ou la ramie.The invention relates to the technique of scutching flax or any other cellulosic fiber that can be dyed, such as a bast fiber, such as hemp, kenaf, jute or ramie.
De manière connue, l'opération de teillage, ou écangage, vise à traiter de manière mécanique, après rouissage, les tiges de lin pour séparer les fibres (ou filasse) des autres parties de la plante (la tête, contenant la paillette et la graine, et les parties ligneuses de la tige ou anas). Ces fibres sont ensuite peignées pour retirer encore des anas et des fibres courtes ou étoupe, avant de pouvoir dégager des fibres longues présentant les qualités requises pour leur utilisation ultérieure, notamment dans la filature.In known manner, the scutching operation, or shelling, is intended to mechanically treat, after retting, the flax stems to separate the fibers (or tow) from the other parts of the plant (the head, containing the straw and the sponge). seed, and the woody parts of the stem or shoots). These fibers are then combed to further remove shives and short fibers or tow, before clearing long fibers having the qualities required for their subsequent use, especially in spinning.
Classiquement, ce teillage comprend en premier lieu une étape d'égrainage au cours de laquelle un peigne à dents d'acier va séparer la capsule de la tige ou paille, voir par example
Ensuite intervient une étape de broyage suivie d'une étape de turbinage.Then there is a grinding step followed by a turbining step.
Le broyage s'entend de l'étape au cours de laquelle la cohésion de la tige est brisée par broyage entre des paires de rouleaux cannelés rotatifs disposés en engrènement, et dont les axes sont parallèles aux tiges avançant en nappe, afin de casser la lignine et de permettre l'extraction des anas.Grinding refers to the step during which the cohesion of the rod is broken by grinding between pairs of rotating corrugated rollers arranged in meshing, and whose axes are parallel to the rods advancing in sheet, in order to break the lignin and allow the extraction of shives.
Le turbinage réalise cette séparation entre les fibres et les anas par les chocs engendrés au moyen de lames d'acier mobiles en rotation selon un axe perpendiculaire à la direction des tiges et qui viennent frapper successivement toutes les portions des tiges.The turbining effects this separation between the fibers and the shackles by the shocks generated by means of steel blades movable in rotation along an axis perpendicular to the direction of the rods and which strike successively all the portions of the rods.
Plus particulièrement, la présente invention se rapporte à l'amélioration de l'opération d'extraction des anas, à savoir des déchets ligneux des tiges de lin, afin de permettre une augmentation de la quantité de ces déchets, à savoir une diminution de la perte en fibres.More particularly, the present invention relates to the improvement of the operation of extraction of shives, namely woody waste linseed, to allow an increase in the amount of this waste, namely a decrease in fiber loss.
En effet, on comprend que les opérations de broyage et de turbinage engendrent des chocs et des contraintes de cisaillement intenses sur la tige de lin, ces opérations très violentes étant considérées jusqu'à ce jour comme nécessaires pour retirer les anas, compte tenu de la résistance mécanique très importante des fibres de lin.Indeed, it is understood that the grinding operations and turbinage generate shocks and intense shear stresses on the stem of flax, these very violent operations are considered until now as necessary to remove the shingles, given the very important mechanical strength of flax fibers.
Toutefois, cette méthode occasionne des ruptures des fibres longues, ce qui génère les fibres courtes appelées étoupes, qui doivent être séparées des fibres longues intactes, ce qui diminue le rendement d'extraction en fibres longues. Ce dernier atteint 20% environ alors que la quantité totale de fibres contenues dans les tiges est estimée à hauteur de 30%.However, this method causes breaks in the long fibers, which generates the short fibers called tows, which must be separated from the intact long fibers, which reduces the extraction efficiency of long fibers. The latter reaches about 20% whereas the total amount of fibers contained in the stems is estimated at 30%.
C'est donc un but de la présente invention que de permettre la séparation entre les anas et les fibres des tiges de lin, tout en diminuant le taux de rupture des fibres, et ceci afin de conserver à l'issue du teillage un maximum de fibres longues.It is therefore an object of the present invention to allow the separation between the shives and the fibers of the flax stems, while reducing the rate of rupture of the fibers, and this in order to keep at the end of scutching a maximum of long fibers.
A cet effet, la présente invention propose un dispositif de teillage du lin ou de toute autre plante dont la tige contient des fibres cellulosiques pouvant être séparées par teillage, comportant, de manière habituelle, :
- des moyens de transport des tiges selon une direction d'entraînement sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'orientation des tiges, qui comprennent au moins un ensemble de préhension et d'entraînement des dites tiges, et
- au moins une unité de broyage comprenant au moins une paire de rouleaux de broyage superposés cannelés.
- means for transporting the rods in a driving direction substantially perpendicular to the orientation of the rods, which comprise at least one gripping and driving assembly of said rods, and
- at least one grinding unit comprising at least one pair of corrugated rollers.
De manière caractéristique, le dispositif de teillage selon la présente invention comporte en outre, en aval de l'unité de broyage et dans une zone située au-dessus dudit ensemble de préhension et d'entraînement, une unité de nettoyage des fibres comprenant des moyens de projection vers le bas d'un fluide et/ou de particules en direction des tiges, ce par quoi les déchets désolidarisés des tiges par l'unité de broyage sont extraits des tiges qui sont retenues dans ledit ensemble de préhension et d'entraînement.Typically, the scutching device according to the present invention further comprises, downstream of the grinding unit and in an area above said gripping and driving assembly, a fiber cleaning unit comprising means downwardly projecting a fluid and / or particles in the direction of the rods, whereby the waste disconnected from the rods by the grinding unit are extracted from the rods which are retained in said gripping and driving assembly.
De cette manière, on comprend que par la présence de ladite unité de nettoyage des fibres fonctionnant par projection, les fibres des tiges sont nettoyés par le fait que les anas qui ont été désolidarisés des fibres pendant l'étape de broyage précédente, sont, grâce à cette projection, « décollés » et séparés des fibres pour être entraînés par le flux de fluide et/ou de particules qui est projeté, puis sont entraînés par effet Venturi ou dans un système de récupération.In this way, it is understood that by the presence of said fiber cleaning unit operating by projection, the fibers of the rods are cleaned by the fact that the shins which have been separated from the fibers during the preceding grinding step, are, thanks at this projection, "detached" and separated fibers to be driven by the flow of fluid and / or particles that is projected, and then are driven by Venturi effect or in a recovery system.
Cette solution présente aussi l'avantage supplémentaire, d'être simple à mettre en oeuvre, et notamment peu encombrante.This solution also has the additional advantage of being simple to implement, and in particular compact.
Globalement, grâce à l'agencement selon la présente invention, il est possible d'améliorer le rendement d'extraction des fibres des tiges de lin d'une manière simple et efficace.Overall, thanks to the arrangement according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the extraction efficiency of the fibers of the flax stems in a simple and effective manner.
Le fluide peut être un liquide ou un gaz et les particules seront en particulier des particules abrasives telles que du sable ou de la fine grenaille.The fluid may be a liquid or a gas and the particles will be in particular abrasive particles such as sand or fine shot.
De préférence, lesdits moyens de projection comprennent au moins une buse de soufflage d'air sous haute pression, l'air étant envoyé à une pression de préférence comprise entre 1 et 10 bars, soit entre 100 000 et 1 000 000 Pa, et avantageusement entre 4 et 7 bars, soit entre 400 000 et 700 000 Pa.Preferably, said projection means comprise at least one nozzle for blowing air under high pressure, the air being sent at a pressure preferably of between 1 and 10 bar, ie between 100,000 and 1,000,000 Pa, and advantageously between 4 and 7 bars, ie between 400,000 and 700,000 Pa.
De préférence, lesdits moyens de projection comprennent au moins une buse de projection de sable, grenaille, graines et/ou d'autres particules.Preferably, said projection means comprise at least one projection nozzle of sand, shot, seeds and / or other particles.
Selon une disposition préférentielle, lesdits moyens de projection sont situés au moins de part et d'autre dudit ensemble de préhension et d'entraînement, et ceci afin de nettoyer les tiges sur toute leur longueur, sauf la zone de la tige située dans ledit ensemble de préhension et d'entraînement.According to a preferred arrangement, said projection means are located at least on either side of said gripping and driving assembly, and this in order to clean the rods over their entire length, except the zone of the rod situated in said assembly gripping and training.
Selon une autre disposition préférentielle, ledit dispositif de teillage comporte au moins trois unités de broyage successives et au moins trois ensembles de préhension et d'entraînement, chaque unité de broyage comportant au moins trois paires de rouleaux de broyage disposées d'amont en aval et chaque unité de broyage étant associée à un desdits ensembles de préhension et d'entraînement, et lesdits ensembles de préhension et d'entraînement successifs présentent des directions d'entraînement latéralement décalées entre un ensemble de préhension et d'entraînement et le suivant.According to another preferred arrangement, said scutching device comprises at least three successive grinding units and at least three gripping and driving assemblies, each grinding unit comprising at least three pairs of grinding rollers arranged from upstream to downstream and each grinding unit being associated with one of said gripping and driving assemblies, and said successive gripping and driving assemblies have laterally offset driving directions between a gripping and driving assembly and the following.
Cette disposition qui prévoit une succession de plusieurs unités de teillage, comprenant chacune une unité de broyage et une unité de nettoyage située en aval, permet de réaliser successivement et plusieurs fois le couple d'étapes broyage puis nettoyage, de sorte que les déchets désolidarisés des fibres par une étape de broyage sont retirés au fur et à mesure des fibres par l'étape de nettoyage ultérieure avant que les tiges soient à nouveau soumises à une étape de broyage, etc ; et ceci plusieurs fois en vue d'aboutir à des fibres entièrement nettoyées des anas, tout en ayant conservé un maximum de fibres intacts, c'est-à-dire non brisées.This arrangement, which provides for a succession of several scutching units, each comprising a grinding unit and a cleaning unit located downstream, makes it possible to carry out the crushing and cleaning steps in succession successively and several times, so that the waste is disconnected from the fibers by a grinding step are removed as the fibers by the subsequent cleaning step before the rods are again subjected to a grinding step, etc .; and this several time in order to achieve fully cleaned fibers of the shives, while maintaining a maximum of intact fibers, that is to say unbroken.
Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, la taille des cannelures des rouleaux de broyage diminue d'amont en aval le long du dispositif de teillage.According to a preferred embodiment, the size of the grooves of the grinding rollers decreases from upstream to downstream along the scutching device.
De cette manière, en réduisant au fur et à mesure de l'avancée des tiges dans le dispositif de teillage la taille des cannelures des rouleaux de broyage, on réalise également un broyage de plus en plus fin, ce qui permet de décoller les anas au plus profond de la tige. Cette diminution progressive de la taille des cannelures peut être obtenue selon différentes façons.In this way, by reducing as the progress of the rods in the scutching device the size of the grooves of the grinding rollers, grinding is also carried out more and more finely, which allows to take off the shoots at deeper of the stem. This gradual decrease in the size of the flutes can be achieved in different ways.
De préférence, d'une unité de broyage à l'autre, chaque unité de broyage comporte des rouleaux dont la taille des cannelures est plus petite que dans l'unité de broyage qui la précède, selon la direction d'entraînement et d'amont en aval. Cette disposition peut être réalisée avec, pour chacune desdites unités de broyage, des rouleaux dont les cannelures sont sensiblement de même taille dans une unité de broyage considérée, mais une taille plus petite que celle des cannelures des rouleaux de l'unité de broyage précédente. Cette disposition peut aussi être obtenue avec des unités de broyage qui comportent des rouleaux présentant pour la même unité de broyage des tailles de cannelures différentes, éventuellement avec une taille identique entre le dernier rouleau de l'unité de broyage amont et le premier rouleau de l'unité de broyage aval qui lui succède.Preferably, from one milling unit to the next, each milling unit comprises rollers whose groove size is smaller than in the milling unit which precedes it, according to the drive and upstream direction. downstream. This arrangement can be achieved with, for each of said grinding units, rollers whose grooves are substantially the same size in a grinding unit considered, but a size smaller than that of the grooves of the rollers of the preceding grinding unit. This arrangement can also be obtained with grinding units which comprise rollers having, for the same grinding unit, different spline sizes, possibly with the same size between the last roll of the upstream grinding unit and the first roll of the grinding unit. downstream milling unit that succeeds him.
Selon une autre disposition avantageuse, les rouleaux supérieurs et inférieurs de chaque unité de broyage sont entraînés en rotation de manière synchronisée, les cannelures du rouleau supérieur venant s'engrener, sans contact, entre deux cannelures du rouleau inférieur.According to another advantageous arrangement, the upper and lower rollers of each grinding unit are rotated in synchronized manner, the grooves of the upper roll coming to mesh, without contact, between two grooves of the lower roll.
De cette manière, on réalise le broyage des tiges sans risque de briser les tiges à un emplacement correspondant à un contact entre les cannelures, ce qui contribuerait à briser des fibres sur leur longueur, ce qui serait préjudiciable en terme de rendement des fibres en sortie.In this way, the grinding of the rods is carried out without the risk of breaking the rods at a location corresponding to a contact between the grooves, which would contribute to break fibers along their length, which would be detrimental in terms of output fiber yield .
En complément de cette disposition, de préférence, les cannelures sont conformées de sorte que lorsqu'une cannelure du rouleau supérieur s'engrène entre deux cannelures du rouleau inférieur, il existe un écart sensiblement constant entre ladite cannelure du rouleau supérieur et lesdites deux cannelures du rouleau inférieur.In addition to this arrangement, preferably, the splines are shaped so that when a groove of the upper roll meshes between two grooves of the lower roll, there is a substantially constant gap between said groove of the upper roll and said two grooves of the lower roll.
Ainsi, on comprend que l'on exerce sur les fibres une contrainte maximale constante pour une paire de rouleaux de broyage donnée et, de préférence, également pour toutes les paires de rouleaux de broyage.Thus, it is understood that a constant maximum stress is exerted on the fibers for a given pair of grinding rollers and, preferably, also for all pairs of grinding rolls.
Selon une autre disposition préférentielle, ledit ensemble de préhension et d'entraînement comprend une paire de courroies mobiles sans fin, plates et crantées, venant en contact l'une contre l'autre pour retenir par serrage un tronçon de la tige afin de l'entraîner au cours du mouvement des courroies.According to another preferred arrangement, said gripping and driving assembly comprises a pair of endless moving belts, flat and toothed, coming into contact with one another to clamp a section of the rod to train during the movement of the belts.
De cette manière, on réalise très simplement la retenue des tiges, sans exercer sur elles une pression localisée trop forte à l'emplacement du tronçon de la tige serré entre les courroies mobiles, comme cela peut être le cas avec les dispositifs de l'art antérieur qui utilisent des courroies de convoyage avec une section en U.In this way, the retention of the rods is very simple, without exerting on them too great localized pressure at the location of the section of the rod clamped between the moving belts, as may be the case with the devices of the art. which use conveyor belts with a U-section.

Sur les
Ces cinq unités de teillage de lin 11 à 15 fonctionnent sur un principe identique représenté sur la
Sur l'ensemble de ces
Chacune des unités de teillage 11 à 15 présente une structure globalement identique formée de quatre parties principales comportant d'amont en aval respectivement :
une zone d'entrée 20,- une unité de broyage 30,
- une unité de nettoyage de
fibres 40, et - une
zone de sortie 50.
- an
entrance area 20, - a grinding
unit 30, - a
fiber cleaning unit 40, and - an
exit zone 50.
Comme on peut le voir sur les
En effet les unités de teillage 11, 12, 13, 14 et 15 sont disposées successivement les unes après les autres selon la direction longitudinale X en étant toutefois décalées transversalement selon la direction Y l'une par rapport à l'unité de teillage voisine afin que tous les tronçons de la tige de la plante soient traités comme il sera exposé ci-après.Indeed, the scutching
Chaque unité de teillage 11 à 15 est parcourue par un système d'entraînement 60 à double courroie sans fin 61 et 62.Each scraping
Comme il apparaît sur la
Plus précisément, les tiges de lin sont tenues par (serrées entre) les courroies 61 et 62 qui présentent des faces en regard en relief sous la forme d'un crantage.More specifically, the flax rods are held by (clamped between) the
Comme on le voit plus précisément sur la
La zone d'entrée 20 de chaque unité de teillage 11 à 15 présente le système d'entraînement 60 à double courroie 61 et 62 présenté précédemment, de sorte que cette zone d'entrée 20 assure uniquement l'avancée de la nappe 100 des tiges de lin.The
Si l'on se réfère aux
Plus précisément, si l'on se réfère à la première paire 31 de rouleaux de broyage, elle comporte un rouleau de broyage supérieur 31a et un rouleau de broyage inférieur 31b dont les axes sont disposés respectivement au-dessus et en-dessous de la zone de préhension 60a des courroies crantées 61 et 62, chacun de ces rouleaux 31a et 31b étant lui-même (voir
De cette manière, on comprend que l'on réalise le traitement de la nappe 100 de lin simultanément à droite et à gauche du système d'entraînement 60 afin de réaliser le broyage, au niveau de chaque paire de rouleaux de broyage 31 à 35 quasiment sur toute la longueur des tiges de lin, à l'exception du tronçon des tiges de lin qui est tenu entre les courroies 61 et 62.In this way, it is understood that the processing of the
On comprend donc qu'au niveau de chaque unité de teillage 11 à 15, la nappe 100 des tiges de lin passe successivement dans plusieurs (en l'espèce cinq) paires de rouleaux de broyage 31 à 35 qui réalisent l'écrasement et le pliage des parties ligneuses de la tige de lin (ou anas) afin de les désolidariser des fibres que l'on souhaite isoler et conserver d'une façon la moins altérée possible.It is therefore understood that at each scutching
En pratique, lors de ce traitement de broyage, comme il apparaît sur la
Sur la
Ainsi, d'une manière générale selon la présente invention, chaque unité de teillage peut comporter un nombre de paires de rouleaux de broyage identique ou différent entre elles, le nombre de paires de rouleaux de broyage de chaque unité de teillage pouvant varier de trois à cinq (ou davantage) paires de rouleaux de broyage.Thus, generally according to the present invention, each scutching unit may comprise a number of pairs of grinding rolls that are identical or different from each other, the number of pairs of grinding rolls of each scutching unit may vary from three to five (or more) pairs of grinding rollers.
Classiquement, les paires de rouleaux de broyage utilisées pour réaliser le teillage du lin sont des rouleaux avec des dents ou cannelures d'engrenage venant en contact les unes avec les autres, l'un des deux rouleaux parmi les rouleaux inférieur et supérieur étant menant, l'autre étant mené.Conventionally, the pairs of grinding rollers used for scutching flax are rolls with teeth or gear splines coming into contact with one another, one of the two rollers of the lower and upper rollers being leading, the other being led.
A cette structure connue, on préfère des paires 31-35 de rouleaux de broyage qui s'engrènent sans contact comme on peut le voir sur les
Si l'on considère par exemple la
L'écart e au niveau de l'engrènement entre les cannelures du rouleau de broyage supérieur et du rouleau de broyage inférieur étant autant que possible sensiblement constant comme il ressort des
Sur les
Sur les
On remarquera que dans tous les cas, les rouleaux de broyage présentent, entre leurs cannelures 36a, 37a ou 38a, un creux (une rainure) de forme complémentaire à celle des cannelures.It will be noted that in all cases, the grinding rollers have, between their
Afin de réaliser le mouvement de rotation synchrone des rouleaux supérieur et inférieur de toutes les paires de rouleaux 31 à 35 composant une unité de teillage, par exemple l'unité de teillage 11 de la
De cette façon, on comprend que l'on assure, pour chaque unité de teillage 11 à 15, un entraînement synchrone de tous les rouleaux de broyage et de la zone de préhension 60a pour une avancée régulière et synchrone de la nappe 100 de tiges de lin, au niveau d'une même unité de teillage 11 à 15.In this way, it is understood that it ensures, for each scraping
Selon une disposition particulière, afin de placer les rouleaux inférieur et supérieur d'une paire de rouleaux de broyage en engrènement, c'est le rouleau inférieur qui est mis en mouvement vers le haut, au moyen d'un vérin pneumatique qui actionne un bras de levier ce qui permet de régler la mise sous pression du vérin et donc la contrainte exercée sur le rouleau inférieur lorsqu'il est placé en position d'engrènement avec le rouleau supérieur.According to a particular arrangement, in order to place the lower and upper rollers of a pair of grinding rollers in meshing, it is the lower roll which is moved upwards by means of a pneumatic jack which actuates an arm lever which makes it possible to adjust the pressurization of the jack and therefore the stress exerted on the lower roll when it is placed in the meshing position with the upper roll.
Ainsi, en cas de problème (blocage ou autre), si la commande du vérin pneumatique est défaillante ou n'est plus activée, les rouleaux inférieurs sont alors dans leur position basse, ce qui correspond à une situation de sécurité évitant par exemple des blessures par pincement entre les rouleaux d'une même paire.Thus, in the event of a problem (blockage or other), if the control of the pneumatic cylinder is faulty or is no longer activated, the lower rollers are then in their low position, which corresponds to a safety situation avoiding, for example, injuries. by pinching between the rollers of the same pair.
Afin de pouvoir régler précisément l'écartement entre chaque rouleau d'une paire de rouleaux de broyage inférieur et supérieur, un dispositif de butée réglable associé à l'ensemble composé du vérin pneumatique et du bras de levier précités est prévu, pour chaque paire de rouleaux de broyage.In order to be able to precisely adjust the spacing between each roller of a pair of upper and lower grinding rollers, an adjustable stop device associated with the assembly consisting of the pneumatic cylinder and the aforementioned lever arm is provided, for each pair of grinding rollers.
De ce qui précède, on comprend que la réalisation de l'engrènement sans contact entre les rouleaux de broyage inférieur et supérieur d'une même paire évite d'exercer des forces de cisaillement le long des fibres de lin.From the foregoing, it is understood that the realization of contactless meshing between the lower grinding rollers and upper pair avoids exerting shear forces along the flax fibers.
De plus, l'actionnement par vérin pneumatique de la mise en position haute du rouleau de broyage inférieur de chaque paire de rouleaux de broyage permet d'exercer une pression réglable et constante sur la nappe de lin 100, ce qui permet de compenser les surépaisseurs lors de l'avancée de cette nappe 100 de tiges de lin et ceci afin d'éviter le « bourrage » au niveau d'une paire de rouleaux de broyage.In addition, the actuation by pneumatic jack of the high position of the lower grinding roller of each pair of grinding rollers makes it possible to exert an adjustable and constant pressure on the
Egalement, il faut noter que la vitesse de défilement linéaire des courroies d'entraînement 61 et 62 est ajustée en fonction de la vitesse linéaire de rotation du diamètre primitif des cannelures des rouleaux de broyage pour éviter les arrachements de fibres ou le déplacement des tiges dans les courroies d'entraînement 61 et 62.Also, it should be noted that the linear running speed of the
On comprend également que les courroies d'entraînement 61 et 62 étant des courroies plates, elles serrent les tiges des fibres de lin à plat, ce qui minimise les cassures des fibres, et ceci afin de préserver au maximum l'intégrité des fibres sur toute leur longueur.It is also understood that the
Cette disposition préférentielle de réalisation des rouleaux de broyage avec un engrènement sans contact, est avantageusement combinée à une diminution progressive de la taille des cannelures des rouleaux de broyage au fur et à mesure de l'avancée des tiges de lin dans le dispositif de teillage de lin 10.This preferred embodiment of the grinding rollers with contact-less meshing is advantageously combined with a progressive reduction in the size of the grooves of the grinding rollers as the linseed rods advance in the scutching device.
On peut utiliser trois tailles de cannelures comme celles illustrées sur les
On peut, pour chaque unité de teillage utiliser des rouleaux de broyage ayant la même taille de cannelures ou déjà plusieurs tailles différentes au fur et à mesure que l'on avance en direction longitudinale X, d'amont en aval le long de l'unité de teillage considérée.For each scutching unit it is possible to use grinding rollers having the same size of grooves or already several different sizes as one moves in longitudinal direction X, upstream downstream along the unit. of scutch considered.
On peut également utiliser des rouleaux de broyage ayant des tailles de cannelures différentes d'une unité de teillage à l'autre ou bien utiliser pour la dernière paire de rouleaux de broyage d'une unité de teillage amont une forme de cannelures identique à celle de la première paire de rouleaux de broyage de l'unité de teillage placée directement en aval.Grinding rollers having different fluting sizes from one scutching unit to another may also be used or using for the last pair of grinding rolls of an upstream scutch unit a flute shape identical to that of the first pair of grinding rollers of the scutching unit placed directly downstream.
On décrit maintenant l'unité de nettoyage de fibres 40 qui est utilisée selon une caractéristique essentielle de la présente invention. A cet effet, chaque unité de teillage de lin 11 à 15 (voir
Cette unité de nettoyage de fibres 40 a pour but de séparer les anas des fibres s'agissant des anas qui ne sont pas déjà tombés par eux-mêmes au cours du traitement par broyage qui a précédemment été réalisé dans l'unité de broyage 30 de la même unité de teillage 11 à 15.This
Pour ce faire, chaque unité de broyage comprend (voir
De manière alternative ou combinée, ce flux d'air sous haute pression peut contenir des percutants pulvérisés à grande vitesse tels que du sable, de la grenaille, des graines, des cailloux...Alternatively or combined, this high-pressure air flow can contain high-speed percussionants such as sand, grit, seeds, pebbles, etc.
Lorsque seul un jet d'air sous haute pression est utilisé, on utilise préférentiellement un caisson de guidage du flux d'air 44 comprenant (voir
On prévoit également la collecte des anas en amont de l'unité de nettoyage 40, à savoir sous l'unité de broyage 30 et sous la zone d'entrée 20 au moyen d'une trémie de collecte 70 au fond de laquelle est disposé un système d'aspiration avec un moteur et une vis sans fin.It is also expected to collect the snails upstream of the
Grâce à un dispositif de teillage conforme aux différentes dispositions présentées en description des figures, on aboutit à un teillage des tiges de lin permettant d'augmenter très sensiblement le rendement des fibres longues jusqu'à 25% et plus, à comparer avec les 20% obtenus selon l'art antérieur et des 30% de fibres contenues dans les tiges de lin.Thanks to a scutching device in accordance with the various provisions presented in the description of the figures, it results in a scutching of the linseed stems making it possible to very significantly increase the yield of the long fibers by up to 25% and more, compared with the 20% obtained according to the prior art and 30% of fibers contained in the stems of flax.
On comprend que ce résultat permet d'améliorer de manière très sensible le rendement d'extraction des fibres de lin à partir des tiges, et ceci en particulier grâce aux moyens de projection vers le bas d'un fluide et/ou de particules, qui réalisent l'extraction des déchets des tiges de lin, et en particulier un nettoyage des tiges par projection d'air sous pression (et/ou de percutants) entre chaque étape de broyage.It will be understood that this result makes it possible to very substantially improve the extraction efficiency of the flax fibers from the stems, and this in particular thanks to the means of projecting downwards a fluid and / or particles, which perform the extraction of waste liners, and in particular cleaning the rods by blowing air under pressure (and / or percussion) between each grinding step.
