Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for fabric calendering.
- the term "calendering” identifies a finishing treatment in which a fabric is subjected to hot drawing in order to reduce its thickness, eliminate any possible creases therefrom and bestow thereupon a tendentially shiny appearance on at least one face.
- roll calenders or "cotton calenders" provides instead for two or more rolls or cylinders Ia, Ib, Ic set on top of one another, i.e., stacked up in "tower” fashion, where at least one of the cylinders is heated (the cylinder Ib, in the example illustrated) , and the cylinders rotate against one another at a very high pressure, with the fabric 3 set in between.
- the cylinders may be made of metal or else be coated with various materials, all having in any case as common characteristic high hardness.
- Said characteristic has the purpose of limiting the section deformed in the point of contact between the cylinders, and hence concentrate the pressure in very little space.
- the machine can be a single-acting one or else a multiple-acting one, but the direction of passage and the face of the fabric involved (with respect to the heat source) is always the same.
- Belt calenders which have been introduced relatively recently, implement a process that resembles as regards effect and results that of shoe calenders.
- the fixed shoe is replaced by a deformable and as a whole impermeable belt 4, configured as an endless belt, guided via rollers 5 and subjected to marked tensioning.
- the machine is a single-acting one, and the effect involves just one face of the treated fabric.
- impermeable- belt calendering has then an important secondary effect: the moisture present or induced on the fabric, exposed in a hot and closed environment (i.e., the space between the cylinder and the belt) causes formation of steam, which is an excellent aid to the process for many textile materials.
- fibres and fabrics are materials "with memory”, which, if they are left free to relax (in a natural way or else subjected to a mechanical beating action) , tend to assume a resting condition as close as possible to their original dimensional condition (with phenomena of crimping of the fabric thread, relaxing of the twisting of the fibres, relaxing of the stresses applied mechanically in the various processes, hygroscopic dilation, etc.).
- One of the purposes of textile finishing is hence to apply a series of mechanical, physical and chemical processes that tend to fix in a relatively permanent way a certain aspect of the fabric.
- Calendering is precisely a tendentially stabilizing treatment, both at a structural level and as regards the visual appearance of a fabric, in which the reduction in thickness and the tactile; aspect assumes particular importance.
- the mechanical and thermal energies have an effect that depends directly upon the .time required to apply said energies, upon the stay time of the effect applied, and upon the type of reverse process with which said energies are released (thermal shock) .
- a first stage i.e., a "heating” time
- a stage of structural modification i.e., a "positive transition” time
- a cooling stage i.e., a "negative transition" time, which must be fast and incisive in order to prevent the structural modification obtained during the positive transition from vanishing to a fair extent on account of the aforesaid memory effect of fibres .
- a cooling stage i.e., a "negative transition" time
- the specific pressure on the fabric is medium, and the time of application is short.
- the fabric is exposed to air, which implies fast evaporation of its water content, and is subject to stresses by stretching. The consequence is that the physical transformation has a strong cohesive component that vanishes very easily.
- the pressure or pressures is/are relatively high and are obtained with high hydraulic pressures acting on semirigid cylinders made of paper-wool or polyamide (with hardnesses of around 85° Shore D - equivalent to 98- 100° Shore A); the temperatures can even exceed 200°C, but the time of application is very short.
- said process can be used exclusively on fabrics with high sensitivity to temperature and with low hysteresis, as in synthetic fibres, or with high sensitivity to mechanical deformation, as in vegetal fibres.
- the treatment time is decidedly prolonged but the specific pressures are relatively modest (1-5 kg/cm 2 of distributed mean pressure) , which, according to the angle of winding between the belt and the cylinder, can create an arc- shaped distribution of the forces (with a pressure peak that is twice the distributed mean pressure) .
- the generally impermeable nature of the belt enables a control on the water content, in practice preventing a continuous evaporation and maintaining the rate of moisture constant throughout the process. For these reasons, the process is used especially for treatment of animal fibres.
- the presence of the water-repellent belt constitutes a problem, in so far as said belt entails problems of reliability both in terms of defects on the results of treatment of the fabric and in terms of resistance to use over time.
- Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for fabric calendering that enable improved effects of continuous permanent stabilization to be obtained, both at a structural level and as regards the visual appearance of the fabric, as compared to the prior art, and that can be used indifferently for treatment of synthetic fibres, of fibres of vegetal origin, and of fibres of animal origin.
- a further purpose of the invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for fabric calendering designed to ensure an appreciably higher rate of treatment.
- Yet a further purpose of the invention which expressly regards the case of calendering with the aid of chemical products, is the reduction in the consumption of chemical products, and the use of components that, both as regards fabrication and as regards maintenance, require shorter operating times and lower operating costs.
- a subject of the present invention is a calendering method having the characteristics of Claim 1. Additional characteristics of the method are set down in the dependent Claims 2-10.
- the subject of the present invention is also a calendering apparatus having the characteristics specified in Claim 11 and in the claims depending thereupon.
- the fundamental idea underlying the present invention lies in the original intuition that the action of the conventional water-repellent belt can be obtained in an equally, if not more effective way by contrast cylinders with elastically deformable surfaces radially pushed in pressure contact against the corresponding heated cylinders of the second operating unit, thus creating at least two areas of intense squeezing, through which the fabric is subjected to the marked mechanical constraint generated by the pressure of the contrast cylinder.
- the mechanical constraint imposed in said area can be rendered decidedly greater than that obtained in an equal area by using conventional tensioned water-repellent belts. Of course, its amount will depend upon the mutual pressure of the cylinders coming into contact. In order to increase the productivity of the apparatus, said area may be repeated a number of times.
- Figures 1, 2 and 3 are schematic illustrations of a known process of shoe calendering, a known process of roll calendering, and a known process of belt calendering, respectively;
- Figure 4 is a schematic illustration of a continuous-calendering line made according to the invention.
- - Figure 5 is a schematic illustration of a possible variant of the continuous-calendering line according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration of an apparatus or line for continuous calendering of fabrics according to a first embodiment of the invention.
- the calendering line designated, as a whole, by the reference number 10, comprises the following contiguous operating units: - a unit for moisture control or fabric- conditioning unit 20, provided with a device for controlled surface moistening 27 and/or a device for impregnation 28 with chemical products, and a pair of cylinders 24-23, which are possibly also heated, between which the fabric is subsequently; - a calender unit with two pairs of motor-driven cylinders stacked in tower fashion, designated by 30; and a possible drying and cooling device, not illustrated in so far as it is generally conventional, set downstream of the second calender 30.
- the fabric 3 being treated is wound off a respective feeding means, which, in the example represented, is a support 11 on which the fabric is lapped, to be drawn and guided, via means in themselves known - designated as a whole by the reference number 12 - into the conditioning unit 20.
- a respective feeding means which, in the example represented, is a support 11 on which the fabric is lapped, to be drawn and guided, via means in themselves known - designated as a whole by the reference number 12 - into the conditioning unit 20.
- the fabric 3 passes, with a short passage through the air, into the calendering unit 30, purposely drawn and guided with means, in themselves known.
- the fabric 3 leaving the calender 30 then passes into the possible drying and cooling apparatus (not illustrated) , and is finally drawn and guided - via means 15 in themselves known to a generic lapping unit 16, which deposits the fabric 3 on an adequate accumulation support, designated by 17.
- the conditioning unit 20 is envisaged for all applications that involve use of water or chemical fixing products. As has already been described, calendering in the most general sense of the term can be obtained with the fabric dry and then undergo fixing during other subsequent finishing processes. Certainly, however, the best results according to the present invention can be obtained by applying, during the process itself, small amounts of water or products to enhance and impress permanently the shiny appearance.
- the conditioning unit 20 can advantageously be used as entry calender.
- This comprises a structure 21, which supports two cylinders 23, 24 with parallel axes, at least one of which preferably (but not necessarily) is heated. At least one cylinder 23 is pushed towards the other cylinder 24 via pneumatic pressure, i.e., via pneumatic actuator means, not illustrated in detail.
- the main characteristics of the cylinders 23, 24 can correspond to those of the cylinders of the calender unit 30 that will be described hereinafter.
- the above configuration can advantageously be used for complete impregnation of the fabric in the first pressing step, with consequent variation of the visual and tactile results.
- the calendering unit 30 comprises a structure 31, which supports at least two cylinders 33, 32 with parallel axes, and preferably two pairs of cylinders 33-32 and 35-34 stacked on top of one another in tower fashion, at least one of which may be heated. At least one cylinder of each pair is pushed towards the other cylinder via pneumatic pressure, i.e., via pneumatic- actuator means (not illustrated in detail but within the reach of the person skilled in the art) .
- Supply of the actuator means with air enables, if need be, an adaptation of the relative position between the axes of the cylinders in order to enable passage between the cylinders themselves of any hems, even thick ones, or of elements of the fabric that are in relief. It should be noted that said passage is problematical in traditional calenders, in which the two cylinders are pushed against one another via hydraulic actuators, which do not enable adaptation of position between the cylinders .
- the pressure exerted via the pneumatic- actuator means is such that a pressure of at least 20 kg per linear centimetre will be exerted on the fabric 3 in order to obtain an evident effect of drawing.
- At least ( one of the cylinders of each pair 33- 32 and 35-34 is preferably coated with material suited for working at high temperature and with hardness not higher than 95° Shore A.
- an adequate elastic surface deformation of the coating is enabled in order to create between the cylinders a pressing area provided with relatively low rigidity and a pressing action that is extended in time, such as not to destroy completely the "three-dimensional" structure that may be present on the fabric and to enable the fabric to remain for a certain time in a closed environment, without any evaporation, under a heavy mechanical constraint.
- the temperature during passage between the two cylinders of each pair 33-32, 35-34 can be set selectively and is preferably in the order of 80-200 0 C.
- the pressure between the two cylinders of each pair can be adjustable in a selective way.
- the calendering unit 30 can be equipped with adjustment means, not represented, acting on the pneumatic actuator/actuators of the unit 30 with a pressure that can be adjusted up to beyond 100 kg/cm.
- the cylinders can also have differentiated surface hardness: this can be obtained, for example, via a coating with rigid polymers, rubbers or silicones for at least one cylinder, in such a way that the maximum specific pressure will be concentrated in a minimum point of contact between the cylinders.
- the device for controlled moistening 27 and/or the impregnation device 28 of the conditioning unit 20 enable considerable enhancement of the feel and sheen on various types of fabrics, such as, for example, animal fibres that are markedly sensitive to humidity or to steam resulting from administration of thermal energy. It should be noted that a moistening stage of this sort is not envisaged in traditional roll-calendering systems.
- the specific function of the calendering unit 30 is that of fixing, tendentially but not necessarily in progression, the process of squeezing of the fibre.
- said calendering unit 30 does not use a water-repellent belt, but, as has been seen, pairs of particular calendering cylinders 32-33 and 34-35, through which the fabric 3 is maintained in conditions of lateral mechanical constraint and which can present elastically deformable lateral pressure surfaces, possibly also with differentiated deformability.
- each pair 32-33 and 34-35 of the unit 30 can be optionally heated and, as has also already been said, the mutual contact pressure can be selectively variable, as a result of their relative displacement in the radial direction, with modalities not illustrated in so far as they are within the reach of the person skilled in the art.
- Associated to the two pairs of cylinders 32-33 and 34-35 are respective sets of transmission rollers, for example arranged in the way represented in Figure 4, designed to determine through each pair a substantially rectilinear passage of the fabric 1, i.e., tangential to the surfaces of said rollers, and hence substantially without running over said surfaces.
- the fabric 3 is squeezed for a short time at a certain temperature under the marked mechanical constraint imposed by the pressure between the cylinders 32-33 and 34-35.
- the mechanical constraint in terms of surface loading applied on the fabric 3, can be rendered appreciably higher than that obtained on the same area using a conventional tensioned water-repellent belt.
- the calendering unit 30 may be doubled, as indicated by 30a in Figure 5, or even repeated a number of times; in this case, a number of pairs of heated cylinders and contrast cylinders will, for example, be provided, arranged one after the other along the path of advance of the fabric 3.
- the pairs of cylinders 32-33, 34-35 of the calendering unit 30 can be driven by an single motor drive or else by independent motor drives, and in this case each pair of cylinders will be preceded or followed by a convenient system for synchronization of the speed with that of the preceding or ensuing pair.
- the method and apparatus described can be defined as being of universal application, in so far as they can be used with advantageous results for dry, wet and/or moistened treatment of fabrics, whether they are synthetic fibres, vegetal fibres or animal fibres.
- wet calendering or impregnation calendering performed according to the invention achieves very marked natural shiny effects and hence requires reduced amounts of chemical products as compared to the belt technique.
- the material of the cylinders is decidedly more robust and insensitive than the silicone materials of the belt, and, in addition, the costs and times involved in production and replacement of a cylinder are by far more contained as compared to a belt system. It is clear that numerous changes are possible to the apparatus and method described by way of example for the person skilled in the art.
- the calendering unit 20 could also comprise two or more pairs of calendering cylinders similar to the cylinders 23 and 24.
- the elastic deformability of the contrast cylinder or each contrast cylinder 33, 35 may be obtained, instead of with a coating of elastic material such as silicone, by making the entire cylinder of such a material.
