Definitions

• the present invention generally relates to the production of layered substrates and, in particular, to a method and system for monitoring or controlling resin application in the production of layered substrates including layered wood based products.
• Layered substrates such as layered wood based products are normally manufactured by coating a substrate such as a board with a layer.
• Suitable boards include e.g. particle boards, medium density fibre boards, plywood, waferboards, oriented strand boards (OSB) 1 hardboards.
• the layer can be applied on the board by means of veneering, flooring or foliating in order to produce, for example, paper laminated particleboard, laminate flooring, parquet flooring, medium density overlaid (MDO) plywood, shuttering board, veneered board and the like.
• MDO medium density overlaid
• shuttering board veneered board and the like.
• a number of different resin applicators including roll coaters, curtain coaters, extruders, sprayers etc. can be used.
• a problem encountered in the production of layered wood based products is the determination of the dosage of resin to be applied on a specific board and also the maintaining of the desired resin dosage.
• the required or proper dosage of resin may vary significantly between different boards, even within the same consignment, due to shifting properties or characteristics between different boards such as wood species in the board, moisture content, particle size in the surface layer, board density, amount of urea/formaldehyde resin in the surface layer, the varying degree of penetration of resin into the substrate, etc.
• Other factors may be connected to the production line including line speed of conveyor, hardener dosage, thickness of the board, etc.
• changes may occur in the resin itself.
• Such changing properties or characteristics of the boards and/or production line factors can result in non-uniform resin-application of the boards. Furthermore, they can entail over-dosage of resin, which, in turn, may lead to higher costs (due to the fact that an unnecessary large amount of resin is used), fibre aberrations such as erection of fibres in the surface layer of the substrate causing a rough surface of the board, which, in turn, may give rise to the so called "orange peel" effect. Moreover, over-dosage may result in, inter alia, discolouration of the applied surface and blisters in the substrate-layer interface. Under-dosage of resin is also a serious problem, which, for example, may lead to that the applied layer disengages from the board. Hence, it is essential that the resin dosage is accurately adjusted with respect to these varying properties of the specific board, changed characteristics of the production line and/or the resin itself etc.
• Another parameter of importance in production of layered substrates is the penetration of resin into the substrates, which is closely related to the presence of pores in the ' substrate.
• the phenomenon of penetration of resin is essential for the quality of the layered product. This is owing to the fact that the amount of applied resin penetrating into the substrates does not take part in the glue joint in the gluing process of the product, which of course depends on the penetration depth.
• Penetration into a substrate like a particleboard might be related to parameters such as moisture content, hydrophobic properties of the substrate surface, presence of pores on a macroscopic scale due to distance between sawdust particles forming the board surface but also on a microscopic scale due to presence of resin channels, bordered pits and lumens of the tracheids in the wood material.
• the presence of pores in a particleboard is closely related to the permeability of the particleboard. Permeability is measured by simply measuring the transport of air through the board.
• Other analytical tools which might have potential of measuring responses related to penetration is contact angle analysis in static and dynamic mode.
• WO 2004/094947 discloses a method for spectroscopically monitoring resin-application of veneer-wood sheets during travel in an assembly line.
• Spectroscopic instrumentation for monitoring applied resin is calibrated by measurements of predetermined resin applications to reference-test-samples so as to provide a predetermined relationship enabling monitoring of applied resin during commercial production of a veneer-wood product using the visible light spectrum and near infrared extending to 2500 nm.
• the spectroscopic measurement is performed directly after the resin applicator by means of a probe adapted to enable a selection of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation within the above-mentioned range.
• the method according to WO 2004/094947, Mbachu et al. does not take into account effects such as, for example, the degree of penetration of resin into the substrate.
• moisture content of the substrate might vary between different substrates.
• the resin used for example, urea/formaldehyde (UF) or phenol/formaldehyde (PF) also contains water, there is an considerable risk of interference from the water (in the resin and in the substrate) in the NIR spectra when the resin application is measured using the methods disclosed in WO 2004/094947, Mbachu et al.
• the substrates may also contain amounts of UF resin load in the surface layer, which, in addition, may vary between different substrates. This can induce errors in the NIR spectra when the resin application is measured using the methods disclosed in WO 2004/094947, Mbachu et al.
• An object of the present invention is to provide an improved method and system for monitoring or controlling parameters, e.g. resin dosage or permeability of the substrates, in the production of layered substrates, such as layered wood based products.
• Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved method and system for monitoring or controlling resin application in the production of layered substrates, such as layered wood based products, with respect to accuracy of resin dosage.
