Abstract

A method for the production of fuel pellets or briquettes by impregnating rope made from wood wool in a bath of wax, especially paraffin wax, and then cooling and cutting the rope into pieces, involves drawing the rope continuously through the wax bath and then continuously cooling it and separating the pellets from the rope before the absorbed wax finally solidifies. An independent claim is included for fuel pellets made by the method described above, in which the density of wax on the outside of the pellets is greater than that inside the pellets.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Abbrandkörpern aus einem aus Holzwolle gedrehten Seil, das in einem Wachsbad mit Wachs, insbesondere Paraffin, getränkt und nach einer Abkühlung zu den Abbrandkörpern in Stücke getrennt wird, sowie auf einen nach diesem Verfahren hergestellten Abbrandkörper.The invention relates to a method for producing Abbrandkörpern of a twisted of wood wool rope, which is impregnated in a wax bath with wax, in particular paraffin, and separated after cooling to the Abbrandkörpern pieces, and to a Abbrandkörper produced by this method.

Dazu ist es bekannt ( EP 1 375 632 B1 ) aus Holzwollspänen Seilstücke zu drehen, die in einen Tauchkorb gelegt und anschließend vollständig in ein Tauchbecken mit flüssigem Paraffin eingetaucht werden. Nach einer gewissen Tauchzeit werden der Tauchkorb aus dem Tauchbecken herausgehoben, die Seilstücke abtropfen gelassen, wonach nach einem vollständigen Erstarren des Paraffins ein Zuschneiden der Seilstücke zu den Abbrandkörpern in der gewünschten Länge erfolgt. Damit wird ein Abbrandkörper aus Holzwolle und Paraffin geschaffen, der im Inneren eine höhere Paraffindichte als in seinem äußeren Bereich aufweisen soll.It is known ( EP 1 375 632 B1 ) turn pieces of wood shavings, which are placed in a dipping basket and then completely immersed in a dip tank with liquid paraffin. After a certain dive time, the dive basket are lifted out of the dip tank, the rope pieces allowed to drain, after which a complete solidification of the paraffin, a cutting of the rope pieces to the Abbrandkörpern in the desired length. Thus, a Abbrandkörper of wood wool and paraffin is created, which should have a higher paraffin inside density than in its outer area.

Ein ähnliches Verfahren und eine ähnliche Vorrichtung sind aus der CH 157 291 bekannt, die ebenfalls einen Abbrandkörper aus einem aus Holzwolle gefertigten Seil offenbart. Die Holzwolle wird dazu zu einem festen Seil versponnen, das anschließend auf die Länge der Abbrandkörper zugeschnitten wird. Die auf diese Weise hergestellten Seilstücke werden in einem weiteren Arbeitsschritt mit einem hochwertigen Brennstoff, wie Öl, Petroleum, Paraffin od. dgl. getränkt. Diese bekannten Abbrandkörper sind dabei so aufgebaut, daß sie möglichst viel möglichst schnell abbrennendes Material enthalten.A similar method and a similar device are known from CH 157 291 known, which also discloses a Abbrandkörper of a made of wood wool rope. The wood wool is spun to a solid rope, which is then cut to the length of Abbrandkörper. The pieces of rope produced in this way are in a further step with a high quality fuel, such as oil, petroleum, paraffin od. Like. Soaked. These known Abbrandkörper are constructed so that they contain as much as possible abbrennendes material.

Durch den sich dadurch ergebenden kompakten und dichten Aufbau haben diese vorbekannten Abbrandkörper den Nachteil, daß sie zum rußen und Abtropfen von Brennmittel neigen.Due to the resulting compact and dense structure of these prior art Abbrandkörper have the disadvantage that they tend to cracking and dripping of fuel.

Ausgehend von einem Stand der Technik der eingangs geschilderten Art, liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein wirtschaftliches Verfahren zum Herstellen verbesserter Abbrandkörper bereitzustellen. Damit soll ein Abbrandkörper zum Anzünden fester Brennstoffe geschaffen werden, der sich problemlos anzünden läßt und möglichst schnell eine ausreichend große Flamme erzeugt.Starting from a state of the art of the type described above, the invention has for its object to provide an economical method for producing improved Abbrandkörper. This is a burn-off body to ignite solid fuel to be created, which can be lit easily and as quickly as possible generates a sufficiently large flame.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß das Seil kontinuierlich durch das Wachsbad gezogen und im Anschluß daran kontinuierlich abgekühlt wird, bevor vor dem endgültigen Erstarren des aufgenommenen Wachses die Abbrandkörper vom Seil getrennt werden.The invention solves this problem in that the rope is pulled continuously through the wax bath and is subsequently cooled continuously before the burned body are separated from the rope before the final solidification of the absorbed wax.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens liegt darin, daß das aus Holzwolle gefertigte Seilstück zur Herstellung der Abbrandkörper in verhältnismäßig kurzer Zeit durch das flüssige Wachs gezogen wird, so daß hier ein erheblicher Vorteil in der Produktion gegenüber den Stand der Technik gegeben ist, da die einzelnen Seilstücke nicht einzeln mittels eines Tauchkorbes versenkt und anschließend wieder angehoben und abtropfen gelassen werden müssen, sondern im Gegensatz dazu kontinuierlich durch das Wachsbad gezogen und in einer Fertigungsstraße gefertigt werden. Das verwendete Wachs ist insbesondere ein Hartparaffin, dessen Schmelzpunkt unter 60 °C und oberhalb 50 °C liegt, welches Wachs den Vorteil hat, daß es beim Anzünden sehr rasch schmilzt, unter Ausbildung einer ausreichend großen Flamme mit langer Brenndauer sauber verbrennt und somit die gewünschte anzündende Wirkung erzielt. Bei der Wahl des Wachses und des Wachsanteiles in den Abbrandkörpem ist darauf zu achten, daß die einschlägige europäische Norm EN 1860-3 erfüllt wird. Ein Vorteil dieses Verfahrens liegt darin, daß Teilstücke nicht an die Größe des Tauchkorbes bzw. der Tauchanlage angepaßt werden müssen, sondern daß das Seil in seiner Gesamtheit kontinuierlich durch das Tauchbad gezogen werden kann, wobei auch mehrere Seile kontinuierlich durch das gemeinsame Wachsbad gezogen und zu Abbrandkörpem verarbeitet werden können.A significant advantage of the method is that the made of wood wool rope piece for the production of Abbrandkörper is drawn in a relatively short time by the liquid wax, so that there is a significant advantage in production over the prior art, as the individual Rope pieces not individually sunk by means of a dive basket and then raised again and must be drained, but in contrast continuously drawn through the wax bath and made in a production line. The wax used is in particular a hard paraffin, whose melting point is below 60 ° C and above 50 ° C, which wax has the advantage that it melts very quickly on ignition, burns clean to form a sufficiently large flame with a long burning time and thus the desired firing effect achieved. When selecting the wax and the wax content in the Abbrandkörpem care must be taken that the relevant European standard EN 1860-3 is met. An advantage of this method is that cuts do not have to be adapted to the size of the dive basket or dive, but that the rope in its entirety can be continuously drawn through the dip, with several ropes continuously pulled through the common wax bath and to Abbrandkörpem can be processed.

Weiters ist es erfindungswesentlich, daß das mit Wachs getränkte Seil vor dem Ablängen auf eine Temperatur abgekühlt wird, die vor dem endgültigen Erstarren des aufgenommenen Wachses liegt. In diesem noch warmen Zustand wird das mit Paraffin getränkte Seilstück mittels einer Trennvorrichtung auf die gewünschte Abbrandkörperlänge abgelängt. Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich dabei erwiesen, wenn das Seil vor dem Abtrennen der Abbrandkörper auf eine Temperatur von 25 bis 35 °C, insbesondere 25 bis 30 °C abgekühlt wird, da das Wachs bei dieser Temperatur bereits ausreichend formstabil, aber noch teigig und nicht spröde ist. Durch diese Maßnahme wird einerseits eine Beschädigung der Trennvorrichtung, insbesondere einer Hacke, und anderseits ein Zersplittern des Wachses vermieden.Furthermore, it is essential to the invention that the impregnated with wax rope is cooled before cutting to a temperature which is before the final solidification of the recorded wax. In this still warm state, the paraffin-impregnated rope piece is cut to length by means of a separating device to the desired Abbrandkörperlänge. It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the rope is cooled to a temperature of 25 to 35 ° C, in particular 25 to 30 ° C before separating the Abbrandkörper since the wax at this temperature already sufficiently dimensionally stable, but still doughy and not brittle. By this measure, on the one hand damage to the separator, in particular a hoe, and on the other hand, a splintering of the wax is avoided.

Sollten wenigstens zwei Seile kontinuierlich durch das gemeinsame Wachsbad gezogen werden, so können diese wenigstens zwei Seile in einfacher Weise in einer gemeinsamen Trennvorrichtung zu den Abbrandkörpern verarbeitet und der Ausstoß an Abbrandkörpern vervielfacht werden.If at least two ropes are pulled continuously through the common wax bath, these can be processed in a simple manner in a common separation device to the Abbrandkörpern these at least two ropes and the output of Abbrandkörpern be multiplied.

Weiters bezieht sich die Erfindung auf Abbrandkörper aus mit Wachs, insbesondere Paraffin, getränkten und aus Holzwolle gedrehten Seilstücken, die sich dadurch auszeichnen, die Wachsdichte im äußeren Bereich der Seilstücke höher als im inneren Bereich der Seilstücke ist. Daß die Wachsdicke im äußeren Bereich der Seilstücke höher als im inneren Bereich der Seilstücke ist, kann dadurch gewährleistet werden, daß das Seil kontinuierlich durch das Wachsbad gezogen und im Anschluß daran kontinuierlich abgekühlt wird, wobei das Wachs lediglich von der Umfangsfläche her in das Seil eindringen kann. Der sich dabei ergebende Wachsgehalt der Seilstücke wird in einfacher Weise über die Verweildauer der Seilstücke im Wachsbad und gegebenenfalls die Wachstemperatur eingestellt. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß das im äußeren Bereich vorgesehene Wachs unmittelbar nach einem Anbrennen schmilzt und abbrennt, wodurch auch dieses sofort entzünden wird. Ein Abtropfen von Brandmittel, das gemäß EN 1860-3 zu vermeiden ist, wird dadurch vermieden, daß ein Teil des aufgeschmolzenen Wachses vom eine weniger große Wachsdichte aufweisenden Seilinneren aufgenommen wird.Furthermore, the invention relates to Abbrandkörper of wax, in particular paraffin, impregnated and turned from wood wool rope pieces, which are characterized in that the wax density in the outer region of the rope pieces is higher than in the inner region of the rope pieces. That the wax thickness in the outer region of the rope pieces is higher than in the inner region of the rope pieces, can be ensured that the rope is continuously pulled through the wax bath and subsequently cooled continuously, the wax penetrate only from the peripheral surface forth in the rope can. The resulting wax content of the rope pieces becomes easier Way over the residence time of the rope pieces in the wax bath and optionally set the wax temperature. This has the advantage that the wax provided in the outer region melts and burns immediately after firing, as a result of which this too will ignite immediately. A dripping of fire, which is to be avoided according to EN 1860-3, is avoided by a part of the molten wax is taken up by a less large wax density having cable inside.

Als Wachs empfiehlt sich ein Hartparaffin mit einem Schmelzpunkt zwischen 50 und 58 °C, insbesondere zwischen 52 und 56 °C. Der Gehalt an aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen sollte unter 2 Gew.% und der Schwefelgehalt unter 0,05 Gew.% liegen. Es versteht sich von selbst, daß das Wachs keine als giftig, korrosiv, explosiv, oxidierend, sensibilisierend oder karzinogen einstufbaren Stoffe enthält.As a wax wax is recommended with a melting point between 50 and 58 ° C, in particular between 52 and 56 ° C. The content of aromatic hydrocarbons should be less than 2% by weight and the sulfur content less than 0.05% by weight. It goes without saying that the wax does not contain any substances that can be classified as toxic, corrosive, explosive, oxidizing, sensitizing or carcinogenic.

Gute Abbrandbedingungen für den erfindungsgemäßen Abbrandkörper ergeben sich, wenn die Seilstücke einen Wachsgehalt von zwischen 50 und 70 Vol.% aufweisen. Beispielhaft sei hier angeführt, daß das durch das Wachsbad gezogene Seil zur Aufnahme von 55 Vol.% Wachs eine Verweildauer von rund 8 bis 10 Sekunden im Wachsbad benötigt. Zur Aufnahme von 65 bis 70 % ist eine Verweildauer des Seiles im Wachs von ca. 7 Minuten erforderlich. Ist das Seil anschließend auf eine Trenntemperatur von rund 25 bis 35 °C abgekühlt, wird das Seil mit einem Durchmesser von 20 bis 30 mm auf Abbrandkörper mit einer Länge von 30 bis 70 mm abgetrennt und anschließend auf Raumtemperatur abgekühlt.Good burn-off conditions for the burned-off body according to the invention arise when the rope pieces have a wax content of between 50 and 70% by volume. By way of example, it should be mentioned here that the rope drawn through the wax bath to take up 55% by volume of wax requires a residence time of about 8 to 10 seconds in the wax bath. To take up 65 to 70%, a retention time of the rope in the wax of about 7 minutes is required. If the rope is then cooled to a separation temperature of about 25 to 35 ° C, the rope is separated with a diameter of 20 to 30 mm on Abbrandkörper with a length of 30 to 70 mm and then cooled to room temperature.

Als Holzwolle kommt handelsübliche Wolle von Weichhölzern, insbesondere Fichten bzw. Tannen, zum Einsatz.As wood wool is commercially available wool of softwoods, especially spruce or fir, used.

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung anhand eines Anlagenschemas dargestellt.In the drawing, the invention is illustrated by a plant scheme.

Die Vorrichtung zur Erzeugung eines erfindungsgemäßen Abbrandkörpers umfaßt einen Wachsbehälter 1, eine Abwickelvorrichtung 2, ein Wachsbecken 3, einen Kühltunnel 4 sowie eine Trennvorrichtung 5 und eine Verpackungseinrichtung 6.The device for producing a burned-off body according to the invention comprises a wax container 1, an unwinding device 2, a wax tank 3, a cooling tunnel 4 and a separating device 5 and a packaging device 6.

Gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren werden die aus Holzwolle gedrehten Seile 7 von der Abwickelvorrichtung 2 aus kontinuierlich durch das Wachsbecken 3 gezogen. Dabei werden die Seile 7 mit Wachs getränkt, wobei der Wachsgehalt in den Seilen von der Verweildauer der Seile im Wachsbecken 3 abhängig ist. Anschließend werden die Seile durch den Kühltunnel 4 geleitet, wo sie von einer Wachstemperatur von ca. 50 bis 60 °C auf 25 bis 35 °C bis zur Trennvorrichtung 5 hin abgekühlt werden. Damit wird gewährleistet, daß die Seile, wenn sie im Bereich der Trennvorrichtung 5 angelangt sind, noch nicht ausgehärtet und spröde, sondern noch geschmeidig sind.According to the method of the invention, the ropes 7 made of wood wool are drawn continuously from the unwinding device 2 through the wax basin 3. The ropes 7 are soaked with wax, the wax content in the ropes of the residence time of the ropes in the wax tank 3 is dependent. Subsequently, the ropes are passed through the cooling tunnel 4, where they are cooled from a growth temperature of about 50 to 60 ° C to 25 to 35 ° C to the separator 5 down. This ensures that the ropes, when they have arrived in the region of the separator 5, not yet cured and brittle, but are still supple.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel werden drei Seile gleichzeitig von der Abwickeleinrichtung 2 abgewickelt, durch das Wachsbecken 2 gezogen und anschließend nach einem Abkühlen im Kühltunnel 4 in der Trennvorrichtung 5 abgelängt.In the illustrated embodiment, three ropes are unwound simultaneously from the unwinding device 2, pulled through the wax tank 2 and then cut to length after cooling in the cooling tunnel 4 in the separator 5.
