Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel method of forming webs, sheets, webs or ribbons by spraying fibers for the production of nonwovens.
  • nonwovens there is already at least one method of forming sheets, webs or webs by spraying fibers.
  • airlay dry-forming technique to defibrate, by means of a rotating drum provided with fine teeth, a continuously fed sheet of fibers, and to project these fibers against another rotating drum or carpet to form a web or a veil of fibers.
  • This projection technique is for example marketed by the American company Rando under the brand Rando Webber.
  • Other machines more advanced and also using the principle of fiber projection by a drum lined with fine teeth, such as the Turbo Card of the German company Spinnbau or Air Web of the French company Thibeau are also proposed.
  • the new method of projection formation overcomes the disadvantages of known methods.
  • the same machine is suitable for all types of fibers, natural, artificial or synthetic fibers and artificial or synthetic continuous filaments. It allows, in a single jet, to project at the same time fibers of very different length, having an average length ratio of long fibers compared to short fibers of 10 or even 15 and more.
  • It is a universal jet spray method of forming web in terms of the type of fibers that can be used. It is also universal in terms of mass per square meter of sail or sheet formed, from less than 10 g / m2 to more than 500 g / m2, and this at high productivity, 300 kg / h and per meter of jet and more. It also makes it possible to form webs having ratios of the resistance in the machine direction to the resistance in the very wide transverse direction of 1 to 10 on the same machine.
  • the new training method first consists of dividing the process of forming a sheet, veil or sheet into two stages.
  • an assembly of fibers and / or filaments is held together so that it can be defibrated by a jet of liquid on a first conveying element through which fluid can pass.
  • the first step is to form a regular and unconsolidated layer, without melting points, fibers, or even more layers of fibers superimposed by one or more known forming techniques.

  • the fiber web or layers deposited on the first transport element must be able to be defibrinated under the action of the jet. Tablecloths or leaves that have undergone strong consolidation should be avoided. Good results are obtained with webs or webs of fibers having a breaking length of less than 50 m. It is the free length for which is obtained the breaking of the sheet when it is subjected only to the action of its own weight.
  • the EDANA ERT 20.2-89 standard gives an accurate method for calculating the breaking length from the value measured with a dynamometer of the tensile strength of the sheet. However the use of a dynamometer is not always possible given the poor cohesion of some layers.
  • wet-laid sheets their breaking length is evaluated when they are impregnated with at least 300% water by weight.
  • the second step is to defibrate with a jet of fluid, preferably a water jet, the regular layer disposed on the first transport element, and at the same time as the defibering, to project with the same jet of fluid the fibers against a second transport element arranged facing the first transport element at the injection zone of the fluid jet at a distance greater than the thickness of the web.

Claims (14)

  1. Vorrichtung zur Herstellung einer Bahn auf Faser- und/oder Fädenbasis, mit
    - einem ersten endlosen Transportelement (1), wie einer Fördereinrichtung oder einer gewebten oder microperforierten Trommel, welches einen ersten Innenraum definiert und durch welches Fluid hindurch gelangen kann
    - eine Einrichtung (3) zur Projektion von Fluidstrahlen, wie Wasserstrahlen, auf das erste Transportelement (1) in Richtung eines zweiten Transportelements (2),
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Entfernung vom ersten Transportelement, an der Stelle der Projektion der Strahlen auf dieses und senkrecht gegenüber dem ersten Element an dieser Stelle betrachtet, zum zweiten Transportelement (2) größer ist als die Dicke der Bahn, und dass die Projektionseinrichtung (3) sich in dem Innenraum befindet.
  2. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, gekennzeichnet durch eine Einrichtung zum Zurückhalten einer Faserbahn auf dem ersten Transportelement, welche in Bezug auf die Verlagerungsrichtung des ersten Transportelementes stromauf von der Projektionseinrichtung sowie in dem Innenraum angeordnet ist.
  3. Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, gekennzeichnet durch eine Einrichtung (31) zum Zurückhalten der Faserbahn, die durch eine zusätzliche Ansaugung (38) stromab von dem Bereich zur Projektion von Fluid verlängert ist, wobei der Bereich zur Projektion von Fluid mit umfasst ist, und wobei der Fluidstrahl (33) eine Abgrenzung zwischen den beiden Ansaugbereichen bildet.
  4. Vorrichtung nach einem der vorangehenden Ansprüche, gekennzeichnet durch mechanische Mittel (44) zum Zurückhalten der Faserbahn auf dem ersten Transportelement (40) unmittelbar stromauf von der Einrichtung zur Projektion von Fluidstrahlen (45), wobei die mechanischen Mittel (44) zum Zurückhalten der Faserbahn bevorzugt in Form einer dünnen und flexiblen Schneide vorliegen, um die Faserbahn (40) an das erste Transportelement (41) zu drücken.
  5. Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, gekennzeichnet durch die Verwendung einer Einrichtung zum Zurückhalten der Faserbahn (40) auf dem ersten Transportelement (41) durch einen Ansaugbereich mittels Unterdruck (42) zur gleichen Zeit wie mechanische Mittel zum Zurückhalten der Bahn (44).
  6. Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, gekennzeichnet durch eine Einrichtung zur mechanischen Kompression stromauf von der Projektionseinrichtung in Bezug auf die Verlagerungsrichtung des ersten Transportelementes, wobei die Kompressionseinrichtung bevorzugt ein Mittel zum Anfeuchten aufweist und die Projektionseinrichtung bevorzugt Strahlen in variabler Form und/oder eine variable Anzahl von Strahlen in Abhängigkeit der Stellen zur Projektion der Strahlen auf das erste Transportelement abgibt.
  7. Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, gekennzeichnet durch eine Ansaugeinrichtung an den Projektionsstellen im Inneren des zweiten Transportelements.
  8. Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, gekennzeichnet durch eine Einrichtung zum Zurückhalten der Faserbahn auf dem ersten Transportelement in dem Innenraum und einer Ansaugeinrichtung, welche im Inneren des zweiten Transportelements angeordnet ist.
  9. Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, gekennzeichnet durch ein Mittel zum Regeln der Geschwindigkeit des zweiten Transportelements in Bezug auf jene des ersten in einem Verhältnis, welches zwischen 0,01 und 100, bevorzugt zwischen 0,1 und 10, liegt.
  10. Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, gekennzeichnet durch ein Mittel zum Regeln der Entfernung zwischen den beiden Transportelementen.
  11. Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, gekennzeichnet durch Mittel zum Verlagern des ersten und des zweiten Transportelements in dieselbe Richtung, in die entgegengesetzte Richtung oder in solcher Art, dass die Verlagerungsrichtungen einen Winkel zwischen sich bilden, welcher zwischen 5 und 90 Grad liegt.
  12. Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das zweite Transportelement so beschaffen ist, dass Fluid durch ihn hindurch gelangen kann, und dass ein drittes Transportelement sowie eine zweite Einrichtung zur Projektion von Fluidstrahlen vorgesehen sind, wobei das zweite Transportelement in der Richtung der Strahlen der zweiten Projektionseinrichtung betrachtet zwischen der zweiten Projektionseinrichtung und dem dritten Transportelement an der Stelle der Projektion der Strahlen auf das zweite Transportelement angeordnet ist.
  13. Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Abstand zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Transportelement an der Strahlenprojektionsstelle zwischen 2 und 500 Millimetern liegt, bevorzugt zwischen 5 und 200 Millimetern und besser noch zwischen 20 und 100 Millimetern.
  14. Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, gekennzeichnet durch eine Verfestigungseinrichtung auf dem zweiten Transportelement selbst, oder falls es ein drittes oder weiteres gibt, auf dem letzten Transportelement selbst, wobei die Verfestigungseinrichtung bevorzugt stromab vom zweiten oder, falls es mehrere gibt, vom letzten Transportelement vorgesehen ist.
