Definitions
- the invention relates to a curtain applicator for coating a running paper, cardboard or other fibrous web with at least one liquid to pasty application medium, comprising a above the fibrous web and spaced from her machine-wide application head with at least one application medium chamber, in each case at least one opening for the the application head emits the at least one application medium in the form of a free-falling curtain to the fibrous web and wherein the applicator head or the opening is connected to at least one application medium supply line, in the various facilities for collecting or buffering, venting, Filtering, temperature control, flow control, etc. are involved.
- the dosage does not apply because there is no excess. That is, when curtain coating only the amounts are applied, which should ultimately remain on the substrate. Consequently, the quantities of application medium which have to be pumped to the curtain applicator are very small.
- the curtain coating also requires a venting of the coating color, because the curtain produced by the commission and is very sensitive and causes problems due to gas (air) content even before the actual coating. Moreover, in curtain coating plants, it is necessary to keep the system clean. Especially with a job media change a meticulous, time-consuming cleaning is required.
- the application medium in particular pigment-containing coating color in the feed system is finely filtered.
- This is important because of the generally small gap width of the dispensing nozzles, which is usually around 0.2 to 0.4 mm.
- a partial clogging of the nozzles (which is referred to as plugging formation) has fatal consequences, especially in curtain applicators. Namely, there is a beam splitting with contraction of the curtain edges. On the fibrous web these edges lead to a compared to the target repeatedly excessive amount of stain, which is later also rudimentary not dried.
- the negative sequence is that a strong color build-up occurs on subsequent rolls within a machine for the production and / or coating of the fibrous web, which is why too much cleaning effort is necessary.
- curtain applicators with filter are, for example, from the EP 1533418 , of the EP 1518962 or the US 5,985030 known.
- At least one filter is provided for the respective application medium, wherein the filter is directly connected to the opening of the application medium chamber and wherein the filter has a conical filter insert with a small mesh size between 0.1 and 0.4 mm.
- the filter is installed immediately in front of the clip opening or integrated into the at least one opening.
- the filter is a so-called “police filter” which is present as the last element in front of this opening to the application medium chamber or in the opening.
- the mesh size is adjusted approximately to the width of the nozzle gap.
- the installation of the filter is dependent on the number and arrangement of the openings or nozzle entries. Thus, it may be appropriate in certain cases, if only one opening and thus only a single filter is present.
- the opening and the filter can be arranged on one of the end faces of the applicator head, ie either on the drive side or on the driver's side of the machine.
- This version is particularly suitable for so-called slot dies (slot dies) and small machine width.
- the opening and thus the filter can also be arranged alternately approximately in the middle of the machine-width application head. This version is especially designed for so-called sliding layer or cascade nozzles (Slide Dies) and small machine width.
- the opening may be at both ends of the applicator head, i. be arranged on leader and drive side of the machine.
- This version will be chosen for Slot Dies (Slot Dies) with large machine width.
- An alternative embodiment is also that a plurality of openings are arranged distributed over the width of the applicator head.
- This version is especially designed for so-called sliding layer or cascade nozzles (Slide Dies) and larger machine widths
- multiple filters can also be retrofitted into existing paint feed systems.
- the invention is applicable for both single-layer and multi-layer curtain applicators. In the latter case of application, a filter is thus used for one application medium or one coating color or one layer.
- curtain applicator comes as already described both a slot (Slot Die) and a slide layer nozzle (Slide Die) into consideration.
- front side of the applicator head can be connected to at least one bypass line.
- the relatively small proportion of the application medium, which has drained off through the withdrawal line or withdrawal lines, can be returned to the media preparation. This then returns together with fresh application medium to at least one supply line.
- curtain coater 1 Shown in the example of the FIG. 1 a curtain coater 1 as part of a fibrous web making machine or coater.
- the curtain coater 1 is used to coat a running paper, cardboard or other fibrous web 2 with a liquid to pasty application medium 3 for the purpose of their refinement or improvement of their printing properties.
- the curtain applicator unit 1 comprises a machine-width application head 4 arranged above the fibrous web 2 and spaced therefrom, with an application medium chamber 7 extending also in the width direction from the left end side 5 to the right end side 6.
- An opening or nozzle inlet 8 opens into this chamber 7 for the one application medium 3.
- this opening 8 is arranged on the left-hand side 5 shown in the figure, which is located on the drive side TS of the machine.
- the application head 4 is the application medium 3 in the form of a free-falling curtain 9 to the fibrous web 2 from.
- the opening 8 is connected on the one hand with a coating medium supply line 10, in which various facilities for collection or buffering, venting, filtering, temperature control, flow control, etc. are included, which are designated overall for the purpose of simplifying the illustration with 11.
- the application head 4 is provided with a bypass line 12 for discharging the application medium 3.
- a filter 13 is installed immediately before or in the at least one opening or nozzle inlet 8.
- This filter 13 serves as a so-called "police filter”, which is arranged as the last element in front of the opening 8 to the application medium chamber 7 and enters into action immediately before the nozzle inlet.
- FIG. 1 example shown is only one feed opening 8 for the an existing application medium chamber 7 and thus only a filter 13 clearly shown.
- Dash-dot lines indicate that, alternatively, an opening 8 'and thus a filter 13' may also be provided on the right-hand side 6 or guide side FS or alternatively approximately in the center of the machine-width application head 4 (marked 8 "and 13") or also on Leader and drive side or evenly distributed over the width of the applicator head 4 (marked with 8 '"and 13"') can be arranged.
- the filter 13 or 13 ', 13 ", 13"' has a conical filter insert 14 with a mesh width Mw between 0.1 and 0.4 mm, whereby a very fine filtering is achieved.
- FIG. 1 For completeness is in FIG. 1 in addition to existing vent lines 15 which branch off to the top, including shut-off devices 16 and a drip pan 17 for outside the width B of the fibrous web 2 (overboard driving) delivered medium or curtain edge portions 18 via a discharge line 19 the color preparation process or be fed in the circuit of the medium supply 10 shown.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Vorhangauftragswerk zur Beschichtung einer laufenden Papier-, Karton- oder anderen Faserstoffbahn mit wenigstens einem flüssigen bis pastösen Auftragsmedium, umfassend einen oberhalb der Faserstoffbahn und von ihr beabstandet angeordneten maschinenbreiten Auftragskopf mit wenigstens einer Auftragsmediumskammer, in die jeweils wenigstens eine Öffnung für das betreffende Auftragsmedium mündet, wobei der Auftragskopf das wenigstens eine Auftragsmedium in Form eines frei fallenden Vorhangs an die Faserstoffbahn abgibt und wobei der Auftragskopf bzw. die Öffnung verbunden ist mit wenigstens einer Auftragsmediums-Zuführleitung, in die diverse Einrichtungen zur Sammlung bzw. Pufferung, Entlüftung, Filterung, Temperierung, Mengenregelung usw. eingebunden sind.The invention relates to a curtain applicator for coating a running paper, cardboard or other fibrous web with at least one liquid to pasty application medium, comprising a above the fibrous web and spaced from her machine-wide application head with at least one application medium chamber, in each case at least one opening for the the application head emits the at least one application medium in the form of a free-falling curtain to the fibrous web and wherein the applicator head or the opening is connected to at least one application medium supply line, in the various facilities for collecting or buffering, venting, Filtering, temperature control, flow control, etc. are involved.
Beim Vorhangstreichen entfällt ja die Dosierung, weil es keinen Überschuss gibt. Das heißt beim Vorhangstreichen werden nur die Mengen aufgebracht, die im Endeffekt auf dem Substrat verbleiben sollen. Folglich sind die Mengen an Auftragsmedium, die zum Vorhang Auftragswerk gepumpt werden müssen, sehr gering. Das Vorhangstreichen erfordert auch eine Entlüftung der Streichfarbe, weil der vom Auftragswerk erzeugte und abzugebende Vorhang sehr empfindlich ist und aufgrund von Gas-(Luft)-Gehalten schon im Vorfeld der eigentlichen Beschichtung Probleme verursacht. Überdies ist es in Vorhangauftragswerken notwendig, dass das System sauber gehalten wird. Vor allem bei einem Auftragsmediumswechsel ist eine penible, aufwändige Reinigung erforderlich.When painting the curtain, the dosage does not apply because there is no excess. That is, when curtain coating only the amounts are applied, which should ultimately remain on the substrate. Consequently, the quantities of application medium which have to be pumped to the curtain applicator are very small. The curtain coating also requires a venting of the coating color, because the curtain produced by the commission and is very sensitive and causes problems due to gas (air) content even before the actual coating. Moreover, in curtain coating plants, it is necessary to keep the system clean. Especially with a job media change a meticulous, time-consuming cleaning is required.
Bei allen Streichaggregaten, somit auch beim Vorhangstreichen wird das Auftragsmedium, insbesondere pigmenthaltige Streichfarbe im Zulaufsystem fein gefiltert. Dies ist wichtig wegen der im Regelfall mit ca. 0,2 bis 0,4mm vorhandenen geringen Spaltweite der Abgabedüsen. Ein partielles Verstopfen der Düsen (was als so genannte Plugging-Bildung bezeichnet wird) hat besonders in Vorhangauftragswerken fatale Folgen. Es kommt nämlich zu einer Strahlteilung mit Kontraktion der Vorhangränder. Auf der Faserstoffbahn führen diese Ränder zu einer gegenüber dem Soll mehrfach überhöhten Strichmenge, die später auch ansatzweise nicht getrocknet wird. Die Negativfolge ist, dass ein starker Farbaufbau an nachfolgenden Walzen innerhalb einer Maschine zur Herstellung und/oder zum Streichen der Faserstoffbahn auftritt, weshalb ein zu hoher Reinigungsaufwand notwendig ist. Außerdem besteht eine hohe Abrissgefahr der Faserstoffbahn und zusätzlich noch die Gefahr der Beschädigungen von Kunststoff- oder Gummiwalzen, wie beispielsweise im Kalander. Auch das Verkleben von Lagen der Faserstoffbahn am Aufroller kann entstehen und zu hohen Ausschussmengen führen.In all coating units, thus also in curtain coating, the application medium, in particular pigment-containing coating color in the feed system is finely filtered. This is important because of the generally small gap width of the dispensing nozzles, which is usually around 0.2 to 0.4 mm. A partial clogging of the nozzles (which is referred to as plugging formation) has fatal consequences, especially in curtain applicators. Namely, there is a beam splitting with contraction of the curtain edges. On the fibrous web these edges lead to a compared to the target repeatedly excessive amount of stain, which is later also rudimentary not dried. The negative sequence is that a strong color build-up occurs on subsequent rolls within a machine for the production and / or coating of the fibrous web, which is why too much cleaning effort is necessary. In addition, there is a high risk of demolition of the fibrous web and in addition the risk of damage to plastic or rubber rollers, such as in the calender. The sticking of layers of the fibrous web on the reel can also occur and lead to high rejects.
) Das partielle Verstopfen kann trotz feiner Filtrierung auftreten, da zwischen dem Filter noch Ventile, zum Beispiel zum Spülen oder zur Bypassführung, Schläuche und Rohrleitungen angeordnet sind. Dort können sich überall in Totzonen, Übergängen und Absätzen usw. Partikel ansammeln und aufbauen, die dann im Betrieb des Vorhangauftragswerkes, insbesondere bei Neustart, die Pluggings - also partiellen Verstopfungen - bilden. Vorhangauftragswerke mit Filter sind bspw. aus der
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung ein Vorhangauftragswerk anzugeben, bei dem partielle Verstopfungen vermieden werden.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a curtain applicator, are avoided in the partial blockages.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass wenigstens ein Filter für das jeweilige Auftragsmedium vorgesehen ist, wobei der Filter unmittelbar mit der Öffnung der Auftragsmediumkammer in Verbindung steht und wobei der Filter einen kegelförmigen Filtereinsatz mit einer kleinen Maschenweite zwischen 0,1 und 0,4 mm aufweist.The object of the invention is achieved with the features of claim 1. According to the invention, it is provided that at least one filter is provided for the respective application medium, wherein the filter is directly connected to the opening of the application medium chamber and wherein the filter has a conical filter insert with a small mesh size between 0.1 and 0.4 mm.
Das ist dadurch gelöst, dass der Filter installiert ist unmittelbar vor der Klammeröffnung oder integriert ist in die wenigstens eine Öffnung. Der Filter ist ein so genannter "Polizeifilter", der als letztes Element vor dieser Öffnung zur Auftragsmediumskammer oder aber in der Öffnung vorhanden ist. Im Gegensatz zu den bestehenden Vorhangauftragswerken sind unmittelbar vor der Öffnung keine Ventile, Verzweigungen, Schläuche oder ähnliche Elemente mehr vorhanden. Partielle Verstopfungen werden zuverlässig vermieden.This is achieved in that the filter is installed immediately in front of the clip opening or integrated into the at least one opening. The filter is a so-called "police filter" which is present as the last element in front of this opening to the application medium chamber or in the opening. In contrast to the existing curtain applicators, there are no valves, branches, hoses or similar elements immediately before the opening. Partial blockages are reliably avoided.
Als weitere Vorteile ergeben sich verkürzte Reinigungszeiten des Auftragswerkes, geringe Kosten, verbesserte Runnability und Qualität des Auftrags. Die Maschenweite ist in etwa an die Weite des Düsenspalts angepasst. Damit wird das für den Vorhangauftrag zu verwendende Auftragsmedium unmittelbar vor dem Auftrag sehr fein gefiltert und Verstopfungen sind nicht mehr zu befürchten.Further advantages result in shorter cleaning times of the commissioned work, low cost, improved runnability and quality of the job. The mesh size is adjusted approximately to the width of the nozzle gap. Thus, the application medium to be used for the curtain application is filtered very fine immediately before the job and blockages are no longer to be feared.
Der Einbau des Filters ist abhängig von der Anzahl und Anordnung der Öffnungen bzw. Düseneintritte. So kann in bestimmten Fällen zweckmäßig sein, wenn nur eine Öffnung und damit auch nur ein einziger Filter vorhanden ist. Bei dieser Ausführung können die Öffnung und der Filter an einer der Stirnseiten des Auftragskopfes, also entweder an der Triebseite oder an der Führerseite der Maschine angeordnet sein. Diese Ausführung ist besonders für so genannte Schlitzdüsen (Slot Dies) und geringer Maschinenbreite zweckmäßig. Die Öffnung und damit der Filter, können auch alternierend in etwa mittig des maschinenbreiten Auftragskopfes angeordnet sein. Diese Ausführung ist besonders für so genannte Gleitschicht- bzw. Kaskadendüsen (Slide Dies) und geringer Maschinenbreite gedacht.The installation of the filter is dependent on the number and arrangement of the openings or nozzle entries. Thus, it may be appropriate in certain cases, if only one opening and thus only a single filter is present. In this embodiment, the opening and the filter can be arranged on one of the end faces of the applicator head, ie either on the drive side or on the driver's side of the machine. This version is particularly suitable for so-called slot dies (slot dies) and small machine width. The opening and thus the filter can also be arranged alternately approximately in the middle of the machine-width application head. This version is especially designed for so-called sliding layer or cascade nozzles (Slide Dies) and small machine width.
Möglich ist aber auch eine Ausführung bei der mehrere Öffnungen pro Auftragsmediumskammer und damit mehrere Filter vorhanden sind. In diesem Fall kann die Öffnung jeweils an beiden Stirnseiten des Auftragskopfes, d.h. an Führer- und Triebseite der Maschine angeordnet sein. Diese Ausführung wird man für Schlitzdüsen (Slot Dies) wählen mit großer Maschinenbreite.But also possible is an embodiment in which several openings per application medium chamber and thus more filters are available. In this case, the opening may be at both ends of the applicator head, i. be arranged on leader and drive side of the machine. This version will be chosen for Slot Dies (Slot Dies) with large machine width.
Eine alternative Ausführung besteht auch darin, dass mehrere Öffnungen über die Breite des Auftragskopfes verteilt angeordnet sind. Diese Ausführung ist besonders für so genannte Gleitschicht- bzw. Kaskadendüsen (Slide Dies) und größerer Maschinenbreite gedachtAn alternative embodiment is also that a plurality of openings are arranged distributed over the width of the applicator head. This version is especially designed for so-called sliding layer or cascade nozzles (Slide Dies) and larger machine widths
Der Einbau eines oder wie beschrieben, mehreren Filter kann auch nachträglich in bestehende Farbzulaufsysteme eingebaut werden. Die Erfindung ist anwendbar sowohl für einschichtig (single layer), als auch ein mehrschichtig (multilayer) auftragende Vorhangauftragswerke. Im letztgenannten Anwendungsfall wird damit für jeweils ein Auftragsmedium bzw. eine Streichfarbe bzw. eine Lage ein Filter verwendet. Als Vorhang-Auftragswerk kommt wie schon beschrieben sowohl eine Schlitzdüse (Slot Die) als auch eine Gleitschichtdüse (Slide Die) in Betracht.The installation of one or as described, multiple filters can also be retrofitted into existing paint feed systems. The invention is applicable for both single-layer and multi-layer curtain applicators. In the latter case of application, a filter is thus used for one application medium or one coating color or one layer. As curtain applicator comes as already described both a slot (Slot Die) and a slide layer nozzle (Slide Die) into consideration.
Nachzutragen ist, dass stirnseitig der Auftragskopf mit wenigstens einer Bypassleitung verbunden sein kann.It should be added that the front side of the applicator head can be connected to at least one bypass line.
Bei Kaskaden- bzw. Gleitschichtdüsen (Slide Dies) würde man zwei Stück, also je eine an Führer- und eine an der Triebseite der Maschine anordnen, während man bei Schlitzdüsen (Slot Dies) nur einen Bypass an der Führerseite benötigt.In cascade or sliding nozzle (Slide Dies) you would order two pieces, so one at leader and one on the drive side of the machine, while slot nozzles (Slot Dies) requires only a bypass on the leader's side.
Je nach Fahrweise kann der relativ geringe Anteil des Auftragsmediums, der durch die Abzugsleitung bzw. Abzugsleitungen abgeflossen ist, wieder der Medienaufbereitung zugeführt werden. Dieser gelangt dann zusammen mit frischem Auftragsmedium zur wenigstens einen Zuführleitung zurück.Depending on the mode of operation, the relatively small proportion of the application medium, which has drained off through the withdrawal line or withdrawal lines, can be returned to the media preparation. This then returns together with fresh application medium to at least one supply line.
Außerdem sind noch bei den Schlitzdüsen nach oben hin abzweigende Entlüftungsleitungen vorgesehen. Davon sind in der Regel mehrere vorhanden, die über die Maschinenbreite verteilt sind.In addition, even at the slot nozzles upwards branching vent lines are provided. Of these, there are usually several that are spread across the machine width.

Das Vorhangauftragswerk 1 umfasst einen oberhalb der Faserstoffbahn 2 und von ihr beabstandet angeordneten maschinenbreiten Auftragskopf 4 mit einer innenliegenden, sich ebenfalls in Breitenrichtung von der linken Stirnseite 5 bis zur rechten Stirnseite 6 erstreckenden Auftragsmediumskammer 7. In diese Kammer 7 mündet eine Öffnung bzw. Düseneintritt 8 für das eine Auftragsmedium 3. Diese Öffnung 8 ist im Beispiel an der in der Figur dargestellten linken Stirnseite 5, die sich an der Triebseite TS der Maschine befindet, angeordnet. Der Auftragskopf 4 gibt das Auftragsmedium 3 in Form eines frei fallenden Vorhangs 9 an die Faserstoffbahn 2 ab. Die Öffnung 8 ist verbunden zum einen mit einer Auftragsmediums-Zuführleitung 10, in die diverse Einrichtungen zur Sammlung bzw.
