Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a structured fibrous web according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a forming belt for producing a structured fibrous web according to the preamble of claim 4.
- the invention also relates to a machine for producing a fibrous web according to the preamble of claim 12.
- aqueous fibrous suspension is usually dehydrated in the so-called former on a forming fabric or between two forming fabrics in a first process step. This drainage is usually supported by suction or blowing elements.
- a conventional tissue former the fibrous web is formed largely flat.
- the volume of a tissue web, the so-called bulk is an essential quality property. Therefore, it is desirable if the tissue web already forms in the former with the highest possible bulk, i. is formed.
- ATMOS TM system e.g. developed by the applicant the so-called ATMOS TM system.
- the object is fully achieved with regard to the method by a method for producing a structured fibrous web according to the characterizing part of claim 1, as well as with respect to the forming belt by a forming belt for a machine for producing a fibrous web according to the characterizing part of claim 4
- the structure of the layer of polymer foam, which transferred to the fibrous web is a pore structure of the layer of polymer foam.
- the pores of the layer of polymer foam which are open to the paper-contacting side of the layer, form those pocket-like structures in which the pulp fibers deposit during sheet formation, thereby producing a tissue web having a noticeably higher volume.
- the volume-increasing effect is therefore the same as in the prior art woven structures.
- commercially available foams, in particular flexible foams can be used for the layer of polymer foam.
- the elaborate weaving process is eliminated.
- the resulting structures in the web are irregular, since the pores in the foam are largely distributed statistically.
- the layer of polymer foam has a pore density of less than less than 45 PPI, in particular less than 30 PPI. In such a case, the pores often have a size which is very advantageous for the transfer of the structure to the paper web.
- the support structure is formed by a fabric or includes this.
- the support structure by other structures, For example, by knits, scrim, foil or membrane structures is formed, or comprises.
- the layer of polymer foam has an anisotropic pore structure.
- anisotropic structure the shape of at least a majority (often more than 50%, or even more than 80%) of the individual pores deviates from the isotropic spherical shape.
- the pores have a greater extent in the machine direction of the clothing and in the transverse direction of the clothing than in the thickness direction.
- Such a pore structure can be achieved, for example, by compressing a foam layer having an isotropic pore structure.
- such an anisotropic pore structure allows the water to be quickly directed away from the paper web in the direction of the support structure.
- the foam layer usually provides less storage volume.
- connection of the layer of polymer foam to the support structure, the layer of polymer foam with the support structure can advantageously be realized by means of gluing or welding, in particular by means of NIR transmission welding.
- the invention comprises a machine for producing a fibrous web, in particular a tissue web, characterized in that the machine has at least one forming belt according to one of claims 4 -1. Such a machine is suitable for carrying out the method according to one of claims 1 to 3 and for producing a structured fibrous web.
- Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a structured Formierbands according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows schematically the formation of the fibrous web on the forming belt
- FIG. 3 shows a section of the surface of a roller for transferring an external structure to a layer of polymer foam.
- FIG. 4 shows a view of a structured forming belt according to the invention.
- the structured forming belt 1 comprises a fabric 3, which provides the support structure 3.
- a layer of polymer foam 2 is attached on this support structure 3.
- This layer of polymer foam 2 also provides the paper contacting side 5 of the structured forming belt 1.
- the pores 4 of the layer of polymer foam 2 are anisotropic in the fabric shown in FIG. This can be realized, for example, by compacting a standard polymer foam, which usually has isotropic pores, by means of a compacting step by means of pressure and / or temperature.
- a possible manufacturing method for one of the patterned forming belt as shown in FIG. 1 will be explained.
- a woven support structure 3 is provided. This is to be woven from polyester filaments.
- a foam is provided, for example, in the form of a reticulated flexible polyurethane foam. In the example, this has a thickness of 4 mm and a pore density of 45 PPI.
- a polymer foam having a pore density of less than 45 PPI, in particular also less than 30 PPI.
- a suitable method for bonding the layers of polymer foam 2 to the support structure 3 is laser transmission welding.
- an NIR laser with a wavelength of 940 nm is used. This one was with a Joining pressure of approx. 20N / cm pressed. It is particularly advantageous for laser transmission welding when the polymer window 2 completely or partially absorbs the laser light, while the support structure 3 for the laser light is completely or largely transparent. This was realized in the example by dyeing the polymer foam, where an anthracite-colored foam was used. By choosing a polyester base fabric, the laser light could first penetrate the support structure 3, and was thereafter absorbed by the polymer foam. Thus, the heat necessary for welding at the junction between support structure 3 and foam layer 2 was generated. This is a common principle in laser transmission welding.
- the laminate thus bonded was then compacted at a temperature of about 190 ° under pressure.
- the resulting fabric 1 had a permeability of 400CFM at a thickness (measured at 6kPa pressure) of 1.07mm.
- the proportion of the support structure 3 was 0.49 mm, the proportion of the foam layer 2 0.58 mm. At a foam starting thickness of 4mm, it was compacted by the process to 14.5% of its original thickness.
- This paper-contacting side 5 is due to the layer of polymer foam 2 for Provided. Due to the pore structure of the polymer window 2, some of the fibers 6 can penetrate into the layer of polymer foam 2 through larger pores 4 and deposit in these pores 4. In this way, the structure of the Formierbands 1, in particular the pore structure of the layer of polymer foam 2 is at least partially transferred to the fibrous web. This effect of depositing fibers in the pore structure can be assisted by a proper choice of polymer foam. Thus, foams having a pore density of less than 45 PPI, in particular less than 30 PPI, can generally be advantageous. However, depending on the suitability of the pulp (fiber length, degree of fibrillation) foams with other pore densities can be used successfully.
- a structured fibrous web which has been produced by means of a method according to the invention can have great advantages over a comparable non-structured fibrous web, for example with regard to thickness and porosity. Due to the greater thickness and fiber webs can be produced with lower basis weight, which nevertheless have all the desired product properties. By the thus achievable saving of fiber material, the method is also economically very advantageous.
- test result is intended to illustrate which effects can be achieved by a structured fibrous web produced according to the invention in comparison to a web formed on a conventional SSB screen:
- FIG. 3 shows a section of the surface of a roller for transferring an external structure to a layer of polymer shells 2.
- the roller has both raised structural elements 11a, 11b, which are embossed into a layer of polymer foam 2 become.
- the section in Figure 3 a plurality of structural elements 10, which are designed as round recesses in the roll surface. These structural elements are transferred to the foam layer 2 as raised elements.
- both the roll surface and the raised structural elements 11a, 11b are made of metal.
- these raised structural elements 1 1 a, 1 1 b wholly or partially made of a non-thermal conductive material, e.g. consist of a polymer.
- the transfer of the structural elements 10, 1 1 a, 1 1 b on the polymer foam 2 by means of such or similar roller can in principle be done in a separate step in the run-up to or subsequent to the production of the fabric, the transfer is often advantageously together with the Compacting the foam layer done. In this way, a process step in the production of the fabric can be omitted. In addition, no additional devices for this transfer is necessary.
- FIG. 4 shows a greatly enlarged view of a structured forming belt 1 according to the invention.
- the view is made on the paper-contacting side of the Formierbandes. 1
- fibers 6 will deposit both on the webs 7 of polymeric material, as well as completely or partially penetrate into the pores 4 of the layer of polymer foam.
- the diameter "d" of such a pore is approximately 1 mm in Figure 4.
- the pore sizes in a structured forming belt will have a certain distribution.
