Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the gluing of comminuted lignocellulosic particles in the course of the production of material panels, wherein a glue that can be hardened by temperature and/or the addition of hardeners and comprises at least one formation of colloids is brought to a dispersing unit via a volume flow-adjustable conveyor and conveyor lines, in which the glue is homogenized by means of a crushing device and a mixing device and is finally conveyed via conveying lines to nozzle arrangements which spray the glue onto the particles in a mixing chamber.
  • Material panels are now made from different crushed lignocellulosic particles and for different requirements. Closely related material panels are so-called chipboard and so-called fiberboard. Despite their relatively close relationship, there are still significant differences in the manufacturing process, and technological knowledge is not readily transferrable from one manufacturing process to another.
  • Dispersing units work according to the rotor-stator principle with high shear gradients. They are also referred to as a homogenizer.
  • the dispersing unit has an inlet and an outlet for the glue.
  • the glue is accelerated very strongly by an inner rotor ring, in order to then be braked and sheared on a stator ring. In this way, solids and/or droplets are effectively broken up and distributed homogeneously.
  • the extremely fine distribution of solids (suspensions) and liquids (emulsions) in the supplied glue is brought about by an elaborately coordinated interaction of various crushing processes. At the same time, the centrifugal force in the rotor causes the container contents to circulate. Solids and/or droplets are reliably crushed and distributed homogeneously.
  • such dispersing units have essentially been used in the course of the production of fiberboard, in order to disperse mechanical impurities and reaction products that have not been completely dissolved.
  • the problem associated with this glue for wetting the wood chips is that the glue changes its consistency and reactivity so quickly as a result of the dispersion that it already reacts in the pipelines, nozzles and mixing chambers, i.e. before the subsequent panel pressing process, in an undesired manner and hardens at least partially and sticks to the walls.
  • a glue for wetting lignocellulosic particles, in particular wood chips is to ensure sufficient viscosity and reactivity for the production of the material panels.
  • the object is achieved in that the conveyed amount of glue is determined and assigned to a speed of the dispersing unit in an evaluation unit, and this speed is then set.
  • the speed of the dispersing unit is changed and set as automatically as possible with a control program.
  • the speed of the dispersing unit is then primarily responsible for the intensity of the reactivity of the glue.
  • the reactivity of the glue is closely related to the pH change that it undergoes as a result of the treatment in the dispersing unit.
  • an optimal setting for the ratio of reactivity was possible in each case to be set at an open time.
  • the optimal setting can even be used to save at least 10% of the amount of glue that is required in conventional processes.
  • the glue changes its reactivity by adjusting the speed in such a way that finally sufficient adhesion of the chips is ensured during pressing.
  • the invention assumes that the parameters of the production process have been incorporated into the method as the basis for the settings. These include, for example, the layer thickness that the glued chips should form and the production speed. If these parameters are changed, the chip throughput and thus the glue throughput will of course also change, which would immediately lead to different reactivities of the glue if the speed of the dispersing unit remained the same.
  • the data is stored in the evaluation unit and can be assigned to the most suitable speed of the disperser.
  • the method is preferably used for chip gluing.
  • the amount of glue fed is determined, for example, by adjusting the glue feed device (e.g. the speed a feed pump) or by measuring devices for volume flow measurement.
  • a direct assignment of the glue flow rate and the speed of the rotor of the dispersing unit is stored in the evaluation unit. This is determined in advance empirically or by mathematical calculation methods. The speed increases with increasing flow rate in order to achieve the same degree of homogenization. Other influencing factors can also be taken into account, so that a multivariate evaluation can be provided.
  • the ambient temperature determined via at least one temperature sensor is also taken into account in the evaluation unit.
  • the amount of hardener also determines the setting process.
  • the change in viscosity over time with a hardener is nowadays calculable and can be included in the allocation of glue quantity to the speed of the disperser.
  • the addition of the amount of hardener can also be controlled and/or regulated taking into account the data present and/or determined in the evaluation unit.
  • the data stored in the evaluation unit takes into account whether the glue to be dispersed is intended for a middle layer or a top layer.
  • the layers of wood-based panels require different amounts of glue and possibly even different reaction behavior. For example, this can simply be due to the fact that the ratios of the layer thicknesses of middle layers and top layers differ. In addition, different chip sizes can be used in the middle layer than in the top layer.
  • relatively thick middle layers understandably also require more glue in order to achieve the desired strengths.
  • Providing the middle layer with the same homogenized glue as, for example, relatively thin cover layers means that the glue in the middle layer of a wood fiber board is less reactive than in the cover layers, to which a hot press belt is usually also fed. Such an imbalance would be extremely undesirable. Therefore it makes sense to specify in the evaluation unit whether the glue is homogenized for a middle or top layer. Of course, this statement applies analogously to relatively thick top layers and a thin middle layer vice versa.
  • the glue for the top layers and the middle layer is produced separately, so that the glue has the right consistency and reactivity in the manufacturing process of the wood-based panel.
  • An infrared or near-infrared sensor which is preferably used, is particularly suitable as the measuring device.
  • the invention is based on the 1 , an exemplary schematic diagram, explains the process in more detail.
  • FIG. 1 shows a pump 2 for the binder or glue with which lignocellulosic particles 10 fed to a mixing chamber 5 are sprayed via a nozzle arrangement 6 in the mixing chamber 5.
  • FIG. The nozzle arrangement 6 can be single-component or multi-component nozzles.
  • the pressure in a nozzle can range up to that of high pressure nozzles (about 60 to 100 bar) to break up the glue or binder into very fine droplets.
  • the nozzles can be controlled and regulated individually, possibly even independently of one another.
  • the path of the glue runs from the pump 2 via the delivery lines 15c and 15a to the nozzle arrangement 6. On the way hardener can be metered into the glue from a reservoir 3 via a pump 4.
  • the link between the conveying lines 15c and 15a is the dispersing unit 1, which is driven by the motor 7.
  • Dispersing units work according to the rotor-stator principle with high shear gradients. They are also referred to as a homogenizer.
  • the dispersing unit has an inlet at the end of the conveying line 15c and an outlet for the glue at the beginning the delivery line 15a.
  • the glue is very strongly accelerated by an inner rotor rim, not shown, in order to then be decelerated and sheared at a stator rim, also not shown. In this way, solids and/or droplets are effectively broken up and distributed homogeneously.
  • the extremely fine distribution of solids (suspensions) and liquids (emulsions) in the supplied glue is brought about by an elaborately coordinated interaction of various crushing processes.
  • the reactivity of the glue can be influenced by the speed of the rotor. This speed adjustment can be used very profitably because the throughput of particles 10 can fluctuate or vary as desired for different products, thicknesses and individual layers in the material panel to be produced.
  • speeds are stored in an evaluation unit 8 , one of which is selected as a function of various measured parameters and passed on to the motor 7 via a controller 9 and the control line 13 .
  • the various parameters are queried and compared with the assignment to the rotor speed to be set, in order to then set the engine speed.
  • the most important parameter is the conveyed amount of glue. Its measure can be determined, for example, via the speed of the pump 2 and passed on to the evaluation unit via a signal line 14c. Of course, other measuring methods and measuring devices can also be used as an alternative within the scope of the invention.
  • Another important parameter is the amount of hardener that may be added to the glue. This can also be metered, for example, via the hardener pump 4, with the set value also being transferred to the evaluation unit 8 via the signal line 14a.
  • the ambient temperature in 1 is brought to the evaluation unit via a temperature sensor 12 and the signal line 14b can be an influencing parameter.
  • the glue just delivered is used for a top layer or a middle layer.
  • This parameter can be significant because different reactivities of the glue may be required. So it is possible to use the in 1 illustrated plant in multiple copies for different tasks, so provide for example for top and middle layers of the material panel.
  • Chemical and/or physical properties of the glue, at least downstream of the dispersing unit 1 can be recorded via a measuring device 11 as parameters that are often very decisive.
  • the measured values are forwarded to the evaluation unit via the signal line 14d.
  • a measuring device 11 with an IR sensor or specifically a near-infrared sensor has proven to be the most suitable.
  • the urea and/or formaldehyde concentration as well as the solids content and the buffer capacity can be precisely recorded using automated FTIR spectrometers. This Values change with the speed of the dispersing unit 1 and influence the reactivity and viscosity of the glue.
  • the measuring device can also be used with multivariate evaluation or as a cyclically measuring and evaluating device.
