Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for mixing reactive components for the production of polyurethane foams, a method for the production of polyurethane foams and the use of these polyurethane foams.
  • Polyurethane foams are obtained by reacting an isocyanate-reactive component with an isocyanate.
  • the isocyanate-reactive component and the isocyanate are fed separately into a mixing chamber.
  • the two components are mixed, for example, by countercurrent injection or by a mixing element, such as. B. a spiked stirrer.
  • a mixing element such as. B. a spiked stirrer.
  • the two components already react with one another and deposits form in the area of dead zones and walls. These deposits grow over time and it is necessary to remove them to prevent the mixing chamber from becoming blocked.
  • cleaning plungers are used in countercurrent injection mixheads, for example, which limits the method with regard to the filler content of solid additives in the reaction mixture (EP2886280).
  • DE 41 11 458 CI discloses a mixing chamber with a mixing screw as the mixing element, the mixing chamber and mixing screw being conical and the mixing screw rotating at a speed of 5000 to 10000 rpm.
  • the disadvantage of this design is the complex structure and a necessary additional step for cleaning the mixing screw at high speeds in the range from 15,000 to 20,000 rpm.
  • a device for mixing reactive components for the production of Polyurethane foams comprising a mixing chamber containing a mixing element, characterized in that two closely intermeshing screw shafts are used as the mixing element, which are suitable to rotate at a speed of more than 1200 rpm, the two rotating shafts intermeshing, rotating at the same speed and have the same dimensions with regard to their diameter of 10 mm to 80 mm in each case and with regard to their length from 3 to 20 times the respective diameter.
  • Another component of the invention is a process for the production of polyurethane foams by mixing Al) isocyanate-reactive components,
  • the process according to the invention is preferably a process which is carried out continuously.
  • the screw shafts used as the mixing element of the device according to the invention rotate at a speed of more than 1200 rpm, preferably more than 1200 rpm to 25000 rpm, particularly preferably from 2000 rpm to 20,000 rpm and particularly preferably from 2500 rpm to 15000 rpm. Even more preferably, the screw shafts used as the mixing element rotate at a speed of more than 4000 rpm or more than 4200 rpm, most preferably at a speed of more than 4000 rpm to 15000 rpm or more than 4200 rpm / min to 15000 rpm.
  • Two closely meshing screw shafts which are suitable for rotating at a speed of more than 4000 rpm or more than 4200 rpm are preferably used as the mixing element.
  • the diameter of the individual rotating screw shaft is 10 mm to 80 mm, preferably 20 mm to 60 mm, particularly preferably 30 mm to 60 mm and the length of the individual rotating screw shaft is 3 to 20 times, preferably 5 to 15 times , particularly preferably 8 to 12 times the diameter.

  • the determination of the mean residence time is familiar to the person skilled in the art and can be measured, for example, by adding a tracer.
  • the reactive components can be fed into the mixing chamber in different ways.
  • the material to be mixed is introduced into the mixing chamber from the outside via suitable openings. These can be nozzles, injection lances or just openings. All reactive components can be brought together before the mixing chamber and fed into the mixing chamber as a stream. This is then mixed in the mixing chamber.
  • all reactive components can also be fed individually to the mixing chamber.
  • the number of reactive components is not limited to two; it can also be three or more. Individual constituents of a usually premixed component can also be metered in individually; the mixing element then also takes over the mixing.
  • the components to be mixed can be fed in at the same position of the mixing element viewed in the longitudinal direction (shaft direction or conveying direction). Then, of course, different positions in the circumferential direction must be selected, unless all components are fed together at one point.
  • the components can, however, also be fed in at different positions in the longitudinal direction and, if desired, also in the circumferential direction. It is important that the desired mixing is achieved.
  • the feed position can be selected, for example in the longitudinal direction, so that components that are difficult to mix are fed to the beginning of the mixing chamber and components that are easy to mix are fed to the end of the mixing chamber. For example, components that cannot tolerate too intensive mixing can also be fed to the end of the mixing chamber earlier.
  • the mixed reaction mixture is then ready for further use or processing.
