Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plant for obtaining fibers from lignocellulose-containing feed material, in particular from straw, according to the preamble of claim 1, and a corresponding method according to the preamble of claim 12.
  • Fibers are usually obtained from lignocellulosic material by mechanical and/or chemical pulping, whereby as many fibers as possible are separated from the coherent pile structure of the feed material.
  • feed material containing lignocellulose includes substances such as, in particular, fluff chips, annual plants, straw, bagasse and the like. Fibers obtained from this are used in subsequent processes, among other things, as a starting material for the production of wood-based materials and there to a considerable extent for the production of fiberboards such as MDF boards and HDF boards. However, such fibers can also be used for the production of paper, cardboard, etc.
  • EP 3 059 056 A1 describes a process for producing wood fiber boards, in which wood is first comminuted into wood chips and then pretreated using steam in a pre-steaming tank at a temperature of 100° C. to 180° C. and a pressure of 1 bar to 10 bar becomes.
  • the wood chips pretreated in this way are then processed in a refiner in the presence of steam defibrated into fine wood particles at a temperature of 150° C to 200° C and a pressure of 4.5 bar to 16 bar.
  • the resulting wood particles are finally glued and dried and then pressed at a temperature of 170°C to 240°C to form wood fiber boards.
  • the process is essentially continuous, which means that in a preceding process stage, feed material must be made available in the optimum quantity for the subsequent process stage.
  • a uniform and trouble-free flow of the feed material through the refiner is of decisive importance for the economic efficiency of the process and the quality of the manufactured products.
  • the object of the invention is to further develop known systems and methods for obtaining fibers from lignocellulosic material with regard to a flow that is as uniform as possible, in particular through the refiner.
  • the invention is based on the idea of feeding the refiner with feed material continuously and uniformly over the circumference of the refiner tools, not only inside the refiner, but rather already preparing it in the screw conveyor upstream of the refiner.
  • a screw conveyor according to the invention is designed to be operated at a speed of at least 400 rpm. This measure has the effect that material particles loosening from the inner circumference of the screw trough immediately after loosening and thus to a be caught by the rapidly rotating worm gears at a very early stage and subjected to a circular or helical motion.
  • the activated centrifugal forces ensure that the material particles are carried back to the inner circumference of the screw trough so that the layer of feed material there remains intact. In this way it is possible to bring the feed material in a constant flow of material already in the screw conveyor, which can be fed axially to the refiner in the form of a material layer extending evenly over the entire inner circumference of the screw trough.
  • the bulk density of such materials can be, for example, less than 90 kg/m 3 , in special cases less than 70 kg/m 3 or even less than 50 kg/m 3 .
  • a system according to the invention is therefore distinguished from the prior art by an extended field of application.
  • the effect that can be achieved with the invention is essentially dependent on the speed of rotation of the screw flights, the diameter of the screw conveyor and the bulk density of the feed material, which must be matched to one another. Increasing the speed reduces the proportion of good particles that are separated from the flow of material solve. In addition, an increase in the number of revolutions sometimes makes it possible for feed material with a low bulk density to be fed to a refiner in the required manner by means of a screw conveyor. In this sense, preferred embodiments of the invention are designed for increased speeds of the screw conveyor of at least 500 rpm, preferably at least 600 rpm, most preferably at least 700 rpm.
  • the acceleration in the direction of rotation exerted by the rotating augers on the material particles is also dependent on the diameter of the conveyor auger, as this also determines the peripheral speed of the augers. At the same speed, large diameters lead to comparatively higher peripheral speeds than small diameters. Irrespective of the size of the diameter of the conveyor screw, the invention prefers peripheral speeds of the radially outer helical circumference of at least 25 m/s, preferably at least 30 m/s and most preferably at least 40 m/s, which results in the advantages mentioned above.
  • the conveyor screw is held in a pivot bearing at its discharge end.
  • This danger increases in particular with an increase in the speed and/or length of the screw conveyors.
  • the arrangement according to the invention of a pivot bearing at the discharge end of the screw conveyor enables a system according to the invention to be operated without danger for personnel and machines, even at high speeds and/or when long screw conveyors are used. For example, screw conveyors with a length of 5 m or 6 m or longer can be operated without any problems with such a rotary bearing.
  • the rotary bearing is preferably arranged inside the screw trough or in the feed opening of the refiner, ie in the area before entry into the refiner. It is thus accepted that the feed material flows axially through the rotary bearing, which in this embodiment forms a flow obstacle for the material flow.
  • the advantage lies in a comparatively lower constructive effort with regard to the storage of the discharge end of the screw conveyor.
  • the rotary bearing can advantageously have one or more struts which, starting from the bearing area close to the axis, extend to the inner circumference of the screw trough or the entry opening, where they are fastened.
  • the course of the struts can deviate from a radial direction with respect to the axis of rotation, in that the radially inner end is offset relative to the radially outer end in the circumferential direction or in the plane of the pivot bearing, resulting in a slight inclination of the struts or at least the first side of the strut against which the feed material flows in the plane of the pivot bearing.
  • Another preferred measure for minimizing the load on the struts consists in designing the geometry of the strut cross section as a function of the existing crop flow.
  • the second strut side pointing in the opposite direction to the conveying direction of the screw conveyor can be offset in the direction of rotation of the screw helices relative to the third strut side pointing in the conveying direction. In this way, the resulting surfaces connecting the second and third side of the strut are aligned parallel to the crop flow, which minimizes the flow resistance emanating from the rotary bearing.
  • a device for flushing the bearing area of the rotary bearing is optionally provided.
  • a flushing fluid under pressure is driven axially through the sliding joint between the rotating worm shaft and the stationary pivot bearing, which runs concentrically around the axis of rotation, which efficiently prevents foreign particles from penetrating the sliding joint and then into the bearing area.
  • Fig. 2 shows a florizontal section through the plant shown in Fig. 1 along the line II - II there,
  • FIG. 3 shows a vertical section through the system shown in FIG. 2 along line III-III there,
  • FIG. 5 shows an oblique view of an advantageous further development of the rotary bearing with screw conveyor shown in FIG. 4,
  • Figure 6 is a larger-scale axial view of the pivot shown in Figure 5
  • FIG. 7 shows a larger-scale section through the pivot bearing shown in FIG. 6 along the line VII-VII there.
  • the reference number 2 designates a bunker in which the feed material 20, in this case straw, stored and thereby pre-steamed and pre-heated.
  • the feed material 20 passes via the funnel-shaped bunker discharge 3 into a stuffing screw 4 which conveys it to a digester 5 .
  • the feed material 20 is compacted and dewatered in the discharge area of the stuffing screw 4.
  • the digester 5 is designed essentially like a tower and the feed material 20 flows through it from top to bottom.
  • the feedstock 20 is pretreated under the action of pressure and heat, with the aim of softening lignin-containing components in the feedstock 20 and thus preparing the feedstock 20 for fiber digestion.
  • An agitator 47 at the bottom of the digester 5 ensures that the feed material 20 is sufficiently mixed.
  • a conveying device 6 connects to the lower part of the cooker 5, which conveys the feed material 20 to a refiner 7, where the fibers are broken down by applying shearing forces under pressure and steam.
  • the refiner 7 has for this purpose a refining device with first refining tools 9 which are arranged in a ring shape around an axis 8 and are stationary and second refining tools 10 which rotate around the axis 8 and which are axially opposite the first refining tools 9 to form a refining gap 11.
  • the drive unit for the refiner 7 bears the reference number 12 in FIG.
  • the fibers 40 obtained as they pass through the refining gap 11 by means of the refiner tools 9, 10 are guided via a blow line 15 to a dryer (not shown in more detail).
  • the fibers 40 are glued in the blow line 15 and, after drying, are scattered into a mold and pressed into felt fiber boards. The overall process described runs continuously.
  • the conveying device 6 comprises a discharge screw 13 associated with the boiler 5, which is integrated into the lower part of the boiler 5 and opens transversely to its conveying direction into a screw conveyor 14 associated with the refiner 7.
  • the discharge screw 13 essentially comprises a screw trough 16 in which a screw shaft 17 with helix 18 is rotatably mounted in a shaft bearing 19 and is driven by a drive unit 22 via a gear 21 .
  • the screw trough 16 tapers slightly at the discharge end to form a compact, sealing transition to the screw conveyor 14 to train good plugs. Due to the arrangement of the discharge screw 13 directly below the discharge opening 34 of the digester 5, the discharge screw 13 is charged with the pretreated feed material 20.
  • the throughput of the system 1 and in particular of the refiner 7 is set by controlling the speed of the discharge screw 13 .
  • the screw conveyor 14 used to feed the refiner 7 with feed material 20 has a screw trough 23 with a flanged shaft bearing 24 for receiving a conveyor screw 48 coaxial with the axis 8 with a screw shaft 25 and two spirals 29.
