Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for producing filaments, in particular filaments made of thermoplastic material, wherein the device has at least one spinneret plate and wherein the filaments emerge in at least one filament row from spinneret openings of this spinneret plate.
- the invention relates to a device for producing spunbonded nonwovens or nonwoven webs from filaments made of thermoplastic material.
- the filaments are preferably continuous filaments. Continuous filaments differ from short fibers due to their quasi-continuous length, which have significantly shorter lengths of, for example, 1 mm to 60 mm. It is within the scope of the invention that the filaments are deposited on a conveyor device, preferably on a depositing sieve belt. The width of a product deposited on such a conveyor device depends in particular on the spinning width. Spinning width means in particular the width of a filament row emerging from spinneret openings of the spinneret plate.
- Devices of the type mentioned above are basically known from practice in different embodiments. It is often desirable to variably adjust the fleece web width and thus the spinning width of the devices. This is possible, for example, with segmented devices in which there are a number of distribution devices lined up across the spinning width, which are switched on or off as required. However, this design has the disadvantage that plastic residues remain in the switched off device segments, which can lead to contamination of the device and ultimately to malfunctions in the device operation.
- EP 1 486 591 A1 a device in which at least one distribution device for Distribution of a supplied plastic melt over a preliminary spinning width is provided, wherein the distribution device is followed by a distribution plate package made up of distribution plates, wherein the individual distribution plates each have a plurality of distribution openings distributed over a distribution width and wherein the distribution plate package is followed by a spinneret plate which has spinneret channels with the associated spinneret openings distributed over a final spinning width.
- the distribution plate package By means of the distribution plate package, a reduction or expansion of the preliminary spinning width to a final spinning width can be achieved.
- the interchangeability of the distribution plates and the spinneret plate enables a variable setting of the final spinning width.
- the plastic melt flows from the distribution device through the distribution openings of the distribution plates to the spinneret plate.
- the different thermal expansions of the distributor plates can lead to the fact that the distributor openings of adjacent distributor plates arranged one above the other are no longer arranged or oriented in the intended manner and, for example, are no longer aligned with one another. This can lead to an uneven distribution of the plastic melt and ultimately to spinning defects such as drop formation and the like.
- the distributor plate package is usually screwed all the way around the edge, the different thermal expansions of the distributor plates can nevertheless be observed to a considerable extent in the known devices and often have a detrimental effect on the spinning process.
- the described different thermal expansions of the distributor plates can also occur as a result of thermal cleaning processes of the device. Further relevant information can be found in the documents DE 44 19 555 and US 3 460 199 . - This is where the invention comes in.

- a diameter gradient of the distributor openings results starting from at least one edge-side outer region, in particular from at least one, preferably from the two CD outer regions, of the respective distributor plate towards the center of this distributor plate.
- the diameter d 1 of the distributor openings in at least one, preferably in the two, MD outer regions of at least one distributor plate differs from the diameter d 2 in the middle of this distributor plate.
- d 1 > d 2 then applies.
- the invention thus also includes an embodiment in which the diameter d 1 of the distributor openings of at least one distributor plate differs all around the edge from the diameter d 2 of the distributor openings in the middle of this distributor plate, preferably d 1 > d 2 applies.
- the at least one distribution device is designed on the basis of at least one material with a thermal conductivity at 20 °C of 30 to 42 W/(mK), preferably 33 to 39 W/(mK), preferably 34 to 38 W/(mK).
- the thermal expansion coefficients of the distributor plates are preferably matched to the thermal expansion coefficients of the distribution device and/or the filter plate and/or the spinneret plate. The larger the final spinning width or the extension of the spinneret plate in the CD direction, the smaller the differences in the thermal expansion coefficients of the distributor plates on the one hand and the distribution device and/or the filter plate and/or the spinneret plate on the other hand are.
- the at least one distribution device is expediently designed on the basis of at least one hot-work steel and is preferably designed on the basis of 55 NiCrMoV7 steel.
- the filter plate and/or the spinneret plate is formed on the basis of at least one material with a thermal conductivity at 20 °C of 15 to 35 W/(mK), preferably 18 to 32 W/(mK), preferably 20 to 30 W/(mK), particularly preferably 22 to 28 W/(mK).
- the filter plate and/or the spinneret plate is further preferably formed on the basis of at least one martensitic steel, preferably based on X17CrNi16-2 steel.
- the above-described choice of material for the at least one distribution device and/or the filter plate and/or the spinneret plate is based on the knowledge that, with such a design of these device components, the device can withstand a cleaning process, in particular a thermal cleaning process, which is necessary after a certain operating time, without significant impairment. This is particularly important in view of the special coordination of the individual device components with regard to the flow path of the plastic melt or melts.
- the preferred choice of material for the device components described means that functional reliability can continue to be ensured even after the cleaning process, in particular with regard to the orientation of the openings and channels provided for guiding the plastic melt relative to one another. This is particularly relevant in view of the curved or spherical design of the filter plate and/or the spinneret plate according to the invention.
- the invention is based on the finding that, in the device according to the invention, disadvantageous influences on the spinning process due to the different thermal expansion of the distributor plates can be effectively and reliably counteracted by the curved or spherical design of the outlet surface of the filter plate and/or the inlet surface of the spinneret plate.
- the inventive design of the filter plate and/or the spinneret plate and in particular of the aggregate consisting of the filter plate, the distributor plate package or the distributor plates and the spinneret plate means that additional tensioning of the distributor plates is avoided. achieved so that disadvantageous effects of the different thermal expansion of the individual distributor plates are reduced or avoided, in particular due to frictional locking.
- the additional bracing In particular, an adverse influence on the orientation of distributor openings and/or distributor channels of the distributor plates relative to one another is prevented by the additional bracing. If, according to the preferred embodiment, additional form-locking elements or dowel pins are used for the distributor plate package, a particularly advantageous combination of frictional locking and form-locking results. Nevertheless, the device according to the invention can be used to achieve very simple and functionally reliable adjustment of various final spinning widths. The device according to the invention thus ensures the flexible use of the device and, nevertheless, also the spinning stability and thus the product quality of the manufactured product or the manufactured nonwoven web. It must also be emphasized that the advantages described above are achieved with little effort and that the device is also characterized by very advantageous economic efficiency.
- the figures show a device 1 for producing filaments (not shown in detail) from thermoplastic material.
- the filaments are in particular continuous filaments.
- the filaments emerge from the spinneret openings 3 of a spinneret plate 2 in several rows of filaments extending over a final spinning width B e .
- the plastic melt for the filaments to be spun is first fed from an extruder (not shown in detail) via a spinning pump (also not shown in detail) to a feed channel 14.
- This feed channel 14 opens into a distribution device 4, which in the embodiment according to the Figures 1 and 2 is designed as a coat hanger distributor.
- the supplied plastic melt is distributed over a preliminary spinning width B v .
- the distribution device 4 is according to the invention and in the embodiment according to the Figures 1 and 2 a filter plate 5 is connected downstream, which preferably has perforated channels 13 for the plastic melt, distributed over the preliminary spinning width B v in the exemplary embodiment.
- the filter plate 5 is recommended and used in the exemplary embodiment to support a filter 15. This is particularly important in the Figure 1
- the filter 15 is expediently and in the embodiment downstream of the distribution device 4 in the flow direction of the plastic melt.
- the filter plate 5 is again followed by a distributor plate package 6 made up of distributor plates 7.
- the distributor plate package 6 preferably has, and in the exemplary embodiment, a plurality of distributor plates 7.
- the distributor plates 7 each have a plurality of distributor openings 8 distributed over a distribution width B i , wherein the distributor openings 8 are provided for receiving the plastic melt emerging from the filter plate 5.
- B i distribution width
- the distributor openings 8 are provided for receiving the plastic melt emerging from the filter plate 5.
- a row of distributor openings 8 can be seen for each distributor plate 7, a row of distributor openings 8 can be seen.
- each distribution plate 7 of the distribution plate package 6 has several rows of distribution openings 8 arranged next to one another in the direction transverse to the distribution width B i . This is the case, for example, in the Figures 3a and 3b to recognize.
- the distributor openings 8 are rectangular in cross-section according to a preferred embodiment.
- the distributor openings 8 have a round, in particular a circular, cross-section.
- the distributor openings 8 of distributor plates 7, which are arranged in the lower part of the distributor plate package 6 associated with the spinneret plate 2 have a round or circular cross-section according to the preferred embodiment.
- the distributor openings 8 of a distributor plate 7 each have the same diameter or substantially the same diameter.
- the diameter of a portion of the distributor openings 8 of at least one distributor plate 7 of the distributor plate package 6 differs from the diameter of the remaining distributor openings 8 of this distributor plate 7.
- this can be the last distributor plate 7 of the distributor plate package 6 arranged directly above the spinneret plate 2.
- the distributor openings 8 are then round, in particular circular, and the diameter of the distributor openings then means in particular the diameter of the circular distributor openings.
- CD outer region 16 of the distributor plate 7 means in particular an outer region of the distributor plate 7 extending parallel to the CD direction, i.e. along the distribution width or spinning width.
- the distributor openings 8 of the superimposed rows of adjacent superimposed distributor plates 7 are offset from one another with respect to the distribution width B i .
- the distributor plates 7 of the distributor plate package 6 preferably have distributor channels 12 extending over the spinning width B i , each distributor channel 12 connecting the distributor openings 8 of a row to one another.
- a distributor channel 12 At least in the majority of the distributor plates 7, a distributor channel 12 directly adjoins an adjacent distributor plate 7. In other words, this adjacent distributor plate 7 forms a wall of the adjacent distributor channel 12.
- This distributor channel 12 expediently connects distributor openings 8 of the adjacent distributor plate 7, which are arranged in a row in the exemplary embodiment.
- the distributor plate package 6 or the distributor plates 7 is followed by an exchangeable spinneret plate 2, which has spinneret channels 9 with the associated spinneret openings 3 distributed over the final spinning width B e .
- the Figure 4 shows a spinneret plate 2 with spinneret channels 9 or spinneret openings 3.
- a plurality of rows of spinneret channels 9 or spinneret openings 3 are arranged next to one another transversely to the final spinning width B e , in particular in the machine direction (MD).
- the distributor openings 8 together with the distributor channels 12 preferably form flow paths for the plastic melt through the distributor plate package 6.
- a flow path consisting of distributor openings 8 and distributor channels 12 is expediently assigned to each spinneret channel 9 or each spinneret opening 3 of the spinneret plate 2 and thus in particular also to each filament produced.
- an outlet surface 10 of the filter plate 5 assigned to the distributor plate package 6 and an inlet surface 11 of the spinneret plate 2 assigned to the distributor plate package 6 are curved or spherical over their entire or essentially entire extension in the machine direction (MD).
- MD machine direction
- the exit surface 10 of the filter plate 5 and the entry surface 11 of the spinneret plate 2 are curved or ground to a crown.
- machine direction also means in particular the conveying direction of a conveying device for the filaments or the nonwoven web produced therefrom and thus the direction transverse to the spinning width or distribution width.
- the curvature or crowning of the filter plate 5 or the spinneret plate 2 is thus realized over the entire extent of the outlet surface 10 of the filter plate and the inlet surface 11 of the filter plate in the machine direction (MD).
- the radius of curvature R of the curved or crowned outlet surface 10 of the filter plate 5 and the inlet surface 11 of the spinneret plate 2 is constant or essentially constant over the entire extent in the machine direction (MD).

- the distribution widths B i formed by the distributor openings 8 of the individual distributor plates 7 expediently and in the embodiment according to the Figure 1 from the filter plate 5 to the spinneret plate 2.
- the preliminary spinning width B v is thus expanded or increased to the final spinning width B e .
- the distribution width B i therefore increases from distributor plate 7 to distributor plate 7 to the spinneret plate 2.
- a distributor plate package 6 consisting of a plurality of exchangeable distributor plates 7 is also connected downstream of the distributor device 4 or the filter plate 5.
- the distribution widths B i formed by the distribution openings 8 of the individual distribution plates 7 decrease from the filter plate 5 to the spinneret plate 2.
- the preliminary spinning width B v is reduced in this way to the final spinning width B e .
- the distribution width B i therefore decreases here from distributor plate 7 to distributor plate 7 to the spinneret plate 2.
- not all distributor plates 7 of the distributor plate package 6 have distribution channels 12. According to an embodiment not shown in detail in the figures, it is possible that the lower distributor plates 7 of the distributor plate package 6, which are assigned to the spinneret plate 2, do not have distribution channels 12 and that the final distribution width B e is already reached above these distributor plates 7.
- the final spinning width B e is at least 1,600 mm, preferably at least 1,800 mm. In the embodiment according to the figures, the final spinning width may, for example, be at least 2,000 mm.

In the embodiment according to the Figure 1 , in which the preliminary spinning width B v is extended, the ratio B v :B e may be between 0.85 and 0.95. In the embodiment according to Figure 2 , in which the preliminary spinning width B v is reduced, the ratio B v :B e may be 1.05 to 1.15.
