By the above-described steps, the open cell grid 71 composed of a plurality of ribs shown in FIG.
A fiber panel 70 having a structure in which a continuous flat plate 72 covering one opening and a flange 73 covering a part of the other opening is integrally formed of dense compressed fibers can be manufactured.

Here, during the manufacturing process of the fiber panel 70 having the open cell grid, the amount of electric power required for the heating and compression molding process of the dewatered cake K by the hot press 60 is approximately 10 kWh per 1 kg of the molded product. Nearly 80% of the electric power consumption is occupied in this process, and the manufacturing cost is soaring.

[0008] This is apparently due to the fact that the water concentration of the dewatered cake K at the time of shifting to the heat compression molding step is as high as about 50%. The mechanical dewatering alone has its own dewatering effect. In particular, in the production of the fiber panel 70 having the open cell grid, which is the object of the present invention, the dewatering of the thin rib portions constituting the open cell grid is performed. However, it is difficult to reduce the water concentration of the dewatered cake K to less than 50% before the final compression molding step.

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of repeated studies to achieve the above object, the present inventors have focused on electroosmotic dehydration, which has been widely known as a sludge dewatering technology.
By using the electroosmotic dehydration and the mechanical dehydration called compression / suction conventionally performed together with the dehydration of the fiber-containing slurry cast on the mold, the dewatered cake is heated before the heat compression molding step. It is possible to bring the water concentration to a predetermined level of less than 50%, and the amount of electric power required for heat compression molding of a dewatered cake having a reduced water content to this level can be significantly reduced compared to the conventional method, The present inventors have found that the total power consumption can be suppressed even when considering the increase in power consumption due to the combined use of dehydration in the previous step, and completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention uses a mold comprising a porous carrier and a plurality of elastomer pads geometrically arranged and fixed on the plate surface of the porous carrier, and comprises a plurality of ribs. Manufacturing a fiber panel having a structure in which an open cell grid to be formed, a continuous flat plate covering one opening of the grid, and a flange covering a part of the other opening are integrally formed by dense compressed fibers. In the method, the step of casting the fiber-containing slurry on the mold, and the step of casting the fiber-containing slurry cast on the mold, press the flat form from above and below the form and press the form.

[0013] The fiber-containing slurry cast on the mold is dewatered by using both electroosmotic dehydration and mechanical dehydration such as squeezing and suction, so that a water concentration of 35% can be obtained before the heat compression molding step. It is important to bring up to ~ 45% dehydrated cake. This is because a considerable amount of power is required for heat compression molding of a dewatered cake exceeding 45%, and considering the increase in power consumption due to the combined use of electroosmotic dehydration in the previous process, the total power consumption is considered. It is difficult to bring a dewatered cake of less than 35% in a short time even if both electroosmotic dewatering and mechanical dewatering are used. This is not preferable because the power consumption in the process increases rapidly.

Further, in the present invention, the step of casting the fiber-containing slurry on the mold is, like the conventional one, casting the fiber-containing slurry on the mold only by the action of gravity. However, it is preferable that the fiber-containing slurry having a water concentration of 65 to 80% be poured while being sucked from the lower surface of the mold. This is preferable in consideration of the reduction in the total power consumption of the production, because the lower the water concentration of the fiber-containing slurry as the raw material is, the smaller the amount of power required for the subsequent dehydration and the like is. However, since the mold used in the present invention has a plurality of elastomer pads geometrically arranged and fixed on the plate surface of the porous carrier as described above, the moisture concentration is low, and the mold does not have fluidity. In the case of a raw material, the filling of the raw material between the elastomer pads is insufficient, and it is preferable that the raw material is poured while being sucked in order to reduce the product strength,
At this time, with a fiber-containing slurry having a water concentration of less than 65%, the filling becomes insufficient even when sucked, and conversely, a water concentration of 80% is obtained.
% Is not preferable because the effect of reducing the total power consumption is small.

Further, in the present invention, the step of heating and compressing the dewatered cake on the mold is performed by using a hot press heated by a heater or a heating fluid as in the conventional case. However, it is preferable to apply a high-frequency voltage between the pressing flat plates to perform high-frequency dielectric heating of the dehydrated cake under a flat plate pressing from above and below the mold. This is because, as described in the upper part, the mold used in the present invention has an elastomer pad made of an elastic material such as silicon rubber having a low thermal conductivity as a constituent member thereof. By applying a high-frequency voltage,
It is preferable to cause dielectric heating on the dewatered cake itself because efficient heating is possible.

[0017] As the mold used in the present invention, the same one as the conventional one can be used. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, a mold 50 composed of a porous carrier 51 and a plurality of elastomer pads 52 geometrically arranged and fixed on the plate surface thereof.
It is. As shown in FIG. 5, each of the elastomer pads 52 of the formwork 50 expands parallel to the carrier from the center to the outside when the pad is compressed, and is filled between the pads. The fibers have a predetermined size and shape so that the fibers located above the pad and below the enlarged pad can be compressed at the same time as the compressed fibers are compressed.

The porous carrier 51 has a structure in which a plurality of through-holes are formed in a generally rectangular metal plate, and its peripheral plate surface has a belt-like shape for reinforcement as shown in FIG. A press stopper 53 is additionally provided. In addition, the porous carrier 51 may be configured by a single plate, or may be configured by stacking a plurality of plates. Further, the elastomer pad 52 is formed of a material having sufficient elasticity, and can be formed using various synthetic rubbers including, for example, silicon rubber and chloroprene rubber. It is particularly excellent when considering elasticity. Then, by forming the elastomer pad 52 into a trapezoid having a hexagonal cross section as shown in an enlarged manner in FIG. 4, the cell grid 71 of the fiber panel 70 to be manufactured is changed to the shape shown in FIG.
It is possible to form a hexagon as shown in FIG.

In the manufacturing method according to the present invention, first, the fiber-containing slurry S is cast on the mold 50. In the casting step of the fiber-containing slurry S, the raw material A such as wood fiber or recycled paper is pulped by a strong stirring force to adjust the fiber-containing slurry S into a fiber-containing slurry S having a water concentration of about 99%. The fiber-containing slurry S may be cast on the mold 50 only by the action of gravity,
As shown in FIG. 1, it is preferable to adopt a method in which a fiber-containing slurry S adjusted to a water concentration of 65 to 80% is poured onto the mold 50 while sucking from the lower surface of the mold 50. This is preferable because the fiber-containing slurry S can be sufficiently filled in the space between the elastomer pads 52 serving as a mold, the water concentration thereof can be reduced, and the power required for subsequent dehydration can be reduced.

Here, according to the test conducted by the present inventors, the suction pressure in this casting step also depends on the water concentration of the slurry S. However, if the suction is performed at about -650 mmHg, the object can be achieved. If the water concentration of the slurry S at that time is less than 65%, the filling of the raw material on the mold is not preferable even if the suction pressure is increased, and if it exceeds 80%. Is not preferable because the effect of reducing the total power consumption is small.

Subsequently, the fiber-containing slurry S cast on the mold 50 is dewatered to a dewatering cake K having a water concentration of 35 to 45%. In the dehydration step of the fiber-containing slurry S, electroosmosis dehydration and mechanical dehydration called compression / suction are performed in combination. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, a press using a flat plate from above and below the
When the fiber-containing slurry S is squeezed and suction-dehydrated by suction from the lower surface of the pressurized sheet 0, and a DC voltage is applied between the press flat plates, a current flows through the fiber-containing slurry S sandwiched between the flat plates. Here, the fibrous material dispersed in the slurry S is usually in a negatively charged state, and the surrounding liquid in contact with the fibrous material is charged to a positive polarity opposite to the surface charge of the fibrous material. are doing. Therefore, when a voltage is applied from a DC power supply with the upper pressing flat plate as a positive electrode and the lower pressing flat plate as a negative electrode, the liquid contained in the slurry S by the action of the electroosmosis phenomenon is interposed between the fibrous materials. Is moved to the lower side of the press flat plate as a capillary, and is drained to the outside by suction from the lower surface of the mold 50. Thus, the fiber-containing slurry S can be dewatered to a dewatered cake K having a water concentration of 35 to 45%, which cannot be achieved only by mechanical dehydration called compression and suction.
