Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a crystallization treatment method for a polyester resin by which a crystallization treatment for preventing the pellets from being mutually fusion-bonded, is efficiently and continuously performed, when the polyester resin pellet is dried. SOLUTION: This crystallization treatment method for the polyester resin is characterized in that, when the continuous crystallization treatment of the polyester resin is performed while the resin is heated by supplying a hot blast into a device, the temperature of a resin crystallization region in the device is detected and thereby, the unloaded amount of the polyester resin pellet per unit time of the continuous crystallization process is changed based on a detected temperature. Consequently, the temperature of the resin crystallization region in the device is kept within the range of a resin crystallization temperature (Tc)±20 deg.C.

2. Description of the Related Art Polyester resins and the like are used by being processed into various containers, films, machine parts and the like by melt extrusion molding. The present invention, these thermoplastic polyester resins, in order to keep the quality of the molded article good,
It is necessary to remove the water contained in the polyester resin pellets before extrusion, and generally, the resin pellets are dried by heating under hot air or reduced pressure before use. However, since the uncrystallized resin pellets are dried in a short time, when they are dried at a high temperature, fusion of the pellets occurs, which makes it difficult to supply the pellets to the extruder.

As a method for solving these problems, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-271931 proposes a batch type crystallization apparatus. But in the case of batch type,
In order to prevent fusion of the pellets, the temperature at which the temperature starts to be raised when the pellets are put into the container must be lower than the glass transition temperature of the pellets, and the temperature is gradually raised to the crystallization temperature. Since it is necessary, it takes a long time to complete the crystallization, and there is a problem that the crystallization processing ability is poor.

At this time, the uncrystallized pellets generate heat of crystallization as crystallization progresses. Therefore, if the amount of heat generated by this crystallization is large, the temperature of the pellets in the crystallization apparatus rises. The hot air temperature becomes higher than the temperature at the time of supply, and fusion occurs between the pellets or the pellet stirring blades and the wall surface. When controlling the temperature in the tank and continuously and stably performing the crystallization process, the pellet temperature (T2) in the crystallization region in the tank is detected, and the crystallization is continuously performed based on the result of the detected temperature. By changing the processing amount per unit time, that is, the discharge amount of the crystallized pellets by the metering and discharging device 7, the calorific value per unit time due to crystallization in the crystallization device is increased or decreased to crystallize the pellet temperature in the device. Temperature (Tc) to Tc + 20 ° C, or (Tc) to Tc
The temperature is controlled within the range of -20 ° C. That is, when the pellet temperature in the device exceeds the crystallization temperature (Tc) + 20 ° C., the discharge amount of the crystallized pellets by the metering and discharging device 7 is increased, and when it is lower than (Tc) −20 ° C., the metering and discharging device 7 is used. The amount of crystallized pellets discharged is controlled to be small.

Further, it is preferable that the polyester resin before crystallization is supplied from the upper part of the apparatus, and the crystallized polyester resin is continuously discharged from the lower part of the apparatus. The amorphous polyester resin supplied from the upper part is gradually heated by the hot air supplied from the lower part and gradually descends to the lower part of the device while gradually increasing the crystallinity, and after reaching the target crystallinity, from the discharge port. Is discharged. At this time, if the discharge is discontinuous,
The flow of the polyester resin pellets in the crystallization device is disturbed, which causes variations in crystallization, which is not preferable.

Furthermore, in order to make the flow of the polyester resin pellets in the crystallizer uniform, the ratio of the grain surface height (L) in the vertical direction of the pellets in the crystallizer to the diameter (D) of the horizontal cross section. It is preferable that (L / D) is 3 or more and 6 or less. When L / D is less than 3, turbulence occurs in the flow of the polyester resin pellets in the crystallization device, which causes variations in crystallization. Further, even if L / D exceeds 6, the uniformity of crystallization cannot be obtained any more, and the apparatus is unnecessarily increased in size.

By controlling the amount of heat generated by crystallization in the apparatus by the method described above, a stable crystallization process becomes possible.
