Definitions
- the present invention is directed towards a fabric used in combination with a melt-bonding apparatus to form, transport and bond a web into a non-woven fabric.
- thermoplastic filaments are then typically, aerodynamically entrained by the process air for aerodynamic stretching of the themoplastic filaments which are then, after passing through a diffuser, deposited upon a continuously circulating sieve belt for collecting the interentangled filaments and forming a web thereon.
- the web, structure or article, so formed, is then subject to further processing.
- a high air flow volume is used to deposit the fibers on the forming fabric.
- This air volume is drawn through the forming fabric typically by vacuum boxes positioned thereunder. Oftentimes the area around the nip of the press rolls is rendered air tight to avoid any disturbance thereabout.
- four press rolls are involved which are a pair of top and bottom rolls through which the forming fabric with the web thereon passes. The air volume is provided between the successive nips.
- Air leakage can occur between the top press roll and the forming fabric surface or through the fabric itself. Air leakage can result in undesired disturbance to the formation of the web. Excessive air carried by the fabric during web transportation may result in causing the web to flutter. The cause of such air being carried is divided between the fabric's permeability and the fabric roughness and raw material. The proportions are on the order of 80% to 20% air respectively.
- EP 0 950 744 A1 proposes using press rolls having a dielectric surface which is charged with a polarity that will repel the fibers.
- the forming fabric is also made from a dielectric material and charged such that it is opposite to that of the fibers, thereby attracting the fibers thereto.
- a yet further object of the invention is to provide for a forming fabric for use in the production of non-woven webs, structures or articles which provides for the effect of static electricity during production.
- the invention is directed towards generally a forming fabric for use in the production of non-woven webs, structure or articles.
- the forming fabric comprises a woven structure having flat monofilament yarns in at least either the machine direction or cross machine direction.
- the use of the flat yarns in the forming fabric improve the fabric surface and decrease the empty volume in the fabric.
- the forming fabric may be single or multi-layered and is directed towards decreasing the disturbance caused by air whilst maintaining the desired permeability of the fabric.
- the flat monofilaments can be made of a conductive material which allows the dissipation of the static electricity on the web through the forming fabric to ground.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of an apparatus for making a non-woven web, structure or article such as that implementing a melt-bond process
- FIG. 2 is a side sectional schematic view of the nip of a press roll with a conventional forming fabric
- FIG. 3 is a side sectional schematic view of the nip of a press roll with a forming fabric incorporating the teachings of the present invention
- FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view of a conventional forming fabric taken along the machine direction of the fabric.
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged sectional view of the forming fabric of the present invention taken along the machine direction of the fabric.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically an apparatus 10 for forming a non-woven web, structure or article.
- the apparatus 10 is part of a melt-bond forming machine which forms a flat web or non-woven web, structure or article by a process other than weaving.
- Non-woven webs, structures or articles typically comprise fibers or filaments bonded together.
- spun-bonding involves molten polymer which is extruded from a spinning head or spinneret which produces a curtain of strands.
- Illustrative of such an apparatus is that set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 5,814,349.
- a high flow of air is used to aerodynamically stretch, elongate or attenuate the strands which, after passing through a diffuser, are deposited on a forming fabric 12 .
- Presses are used to compress the deposit of filaments. As shown, by way of example, there are two presses, a downstream press 14 and an upstream press 16 each of which has a respective top press roll 18 and 20 and bottom press roll 22 and 24 .
- the machine direction (MD) of the fabric 12 is indicated by arrow 26 . Press 16 presses against the fabric 12 only while press 14 presses against the fabric 12 and the melt-bond web 28 formed thereon.
- a melt-bonding apparatus 30 which typically includes a spinneret, blower, attenuator and diffuser which produces and deposits the filaments onto forming fabric 12 .
- Air flow is indicated by arrow 32 .
- Beneath apparatus 30 is a vacuum or suction box 34 which applies suction to the underside of fabric 12 .
- the area between presses 14 and 16 may be sealed which may be in a manner as set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 5,814,349 so as to avoid any disturbance.
- Air leakage can result in a disturbance of the web. As shown in FIG. 1, high air flow can result in air leakage (arrows 36 ) between the top press roll 18 and the fabric 12 surface or through the fabric thickness. Such air leakage is due to the excessive air carried by the fabric, the fabric surface roughness and fabric thickness.
- FIG. 2 which is a sectional view in the machine direction of fabric 12 and web 28 between rollers 18 and 22 .
- Forming fabric 12 is a single layer woven fabric having round MD yarns 38 and round cross machine direction (CMD) yarns 40 . Note that the particular weave (not shown) may vary depending upon the requirements for the particular application (i.e. permeability, etc.).
- the present invention is directed towards providing in combination with a melt-bonding apparatus, a forming fabric which reduces the empty volume for carrying air and reduces the fabric roughness.
- FIG. 3 is a cross section of the fabric 12 ′ used in the present invention.
- the fabric 12 ′ shown is a single layer woven (weave not shown) using flat MD monofilament yarns 38 ′ and/or flat CMD yarns 40 ′ as a percentage of the weave. This can be all or part of the MD yarns, CMD yarns or both and may be included in a multi-layer fabric rather than the single layer shown.
- the flat yarns decrease the empty volume in the fabric 12 ′.
- FIG. 4 there is illustrated a portion of fabric 12 along the machine direction with round monofilaments illustrated for the CMD yarns 40 ′.
- the MD yarn 38 ′ is shown and the empty volume is illustrated by S 3 .
- the fabric 12 ′ is also illustrated along the machine direction with flat monfilaments illustrated for the CMD yarns 40 ′.
- the MD yarns 38 ′ may be flat monofilaments or a percentage of the machine direction yarns.
- the empty volume illustrated by S 4 compared to S 3 is considerably smaller.
- the fabric surface of fabric 12 ′ has a lesser degree of fabric roughness than that of fabric 12 .
- the cross section of the yarns may vary, for example, the ratio between the thickness and the width could be from 1/1 to 1/5. Also, while shown as rectangular in shape (i.e. having parallel sides), they can be barrel-shaped (i.e. parallel sides with slightly curved top and bottom) or ellipitcal shape.
- the material used for the flat yarns can be any material suitable for the purpose. Note, however, as aforenoted during the operation of the melt-bonding machines, a large amount of static electricity builds up. In order to dissipate it, some of the yarns used in the fabric can be conductive. Accordingly, it is desirable that a portion of the flat CMD yarns and/or MD yarns be made of a conductive material or coated with a conductive material in order to dissipate the static electricity from the web 28 to the ground, through the fabric 12 ′.
- the fabric 12 ′ of the present invention is a woven, single or multi-layer structure having flat CMD and/or MD with a portion of which are conductive.
- Such a fabric 12 reduces air disturbance during spun-bonding production whilst providing a desired permeability in the web production process.
