Abstract
Description
- This application is based on and claims priority under 35 USC 119 from Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-250804 filed on Dec. 24, 2015.
- The present invention relates to a waste paper recycling apparatus that is installed in an office and the like, where waste paper is generated, to recycle paper.
- Conventional waste paper recycling apparatuses are provided with, for example, a waste paper inlet, a pulper, a deinking unit, a papermaking unit, a drier, and a control unit to control operation. The waste paper inlet supplies waste paper as a recycle material to the pulper. The pulper disaggregates the waste paper to prepare a waste paper pulp slurry containing waste paper pulp. The deinking unit prepares deinked pulp by deinking the waste paper pulp slurry. The papermaking unit produces wet web from the deinked waste paper pulp slurry. The drier dries the dewatered the wet web.
- The pulper has a stirring chamber, a stirring blade disposed in the stirring chamber, and a driving unit to rotationally drive the stirring blade. The waste paper is stirred in disaggregating water in the stirring chamber by rotation of the stirring blade for defiberization and the waste paper pulp slurry thus prepared is transferred to the next step.
- As illustrated in
FIG. 5 , a predetermined amount of stirring water is poured into the pulper (S1) and then waste paper is put into the pulper (S2). Then, the stirring blade is rotated at 750 rpm for defiberization (S3). Subsequently, dilution water is supplied under stirring (S4), and at a pulp density of 4 weight % (S5), the defiberization is stopped (S6). - JP 2011-219893A describes as follows. For stirring by a stirring blade, the water level in the stirring chamber, that is, the level of a liquid containing the waste paper material and water from a water supply unit is set at a height capable of immersing the stirring blade. While the number of revolutions of the stirring blade is increased under stirring, water is supplied from the water supply unit to immerse the stirring blade in the liquid in the stirring chamber.
- In the pulper, the stirring blade in the stirring chamber is rotated at the number of revolutions for defiberization (750 rpm), and the waste paper is disaggregated in a predetermined amount of the disaggregating water to prepare a waste paper pulp slurry at a defiberization concentration (8 weight %). Then, during rotation at the number of revolutions for stirring (400 rpm), dilution water is added to dilute the waste paper pulp slurry at a predetermined concentration (4 weight %). The restriction on the number of revolutions prevents excessive stirring intensity and thus restricts waste of power cost and noise.
- Unfortunately, in the course of defiberization operation, indisaggregated pieces of paper are sometimes attached to the inner wall of the stirring chamber in the pulper. The attached indisaggregated pieces of paper may be mixed into the waste paper pulp slurry during the dilution operation. Papermaking from the waste paper pulp slurry together with such indisaggregated pieces of paper causes reduction in quality of resulting recycled paper. In another case, the mixed pieces of paper are attached to a liquid level sensor and cause improper liquid level detection in the stirring chamber.
- In addition, in conventional procedure, a waste paper pulp slurry at a predetermined concentration is delivered to the deinking unit in the next step and then inside the stirring chamber is washed to eliminate the attachment of pieces of paper causing the above defects before the next defiberization. In the washing, water is sprayed in the stirring chamber from showerheads facing the opening of the chamber to wash away the fiber of the waste paper pulp and the indisaggregated pieces of paper that are attached to the inner surface of the stirring chamber.
- The showerheads, however, cause increase in complexity and size of the apparatus configuration and thus cause increase in costs.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a waste paper recycling apparatus that solves the above problems. The apparatus makes recycled paper of quality not affected even by mixing a piece of paper attached to an inner wall of a stirring chamber into a waste paper pulp slurry in the course of dilution operation, and achieves downsizing of the apparatus by eliminating washing by spraying water from showerheads.

- As described above, according to the present invention, the transition operating mode is performed between the defiberization operating mode and the dilution operating mode, and in the transition operating mode, the dilution water is supplied to the waste paper pulp slurry while the stirring device is driven to rotate the stirring blade at the number of revolutions for defiberization. In the transition operating mode, pieces of the waste paper attached to the inner wall of the stirring chamber are incorporated into the waste paper pulp slurry with the rise in the liquid level in the chamber to be disaggregated by rotating the stirring blade at the number of revolutions for defiberization.
- This allows restriction on residual rough pieces of the waste paper in the waste paper pulp slurry in the dilution operating mode and prevention of reduction in quality caused by the pieces of paper in a later step of papermaking. In addition, a strong stirring action is exerted on the waste paper pulp slurry during the rise in the liquid level in the chamber and thus the inner chamber wall is effectively washed with the waste paper pulp slurry to wash out the pieces of paper. Accordingly, washing by spraying water from the showerheads is not required and thus downsizing of the apparatus is achieved.

FIG. 3 , thewaste paper inlet 1 is located above the stirringchamber 901 of the pulper 9 to charge the pulper 9 directly with waste paper as a recycle material remaining in the form of sheet paper. Thewaste paper inlet 1 has aposition maintaining unit 203 to maintain the sheet paper in a standing position. Theposition maintaining unit 203 is composed of a vertically open rectangular frame with an upper opening and a lower opening, and the lower opening serving as an inlet faces an upper opening of the stirringchamber 901. The lower opening of theposition maintaining unit 203 is covered with a slidingbottom plate 206 as a bottom portion of theposition maintaining unit 203. The slidingbottom plate 206 is movable in sliding directions to open and close the lower opening. - The
waste paper inlet 1 includes a weight sensor, not shown, to measure the weight of the waste paper loaded into theposition maintaining unit 203, in which the weight sensor is composed of a load cell and the like. - The
position maintaining unit 203 is provided with a position maintainingauxiliary plate 203 a. The position maintainingauxiliary plate 203 a divides a sheet paper loading space of theposition maintaining unit 203 into a plurality of compartments. - To secure the user safety, a
cover 301 is provided to cover the upper opening of theposition maintaining unit 203. Thecover 301 is provided with atransparent door 302. - The pulper 9 has, inside the stirring
chamber 901, astirring blade 902 and arotation shaft 903 to rotationally drive the stirringblade 902 as stirring devices. Therotation shaft 903 is rotatably supported by two upper andlower bearings chamber 901. Therotation shaft 903 has apulley 906 between the upper andlower bearings pulley 906 is driven by a stirringblade driving motor 922 via abelt 907 to rotate therotation shaft 903 and thestirring blade 902. The stirringblade driving motor 922 has atorque sensor 923. - The stirring
chamber 901 has anoutlet 908 at the bottom of the chamber, and theoutlet 908 is connected to atransfer unit 909. Thetransfer unit 909 makes a transfer path to transfer the waste paper pulp slurry disaggregated in the stirringchamber 901 to thedeinking unit 11 and has atube pump 910 as a transfer pump. - The stirring
chamber 901 has awater supply unit 911 provided facing its opening to supply dilution water to the stirringchamber 901. Thewater supply unit 911 is connected to the whitewater recirculation system 106 via aflow sensor 921 composed of a vortex type flowmeter or a vane type flowmeter. The whitewater recirculation system 105 is connected to thetransfer unit 909 downstream of thetube pump 910 as a second water supply unit. - The stirring
chamber 901 is provided in its inside with, as liquid level sensors to detect the liquid level of the waste paper pulp slurry, an upper limit liquidlevel detection sensor 912 corresponding to an upper limit liquid level allowed to be stored in the chamber, a lower limit liquidlevel detection sensor 913 corresponding to the position of thestirring blade 902 in the chamber, and a defined residue liquidlevel detection sensor 914 corresponding to a defined residue liquid level when a predetermined amount of the waste paper pulp slurry is stored. - The
control unit 700 has aconcentration detection unit 701. Theconcentration detection unit 701 calculates the concentration of the waste paper pulp slurry based on a weight measurement by the weight sensor and a flow measurement by theflow sensor 921. - Actions of the above configuration are described below. The
control unit 700 controls thewaste paper inlet 1, the pulper 9, thedeinking unit 11, thepapermaking unit 13, the finishingunit 15, thewhite water tank 100 and the waste deinkingliquid treatment apparatus 101, and thereby operates the waste paper recycling system in each processing unit. - The sliding
bottom plate 206 of thewaste paper inlet 1 is placed in a full closure position, and in this state, thedoor 302 of thecover 301 is opened to load a bunch of sheet paper into the frame of theposition maintaining unit 203. The slidingbottom plate 206 is moved in a slide-open direction to open the lower opening of theposition maintaining unit 203. With the opening of the slidingbottom plate 206, the sheet paper is dropped from the lower opening, remained in the standing position, into the stirringchamber 901 of the pulper 9 sequentially for each compartment divided by the position maintainingauxiliary plate 203 a. The stirringchamber 901 stores a predetermined amount of white water supplied from thewater supply unit 911 as disaggregating water. - In the present embodiment, the stirring
chamber 901 is charged with the waste paper a plurality of times by thewaste paper inlet 1, whereas it may be charged with the waste paper at one time. - The
control unit 700 operates thestirring blade 902 in a defiberization preparation operation mode during waste paper charging operation of thewaste paper inlet 1. - In the defiberization preparation operation mode, the
stirring blade 902 is rotated at 200 rpm as the number of revolutions for rough tearing and spreading, which is slower than 400 rpm as the number of revolutions for stirring, to roughly tear the charged waste paper. - In other words, as illustrated in
FIG. 1 , a predetermined amount of stirring water is poured into the pulper 9 (S11), and then waste paper is put into the pulper (S12), followed by rough tearing (S13), and again charging waste paper (S14), followed by rough tearing (S15). - This allows smooth defiberization even when the waste paper put into the stirring
chamber 901 earlier and the waste paper put into the stirringchamber 901 later are mixed in the stirringchamber 901. - In other words, aggregate of the waste paper charged earlier is loosened and roughly torn into pieces of paper. The waste paper charged earlier thus does not inhibit immersion of the waste paper charged later in the disaggregating water. As a result, regardless of the timing of waste paper charging, the waste paper is roughly torn prior to defiberization.
- The
control unit 700 then operates the stirring device of the pulper 9 sequentially in a defiberization operating mode, a transition operating mode, and a dilution operating mode. - In the defiberization operating mode (S16), the
stirring blade 902 is rotated at 750 rpm as the number of revolutions for defiberization to disaggregate the waste paper in a predetermined amount of the disaggregating water stored in the stirringchamber 901. The defiberization operating mode (S16) generates a waste paper pulp slurry with a defiberization termination concentration of 8 weight % at the termination of disaggregating operation. - The termination of disaggregating operation is sensed from a load measured by the
torque sensor 923. The torque decreases with the progress of defiberization, and the defiberization is defined to be completed when the measurement by thetorque sensor 923 reaches a predetermined value. The termination of disaggregating operation may also be sensed from a change in temperature of the waste paper pulp slurry. With the progress of defiberization, the temperature of the waste paper pulp slurry increases from 15° C. to 20° C. From the increase in temperature during defiberization, the termination of disaggregating operation is sensed. The termination of disaggregating operation may also be sensed by timer control. - In the transition operating mode (S17), dilution water is supplied from the
water supply unit 911 to the waste paper pulp slurry of the stirringchamber 901 while thestirring blade 902 is rotated at 750 rpm as the number of revolutions for defiberization to stir the waste paper pulp slurry. The waste paper pulp slurry at the defiberization termination concentration (8 weight %) is then diluted to the transition termination concentration (6 weight %) at the termination of transition operation. - At this point, the
control unit 700 calculates a deficiency of dilution water, i.e., an amount of dilution water required to make the waste paper pulp slurry at the transition termination concentration (6 weight %) based on the amount of charged waste paper, i.e., the amount of waste paper measured by the weight sensor. The calculated amount of dilution water is then supplied from thewater supply unit 911 to prepare the waste paper pulp slurry at the transition termination concentration (6 weight %). The termination of transition operation is sensed by timer control (S18). - The termination of transition operation may also be sensed from a change in concentration of the waste paper pulp slurry. In other words, the
concentration detection unit 701 of thecontrol unit 700 calculates the concentration of the waste paper pulp slurry from the weight measurement by the weight sensor and the flow measurement by theflow sensor 921. When the water supply from thewater supply unit 911 is finished, thecontrol unit 700 recognizes that the waste paper pulp slurry reaches the transition termination concentration (6 weight %) to switch the transition operating mode to the dilution operating mode at this transition termination concentration of the waste paper pulp slurry. Alternatively, the termination of transition operation may also be sensed from a measurement by thetorque sensor 923. - The transition operating mode is thus performed between the defiberization operating mode and the dilution operating mode, and in the transition operating mode, the dilution water is supplied to the waste paper pulp slurry while the
stirring blade 902 is rotated at the number of revolutions for defiberization (750 rpm) to promote defiberization. In other words, pieces of the waste paper attached to the inner wall of the stirringchamber 901 in the defiberization operating mode are incorporated into the waste paper pulp slurry with the rise in the liquid level in the chamber. As a result, the incorporated pieces of the waste paper are disaggregated by thestirring blade 902 rotated at the number of revolutions for defiberization (750 rpm) to be disaggregated into small size capable of being supplied at least to thedeinking unit 11. - This allows restriction on the residual rough pieces of the waste paper in the waste paper pulp slurry in the dilution operating mode and prevention of reduction in quality caused by the pieces of paper during papermaking of the
papermaking unit 13 in a later step. - In addition, during the rise in the liquid level in the chamber, the
stirring blade 902 is rotated at the number of revolutions for defiberization (750 rpm) and a strong stirring action is exerted on the waste paper pulp slurry to effectively wash away the pieces of paper attached to the inner chamber wall with the waste paper pulp slurry and thus the inner chamber wall is washed. Accordingly, conventional washing by spraying water from the showerheads is not required and thus downsizing of the apparatus is achieved. - In the dilution operating mode (S19), the dilution water is supplied from the
water supply unit 911 to the waste paper pulp slurry in the stirringchamber 901 while thestirring blade 902 is rotated at 400 rpm as the number of revolutions for stirring, which is slower than 750 rpm as the number of revolutions for defiberization, to stir the waste paper pulp slurry. The waste paper pulp slurry at the transition termination concentration (6 weight %) is then diluted to the dilution termination concentration (4 weight %) at the termination of dilution operation. - The dilution termination concentration (4 weight %) is a concentration to supply the waste paper pulp slurry to the
deinking unit 11 with thetube pump 910, and the dilution termination concentration is set in accordance with the specifications of thetube pump 910. When the concentration of the waste paper pulp slurry reaches 4 weight % (S20), the dilution operating mode is finished (S21). - Then, the
stirring blade 902 is rotated to stir the waste paper pulp slurry while thetube pump 910 of thetransfer unit 909 is driven, thereby obtaining the waste paper pulp slurry from theoutlet 908 of the stirringchamber 901 for transfer to thedeinking unit 11.
