Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the manufacture of spunbond. More particularly this invention concerns an apparatus for making spunbond from continuous filaments.
  • An apparatus for making spunbond from endless filaments, in particular continuous filaments of thermoplastic material has at least one spinneret for spinning the continuous filaments, at least one cooler for cooling the filaments, at least one stretcher for stretching the filaments and at least one device for depositing the filaments to form the desired nonwoven web.
  • a continuous or endless filaments means within the scope of the invention filaments having almost continuous length. These continuous filaments differ in this respect from staple fibers which have much shorter lengths of for example 10 mm to 60 mm.
  • An apparatus of the above-mentioned type is basically known from practice in various embodiments. Such an apparatus is also known as a spunbond apparatus. Many of the apparatuses of this type known from practice have the disadvantage that at high filament speeds and high throughputs or production rates, the quality of the filament deposition leaves something to be desired. This particularly relates to the homogeneity of the deposition and the strength of the nonwoven webs produced. High filament speeds and low titers of product continuous filaments can frequently only be achieved with significant loss of quality of the nonwoven webs produced. The known apparatuses are therefore capable of improvement in this respect.
  • Another object is the provision of such an improved apparatus for making spunbond of continuous filaments that overcomes the above-given disadvantages, in particular in which high filament speeds and low titers as well as high production rates can be achieved and the quality of the filament deposition or the nonwoven web produced meets all requirements despite the high production rate.
  • An apparatus for making spunbond from continuous thermoplastic filaments has according to the invention a spinneret for spinning the continuous filaments and advancing them in a filament-travel direction, a cooler for cooling the filaments, a stretcher for stretching the filaments, a depositing device including a foraminous belt extending in a machine direction transverse to the filament-travel direction for deposition of the filaments as a nonwoven web and conveyance away from the stretcher, a diffusor between the stretcher and the foraminous belt so that filaments and primary air from the stretcher enter into the diffusor, and a suction device for extracting air through the foraminous belt at an extraction region underneath the diffusor outlet and having a width b in a machine direction that is greater than a width B of the diffusor outlet.
  • the diffusor forms upstream and downstream secondary air-inlet gaps at opposite ends through which secondary air is aspirated into the diffusor.
  • the secondary air-inlet gaps are oriented such that the secondary air flows in at an inflow angle ⁇ of less than 100° with respect to the filament-travel direction or with respect to a longitudinal central plane of the depositing device or of the diffusor.
  • the diffuser has walls forming a downstream section diverging toward the depositing device and forming the outlet.
  • the invention is an apparatus for making spunbond from continuous filaments, in particular from thermoplastic material, comprising at least one spinneret for spinning the continuous filaments, at least one cooler for cooling the filaments, at least one stretcher for stretching the filaments and comprising at least one depositing device, in particular in the form of a depositing foraminous belt, for depositing the filaments to form the nonwoven web.
  • At least one diffusor is provided between the stretcher and the depositing device or the depositing foraminous belt so that filaments and primary air from the stretcher enter into the diffusor, and in the region of the at least one diffusor at least two secondary air-inlet gaps provided on opposite ends of the diffusor are provided through which the secondary air enters into the diffusor.
  • the at least two secondary air-inlet gaps are formed such that the secondary air flows in at an inflow angle ⁇ with respect to the filament-travel direction or with respect to the longitudinal central plane M of the apparatus or the diffusor, this inflow angle ⁇ being less than 100°, advantageously less than or equal to 90°, preferably less than 80°, preferably less than 70° and particularly preferably less than 65°.
  • the downstream diffusor section in the filament-travel direction has diffusor walls that diverge toward the depositing device, and these diffusor walls form a diffusor outlet having a width B relative to the machine direction MD.
  • a suction device extracts ambient or process air through the depositing device or through the depositing foraminous belt and forms an extraction region provided underneath the diffusor outlet that has a width b in the machine direction greater than the width B of the diffusor outlet.
  • Machine direction means within the scope of the invention in particular the conveying direction of the filament deposition or nonwoven web on the deposition device or on the depositing foraminous belt.
  • the extraction region with its width b extends underneath the diffusor over the entire width B of the diffusor outlet. It also lies within the scope of the invention that the extraction region is delimited by two partitions provided one after the other in the machine direction. The width b of the extraction region is in particular measured between the upper or upstream edges juxtaposed with the foraminous belt in the machine direction.
  • the suction means includes an extraction fan that extracts process air in the extraction region through the deposition device or through the depositing foraminous belt.
  • several extraction regions can be provided consecutively in the machine direction, for example three extraction regions, which in particular differ from one another relative to their extraction speeds.
  • the extraction region is the principal extraction region provided underneath the diffusor output or directly underneath the diffusor outlet.
  • the extraction region or principal extraction region provided under the diffusor outlet or directly under the diffusor outlet can for its part be divided for example by partitions.
