Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for producing chipboard, in which a layer or bed of wood chips, to which binders are added, is scattered onto a steel band and the chips moved into a gap between two heated pressing components which compress the wood chip layer to produce the chipboard.
  • the spacer element always guarantee a constant spacing, the layer or bed of the'wood chips is held during the pressing operation at a constant thickness, until the curing of the binder has occurred. In this way, there is no springing back, or at most, only a very slight springing back, depending on'the elastic properties of the manufactured and cured chipboard.
  • An'object of this invention is to provide a simple arrangement for compressing chipboards, whereby it is possible to produce a smoother surface than with the previously known chipboards and, as far as possible, to
  • This object which forms the basis of this invention is achieved by maintaining the width of the gap between the two pressing components at the commencement of the pressing operation at a distance smaller than the thickness of the chipboard to be manufactured.
  • the inner portion of the chipboard will spring outwardly again, since curing in this portion has still not occurred.
  • the extent the inner portion springs out is determined by the continuing downstream compressive pressure or the width of the following pressure gap, when using a 'continuously operating arrangement, and by the thickness of the heaped layer of chips and the material properties of the chips.
  • the outward springing produces a smaller chip density in the central region of the board, where, as is known, the chips only contribute to a small degree to the strength of the chipboard.
  • the teaching of this invention can be achieved in a quite simple manner by adjusting the gap between two pressure cylinders to a distance smaller than the thickness of the chipboard which is to be manufactured. Following the pressing gap, the'pressure cylinder is wrapped or embraced by a steel band under tension, at a spaced apart distance corresponding to the thickness of the chipboard to be manufactured.
  • the pressure'cylinders can be mounted for movement relative to one another and can be pressed against one another in such a way that the required narrowing or undersize of the pressure gap is produced at the start of the pressing operation.
  • the pressing cylinders can also be fixedly mounted,
  • Chips 2 to which a binder is added are scattered by means of a scattering or broadcasting machine 1, on a band 3, which runs continuously in the direction of arrow 4 over a table 5. In this way, a constant layer or bed 6 of chips is formed.
  • This bed of chips travels on the band 3, which is preferably made of steel, into a gap 7 formed between a large heated pressure cylinder 8 and a small heated pressure cylinder 9.
  • the band 3 wraps around the major part of the pressure cylinder 8 following the gap 7 and then runs around a guide roller 10.
  • a gap 11 is formed between the cylinder and the band 3. This gap is filled by the compressed wood chips or, strictly speaking, the already partially cured chipboard.
  • the width of the gap 7 between the pressure cylinders 8 and 9 is smaller than the thickness of the chipboard which is to be manufactured.
  • the width of gap 7 is 3.8 mm when the thickness of the chipboard to be manufactured is 4.2 mm.
  • the width of the gap 11 is approximately the same as the thickness of the chipboard to be manufactured, i.e., about 4.2 mm.
  • the excessive compression in the narrowed gap 7 a particularly intimate thermal contact is produced between the surface of band 3 which rests on the heated pressure cylinder 9, the adjacent region of the layer 6, the surface of the heated pressure cylinder 8 and the opposite surface region of layer 6.
  • the curing in the region of the gap 7 occurs in at least the surface regions. This curing takes place with a high degree of compression in the gap 7, so that a high density is guaranteed in the surface region of the chipboard to be manufactured.
  • the'partially cured chipboard springs out again in the middle region of the board. This is because no curing or only a slight curing has occurred, and as a result, the middle region of the chipboard is no longer as strongly compressed. As a result, in regards to strength, the chipboard has a lower density in the less significant central region. Hence, wood is saved and a lower weight is produced.
  • the curing of the central region of the chipboard then occurs in the gap 11 between the band 3 and the pressing cylinder 8.
  • the pressing cylinder 9 is provided with bearings 12,- which are displaceably mounted on a guide 13 substantially in the direction towards the pressing cylinder 8.
  • the gap 7 between the pressure cylinders 8 and 9 is readily adjustable.
  • the adjustment of gap 7 can be made by appropriate establishment of a certain pressure on the bearing 12 in the direction of the pressure cylinder 8.
  • the width of the gap 7 also depends on the thickness of the layer 6. Layer 6, however, can very easily be kept constant, so that a constant width in the gap 7 is produced.
  • an apparatus for producing chipboard from a layer of wood chips and binders, said chipboard having a predetermined thickness said apparatus including a first and second heated pressure member and a steel band, said steel band carrying said layer between said first and second heated pressure members, the improvement comprising means for producing high chip density outer regions and a low chip density intermediate region in said chipboard, said producing means including means for positioning said first heated pressure member relative to said second heated pressure member to initially compress said layer to a thickness less than said predetermined thickness.
  • first heated pressure member is a first pressure cylinder and'said second heated pressure member is a second pressure cylinder, said first and second pressure cylinders defining a gap therebetween, said gap being less than said predetermined thickness.
