Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for dryly producing a non- woven fibre web of at least relatively short and relatively long fibres .
  • the invention also relates to a plant for dryly producing a non-woven fibre web by means of two air-lay stations placed one after the other and each comprising at least one fibre feed duct to feed fibres to the station from a fibre source, at least one air-lay forming head connected to the fibre feed duct and at least partly defined by a perforated screen, and a suction box for successively sucking fibres in the forming head through the screen.
  • the invention moreover relates to a non-woven fibre web produced by means of the method and the plant for dryly producing a non-woven fibre web.
  • the invention relates to the use of Cotton inters Pulp (CLP) , which is a relatively inexpensive by-product derived from the seed coats of the cotton plant, for dryly producing a relatively inexpensive non-woven air laid cotton fibre web.
  • CLP Cotton inters Pulp
  • the air-lay technique is known from e.g. GB Patent No. 1 499 687 which describes a plant for dryly producing a non-woven fibre web.
  • This plant has an air-lay forming head in form of a box which is defined by a perforated base at the bottom. Above the base is rows of rotating wings which distribute the fibres during operation into flows across the perforated base. Below this is placed an air-permeable forming wire which is running endlessly during operation for accommodating fibres which are drawn through the openings of the perforated base by the negative pressure in a suction box placed under the forming wire.
  • This plant is well suited for producing a non-woven fibre web of like fibres or at least of fibres on the whole having the same configuration. If the fibre web is to be made of fibres having substantially different lengths, the plant can however not function optimally, and the fibre web produced cannot obtain a completely satisfactory quality.
  • GB No . 2 031 970 describes an air-lay plant having several forming heads of the above-mentioned type placed in a row one after another above a joint forming wire. By means of this arrangement, the plant is able to operate with both short and long fibres with good results. Fibres of one specific length are then distributed from a forming head having base openings which are suited for exactly this fibre length. Layered fibre webs can be produced by means of this technique as it also is desired in some cases. The known plant is however not suited for producing homogeneous fibre webs of fibres of different lengths .
  • the last-named problem has been tried solved by placing the forming heads on top of each other in stead of in a row one after the other.
  • a plant is described in the patent specification WO 96/10663.
  • the plant has three forming heads.
  • the uppermost one is supplied with SAP (Super Absorbent Powder) and has a base with openings that exactly fit the size of the SAP.
  • the middle forming head is supplied with short cellulose fibres and has a base that exactly fits the size of these short fibres, and the lowest forming head is supplied with long thermobinding fibres and has a base that exactly fits the size of these long fibres.
  • the base of the upper forming head forms an upper delimitation to the middle forming head, and the base of this head forms an upper delimitation to the lowest forming head.
  • the openings in the base of the lowest forming head are so large that the SAP and the cellulose fibres can pass through the openings simultaneously with the thermobinding fibres, and the openings in the base of the middle forming head are so large that the SAP can pass through these openings simultaneously with the cellulose fibres.
  • the SAP When the plant is running, the SAP is driven via the openings in the base of the upper forming head down into the middle forming head, the SAP and the cellulose fibres are driven via the openings in the base of the middle forming head down into the lowest forming head, and the SAP, the short cellulose fibres and the long thermobinding fibres are driven via the openings in the base of the lowest forming head down in a layer onto the forming wire.
  • the SAP and the short cellulose fibres are first mixed in the middle forming head and then the long thermobinding fibres in the lowest forming head.
  • a homogenous fibre web should be obtainable.
  • it is difficult to control the different air flows of the process such that the resulting fibre web obtains an acceptable homogeneity.
  • a large part of the fibres that form part of the air-laid fibre product are normally inexpensive cellulose fibres which can be mixed with e.g. thermobinding fibres depending on the application purpose just as the products also can contain SAP (Super Absorbent Powder) to increase the ability of the products to absorb liquids.
  • SAP Super Absorbent Powder
  • products are wanted that are substantially softer than the products that are based on cellulose fibres.

  • short residual fibres from the seed coats of the cotton plants.
  • This by-product is far less expensive than common cotton fibres. It is therefore possible to use it for producing a very soft, non-woven cotton fibre web which, considering the quality, would be able to compete on price with fibre webs based on cellulose fibres.
  • CLP consists of fibres that are very fine and very short and also has a large content of unopened fibres or nits.
  • the above known plants and methods can therefore not be used with a satisfactory result to produce a nits-free, homogenous, non-woven fibre web of CLP-fibres and thermobinding fibres.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and a plant of the kind mentioned in the opening paragraph, by means of which a homogenous, nits-free, non-wove fibre web can ' be produced on the basis of CLP-fibres and thermobinding fibres.
  • a second object of the invention is to provide a non-woven fibre web of the kind mentioned in the opening paragraph, that has a homogenous and substantially nits-free structure.
  • a third object of the invention is to provide a use of Cotton Linters Pulp (CLP) as base material for dryly producing a non- woven cotton fibre web.
  • CLP Cotton Linters Pulp
  • the novel and unique features of the method according to the invention are the fact that a first air flow with short fibres from a fibre source is generated, that the first air flow is made to pass a first perforated screen having openings of a size that mainly allow opened, but not unopened short fibres to pass, that the first air flow is made to pass an air- permeable first forming wire running endlessly during operation and during this retaining a non-woven layer of short fibres, that a second air flow with short fibres from the fibre layer on the first forming layer is generated, that a third air flow with long fibres from a fibre source of long fibres is generated, that the second and third air flow are made to pass a second perforated screen having openings of a size that allow both short and long fibres to pass, that the second and third air flow are made to pass an air-permeable second forming wire running endlessly during operation, and are made to settle as a fibre layer on the second forming wire, and that a non-woven fibre web is made of this fibre layer upon further

  • novel and unique features of the use according to the invention are to use CLP as base material to produce a non- woven air-laid cotton fibre web together with thermobinding fibres .
  • a cotton fibre web based on conventional cotton fibres ' will be to expensive for practical application due to the relatively high price of these fibres.
