Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a fibre distributor for air-laying fibres on an endless, air pervious forming wire in a plant for producing non-woven webs for e.g., absorbent core material for feminine hygiene articles, incontinence articles, diapers, table top napkins, - hospital products such as bed protection sheets, wipes, and towels .
  • the fluff which is usually employed for products of this nature, is fluff of relatively short cellulose fibres, of relatively long synthetic fibres, or of a blend of such fibres.
  • Other materials like e.g. SAP (Super Absorbent Powder) can be mixed into the fluff.
  • the fibre distributor comprises a forming head, which is placed above the forming wire and has a perforated bottom and at least one row of rotateable wings situated at a distance above said bottom.
  • the fibres supplied to the forming head are, during production, swept along by rows of wings in an air stream in
  • a suction aggregate placed below the forming wire, simultaneously generates a second air stream through the openings in the perforated bottom of the fibre distributor and through the forming wire, whereby fibres entrained in the air stream are successively deposited in a layer on the upper part of the forming wire.
  • Such a fibre distributor is known from the applicant's US patent No. 5.527.171, which is included in the present application as reference.
  • the relatively long synthetic fibres are especially inclined to form nits with other similar or differing types of fibres while being swept along in the air stream by the rows of wings in the fibre distributor.
  • Nits are small tangled bundles of fibres, which can be quite hard and difficult to open even when they are recirculated back to e.g. a hammer mill.
  • the nits contribute neither to the volume, the quality, nor the strength of the non-woven webs. The generation of nits during production of the webs should therefore be kept to as low a level as possible.
  • the plants should be operated with as high a velocity of the air stream along the rows of wings as possible.
  • the velocity should, on the other hand, also be very low in order to keep the contents of fibres per unit of area of the finished non-woven web, which are reduced to nits, to as low a level as possible.
  • a fibre distributor of the kind named in the preamble which has a higher production capacity than hitherto known.
  • a fibre distributor of the kind named in the preamble which during operation generates fewer nits than hitherto known.
  • a fibre distributor of the kind named in the preamble which during operation generates fewer nits than hitherto known and at a higher rate of production than hitherto known.
  • a fibre distributor of the kind named in the preamble which is arranged to, during operation, regulate the process in such a manner that a minimum of nits are generated.
  • a method of the kind named in the preamble by which it is possible to obtain a higher production capacity of a fibre distributor than hitherto known In a sixth aspect of the invention is provided a method of the kind named in the preamble by which it is possible to operate a fibre distributor such that lesser nits than hitherto known are generated.
  • a seventh aspect of the invention is provided a method of the kind named in the preamble by which lesser nits than hitherto known are generated at a higher rate of production than hitherto known.
  • an eighth aspect of the invention is provided a method of the kind named in the preamble by which the process can be regulated in such a manner that a minimum of nits are generated.
  • the fibre distributor is, according to the invention, arranged for regulating the speed of rotation of the wings into an interval of speeds around an optimal speed where the fibres inclination to form nits changes from being lesser to being larger when increasing the rotation speed of the wings.
  • Said optimal speed of rotation of the wings can in practise vary depending on the prevailing conditions of the fibre structure and fibre composition and also of the production parameters of the fibre distributor.
  • the fibre distributor could therefore be arranged to regulate the speed of rotation of the wings into an interval of speeds of rotation, which could include speeds, which by certain conditions are not completely optimal.
  • This interval can be around an average speed of rotation and the regulation can be carried out in agreement only with the composition of the fibres and the arrangement of the actual fibre distributor. That means that the speed of rotation of the wings doesn't need to be optimal all the time, since the optimal speed can vary as explained above .
  • the speed of rotation of the wings can, in another embodiment according to the invention, be optimal all the time by continually regulating the speed to the speed, which at a given moment is optimal. Thereby it advantageously is obtained that the loss of fibres due to the formation of nits, is as low as possible.
  • This embodiment comprises the steps of detecting the amount of nits per unit of area of the fibre layer on the forming wire or in the resulting non-woven web; sending signals representing the results of the detecting as input to a computer; using this input to calculate, by means of a program in the computer, a value which represents an optimal rotation speed where the number of nits at a given moment are small or smallest; and sending signals representing this value as output from the computer to order the wings to rotate with rotating speeds represented by said value.
  • the fibre distributor according to the invention has in this way been self-regulating and will therefore, during operation, automatically produce non-woven webs with a minimum of loss of fibres and at the same time also with an extremely high rate of production.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically, seen from the side, a fibre distributor according to the invention for air-laying fibres on an endless wire by means of a forming head having a perforated bottom and rotateable wings for sweeping the fibres along said bottom during operation,
  • Fig. 2 shows the same, seen from above,
  • Fig. 3 shows in an enlarged scale a fragment of a non-woven web.
  • Fig. 4 are graphs showing the number of nits per unit of area of a non-woven web and also the output per wing per unit of time as a function of the velocity at which the fibres are swept along the perforated bottom of the forming head
  • Fig. 5 is a block diagram of a controlling system for the air- laying process carried out by means of the fibre distributor shown in fig. 1 and 2.
  • the fibre distributor 1 comprises a forming head 2 with an inlet 3 for the cellulose fibres 4 and another inlet 5 for the synthetic fibres 6. These inlets 3,5 admit the respective fibres 4,6 to enter the forming head in air streams in the direction of the arrows shown.
  • the forming head has a perforated bottom 7 with openings 8. Below the bottom is arranged an endless, air pervious forming wire 9 running, during production, over rolls 10 in the direction shown by the arrow. Only part of said forming wire is shown in fig. 1 and 2.
  • An evacuating pump 12 serves for producing a negative pressure in the suction box via an air duct 13.
  • the wings are, during operation of the fibre distributor, rotated with such a speed of rotation that the supplied fibres are swept along the rows of wings in a first air stream, which is generated by the rotating wings, thereby distributing the fibres all over the bottom as illustrated in fig. 2 with the arrows .
  • the fibres in the first air stream are, by means of the suction box and the evacuating pump, successively sucked down through the openings 8 in the perforated bottom 7 entrained in the generated second air stream, thereby depositing the fibres in a layer 16 on the upper part 17 of the forming wire.
  • the forming wire transports this layer into the direction of the arrow for being further treated in the subsequent parts of the associated plant (not shown) in such a way that the desired non-woven web is formed.
  • the synthetic fibres 6 are usually supplied as staple fibres, while the cellulose fibres 4 are supplied in the form of a fibre roll (not shown) , which is defibrated to fluff by a hammer mill (not shown) .
  • Fig. 3 illustrates schematically in a larger scale a fragment of a non-woven web 18, which contains synthetic fibres 6 and cellulose fibres . As it appears from the figure are the cellulose fibres formed with protuberances 19.
  • the non-woven web also contains cellulose nits 20 consisting alone of cellulose fibres and compound nits 21 consisting of both cellulose fibres 4 and synthetics fibres 6.
  • Nits are small tangled fibre bundles, which decrease the quality of the non-woven web.
  • Another disadvantage is that the nits exist in a very compact form. It is therefore necessary to increase the supply of fibres by a quantity of fibres corresponding approximately to the mass of fibres tied up in the nits, thereby increasing the cost of producing the web.
  • the fibre roll contains some nits already from the start. During the defibration process some of these fibres are opened and formed to good fibres . But at the same time some other fibres are formed to nits in a normally larger scale than the quantity of fibres tied up in nits, which are opened. The percentage of nits in the defibrated fluff also increases with the defibrating speed, say from about 1% to about 1,4%.
  • the cellulose fibres 20 act as a kind of nucleus for forming the compound nits 21.
  • the protuberances 19 play an important part in this connection in that they are capable of catching the synthetic fibres .
  • the nits show a tendency to grow during the air-laying process. Having attained a certain size, the nits then tend to split up into two or more nits, which then acts as new nucleuses for forming still more nits.
  • the producer of the webs is in this way reduced to come to a compromise where the quality and the price of the product and also the utilisation of the potential capacity of the plant are very far from being optimal .
  • the figure shows with full line the number of nits pr. m 2 (n/m 2 ) in the finished web as function of the velocity v
  • the web produced in the example had a weight of 0,120 kg/m 2 and was composed of 80% cellulose fibres and 20% synthetic fibres.
  • the average length of the cellulose fibres was about 2 mm, while the average length of the synthetic fibres was about 6 mm.
  • the wings in a row were, as illustrated with the arrows in fig. 2, rotated in the same direction while the wings in two adjacent rows were rotated in opposite directions, whereby the fibres were swept along the perforated bottom and evenly dispersed over the area of this.
  • the perforated bottom was of the type described in the applicant's patent application WO 9-9/54537, "a sifting net for a fibre distributor".
  • the mesh size of the net was 4.
  • the above-mentioned specifications are common for non-woven webs used for e.g. incontinence articles and also for existing production plants.
  • the normal velocity of the first air stream used for producing said non-woven web was 3 m/sec. At this velocity the number of nits pr. m 2 was found to be 500 n/m with an output per wing per hour of 12 kg/w/h.
  • the wings rotated with such a rotation speed that the velocity of the first air stream is between 9 m/sec and 16 m/sec and especially between 11 m/sec and 14 m/sec.
  • the wings rotated with such a rotation speed that the velocity of the first air stream is between 5 m/sec and 26 m/sec, preferentially between 8 m/sec and 17 m/sec, and especially between 10 m/sec and 15 m/sec.
  • Fig. 4 also shows that the contents of nits in the finished non-woven web increases from 67 n/m 2 at a velocity of 1,0 m/sec up to a maximum of 583 n/m 2 at a velocity of 4,4 m/sec. After that the nits contents decreases to a minimum of 60 n/m 2 at a velocity of 12,7 m/sec for thereafter to increase again.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is the mutual distance between each of two neighbouring rows of wings the mutual distance between two wings in a row plus between 50 mm and 135 mm, especially between 75 mm and 105 mm.
  • the fibre distributor therefore is equipped with a regulator for regulating the velocity of the first air stream in an interval around an average optimal velocity.
  • Said interval has according to the invention a size between 0.5 and 1.5, preferentially between 0.75 and 1.25 and especially between 0.9 and 1.1 times the rotation speed of the wings generating said average optimal velocity.
  • the regulating of the velocity of the first air stream can advantageously be performed automatically by means of a controlling system according to the invention, which schematically is illustrated by means of the block diagram shown in fig. 5.
  • This system comprises a detector 22, which is connected to a computer 23, which again is connected to an actuator 24 for rotating the wings and also to actuators for driving other functions of the plant, which possibly should vary when varying the velocity of the first air stream.

Abstract

Un distributeur de fibres est utilisé pour produire des fibres par procédé « air-laid » (4 ; 6) sur une toile de mise en forme sans fin, perméable à l'air (9), dans une usine de production de voiles non tissés. Ce distributeur de fibres comporte une tête de mise en forme (2) ayant une partie inférieure perforée (7) et des rangées (14) d'ailes rotatives (15) situées à une certaine distance au-dessus de la partie inférieure (7) pour balayer les fibres fournies (4 ; 6) pendant la production, le long des rangées (14) d'ailes (15) dans un flux d'air avant que les fibres ne quittent successivement la tête de mise en forme (2) par les ouvertures (8) de la partie inférieure perforée (7) aux fins de leur dépôt dans une couche (16) située en partie supérieure (17) de la toile de mise en forme (2). Les fibres (4 ; 6) sont, pendant qu'elles sont balayées de cette manière, inclinées afin de former des petits paquets fibreux (20 ; 21). Les ailes (15) sont par conséquent conçues pour tourner à une vitesse optimale de rotation dans un espace où l'inclinaison des fibres (4 ; 6) devant former les petits paquets fibreux (20 ; 21) change d'une valeur inférieure à une valeur supérieure lorsque la vitesse de rotation des ailes (15) augmente. Le procédé et le distributeur de fibres de la présente invention permettent de produire des voiles non tissés avec un minimum de perte de fibres sous forme de petits paquets fibreux et en même temps avec un taux de production extrêmement élevé.
