  • the present invention relates generally to the field of lignocellulosic/thermoplastic composite materials.
  • the present invention more particularly relates to the field of processing, metering, and feeding densified lignocellulosic pulp into thermoplastic composite manufacturing processes.
  • Lignocellulosic/thermoplastic composites are materials that combine thermoplastic polymers with lignocellulosic materials, which are used as either reinforcements or fillers.
  • the advantages of such composites are well documented in prior art such as in Canadian Patent Application No. 2,527,325 (Sain et al.).

  • Pulp fibres are generally a product of lignocellulosic materials that have been processed through a combination of chemical and/or mechanical pulping processes. Such processes including Kraft and Mechanical pulping are well known within the pulp and paper industry. Although lignocellulosic pulp can be produced from agricultural fibre sources, by far the largest source of pulp in the world is wood for use in papermaking, paperboard, and absorbent products applications.
  • lignocellulosic pulps are densified and packaged into a baled form, which represents a low-cost method of storing and transporting such raw materials. More specifically, bales of commercially available wood pulp represent a large and relatively reliable supply of lignocellulosic fibres for use in thermoplastic composites applications.
  • thermoplastics There are numerous conventional processes that are used to combine lignocellulosic materials with thermoplastics, most of which are well known to those skilled in the art of plastics processing. Such processes include extrusion, compounding, compression molding, injection molding, and combinations or variations thereof.
  • lignocellulosic- thermoplastic composites use lignocellulosic materials that are supplied in the form of powders such as wood flour. As such, feeding difficulties into such manufacturing processes are reduced, as powders are better flowing than fibrous materials.
  • the other major category of conventional lignocellulosic/thermoplastic composite materials includes compression-molded parts, however in this case feeding issues are diminished as the fibres are typically placed into an open mold and are supplied in various forms of mats.
  • Dezutter et al. in United States Patent No. 6,811,879 disclose a new form of flake pulp having a specific size, density and wet dispersibility, that may be metered in specified quantities when adding to cementitious products due to the fact that bulk quantities of the flakes flow well in conduits and other enclosed containers.
  • Dezutter et al. in United States Patent No. 6,837,452 further discloses a process for dewatering liquid pulp stock to produce singulated pulp flakes. Such flakes may be sent to a baler for packaging.
  • Dezutter and Hansen in United States Patent Nos. 7,201,825 and 7,3.06,846 disclose a process for making discrete particles of cellulosic material that are flowable and meterable. Such particles comprise singulated cellulose fibres that have been densified.
  • Process aids may be added to assist in the flow of fibrous materials.
  • Khavkine et al. in United States Patent No. 6,883,399 (2004) incorporate a blend of flax bast fibres and shives for improved flowability.

  • a "bale" in this disclosure refers to a densified mass regardless of shape, dimension, or method of forming the bale.
  • Dense fibre aggregates are produced by way of a dense fibre aggregate production device whereby aggregates of pulp are produced through gentle size-reduction of the lignocellulosic fibre. This removal occurs without any significant "defiberization effect" or reduction in density of the pulp.
  • the dense fibre aggregate production device is disposed to remove fibre aggregates with minimal shearing action on the individual fibres, thereby preserving fibre length.
  • the densified fibre of the present invention may be produced to provide particular benefits for feeding into thermoplastic composite manufacturing processes, when for example, using loss-in-weight feed systems: (a) it provides relatively narrow particle size distribution; and (b) exhibits reduced "bridging" at feeding and transition points during the composite manufacturing process. Such properties are also beneficial for feeding into processes following size reduction and preceding thermoplastic composite manufacturing processes ("intervening processes").
  • the density of the fibre is substantially maintained during any intervening processes. Accordingly, the densified fibre yielded by the method and system of the present invention may be stored, conveyed or fed through systems and processes prior to any composite manufacturing process.

  • a first aspect of the present invention involves a method of preparing densified lignocellulosic fibre aggregates from lignocellulosic fibre which includes obtaining the densified mass of lignocellulosic fibre by means of a process for forming the densified mass of lignocellulosic fibre.
  • a second aspect of the present invention involves a method of preparing densified lignocellulosic fibre aggregates from lignocellulosic fibre obtained in a densified bale form.
  • baled lignocellulosic pulp in thermoplastic composites is an unconventional application in an industry that is designed to service papermaking and absorbent products manufacturers.
  • the two key issues to be addressed when using baled lignocellulosic pulp for composites applications are the conversion of the pulp bales into a suitable form that can be subsequently fed into any conventional thermoplastic composites manufacturing process, and the precise feeding of such pulp into the manufacturing process.
  • the overall method is illustrated having regard to FIG. 1.
  • the pulp bales are typically processed dry. The difference is that a low bulk density "defiberized” form of the pulp is required, which in thermoplastic composite applications would cause the bridging effect during feeding.
  • lignocellulosic pulp is defined as any lignocellulosic fibrous material that has been manufactured using either chemical or mechanical pulping processes or combinations of both. Such processes include: the Kraft process, Sulphite processes, or the family of High- Yield pulping processes. Some examples of High- Yield pulping processes include: Thermomechanical pulps (TMP), Chemithermomechanical pulp (CTMP), and Bleached Chemithermomechanical pulps (BCTMP).
  • TMP Thermomechanical pulps
  • CMP Chemithermomechanical pulp
  • BCTMP Bleached Chemithermomechanical pulps
  • the pulp can be from both wood and non-wood sources such as agricultural fibres as well as both virgin and recycled fibres. It should be noted that while lignocellulosic fibres in pulp form are preferred in the present invention, other forms of lignocellulosic fibres such as those exposed to enzymatic treatments may also be processed.
  • the bale density referred to in this embodiment should usually define the theoretical maximum density of material eventually fed into the downstream thermoplastic composites manufacturing process. This bale density may be controlled during sheet forming or compression of the bales, depending on the pulping process.
  • the largest source of lignocellulosic pulp is from commercially available wood pulps such as Bleached Kraft pulps or High- Yield pulps.
  • Commercially available Bleached Kraft pulp bales typically consist of individual sheets of pulp that have been dried and stacked to form a complete bale as depicted in FIG. 2, whereas High Yield pulp bales typically consist of a homogenous mass of pulp that has been flash dried and pressed in molds into individual blocks or "cookies". The "cookies" are then typically stacked four-high to form a complete bale as depicted in FIG. 3.
  • Kraft pulp bales typically weigh 500-600 lbs with densities between 0.8-1.1 g/cm 3
  • flash-dried bales of Chemithermomechanical pulp weigh between 300-500 lbs and have densities between 0.5-0.9 g/cm 3 .
  • Both types of bales are shipped "dry", meaning approximate bone-dry moisture content of between 10-16%.
  • bales When provided with lignocellulosic pulp bales, there have been prior art methods have attempted to size-reduce such bales for other applications such as sanitary napkins and diaper manufacturing. Examples of such methods may include cutting or splitting the bale into sheets or slabs, as well as exposing the bale to various forms of high-impact or high-speed milling or grinding, such as hammermills. Such processes however, do not produce forms of the pulp that are suitable for thermoplastic composites manufacturing processes.
  • the present invention uses an alternative strategy for converting lignocellulosic pulp bales into a form suitable for feeding. Instead of using the previously described techniques, the present invention is capable of directly converting the bales through the production of "Dense Fibre Aggregates" from the bale surfaces. This is done without any prior modifications or processing conducted on the bale. Such dense fibre aggregates are suitable for controlled feeding into a variety of thermoplastic composite manufacturing processes. The present invention also maximizes retention of fibre length and minimizes production of dust.
  • Dense fibre aggregates are defined as particles of approximately 0.2-3.0 inch in width, more preferably 0.5-1.0 inch in width, and with individual aggregate densities that are close to the pre-converted density of the pulp bale.
  • Such aggregates may be in a variety of shapes such as oval, rectangular, cubic, or discs.
  • “width” is defined as the diameter, while for irregular or rectangular shaped aggregates, "width” is defined as the longer of the two cross sectional dimensions.
  • the aggregates may also have varying thickness. For example, when taken from Kraft pulp the aggregates would have a lower thickness (flake form) than from flash-dried high-yield pulp bales.
  • the individual aggregate densities will be higher than the bulk density, as the latter is determined by how the individual aggregates pack together, and a densified bale represents approximately the highest packing density.
  • the dense fibre aggregate bulk densities are typically between 0.1-0.8 g/cm 3 .
  • densities of the individual aggregates are equal to the original bale density.
  • the dense fibre aggregates produced by the present invention may have a narrow particle size distribution, and may not experience "bridging" at feeding and transition points during the process so long as their density is approximately maintained. Due to their narrow size distribution, controlled and even feed rates may be achieved.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of one particular embodiment of the present invention.
  • a lignocellulosic pulp bale 20 is fed into a dense fibre aggregate production device 21.
  • the bale may be fed using any standard conveying means, such as a belt conveyor.
  • the dense fibre aggregate production device is a machine equipped with one or more shafts or "rotors" rotating at a "low-speed", where each rotor has a series of cutters or protrusions. The bale is pressed against the low-speed rotors in order to produce the dense fibre aggregates.
  • FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 equipped with a screen 50 and with one or more rotors 51, each rotor comprising protrusions, blades or cutters at defined spacings.
  • Such shredders are commercially available from companies such as SSI Shredding Systems. Devices of this type may operate either vertically or horizontally, meaning that the bale is placed on top of the rotors in the vertical case FIG. 4, or the bale is pressed horizontally against the rotors FIG. 5.
  • Low-speed refers to machines operating at rotations per minute (RPM) preferably below 150 RPM, more preferably below 90 RPM, although RPM settings chosen and actual results may depend on other factors such as the dimensions of the cutters and diameter of the rotor.
  • RPM rotations per minute
  • low-speed high-torque operation differs from size reduction processes that appear to be similar such as granulators or hammer mills, which operate at or above several hundred RPM.
  • pulp bales may be supplied in a variety of dimensions.
  • the number and configuration of the rotors may affect both the throughput and bale handling capability of the aggregate production system. For example a four-rotor system may be capable of handling larger bales, and/or have higher throughput than a single rotor system.
  • the size and number of rotors of the aggregate production system are simply a function of scale and not necessarily a primary element of the principle of the present invention.
  • process variables such as: pulp bale type, starting bale density, screen size/shape, and cutter shape/spacings will define the final size and shape of the dense fibre aggregates, which is matched to the throughput and size of the feeding step 23 as well as the resulting composite manufacturing process being fed 24.
  • a narrow and controllable aggregate size distribution is maintained through the adjustment of such variables.
  • a ram is a device that applies pressure onto the bale against the rotor, and is often powered through a hydraulic system. Such a device may apply pressure downward in the case of a vertically fed size reduction system, as shown in FIG. 4, or horizontally in the case of a horizontal system, as shown in FIG. 5. If sufficient pressure is not maintained, the bale may "float" on top of the rotors and production of dense fibre aggregates may not occur.
  • the dense fibre aggregates are conveyed 22 either to temporary storage, or directly to a feeding system 23.
  • the dense fibre aggregates may also be conveyed to a dryer for moisture content reduction before further feeding into the composites manufacturing process. If the dense fibre aggregates are temporarily stored or dried before feeding, a secondary feeding and conveying system operating on similar constraints discussed should be used.
  • any number of systems and related processes including storage, conveying, or feeding, occurring in between the steps of size reduction 21 and the composites manufacturing process 24 should be provided such that there is minimal reduction in pulp density.
  • the final step of the present invention involves feeding 23 the dense fibre aggregates into typical equipment used in thermoplastic composite manufacturing processes 24.
  • Such processes may include extrusion (for example single or twin-screw extrusion), compounding, injection molding, or combinations thereof, such as in-line compounding and injection molding systems.
  • equipment used in such manufacturing processes have feed throats with associated hoppers mounted on top.
  • the aggregates are fed into the hopper and are discharged by gravity downwards into a rotating screw.
  • the density must again be maintained during the feeding step 23 to prevent "bridging" at the throat of the equipment used for composite manufacturing.
  • the feeding step must also allow for precise control of feed rates in order to determine the exact mass flow rate of aggregates being fed either in continuous or batch processing.
  • the dense fibre aggregates are fed using at least one rotating screw, more preferably a spiral screw, however any screw that does not cause reduction in density of the aggregates may be used.
  • the screw is typically mounted within a tube of approximately the same length.
  • a spiral screw is preferred because its open spiral design allows aggregates to be conveyed without much reduction in density and the aggregates will not "pack" within the flights of the screws.
  • multiple feed screws may also be used.
  • Fig. 6 depicts a cross section of a screw 70 within a tube 71. It is important to note that the distance "D" between the screw outer diameter edge and the inner wall of the tube must be selected to prevent any shearing of the aggregates between the screw and the tube wall which could cause a lowering of the aggregate bulk density, and subsequent bridging of the aggregates. If the distance “D” is too small, the aggregates will be defiberized, yet if the distance "D" is too large, improper filling of the screw will occur and the material will not feed or feed rates will be lowered. Thus, a spiral screw sized correctly in relation to the tube inner diameter may be capable of conveying the dense aggregates without causing any bridging effect. The optimal distance “D” depends on the size of the aggregates being fed, however it is approximately equal to the maximum diameter or length of the aggregates.

  • the feed rate is controlled using the load-cell and system controls to track the reduction in weight of the dense aggregates within the hopper.
  • the feed rates are typically controlled by screw speed, this allows for dynamically adjustable feed rates by constantly varying screw speed with the rate in weight reduction.
