Definitions
- the invention relates to the mixture of plastic with wood particles or others
- wood particles / plant particles Plant particles or the like, hereinafter referred to collectively as wood particles / plant particles. To the extent that only wood or only wood particles are addressed, the wood particle / plant particle includes.
- Plastics are used in many different ways.
- the plastics can consist of monomers and / or of polymers. It is often a mixture / blends of plastics, although mixtures with other substances than plastics also occur. This is especially true for the production of plastic foam.
- Extruders are preferred for processing plastics.
- the materials used can be melted, mixed or homogenized very advantageously with an extruder, and the proportions of the mixture dispersed in the plastic.
- the feed can be heated or cooled at the same time.
- the deformation exerted by the extruder spindles on the feed material causes considerable heating.
- Very difficult substances can also be mixed in the extruder.
- the difficult to mix substances include wood and plastic. The wood is fed into the extruder in small particles, where it is coated with the plastic.
- the plastic In order to effect the wrapping, the plastic must be strongly plasticized. This takes place under appropriate deformation, heating and under pressure. The heat, however, is only passed on very poorly by the wood. In addition, the wood contains a lot of pores. According to an older proposal, a danger is seen that the plastic
- the wood-plastic mixture is also called a wood substitute.
- Wood is used in various areas. This includes furniture, interior design,
- wood In upholstered furniture, wood is mostly only used as a construction material.
- upholstered furniture has a solid substructure, e.g. a frame, also called a frame.
- a frame also called a frame.
- Seating surfaces, backrests and armrests as well as the feet are optionally mounted in and on the frame.
- the frame also directly forms the seat, backrests and armrests or vice versa.
- Frame is made, is the construction material.
- frames for upholstered furniture are made of wood. Boards and sticks are used. Wood has the advantage that the individual parts can be connected to each other as well as to the upholstery and upholstery cover by so-called tacking. U-shaped clamps are used for stapling. The clip replaces the upholstered nail from earlier times.
- wood particles other shredded plants can also be used.

- wood fibers in the extrudate one speaks of a reinforcement.
- wood particles are used differently in plastic, wood is called a filler.
- a wood substitute if the proportion of wood in the mixture reaches 50% by weight.
- boards are from the
- the European market only accepts a wood substitute in the visible area if the appearance of the material comes much closer to the wood. This requires 70% or more wood.
- the plastic portion of the extrudate should be reduced as much as possible.
- the wood content in the extrudate is 60 to 95% by weight, based on the mixture.
- the optimal proportion of plastic should be added depending on the mixture proportions, the processing and the intended property values of the mixture.
- the dimensions of the plant particles are determined by the continuity of the particles in the extruder when using conventional extruders.
- the continuity is determined by the play of the moving extruder parts in the extruder and by the opening width of the die gap.
- the continuity can be determined based on the known machine data.
- the permissible dimensions of the plant particles for the respective extruder can then be determined.
- the Dimensions of the plant particles are chosen to be smaller than the patency described above. This can be done by grinding and / or classification. When grinding, the wood particles are reduced to a desired size.
- Classification is a particle mixture separated by sieving for desired particle sizes.
- the continuity of the extruders can be adapted to the desired particle size according to the older proposal.
- Double screw extrusion also depends on the play between the screws and the surrounding housing.
- the game can be built by extrusion or

- the planetary spindles are easy to replace.
- the central spindle and the internally toothed housing bush or the internally toothed housing can also be replaced.
- PE polyethylene
- PS polystyrene
- PU polyurethane
- PP polypropylene
- the property of the 11 o lz / plastic material also depends on the adhesion between the plastic and plant particles or wood particles.
- Adhesion promoters can compensate for a lack of adhesion of plastic with plant particles or with wood particles or improve the adhesion.
- Adhesion promoters form molecular bridges at the interfaces between the substances to be bonded, here the plastic.
- Adhesion promoters can also have the task of increasing the adhesion to these other substances.
- Adhesion promoters can be VC (vinyl chloride) copolymers, polymerizable polyesters or vinyl-acrylonitrile-methacrylic acid copolymers, Phenolic resins, rubber derivatives or acrylic resins with or without PF (phenol-formaldehyde) or EP (epoxy) resins.
- EVA ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers
- adhesion promoters It may also be sufficient to make the plant particles hydrophobic, i.e. the
- the plastic is conventionally fed into the extruder as granules with the plant particles and aggregates.
- the granules already contain a mixture of plastic and aggregates.
- wood can have a considerable moisture content.
- plastic can also contain moisture.
- the moisture can be reduced to any desired level for the extrusion by drying.
- the humidity setting / degassing can also be carried out in the extruder within considerable limits. It is not always desirable to have a minimal moisture content, but rather a specific moisture content which influences the extrusion process and / or the nature of the extrudate.
- twin-screw extruders have been particularly favorable for extrusion
- Extruders can advantageously be composed of different elements or sections of different designs. Therefore it is possible for
- Plasticization zone a cheap element in the design of a
- twin screw extruders and to combine this element in other extruder zones with other designs that have advantages there.
- a single-screw extruder section can be used in the filling zone, with which a pressure build-up can be advantageously represented.
- Other sections are better for melting the plastics, mixing and homogenizing the feed material.
- the plastic melts under pressure and temperature
- extruder elements with a high mixing capacity. These are, for example, elements with the design of a planetary roller extruder. At the same time, these elements can also be advantageous for melting the plastic.
- Planetary roller extruders / sections also have a high cooling effect, with which the processing temperature can be controlled very precisely. Depending on the type of plant or type of wood and the plastic, there is a different optimal processing temperature for the
- the temperature can be, for example, up to 200 degrees Celsius with a maximum residence time (heat exposure period) of 15 minutes. With a shorter duration, the maximum temperature can be higher than with a longer duration.
- a certain moisture content may be desired in both extrusion processes.
- the residual moisture can serve as a lubricant.
- the residual moisture can also be used in chemical
- the appropriate moisture / lignin content can be tested by varying the moisture and varying the lignin content. Lignin is also commercially available in liquid / dissolved form.
- the moisture can be removed by evaporation after evaporation in the extender.
- the degassing can take place after evaporation. This can be done before the plastic / wood particles touch the plastic. The degassing can also take place during or after the mixing of plastic with the wood / plant particles.
- the heating required for evaporation arises from the deformation work when plasticizing or processing plastic and wood / plant particles and, if appropriate, by adding heat.
- the supply of heat can e.g. temperature control in the extruder housing.
- the degassing takes place immediately before the extrusion die.
- Various concepts are available for degassing.
- the degassing can also take place in an extruder. There are also several here
- Pressure reduction of the melt before This can be done with various measures, e.g. by changing the pitch of the screw in the extruder.
- the melt can also be drawn off from the extruder and passed through a
- Degassing device performed and returned to the extruder.
- Pressure control can be made considerably easier by interposing a melt pump. This also applies to the pressure immediately before the extrusion die
- Newer degassing concepts are independent of the pressure reduction in the melt. For example, effective degassing can be done with a side arm extruder that is run empty. This means that the side arm extruder is operated as if it should push material into the main extruder. However, it is driven empty. Its job is to push back the melt pushing out of the main extruder.
- the PCT / EP2007 / 9140 has therefore set itself the task of producing
- the application is at the same time opposed to the knowledge that high wood or plant shares lead to heavy wear in the planetary roller extruder or planetary roller extruder section provided.
- wear-causing aggregates of the mixture are plasticized and then injected into the stream of wood particles and that the mixture is homogenized and pressed.
- the supplements can include: paints, couplers / adhesion promoters to increase the adhesion between plastic and wood, lubricants to reduce friction in the extruder, water repellents, stabilizers.
- Wood particles and other plant particles melted and then the
- Wood particles or other plant particles is fed. However, this is not intended to solve a wear problem on planetary roller extruders. The aim of this measure is to save time that is required for the melting of the plastic. In this US patent, the entire length of the extruder is required to be continuous
- Gearing usually has a constant pitch over the entire length. This is contrary to the concept of changing gradients.
- Teeth of the surrounding housing are held. When skipping, the entire toothing is damaged. This can result in total damage to the gearing
- the acquisition costs are reduced by using a planetary roller extruder that also includes several downstream single-screw extruders of the wood particles / plant-plastic mixture.
- Each of these single screw extruders has the sole purpose of ensuring the pressure necessary for the mixture to pass through the downstream nozzle. With its outlet cross section, the nozzle defines the cross section of the emerging strand. The same or different nozzles can be used.
- the various single-screw extruders form parallel production lines, which are operated from a common plant section with the mixture described.
- other extruders could also be used individually or in groups.
- the single screw extruders are unrivaled in terms of price and fulfill all of the requirements described.
- the distribution of the mixture is used to degas the route.
- the degassing can take place in the ambient air.
- the heat contained in the mixture already causes degassing.
- Degassing can be increased by applying a negative pressure.
- the degassing at the outlet of the planetary roller extruder can be the only degassing point or can be supplemented with a known degassing at another point of the planetary roller extruder.
- a storage container is also initially provided between the planetary roller extruder and the single-screw extruders explained above.
- the storage container forms a buffer by compensating for production fluctuations between the planetary roller extruder and the downstream production lines.
- the mixture is kept at the intended temperature in the storage container.
- Degassing preferably also takes place in the storage container.
- the distributor with which the mixture is distributed to the individual single-screw extruders can have different shapes.
- a switch is provided on the distributor, which projects like a knife into the incoming mixture and branches off desired quantities from the stream.
- the branched quantity can be changed by adjusting the switch.
- the Adjustment of the switch combined with a quantity measurement, so that a contact for an adjustment of the switch is given when the desired quantity in a branch is undershot or exceeded.
- This control is preferably provided with a particular inertia, so that not every small gap in the mixture flow leads to an adjustment of the switch.
- the inertia of the control can be achieved by measuring at intervals. The intervals are at least 5 seconds long, preferably 10 seconds long, more preferably at least 20 seconds long.
- the inertia of the control can also be achieved in that the adjustment only reacts when larger deviations from the target value are reached.
- a reaction is preferably provided in the event of a deviation from the target amount of at least 5% by weight, more preferably with a deviation of at least 10% by weight and most preferably with a deviation of at least 20% by weight.
- a switch is sufficient for two branches to two production lines.
- the number of turnouts is 1 less than the number of branches.
- the switches are optionally combined with an open slide.
- the slide preferably has a flat floor, so that the switches can be moved close to the floor or even in contact with the floor.
- the turnouts are articulated and equipped with an adjustment motor.
- the quantity is measured either in the area of the filling opening or in the funnel on the downstream single-screw extruders.
- the quantity can also be measured by weight measurement on the slide.
- part of the branch is preferably arranged directly behind the switches and provided there with a measuring device.
- These can be electrical measuring cells.
- load cells have a strain gauge that reacts to different loads, for example with different resistance for a flowing electrical current.
- the interval control can also be combined with the larger quantity deviation described.
- the setpoints of the control can preferably be changed in order to take into account an adaptation to different required quantities of mixture in the production lines.
- the required quantities of mixture in the production lines change, for example, if other profiles of smaller cross-section or larger cross-section are to be produced.
- the distributor can also have a distributor cone which directs the mixture emerging from the planetary roller extruder into a channel. Different ones go from the gutter
- the distributor cone can also direct the mixture directly into the branches.
- the various branches are then preferably arranged around the distributor cone.
- the branches are also provided with an adjustable inlet opening and the control of the inlet opening is combined with a rotatable distributor cone, so that sufficient rotation is achieved by rotating the distributor cone
- Mixing quantity can be guaranteed before each inlet opening.
- the amount of mixture is preferably adjusted accordingly.
- Buffer / storage container can regulate the amount of mixture flowing in
- Discharge lock can be easily adapted to the need.
- the adjustability of the inlet openings acts like an adjustment of the switch described above.
- the same means as for the switch can also be used to adjust the
- Inlet opening can be used.
- a circumferential scraper is also provided on the distributor cone, which moves the mixture quantity in whole or in part to the various inlet openings. On the way, the inlet openings are mixed at intervals
- a rotating distributor plate is used instead of the distributor cone. The same can be achieved with the distributor plate as with the distributor cone.
- a rotary feeder can be used to feed the various branches to the production lines.
- Each cellular wheel sluice has a cellular wheel. The cellular wheel forms various chambers, which are filled from above and open above the branch to be charged. On the way to the correct branch, other branches that are not to be loaded at the moment can be run over if the filled chamber of the cellular wheel can be closed with a cover. The lid is then opened at the correct junction.
- covers or slides can also be provided on the inlet opening of the branches.
- the distributor is preferably designed like a pot
- the pot volume also belongs to the advantages. If the pot is large enough, the pot also forms a storage container / buffer.
- the various branches in the floor area are connected to the pot.
- the floor area includes the floor and the lower area of the side walls.
- the mixture can be directed in front of the inlet openings by means of guide devices inside the pot.
- a guide device optionally forms a cone.
- the control device can also be used for other types of distribution.
- a round pot shape is advantageous for the rotor because the rotatable rotor can then easily move along the container wall.
- the rotor preferably includes arms that are straight and / or curved. Even more preferably, the arms are at an angle of inclination to the circumference of the rotor or to the container wall in each rotational position, so that the mixture is pressed outward into the inlet openings of the branch.
- a semicircular or oval or sickle-like course of the arms is favorable, in which the arms of the rotor open in the direction of rotation and the mixture is moved along the arms.
- the arms are preferably arranged so that they cover the entire mixture.
- this has the advantage that there are no dead spaces on the container wall in which the plastic remains for too long and is damaged as a result of excessive heat load.
- the openings in the pot can also be referred to as outlet openings.
- the term outlet opening may even be more appropriate than the term
- Inlet opening if the branch is not directly connected to the pot, but is arranged a short distance below the openings in the pot.
- the above-mentioned devices for changing the opening width are preferably provided below the pot at its openings.
- Sliders are optionally used as adjusting devices, the actuation of which partially or even completely closes or opens the openings.
- the direction of movement of the slide preferably runs parallel to the bottom of the pot in the radial direction. However, other slide directions can also be considered.
- the slides can be held in a straight line. The sliders can too
- the slides are provided with a stepping motor that enables a defined movement and position of the slides.
- the drive for the rotor can be of a simple type.
- FR-A-2564374 shows the use of an auxiliary extruder next to a main extruder.
- the auxiliary extruder has the task of feeding recyclate into the main extruder.
- the expert knows that recyclate is only permitted in small percentages, based on the amount of fresh plastic in the main extruder.
- the addition / task can be dosed very well. This does not teach a separate melting of the plastic for wood-plastic mixtures to solve wear problems in planetary rollers.
- EP 1262294 Al also gives no solution to the wear problems.
- the publication describes the production of foam from wood-plastic mixtures.
- the plastic is first mixed with the additives and melted, and the melt mixture is homogenized. This is followed by mixing with the wood particles.
- the plastic is evenly distributed over the wood particles.
- each thermoplastic has a melting point and above the melting point a point at which the plastic becomes gaseous and / or enters into a chemical reaction.
- the point at which the plastic changes to a gaseous state depends on the ambient pressure.
- the melting temperature for polyethylene (PE) for example, can be between 100 and 135 degrees Celsius (PE-LD 105-118 degrees, PE-MD 120-125 degrees, PE-HD 126-130 degrees, PE- UHMW 10-135 degrees, PE-LLD 126 degrees). Under appropriate pressure, the melt temperature can be much higher (PE-LD 160-260 degrees, PE-HD 260-300 degrees, PE-HD-UHMW 240-300 degrees.
- the wood particles By pressing the wood particles, their voids are at least significantly reduced.
- the voids / pores in the wood are preferably reduced by at least 10%, preferably by at least 20%, of their initial volume.
- the wood particles are compressed even further, for example reduced to at least 40% of their initial volume. This is done by compressing the wood particles or plant particles. The compaction is provided at least on the surface. The compression on the surface reduces the consumption of plastic that is necessary to establish a sufficient connection between the particles and to reduce the moisture absorption and swelling of the particles to a level that is permissible for the respective application.
- Adherence to certain grain sizes has a similar effect.
- Chips with a particle size of less than 1 mm, more preferably less than or equal to 0.8 mm, are preferably used.
- the chips used have a grain spectrum.
- the main mass of the chips is preferably from 0.3 to 0.4 mm in particle size.
- the main mass means at least 50%, preferably at least 60% of the chips.
- the compression of wood particles for the production of mixtures of wood particles and plastic is in itself the subject of an older proposal.
- the older proposal provides for the wood particles to be pelletized before being brought together with the plastic.
- the use of pellets primarily serves to increase the proportion of wood in the mixture, for example to a proportion of more than 80% by weight in the mixture.
- the pellets make it easier for the wood particles to be drawn into the extruder.
- the pellets run easily into the feed hopper of an extruder.
- the pellets are also easy to dose. In practice, however, the pellets have not been tried and tested because there is a risk that the pellets will not disintegrate sufficiently in the extruder, but will disintegrate later if they are moistened after the mixture has been profiled. The danger is much greater when the material is used outdoors if the moistened pellets in the mixture always go through a freeze / thaw change.
- the wood particles are also pressed and the void in the wood particles is reduced, but this takes place before contact with the
- the plastic melt and wood particles are preferably brought together by preheating the wood particles, so that the flowability of the melt is not significantly reduced by a transfer of heat to the wood particles.
- Wood particles and plastic melt are preferably brought together in a planetary roller extruder or in a planetary roller section of an extruder.
- the planetary rollers consist of a central central spindle, rotating planetary spindles and an internally toothed housing.
- the planetary spindles mesh simultaneously with the central spindle and the internally toothed housing.
- the wood particles that get between the teeth of the planetary spindles are particularly intimately mixed with the plastic melt and pressed at the same time.
- the wood particles can only be preheated in the extruder. It is advantageous to preheat the wood particles before they are fed into the extruder, because conventional preheating devices only cost a fraction of the cost of an extruder
- the exit temperature of the mixture from the extruder is preferably chosen so that the emerging extruded strand has sufficient rigidity, for example, to be able to cool down on a roller conveyor with rollers arranged close together, without causing disadvantageous deformations.
- higher outlet temperatures can also be controlled by calibrating directly behind the extrusion nozzle. The calibration corresponds to the dimensions of its passage opening
- the contact surfaces of the calibration with the extrusion strand are cooled, so that the extrusion strand solidifies on the outer edge and is therefore resistant to the roller table.
- the calibration is very similar to the extrusion die.
- the extrusion die also has an opening with a cross section that corresponds to the cross section of the desired extrusion strand.
- the nozzle also preferably has cooling. Insofar as this cooling is sufficient to make the emerging extrusion strand roller table-proof, one is
- Chipboard production involves wetting the wood particles with the adhesive and then pressing them. Extrusion of the chips does not occur in particle board production. It is typical to mix the chips with the adhesive in a kneader.
- the known method not only takes more effort into account, but kneading the liquid melt also leads to a higher proportion of plastic.
- EP 1262293 A1 also includes a proposal for mixing wood chips and plastic.
- the chips should have a width of 0.5 to 20 mm, a thickness of 0.5 to 2.5 mm and a length of 1 to 50 mm.
- a jet of liquid plastic is generated and the wood chips are sprinkled into the jet and a layer of material is created on a belt underneath, which is then pressed.
- An extruder is only provided to liquefy the plastic.
- This known proposal does not go beyond the known proposal explained above. This also applies insofar as the wetting of fibers with plastic has been addressed in the proposal.
- US-PS 5653534 shows a method for reinforcing plastic with fibers.
- the plastic is brought into a molten form.
- the fibers are then metered in.
- the resulting product has essentially the same appearance as plastic without a reinforcement insert. According to PCT / EP2007 / 9140, however, a wood substitute with the appearance of a wooden surface should be created.
- a high temperature of the melt is favorable. The higher the melt temperature, the higher the flowability of the melt and the better the melt can do before
- Melt temperature depends on the material. At the melt temperature, a safety margin is preferably maintained from the temperature at which the melt enters one
- the safety distance is optionally at least 5%, even more preferably at least 10% and most preferably at least 15% of the temperature at which a transition to the gaseous state or a chemical reaction occurs.
- melt temperature is limited by the nature of the wood particles. Depending on the nature, the wood particles tend to discolour at higher temperatures.
- processing temperatures for the melt. Whether the processing area can be fully or partially used depends on the wood particles used and the temperature of the wood particles. At the higher temperatures, highly fluid plastic is created. This means that this plasticization involves strong liquefaction.
- Plastic is preferably used, which is recycled at most once. The more often the material is recycled, the worse the flowability becomes with some plastics. Or plastic is used, which consists of a mixture of fresh material with recycled material and has at least the same flowability as a material that has not been recycled more than once overall.
- Fresh plastic, non-recycled material is even more preferred.
- the plastic is plasticized together with aggregates or the aggregates are mixed with the plastic after the plasticization before the
- additives preferably include dyes and adhesion promoters and water repellents.
- the wood particles are preferably used in the form of chips, for example in the form of sawdust.
- Sawdust is produced in large quantities when processing wood. At the same time, the dimensions of sawdust are within certain limits.
- compressed air is usually generated using fans that draw air in on one side and force the air into a transport line on the other side.
- the compressed air must be separated from the wood particles again. This is done using suitable filters. In practice, however, the filters cannot separate every dust particle from the compressed air. Particulate matter enters the environment to a greater or lesser extent. According to the PCT / EP2007 / 9140 the
- Particulate matter emissions can be reduced. Therefore, it is preferred to transport the
- Wood particles suction air used At the destination of the suction air transport, the wood particles are separated from the suction air with filters, as in the case of compressed air transport.
- the plasticization of the plastic can take place in various facilities. Batch liquefaction is conceivable.
