Definitions

  • the invention is directed to an apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1 for the production of nonwovens using at least one carding machine de ⁇ signed for high conveying speeds of the fiber webs, and a method for the production of nonwovens accord ⁇ ing to the preamble of claim 10.
  • Apparatuses of the above type are used to produce nonwovens.
  • the conveyor belts are air-permeable, and that, at the transition regions between the carding ma ⁇ chines and the conveyor belts, an underground suc ⁇ tion force is applied using a suction means arranged at the conveyor belts.
  • the suction is set to be just sufficient to remove the air film generated between the nonwoven and the conveyor belt at high transport speeds while, on the other hand, the nonwoven will not be sucked too firmly against the conveyor belt. Due to the removal of the air film, no disturbances of the appearance of the nonwoven will occur, not even at speeds of the nonwoven above 150 to 200 m/min.
  • the speed of the nonwoven can be as high as 400 m/min. or more.
  • the solution according to the invention offers the considerable advantage invention that the nonwoven is subjected to a relatively small draft. This is favorable especially in case of high speeds of the nonwoven because already a relatively small precent- age draft can result in high absolute draft values, which can cause disturbances of the structure of the nonwoven.
  • a take-off roller transfers a doubled non ⁇ woven onto the conveyor belt.
  • a doubled nonwoven has better cohesion and thus is better suited for high speeds. Because a doubled nonwoven is transferred to the conveyor belt by a sole roller, the number of transition regions is reduced. Further, doubling the nonwoven within the carding machine provides the advantage that no further intermediate conveyor belts are required, so that the overall expenditure for machinery can be reduced.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is particu ⁇ larly useful for the processing of staple fibers, i.e. polyester, polyethylene or polypropylene fibers.
  • the suction means can exert the suction effect on the conveyor belt in sections. Thus, it is made pos ⁇ sible that selected portions of the conveyor belt are sucked at different intensities, depending on their current position and their .distance from the transition region between the carding machine and the conveyor belt. This is facilitated also because, after the generation of an air film at the transi ⁇ tion region between the carding machines and the conveyor belt has been prevented, only a relatively small suction force is required from then on.
  • suction boxes are arranged below the conveyor belt, extending, on the one hand, over the desired width of the nonwoven and, on the other hand, at least over part of the conveyor belt in the longitudinal direction. Limiting the suction to the desired width of the nonwoven offers the advantage that a sharp, linear end edge of the nonwoven will be generated, without any control or guide means being required on the upper side of the conveyor belt.
  • the conveyor belts can have a structured surface on the side facing towards the nonwoven.
  • the vacuum generated by the suction means can be controllable in a variable manner. Thus, it is pos ⁇ sible to adapt the underground suction to the cur ⁇ rent production speed and/or the type of the fibers being processed, or to other process parameters.
  • the carding machine used comprises a main cylinder, at least two web-forming rollers en ⁇ gaging the main cylinder and each taking off a re ⁇ spective fiber web from the main cylinder, a doffing means arranged downstream of the .web-forming roll ⁇ ers, and a take-off means from which the nonwoven is transferred to the conveyor belt.
  • a com ⁇ mon roller arranged upstream of the take-off means, the at least two fiber webs taken off the main cyl ⁇ inder by the web-forming rollers, are doubled into a nonwoven which is laid as a formed web onto the con ⁇ veyor bel .
  • a carding machine of the above type makes it possi ⁇ ble to perform doubling and simultaneous crosslink- ing of the fiber webs already within the carding machine after the web-forming rollers and before the take-off means.
  • a further advantage resides in that, behind the doffing roller, only a sole take-off means and a sole conveyor belt are required.
  • a sole doffing roller is arranged in engagement with two web-forming rollers, that the doffing roller takes over a respective fi ⁇ ber web from each of the two web-forming rollers and doubles the fiber webs. Doubling is carried out immediately behind the web-forming rollers so that only one doffing roller is required.
  • Fig. 1 is a side view of the apparatus for the pro ⁇ duction of nonwovens
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of the apparatus according to Fig. 1, and
  • Fig. 3 is a detailed side view of a preferred card ⁇ ing machine.
  • the apparatus for the production of nonwovens 1 ac ⁇ cording to the embodiments illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 comprises two carding machines 2 with a re ⁇ spective feed means 3, the carding machines 2 laying the respective generated nonwoven 1 onto a common conveyor belt 4.
  • the conveyor belt 4 is provided as an endless belt and is permeable to air to be sub ⁇ jected to a suction force from below.
  • Behind the second carding machine 2 the repeatedly doubled nonwoven 1 is running into a following processing unit 14, e.g. a thermobonding means.
  • the apparatus for the production of nonwovens 1 can be provided with one carding machine 2 only or with more than two carding machines 2.
  • the carding machines used can be high-speed carding machines with production speeds above 150 m/min., preferably above 200 m/min.
  • the first carding machine 2 in the running direction of conveyor belt 4 will lay a first nonwoven 1 onto the conveyor belt 4, notably in the transition region 6 between the carding machine 2 and the conveyor belt 4.
  • a suction means 8, consisting of a plurality of suction boxes 10 distributed along the length of conveyor belt 4, is provided to subject the transition region 6 to a suction force by means of a first suction box 10.
  • This underground suction at the transition region 6 precludes the formation of any air film between the nonwoven 1 and the conveyor belt 4, which air film, in case of high production speeds, would at least disturbe the uniform appearance of nonwoven 1 or even cause complete destruction of nonwoven 1.
  • the suction box 10 located at transition region 6 can be provided with a partition wall 11 so that the suction force acting on conveyor belt 4 is increased in the transition region 6.
  • This partition wall 11 can also be arranged to be pivoted and/or displaced in suction box 10, so that the vacuum force and the area exposed to suction can be variably controlled in an easy manner.
  • the transition region 6 can be provided with a separate suction box 10.
  • the position of partition wall 11 shown in Fig. 3 will automatically cause a weaker suction force act ⁇ ing on conveyor belt 4 behind transition region 6.
  • Another possibility for adjustment in the transition region 6 resides in shifting a slider, extending in parallel to conveyor belt 4 and being adjustable in running direction, for variably setting the sucked area under the conveyor belt.
  • suction capacity of the suction boxes 10 can be variably controlled in dependence on the production speed and the type of fibers. Control can be carried out by a central processing unit. In each case, the suction is set such that the generation of an air film is prevented particularly in the transition regions 6, without sucking the nonwoven 1 onto the - if required, structured - surface of the conveyor belt 4 at an excessive force.
  • the second carding machine 2 in the running direc ⁇ tion of conveyor belt 4 will produce a second non ⁇ woven 1 which, at the second transition region 6 in the running direction of the belt, is laid onto the first nonwoven 1 produced by the first carding ma ⁇ chine 2, thus doubling the nonwoven 1.
  • the suction box 10 arranged at this second transition region 6 can be operated at a higher vacuum for compensating the pressure loss due to the first nonwoven 1.
  • the carding machine used is of the type described in DE 43 44 226 A.
  • the carding machine schematically shown in Fig. 1 comprises a main cyl ⁇ inder 20 arranged in engagement with two randomizing rollers 22 which in turn engage a doffing roller 24 and will double respectively two fiber webs 50,52 on doffing roller 24.
  • the doubled fiber web will then be transferred from doffing roller 24 to two con ⁇ densing rollers 26 and, from these, to two successive- sive take-off rollers 28.
  • the nonwoven 1 is laid onto conveyor belt 4 at transition region 6. In this regard, it is essential that the doubled nonwoven 1 is transferred onto conveyor belt 4 by a sole take-off roller 29.
  • Fig. 3 shows a preferred embodiment of a non-woven carding machine provided with an intake means 30 consisting of an intake trough 32 and an intake roller 34.
  • the subsequent licker-in device 36 comprises a lick- er-in roller 38 and a licker-in tambour 40.
  • the licker-in tambour 40 is provided with two worker and stripper pairs 42.
  • This arrangement is followed by a transfer roller 44 for transferring the supplied fiber web 46 to main cylinder 20.
  • Main cylinder 20 is provided with six worker and stripper pairs 48. Behind the worker and stripper pairs when viewed in the direction of rotation, two web-forming randomizing rollers 22,23 engage main cylinder 20 successively in the direction of rota ⁇ tion, each of them taking off one fiber web 50,52 from main cylinder 20.
  • a sole doffing roller 24 takes over both fiber webs 50,52 from the randomiz ⁇ ing rollers 22,23 and doubles the webs so that a doubled fiber web 54 is transferred to the sub ⁇ sequent condensing means 26,27 and the take-off means 28,29 arranged behind condensing means 26,27. From take-off means 28,29, the doubled fiber web 54 reaches conveyor belt 4 in the form of a nonwoven 1.
  • the randomizing rollers 22,23 are combined with only one doffing roller 24
  • the randomizing rollers can be arranged in close proximity to each other, thus leaving enough space on the periphery of main cylinder 20 for an additional worker and stripper pair 48.
  • Such an additional worker and stripper pair 48 increases the carding performance.
  • the web-forming rollers 22,23 preferably provided as randomizing rollers, can have different rotation ⁇ al speeds or different diameters whereby the proper ⁇ ties of the to-be-doubled fiber webs 50,52 can be influenced.
  • the main cylinder 20 is preferably larg ⁇ er than the web-forming rollers 22,23.
  • the doffing roller 24 has a larger diameter than the web-forming rollers 22,23.
