Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for mixing binders using at least two components, which are flowed from separate storage containers towards a common mixing point.
  • the storage containers are continuously weighed, and their change of weight per unit of time is determined.
  • the invention concerns a device for implementing the method.
  • the resin and the curing agent When using curing adhesive systems, the resin and the curing agent must be kept in separate containers and should not be mixed until a short time before applying the glue. If the glue line is to be sufficiently strong, the mixing ratio of resin to curing agent has to be precise. This is especially important in the making of load-bearing constructions, such as beams, where a weak glue line may have disastrous consequences.
  • the invention concerns a method for mixing binders using at least two components including a resin and a curing agent, which are flowed from separate storage containers towards a common mixing point.
  • the storage containers are continuously weighed, and their change of weight per unit of time is determined.
  • the flow ratio, and consequently also the actual mixing ratio of the components can be determined on the basis of the change of weight per unit of time of each container.
  • the measured and/or determined values are stored in a form which enables subsequent control of the mixing ratio between the components at a certain point of time.
  • the data may, for instance, be stored in a memory in the control unit, in other machine-readable form, or be printed directly on a paper.
  • the control unit may also permit direct reading of all data on a display.
  • the actual mixing ratio is compared with a set point determined according to the binder system used. If the deviation exceeds a predetermined value, for instance ranging from about 0.5% to about 10% depending on the binder system, an alarm can be given, calling the attention of an operator who can then correct the deviation by altering the flow of one or more of the components, e.g. by changing the speed of one or more of the dosing pumps.
  • the determination of the actual mixing ratio and the comparison with the set point are automatically performed in a control unit, which also makes it possible to allow the control unit to automatically control the flow of one or more of the components on the basis of the measured changes of weight per unit of time of each storage container, thereby substantially maintaining a set point for the mixing ratio of the components. If the components are a resin and a curing agent, it is generally sufficient that the control unit automatically controls the speed of one dosing pump for the curing agent.
  • the storage containers are weighed on scales transmitting signals to the control unit, which can be done e.g. by suspending the containers from preferably electronic load transducers.
  • the load transducers should be able to yield such accurate weighing results that the deviation is at the most about ⁇ 5%, in particular at the most ⁇ about 2%.
  • the method according to the invention is advantageous for all curing binder systems in which two or more components are to be mixed, for instance resorcinol-formaldehyde resin and formaldehyde curing agent, or urea resin and an acid curing agent, such as ammonium chloride.
  • a resin and an acid curing agent such as ammonium chloride.
  • other common additives to binders such as diluents (e.g. water or organic solvents), fillers and plasticisers, can be admixed to the binder in the same way.
  • the components can be brought together and mixed by known methods, e.g. in closed vessels; on a plate, as in SE Patent 418,753; on a roller, as in SE Patent Application 9102874-6; or on the object to be coated with the binder, as in SE Patent 373,525.
  • the invention further concerns a device for implementing the method.
  • This device comprises separate storage containers and dosing pumps for each component, means for continuously weighing each storage container, and means for determining the change of weight of the storage containers per unit of time.
  • the storage containers are suspended from preferably electronic load transducers transmitting signals to a control unit capable of determining the change of weight per unit of time for each storage container.
  • the control unit is adapted to determine the actual mixing ratio of the components, compare this ratio with a set point, and give an alarm if the deviation exceeds a predetermined value.
  • control unit is adapted to automatically control the flow of one or more of the components on the basis of the measured changes of weight per unit of time of the storage container of each component, thereby substantially maintaining a set point for the mixing ratio of the components.
  • the device comprises means for storing the measured and/or determined values in a form enabling subsequent control of the mixing ratio between the components at a certain point of time.
  • the invention there is no need of continuous manual supervision for immediately detecting and adjusting deviations in the mixing ratio of resin to curing agent that may arise owing to alterations of the viscosity, clogging of the equipment, leakage, or quite simply by the emptying of a storage container.
  • it is possible to accurately control the mixing ratio of resin to curing agent, which is a condition for obtaining glue lines of high and uniform quality.
  • the invention also makes it possible to control the total consumption of the binder and thereby optimise this amount.
  • the drawing shows two storage tanks 1, 2 for resin and curing agent, respectively.
  • dosing pumps 6, 7 which lead to a common mixing point (not shown).
  • the tanks 1, 2 are suspended from electronic load transducers 3, 4 which are connected to a control unit 5.
  • the control unit 5 is adapted to control one or both of the dosing pumps 6, 7.
  • the tanks 1, 2 contain liquid resin and liquid curing agent, respectively. Resin and curing agent are pumped to a common mixing point by the dosing pumps 6, 7. A suitable mixing ratio of resin to curing agent, e.g. ranging from about 1:1 to about 1:100 depending on the adhesive system and the degree of dilution, is set on the control unit 5 and then constitutes a set point.
  • the electronic load transducers 3, 4 continuously transmit signals relating to the weight of the tanks 1, 2, to the control unit 5 which, at suitable time intervals, e.g. ranging from about 1 second to 5 minutes, records the weight and compares it with the preceding value, thereby determining the loss of weight of each tank 1, 2 per unit of time.
  • the actual mixing ratio of resin to curing agent is determined.
  • the measured and the determined values of the flow and the mixing ratio of the resin and the curing agent is stored in the control unit 5, and/or transmitted to a printer (not shown), thus enabling subsequent control of the actual mixing ratio at a certain point of time.
  • an alarm is given, calling the attention of an operator who may then check whether there is any serious malfunction, and optionally adjust the speed of e.g. the dosing pump for the curing agent, thereby establishing a suitable mixing ratio once again.
  • one or both of the dosing pumps 6, 7 are automatically controlled by the control unit, so as to maintain at all times a correct mixing ratio. An alarm is given only when the disturbances are so severe that they cannot be offset by adjusting the dosing pumps 6, 7, e.g. if the flow is completely stopped by clogging or if one of the tanks has become empty.
