Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sleeping bar for the paper industry.
  • the sleeping bar or rod is used in industry paper mill to bring a coating material (or "sauce") generally on cardboard or paper to make a cardboard or paper layer.
  • the sleeping bar consists of a metal rod having a diameter generally between 10 and 20 mm. Bar is generally kept in any support such as that a polymer sheath, also called a bed, in which it can turn.
  • the sleeping bar by turning, constitutes in some so a doctor blade that removes excess coating material or "sauce” on paper, dosing the coating material or obtaining a desired thickness of material on paper, being obtained by varying the pressure for applying the coating bar to the paper and / or varying the speed of rotation.
  • Coated paper is a strong paper added value and in general of very high quality, the paper being obtained in depositing two or three layers of coating material on each side.
  • the machines include four or more sleeping heads. he It follows that intensive use of the coating bars in the manufacturing leads to rapid wear of said bars, said wear being accelerated when using pigmented coating material due to the high abrasion of pigments on the coating bars. The consequence of this rapid wear is that it is necessary to change the sleeping bars from each machine every two days. As currently the machines each includes eight sleeping bars, you can easily measure the economic impact of coating bars on papermaking.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a sleeping bar smooth or grooved, the service life of which has been considerably increased, by at least minus 50%.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a coating bar which is coated with a coating constituted by a mixture of ceramics, said coating having a wetting or wetting angle between 30 ° and 90 ° and a porosity of less than 5%, the size of the pores not exceeding 5 ⁇ m.
  • the The behavior of the coating material may vary from one situation to another. Indeed, it has been found that it is necessary that the surface tension between the transfer cylinder and the coating material had to be higher than the tension existing between said coating material and the coating bar, if we want all or almost all of the coating material contained, for example example, in the hollow of the grooves is transferred. Therefore, if the wettability of the coating of the coating bar is not sufficient, then it produces dry friction between the coating and the coating material; if the wettability is too high, then at least some of the material coating remains on the coating, for example in the bottom of the grooves. In the latter case, the grooves no longer perfectly play their role of dosage since a certain amount of coating material remains trapped in the bottom of the grooves.
  • the angle of coating wettability or wettability is between 30 ° and 90 ° and, preferably between 60 ° and 85 °.
  • the wettability of the coating of the bar is modified coating, by varying certain parameters of said coating, such as the porosity or size of the pores, the structure of the coating, for example at within the network of the ceramic mixture used to constitute said coating.
  • the coating may consist of grains of juxtaposed ceramics, it will be preferable, in some cases, to vary the concentration or molar content of the ceramics used in the mixed.
  • the present invention recommends using in said mixture a main constituent whose molar content is between 40 and 60%.
  • the coating is obtained by spraying onto the coating bar, a powder of agglomerated ceramic grains or of sintered or split agglomerated grains ground with a size of each agglomerate of less than 5 ⁇ m and, preferably, of the order of a micrometer.
  • the particle size of the sprayed powder is less than 80 ⁇ m and preferably between 10 and 45 ⁇ m .
  • the coating thus obtained has a thickness of between 15 and 60 ⁇ m and a porosity of less than 5% with an average pore size of less than 5 ⁇ m .
  • the preferred ceramics according to the invention are chosen from Cr 2 O 3 , MgO, Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , SiO 2 and ZrO 2 .
  • a particular mixture consists of 50% Cr 2 O 3 and 50% MgO.
  • the coating bar is maintained at a temperature below 50 ° C by means of a CO 2 jet for example.
  • the final coating obtained according to the invention has a certain surface roughness which it is necessary to eliminate in large part so as not to alter the surface condition of the finished coating bar.
  • a treatment is applied to the coated coating bar so as to obtain a surface roughness of less than 1 ⁇ m .
  • the surface treatment may for example be wet polishing.
  • Another treatment consists in placing the coating bar in a rubber roller or between two rubber rollers which rotate on the coating bar, the coating bar-rubber roller assembly being immersed in a slip loaded with 50% by volume.
