Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an extrusion press for producing extruded products with the features in the preamble of the method and device main claim.
  • Conventional extrusion presses have extrusion presses that consist of an extruder, a downstream channel-like heating section and a subsequent cooling section and optionally a saw arranged at the end, which divides the strand by cross-sections into block-like individual pieces.
  • Conventional heating systems have heated with oil or another medium and at least partly.
  • the setting process takes a relatively long time, which brings a correspondingly large length of the heating passages and also the subsequent Auskühlumble with it.
  • the energy consumption is high.
  • a drying of the vegetable small parts in particular a targeted drying with the claimed degree of drying and / or with a wire or belt dryer has various advantages.
  • the finished and set product, for example, the separated from the strand blocks are relatively insensitive to moisture and can have a significant residual moisture, eg up to 30% atro.
  • Drying of small parts to a moisture content of approx. 6 - 18% at the outlet of the Drying is therefore economical and cost effective.
  • the drying can also be extended to a lower degree of moisture, for example 2% atro or a higher degree of moisture up to about 20% atro or more, if required.
  • the small parts can be transported during transport with dry air and with a limited temperature level of e.g. up to about 120 ° Celsius, are applied, resulting in a particularly uniform, fast and economical drying.
  • the drying can take place in a continuous process, which is favorable in terms of production technology and, if necessary, ensures high output.
  • the drying process can also be interrupted. Due to the mentioned degree of humidity, the small parts can be temporarily stored after drying in a silo or another container and further processed at a later time. The resumption of water and moisture and a product change are low here.
  • the coarse crushing before drying and fine comminution can be done after drying and before extrusion.
  • a small parts producer such as a sawmill
  • small vegetable parts of a pre-crushing As a result, the surface is increased, which is favorable for the subsequent drying.
  • subsequent comminution can follow, with which a particle size of the small parts suitable for extrusion can be set. At the same time this can be a Homogenization of small parts material can be achieved. Both are favorable for the subsequent gluing and the extrusion process.
  • it is advantageous for energetic reasons to carry out this comminution and the adjustment of the particle size after drying Dried small parts are easier to crush and with less energy and machinery than the wet raw material. Alternatively, this comminution and adjustment can take place before drying.
  • the steam treatment has the further advantage that it allows a faster and more uniform heating of the strand and a faster setting. It is particularly advantageous when working with saturated steam and its condensation in the strand. By changing the state of aggregation, a lot of heat energy can be released quickly and evenly in the strand. It is advantageous to tune the steam quantity and the vapor pressure to the heat absorption capacity of the applied strand area and to dimension such that on the one hand the strand can be completely penetrated in the transverse direction and can set and the amount of steam in the strand substantially completely can condense. As a result, excess steam and a complex and space-consuming steam disposal via reactors or the like. Avoid. In addition, the environmental impact is lower.
  • the steam treatment of the strand is preferably carried out in such a way that the strand subsequently has a high dimensional stability. This means that it shows no or only insignificant deformations after removal of external pressure.
  • the claimed technique it is possible to complete the setting process in the strand by the steam treatment so far that the glue strength is greater than the internal stresses in the strand.
  • the heating section can be kept very short, which leads to a substantial reduction in the overall length of the extruder.
  • the cooling section can connect directly to the outlet of the heating section and to the end of the steam supply or the steam treatment. Due to the optimal energy utilization, the cooling section can be kept shorter than in the prior art, which also brings a considerable reduction in the overall length of the extruder with it.
  • the claimed evaporation technology also provides the necessary operational reliability in the extrusion of small plant parts with a relatively high degree of moisture. Thanks to the vapor deposition, the extrusion channel can have substantially rigid walls, without this leading to damage in the strand.
  • the small parts moisture can be heated and shared via the steam and energy supply for the setting process.
  • the shape stability of the strand achieved at the end of the vaporization makes its further treatment and in particular the passage through the cooling section unproblematic.
  • a high moisture content of small parts can lead to cracks and delamination in the strand. Although this can be prevented by additional measures and is insofar practicable.
  • the preferred vapor deposition technique offers further advantages.
  • the steam quantity control also has the advantage that it provides for clear and reproducible process conditions and for a secure setting of the binder in the strand. On the other hand, excess steam is largely avoided, which leads to a significant reduction in construction and operating costs.
  • Degassing generators and vapor recirculation are dispensable.
  • the preferably saturated process steam is also optimally utilized. It condenses in a controllable strand area, whereby the heat required for setting is released in an optimal way and with uniform distribution via the phase or aggregate change. Also favorable is the fact that it is possible to work with relatively low quantities of steam and thus cost-effectively.
  • the capacity of the vaporization system can also be designed smaller and cheaper.
  • the vapor deposition is carried out in the outlet region of the recipient and / or in the subsequent section of the heating channel.
  • the strand usually has the highest compression, so that the heat introduced by the steam can be optimally used for the setting. It is also favorable if fixed or rigid channel walls are present in the vaporization area and if strand formation takes place in the vaporization area.
  • the setting process is significantly improved and accelerated by targeted evaporation, whereby the heating channel designed shorter and the overall length of the entire extruder can be significantly reduced. This leads to a higher economic efficiency.
  • the steam may e.g. be fed continuously or intermittently with the strand stranded. In both cases, a steam quantity control is advantageous.
  • the drive can be reversing and have a ram. This has the advantage that the press ram seals the strand end gas-tight and limits the steam expansion zone to the rear. Alternatively, continuous extrusion, e.g. with a snail, also possible.
  • the mecanical feed region of the steam is limited in the strand and extends in particular over a strand feed length of one to two extrusion strokes.

  • the setting process in the strand (2) is completed so far that the strand has reached its dimensional stability. This means that the strand (2) shows no or substantially no deformation when taking away an external pressure and an external guide.
  • the volume of porous material is capable of accommodating the volume of vapor because upon contact with the colder chip material offering a very large contact surface of the chips, the condensation process begins immediately and the vapor volume collapses before the mixture leaves the squeeze channel section closed on all sides and the vapor pressure cracks could cause in the product strand.
  • the condensate is homogeneously distributed in the material volume.
  • the cured product is no different from products recognizable without steaming.
  • the steam quantity control is in the embodiment of FIG. 3 provided with a mecanical dipfung (26) from the press mandrel (29) in the contact area with the strand (2), wherein the steam from the outlet openings (28) and possibly the distribution channels directly into the strand (2) penetrates.
  • the steam quantity control can also be combined with an external vapor deposition (25) of the strand (2) in the region at the recipient (16) and / or subsequent region of the heating channel (17).
  • the steam quantity control can also be used in conjunction with a combined internal and external vapor deposition (25, 26) of the strand (2).
  • the steam supply (24) is located at the rear end of the heating channel (17) behind the recipient (16) in the pressing direction (9).
  • the heating channel (17) in both variants rigid and fixedly arranged channel walls (18) surrounding the strand (2) circumferentially tight and form in its outer contour , where in the region of the channel may possibly have a slight conical or stepped extension.
  • the heating channel (17) at least one limited movable channel wall (19), which is arranged for example at the top.
  • the mobility may be in a pivotal movement, wherein the front end of the channel wall (19) is obtained in the manner of a hinge on the subsequent fixed wall portion and the rear end can pivot up and down.
  • an adjusting device (20) is present, which has a suitable controllable drive, for example a hydraulic cylinder.
  • the movable channel wall (19) and the adjusting device (20) may be omitted in favor of continuous solid channel walls (18).
  • the movable channel wall (19) can be held and locked in the extrusion operation with such a force that it does not evade under normal operating conditions and evades only when an abnormal overpressure occurs in the hollow channel interior.
  • the movable channel wall (19) can be used as a strand brake in order to produce the counter-pressure required to achieve the strand compaction with respect to the feed force of the pressing member (8).
  • the movable channel wall (19) of the adjusting device (20) with controlled force and possibly a controlled path to the strand (2) is pressed and brakes it by frictional force. This braking effect is present only over a portion of the extrusion stroke until the required compression is achieved and the strand (2) can then be advanced along the entire length. In this period, the channel wall (19) is released and canceled the braking effect.
  • FIG. 2 shows the subsequent to the heating section (12) Ausksselumble (13).
  • This is also formed like a tube or channel and consists of at least one cooling channel (30) in FIGS. 9 and 10 is shown.
  • modularly formed cooling channels (30) can according to FIG. 2 behind each other be arranged and form a Auskühlrange (13) with the desired length.
  • the module or channel length can be for example about 3 m, so that, for example, by two or three modules, a distance of 6 m or 9 m can be achieved.
  • the cooling channel (30) can be formed by rigid and stationary channel walls (31) and by movable channel walls (32) or wall sections, which are possibly spaced at the adjacent longitudinal edges to form free spaces.
  • the movable channel walls (32) are connected to one or more adjusting devices (33) which can be controlled controlled for advancing and lifting the movable channel walls (32) from the strand (2).
  • the parts are arranged and mounted together on a machine frame (10) possibly connected to the extrusion press (5).
  • the actuators (33) have a suitable drive, e.g. Hydraulic cylinder, which are connected to the aforementioned control of the extruder (5).
  • the adjusting devices (33) are actuated in the extrusion cycle.
  • the movable channel walls (32) are turned on and clamp the strand (2). Once the desired compaction is achieved, open the movable channel walls (32) and release the strand feed. During the return stroke of the extrusion process (8), the strand (2) can be held again.
  • the channel walls (31,32) can absorb the thermal energy contained in the strand (2) by heat conduction and release by convection to the environment. Furthermore, active cooling of the channel walls (31, 32) with water or other suitable media is possible. The distances or free spaces between the channel walls (31,32) allow evaporation of excess moisture from the strand (2).
  • the extrusion press (1) includes the described drying device (3), the shredders (52, 53) and the extruder (4). These components each have independent inventive significance.
  • the drying device (3) and in particular the belt dryer (34) shown can alternatively be used in conjunction with a differently configured extrusion press (4), which, for example, according to W02002 / 034489 A1 is trained.
  • the extruder device (4) and in particular the extruder (5) with the described evaporation technique to achieve a dimensionally stable strand (2) after the evaporation can on the other hand be used in conjunction with another drying device (3) or without such a drying device (3).
  • another drying device (3) for example, it is possible to process small vegetable parts with a natural moisture content incurred in woodworking, such as wood chips, wood shavings or the like. Such small parts are not dried again separately, but can be fed directly to the extrusion process after mixing with binder.
  • the extrusion and steaming technique described can also be used with vegetable small parts, which have a lower moisture content.
  • the pressing member (8) may for example be a worm and also provide for a continuous feed.
  • the design of the vapor deposition device (21) and its components is also freely changeable.
  • the targeted and localized steam escape at the press mandrel (29) can also be achieved with a different structural design.
