Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roll cover for a roll, in particular for use in a plant for the production or processing of a fibrous web according to the preamble of claim 1, and a corresponding roll.
  • a large number of rollers are used in industrial plants such as paper machines. These rollers can be used to guide the material web or to influence the surface properties. Another important application of such rollers is the pressing and dewatering of the fibrous web.
  • US Pat. No. 9,488,217 proposes that the grooves and bores be made very wide in relation to their depth. Specifically, it is suggested there that the width between the diameter is at least 70% of the depth or more.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the problems known in the prior art.
  • material web fibrous web and paper web are used synonymously in this application. This should include in particular cellulose webs, webs for graphic paper or packaging paper, cardboard webs, tissue webs and webs of special papers.
  • the object is completely achieved by a roll cover for a roll, in particular for use in a plant for the production or processing of a fibrous web, the roll cover comprising a radially outer functional layer which provides the surface of the roll cover that comes into contact with the web, and the functional layer Has structural elements in particular in the form of grooves and / or holes.
  • the functional layer is composed of an elastomeric material that has a Poisson's ratio of more than 0.4.
  • the elastomeric material has a Poisson's ratio between 0.45 and 0.5, for example 0.47, 0.48 or 0.49.
  • a polyurethane is used as the elastomer material.
  • polyurethanes which contain or are produced from polycarbonates, PPDI (paraphenylene diisocyanates) or TODI (O-tolidine diisocyanates).
  • a rubber material in particular a rubber formulation based on HNBR (hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber) or EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber) can also be used as the elastomer material.
  • HNBR hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber
  • EPDM ethylene propylene diene rubber
  • Poisson's number also called Poisson's ratio, Poisson's ratio or Poisson's ratio
  • Poisson's ratio is a material parameter in mechanics or strength of materials. It is used to calculate the transverse contraction and is one of the elastic constants of a material.
  • the Poisson's ratio is defined as the linearized negative ratio of the relative change in dimension transverse to the uniaxial direction of stress to the relative change in length under the influence of a one-dimensional mechanical stress state:
  • the Poisson's ratio hardly changes over a large temperature range. Significant changes are only to be expected below the glass transition temperature, which is in the range of -20°C for such elastomers, or above 80°C - 100°C. Therefore, a measurement at 20°C is also representative for use at 50°- 60°C.
  • the Poisson's ratio measured in the tensile test is dependent on the tensile speed at which the test is carried out. At low speeds (e.g.: 10 mm/min), relaxation effects also occur and are also recorded, which are not relevant for the very rapid deformation that occurs in practice in the press nip - at speeds greater than 100 mm/min, no significant speed dependency was found.
  • the measured values described were therefore determined with a speed of 125mm/min, a preload of 1N in the range of 1.5 - 2.5% elongation and a measuring length (Lo) of 25mm in the case of the S1 rod and 20mm in the case of the S2 rod. Due to the scatter of the measured values, the median of at least 3, ideally at least 5, individual measurements was used.
  • the material behavior of a roll cover in a treatment gap can be characterized very well by this material index.
  • an elastomer material in particular a polyurethane, with a Poisson's number above 0.4, in particular between 0.45 and 0.5
  • the roll cover has grooves as structural elements, and the ratio of the groove width to the groove depth is less than or equal to 0.7, in particular less than or equal to 0.68, 0.65, 0.6 or 0.5
  • the roll cover has bores as structural elements, and the ratio of the bore diameter to the bore depth is less than or equal to 0.7, in particular less than or equal to 0.68, 0.65, 0.6 or 0.5.
  • the groove width and/or the bore diameter is between 0.7 mm and 1.4 mm, preferably between 0.8 mm and 1.1 mm.
  • the groove depth and/or borehole depth is between 1.8mm and 2.8mm, in particular between 2mm and 2.5mm.
  • a groove width of 1.1mm and a groove depth of 2mm gives a ratio of 0.55.
  • a groove width of 0.8mm and a groove depth of 2.5mm results in a ratio of 0.32.
  • Roll covers according to aspects of the present invention also allow large open areas of up to 40% or 45% to be provided in the roll cover.
  • the open area can be 32%, 33% or 34%.
  • An open area of 33.3% means that with a groove width of 1mm, the lands between the grooves have a width of 2mm. With roll covers that have both grooves and holes, even larger open areas are possible. Here 33% to 40% is very common. Due to these structural elements, which are rather deep in comparison to the width or the diameter, sufficient storage volume can be made available and nevertheless sufficient hydraulic pressure can be built up in the treatment gap. In particularly advantageous embodiments, a soft roller cover can be provided.
  • the hardness of the functional layer is over 10 P&J, in particular between 15 P&J and 50 P&J. Hardness values of 20 P&J, 25 P&J, 30 P&J or 35 P&J are common. Hardening of this type can be achieved very easily specifically with polyurethanes, in particular with polyurethanes which contain or are produced from polycarbonates, PPDI (paraphenylene diisocyanates) or TODI (O-tolidine diisocyanates).
  • P & J refers to the measurement according to Pusey & Jones. In this measurement, softer materials have higher P & J values.
  • the statement that a roller cover has a hardness of more than 10 P&J means that the cover should be softer than 10 P&J.
  • the rolls, and in particular the roll covers are exposed to very harsh conditions when they are used, e.g. in a paper machine.
  • Mechanical influences such as the pressure in a nip and also friction, but also the chemical influence of the various process waters and process chemicals lead to constant wear of the roll cover.
  • a certain ratio e.g. width/depth ⁇ 0.7 or ⁇ 0.6
  • this wear is disruptive. For example, if % of the thickness of the cover is removed due to wear, while the width of the structure remains the same, the width/depth ratio increases by 1/3. As a result, there is a risk that the width/depth ratio is no longer in the desired range.
  • the use of the rollers can also change the properties of the material of the roller covers.
  • the material or the roller surface may harden or soften, for example.
  • the material properties can change to a greater or lesser extent as a result of hydrolysis.
  • the products that can provide constant dewatering performance show consistency over a wide range of media.
  • module 10 The so-called “module 10” value has proven to be suitable for assessing this resistance. This value describes the stress value of the elastomeric material at 10% elongation.
  • the “Module 10" value is measured in a tensile test on S1 or S2 rods according to DIN 53504. Suitable test devices are available from Zwick, for example.
  • the modulus 10 value is measured before and after storage in water at 110° C. for 96 hours. (To achieve this temperature, the water is under suitable pressure). Unless otherwise stated, the measurement is taken using the S2 rod.
  • the elastomers especially the polyurethanes, lose a certain amount of tension during this storage, usually due to hydrolysis processes.
  • Standard polyurethanes can show a loss of tension of more than 40%, sometimes up to 50% of the value before hydrolysis.
  • the modulus 10 value should only change by 20% or less when stored in water at 110° C. for 96 hours. Materials in which the change is at most 10% are particularly preferred.
  • polyurethanes As an elastomer for a roll cover according to one aspect of the invention, there is a wide range of possible materials for possible polyurethanes (PU) as an elastomer for a roll cover according to one aspect of the invention.
  • polyols for PU production for example: polyethers with a molecular weight of 250-3000 g/mol, polybutadienes with 250-3000 g/mol or polycarbonates with 250-3000 g/mol can be used.
  • Both aromatic and aliphatic diisocyanates are suitable as diisocyanates for PU production, e.g. diphenylmethane diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate or hexamethylene diisocyanate.
  • Diamines such as MCDEA or MOCA and short-chain diols such as 1,4-butanediol or trifunctional products such as trimethylolpropane are suitable as chain extenders or crosslinkers.
  • a roller for a plant for producing or processing a fibrous web comprising an essentially cylindrical roller core and a roller cover applied thereto, the roller cover being designed according to one aspect of the invention.
  • the examples give some examples of elastomers suitable for use in a roll cover according to one aspect of the invention. These are different polyurethanes. The invention is not limited to these example formulations.
  • the first PU_PC is a PU based on a polycarbonate polyol with an MDI as the isocyanate.
  • the other three PUs (TODI 1, 2 and 3) each use TODI as the isocyanate and the same crosslinker, but differ in the polyol used.
  • the following table shows the measured modulus 10 values before and after storage and compared with a standard PU.
  • the Poisson's ratio is between 0.45 and 0.5
  • the use of polycarbonate polyols is advantageous for module 10 resistance. Instead of a loss of almost 50% with the standard PU, the loss with PU PC is well below 20%. It is also clear that the samples using TODI as the isocyanate show excellent results almost independently of the polyol used. The loss is less than 10% in each case.
