Definitions
- the present invention concerns a method for manufacturing a multilayered web product, including at least one fibre layer formed by airforming in combination with at least one additional layer in the form of a plastic film, at which the fibre layer is formed and fixed, preferably by a heat fixing, and at which the plastic film is extruded directly upon or in immediate association to the previously formed and fixed fibre layer.
- the invention also concerns an apparatus for manufacturing a multilayered web product, including at least one fibre layer formed by airforming in combination with at least one additional layer in the form of a plastic film, and where an airforming unit includes a former wire on which the fibre layer is formed, the apparatus including fixing means, preferably for thermal fixing of the fibre layer, and at least one extruder for extruding a plastic film directly upon or in immediate association to the fixed fibre web.
- a multilayered web product that includes at least one fibre layer which is formed by airforming combined with at least one additional layer in the form of a plastic film.
- the fibre web is formed on a former wire or several succeeding former wires.
- the manufacture may occur by using carding units or former heads.
- the plastic film is primarily selected as a transparent polyethylene film, and the combining of the two layers is performed in a calendar with heating to a temperature above the plasticizing temperature, so that the plastic film is joined to the fibre layer thereby. By the calendaring it becomes possible to provide compression and fixation of the fibres.
- Such multilayered web products are used for making a plurality of end products where a core with absorbing properties and a liquid impermeable back side layer are desired.
- a product with a perforated front side layer layer that allows liquid passage into the core, but where the exudation of liquid is prevented.
- Such products with double-sided, film-coated fibre layer are more difficult to make than the unilaterally film-coated products
- the process is disadvantageous in being based on the joining of previously formed films that are unrolled from rolled-up reels. This is a slow and expensive process as large amounts of energy are to be added for joining the layers in the multi-layered product.
- An apparatus according to the invention is peculiar in that it includes a compacting unit for squeezing the plastic film and the fibre web.
- the compacting rollers are used, preferably having such a temperature that cooling of the product is effected.
- the attachment between fibre layer and film is established in a secure way due to uneven surface in the fibre layer. This entails that the plasticized and entirely or partially fluid plastic from the extruder is pressed down into the irregularities in the surface of the fibre layer.
- the method is peculiar in that the extrusion is performed by a film being extruded out on the surface of a roller forming part of the compacting unit.
- This roller will have a temperature which is lower than the temperature of the plastic, so that cooling of the plastic layer occurs.
- the roller temperature will preferably be between 50 and 75°C in order to provide cooling of the plastic film which can have extrusion temperatures between 180 and 250 0 C.
- the method is peculiar in that the compacting of the plastic film and the fibre layer is performed between compacting rollers that exert a pressure between 1 and 60 N/rnm. This provides sufficient force so as to ensure efficient attachment between the fibre layer and the film.
- the compacting unit includes two squeezing rollers that squeeze the web product in a nip between the rollers.
- One of these squeeze rollers may be the roller upon which the film is extruded in order to be provided in immediate association to the fibre layer.
- the method is peculiar in that the plastic film is a coloured plastic film, enabling satisfaction of a long-time user wish and at the same time providing possibility of an efficient and energy saving production.
- the method is peculiar in that a plastic film is extruded on each side of the airformed fibre layer. It is thus possible in an inline process to extrude a film layer on both sides of the fibre layer in one and the same procedure.
- various materials can be used, e.g. PE at one side and PP at the other side.
- An apparatus according to the invention will thus be designed with an extruder at each side of the fibre web for extruding a plastic film on both sides of the fibre web.
- one side can be perforated in order to create liquid permeability, but simultaneously the ability of retaining liquid before performing extrusion of a plastic layer on the other side for establishing a liquid impervious layer.
- the method is peculiar in that at least the airformed fibre layer is made up of cellulose fibres containing latex and/or secondary component fibres for fixing the fibre layer.
- the fibre layer may thus be bonded by latex bonding or by bonding with secondary component fibres, or a combination thereof, depending on whether the fibre layer can be passed through an oven for activating fibres/latex.
- the fibre layer can be made with SAP or SAF, if this is desired with regard to desired properties in the end product.
- the method is peculiar in that the plastic film is made of PP, PE, PES, PLA or corresponding plastic materials.
- the plastic film is made of PP, PE, PES, PLA or corresponding plastic materials.
- the method is peculiar in that the web product is formed by an inline process. There is thus established a rapid and efficient process without any need for rolling up, and where at the same time it is possible to utilise the heat in the extruded plastic for establishing attachment between the fibre layer and the film.
- Fig. 1 shows schematic draft of a first embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention for use in making a multilayered web product with film applied on one side of a fibre layer;
- Fig. 2 shows schematic draft of a second embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention for use in making a multilayered web product with film applied on both sides of a fibre layer.
- Fig. 1 shows an apparatus for forming a multilayered web product 1.
- the apparatus comprises an airforming unit 2 having a former head 3 which is disposed opposite a suction box 4 with a former wire 5 moving there between and upon which a fibre layer 6 is formed.
- the fibre layer 6 may contain latex or secondary component fibres.
- An arrow 7 indicates the direction of movement of the former wire 5.
- a heating oven 8 is provided for heating and fixing the fibre layer.
- the former wire acts as transport wire for conveying the fibre layer through the heating oven and the subsequent part of the process.
- the fibre web can be transferred to a conveyor wire.
- a compacting unit 9 having a first roller 10 and a second second roller 11.
- An extruder 12 is provided for extruding a plastic film 13 out on the second roller 11, which may be termed a cooling roller, as it typically has a temperature between 50 and 75°C for providing cooling of the plastic film that may have extruding temperatures between 180 and 250 0 C.
- a nip 14 is formed for compacting the plastic film 13 and the fibre layer 6 at a pressure between 1 and 60 N/mm.
- a rolling-up unit 15 is disposed after the second roller 11 for rolling up the multilayered product 1 with regard to subsequent handling.
- the multilayered product 1 may be conveyed directly to a processing unit.
- Fig. 2 appears an apparatus corresponding to the one shown in Fig. 1, but where after the second roller 11 of the compacting unit 9 there is provided a perforating unit 16 that may perform perforation of the formed plastic film 13. Then is provided a second compacting unit 17 having a first roller 18 and a second roller 19.
- a second extruder 20 is provided for extruding a second plastic film 21 out on the second roller 19, which also can be called a cooling roller, as it typically has a temperature between 50 and 75°C for providing cooling of the plastic film 21 that may have extruding temperatures between 180 and 250°C. As it appears, the second plastic film 21 will be disposed at the opposite side of the fibre layer 6 relative to the plastic film 13.
- a nip 22 is formed for compacting the plastic films 13, 21 and the fibre layer 6 at a pressure between 1 and 60 N/mm.
- a rolling-up unit 23 is disposed after the second roller 19 for rolling up the multilayered product 1 with regard to subsequent handling.
- the multilayered product 1 may be conveyed directly to a processing unit.
- the products that may be formed may e.g. be intended for the meat pack market and consist of two layers with film at one side and a fibre layer formed of airformed absorbing fibres.
- This airformed fibre layer may include bicomponent fibres, monocomponent fibres, cellulose fibres or possible combinations thereof.
- monitoring means may monitor operational conditions and use the results of such monitoring for automatic control of e.g. the layer forming units.
- control and monitoring systems will, however, be possible to design for the skilled in the art in light of the present description of the invention.
