Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Zweischicht-Vorhangstreichmaschine, die eine Oberfläche einer laufenden Papier-, Karton- oder anderen Faserstoffbahn mit einem aus einer ersten Streichmasse bestehenden ersten Streichmassenvorhang und einem aus einer zweiten Streichmasse bestehenden zweiten Streichmassenvorhang bestehenden Zweischicht-Streichmassenvorhang versieht und die die erste Streichmasse und die zweite Streichmasse in zwei übereinander gelegten Schichten auf die Oberfläche der Faserstoffbahn aufbringt.The present invention relates to a two-layer curtain coater which provides a surface of a running paper, board or other fibrous web with a first coating composition consisting of a first coating slurry and a second coating composition consisting of a second coating slurry curtain two-coat coating slurry curtain and the first coating composition and applying the second coating slip in two superimposed layers to the surface of the fibrous web.
Als Streichmaschine, die auf die Oberfläche einer Papierbahn (Rohpapier) eine erste Streichmasse und eine zweite Streichmasse, die unterschiedliche Eigenschaften haben, in zwei Schichten übereinander streicht, zur Herstellung von wärmeempfindlichem Papier, bei dem auf die Oberfläche einer Papierbahn (Rohpapier) eine wärmeempfindliche Streichmasse als Farbentwicklerschicht und eine Harzstreichmasse als Schutzschicht gestrichen sind, und zur Herstellung von Kunstdruckpapier oder gestrichenem Papier, bei dem auf die Oberfläche einer Papierbahn (Rohpapier) eine Streichmasse zur Grundierung und eine Streichmasse zur Ausrüstung gestrichen sind, ist beispielsweise die in
Bei dieser Zweischicht-Vorhangstreichmaschine A ist über einer transportierten Papierbahn W eine Zwillings-Vorhangdüse N vorgesehen. Mit einer von einem ersten Düsenkopf Nh1 der Vorhangdüse N zugeführten ersten Streichmasse C1 wird ein erster Streichmassenvorhang C1c ausgebildet, und mit einer von einem zweiten Düsenkopf Nh2 der Vorhangdüse N zugeführten zweiten Streichmasse C2 wird ein zweiter Streichmassenvorhang C2c ausgebildet. Eine Oberfläche Ws der Papierbahn W, die, wie in
Da die dem Anmelder bekannte, vorstehend beschriebene herkömmliche Technik keine Technik ist, die in Büchern o. Ä. offengelegt ist, und keinen Bezug zu aus der Literatur bekannten Erfindungen hat, gibt es keine anzugebenden Quellendaten zu dieser herkömmlichen Technik.Since the conventional technique known to the Applicant, described above, is not a technique described in books or the like. and has no relation to inventions known from the literature, there is no source data to be given on this conventional technique.
Um jedoch bei der herkömmlichen Vorhangstreichmaschine eine Verschmutzung der Düse durch Streichmasse zu vermeiden, muss normalerweise die Streichmasse aus der Düse fließen gelassen werden. Um zu verhindern, dass bei einem Stillstand der Streichmasse Luft in die Düse eindringt und ein Teil der Streichmasse trocknet, muss man während des Streichens sowieso und auch während der Streichvorbereitung normalerweise die Streichmasse aus der Düse fließen und einen Streichmassenvorhang sich bilden lassen.However, in order to avoid contamination of the nozzle by coating compound in the conventional curtain coater, it is normally necessary to allow the coating to flow out of the nozzle. In order to prevent air from entering the nozzle at a standstill of the coating composition and drying a portion of the coating composition, it is normally necessary during the coating to pass the coating material out of the nozzle and also during the coating preparation to form a coating slip curtain.
Weiterhin muss bei der herkömmlichen Vorhangstreichmaschine, wenn der Betrieb aus dem Stillstand gestartet werden soll und Streichmasse in der Düse zu fließen beginnt, die Streichmasse so lange fliessen können, bis durch Stabilisierung des Streichmassenstroms sich ein Streichmassenvorhang im stationären Zustand ausbildet. Vor dem Beginn des Streichens muss man Streichmasse aus der Düse fließen lassen.Furthermore, in the conventional curtain coater, when the operation is to be started from a standstill and coating begins to flow in the nozzle, the coating material must be able to flow until stabilization of the coating mass flow, a coating mass curtain is formed in the stationary state. Before the start of the painting you have to let the coating slip out of the nozzle.
Daher wird bei der vorgenannten Zweischicht-Vorhangstreichmaschine A, wie in
Da jedoch der von der Vorhangdüse N zugeführte Zweischicht-Streichmassenvorhang F aus einem ersten Streichmassenvorhang C1c und einem zweiten Streichmassenvorhang C2c besteht, liegt der erhebliche Nachteil vor, dass die erste Streichmasse C1 und die zweite Streichmasse C2 nicht voneinander getrennt aufgefangen werden können.However, since the two-layer coating curtain F supplied from the curtain nozzle N consists of a first coating slurry curtain C1c and a second coating slurry curtain C2c, there is a significant disadvantage that the first coating composition C1 and the second coating composition C2 can not be collected separately from each other.
Da somit die erste Streichmasse C1 und die zweite Streichmasse C2, die während der Streichvorbereitung aus der Vorhangdüse N fließen gelassen worden sind, beim Auffangen miteinander vermischt sind und eine Wiederverwendung schwierig ist, besteht bei der herkömmlichen Zweischicht-Vorhangstreichmaschine A der Nachteil, dass während der Streichvorbereitung sehr viel erste Streichmasse C1 und zweite Streichmasse C2 verbraucht werden.Thus, since the first coating slip C1 and the second coating slip C2, which have been flown out of the curtain nozzle N during the coating preparation, are intermingled upon collection and reuse is difficult, the conventional two-layer curtain coating machine A has the disadvantage that during the course of the prior art Prepare a lot of first coat of paint C1 and second slip C2 to be consumed.

Erfindungsgemäss wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Zweischicht-Vorhangstreichmaschine eine den ersten Streichmassenvorhang ausbildende erste Vorhangdüse und eine den zweiten Streichmassenvorhang ausbildende zweite Vorhangdüse aufweist und die erste Vorhangdüse und die zweite Vorhangdüse in eine Streichvorbereitungsposition (Bereitschaftsposition), in der sie voneinander entfernt sind, und eine Streichausführungsposition (Betriebsposition), in der sie miteinander verbunden sind und frei bewegbar sind, wobei in der Streichvorbereitungsposition die erste Streichmasse und die zweite Streichmasse voneinander getrennt auffangbar sind, indem eine erste Auffangwanne für den ersten Streichmassenvorhang aus der ersten Vorhangdüse und eine zweite Auffangwanne für den zweiten Streichmassenvorhang aus der zweiten Vorhangdüse vorhanden ist und in der Streichausführungsposition sich der Zweischicht-Streichmassenvorhang bestehend aus dem ersten und dem zweiten Streichmassenvorhang ausbildet und in zwei Schichten übereinander auf die Oberfläche der Papierbahn ablegt.According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the two-layer curtain coater has a first curtain nozzle forming the first coating curtain and a second curtain nozzle forming the second coating curtain, and the first curtain nozzle and the second curtain nozzle are in a coating preparation position (standby position) where they are remote from each other, and a carding execution position (operating position) in which they are connected to each other and freely movable, wherein in the coating preparation position, the first coating slip and the second coating slip are collected separately by a first collecting tray for the first coating curtain from the first curtain nozzle and a second collecting tray is present for the second coating mass curtain from the second curtain nozzle and in the coating execution position, the two-layer coating mass curtain consisting of the first and the second coating mass curtain forms and deposits in two layers one above the other on the surface of the paper web.
Da bei der erfindungsgemäßen Zweischicht-Vorhangstreichmaschine während der Streichvorbereitung die erste Vorhangdüse und die zweite Vorhangdüse in eine Streichvorbereitungsposition gebracht werden, in der sie voneinander entfernt sind, der erste Streichmassenvorhang aus der ersten Vorhangdüse mit der ersten Auffangwanne aufgefangen wird, der zweite Streichmassenvorhang aus der zweiten Vorhangdüse mit der zweiten Auffangwanne aufgefangen wird und dadurch die erste Streichmasse und die zweite Streichmasse unvermischt und voneinander getrennt aufgefangen werden, können die aufgefangene erste Streichmasse und die aufgefangene zweite Streichmasse unverändert wiederverwendet werden, sodass ein Streichmassenverlust bei der Streichvorbereitung vermieden werden kann.In the two-layer curtain coating machine according to the invention, during the coating preparation, since the first curtain nozzle and the second curtain nozzle are brought into a coating preparation position where they are apart from each other, the first coating slurry curtain from the first curtain nozzle is caught by the first collection tray, the second coating slurry curtain from the second one Curtain nozzle is collected with the second sump and thereby the first coating slip and the second coating slip unmixed and collected separately, the collected first coating slip and the collected second coating slip can be reused unchanged, so that a coating mass loss can be avoided in the coating preparation.
