Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for extracting collagen fibres for use in the textile industry from some products and by-products of the tanning industry, such as pieces of "pelt split” and “fleshings", and in general from other tissue obtained from animal skin.
  • the invention relates to a machine that carries out this process.
  • the tanning step a tissue obtained from animal skin, which is carried out with heavy metal salts, with tannin or other tanning products, changes this tissue into leather or hide, causing it to be manageable in working processes.
  • the skin tissue would maintain the features of a soft biological tissue, that could be easily damaged by temperature, bacteria and chemical compounds and would not be useable by the industry.
  • a first process provides "milling" the tanned products into small fibre-like particles, generally very short, adapted to covering other textile supports by means of gluing, or mixed with resins and then pressed into "non woven fabric".
  • a second type of process provides "Cutting" of the tanned skin into thin strips, then glued in turn with one another, in order to form a continuous thread.
  • This method has, however, the drawback of making thick and heavy threads, not adapted to make light fabrics.
  • a further process provides "recycling" collagen by means of chemical treatment of materials coming from the slaughtering animals (skins, bones, tendons), or from by-products of the tanning industry (pieces of pelt split and fleshings).
  • the long chains of fibres of collagen are broken into molecules of only collagen by means of breaking of the peptidic links with alkali or enzymes.
  • the elementary collagen is then treated with aldehydes and/or salt metal such as chromium, aluminum, zirconium etc., and/or epoxy compounds, and then extruded.
  • the product that is obtained has a low quality and should be considered as an artificial fibre, in particular, of synthetic fibre.
  • Some products and by-products of the tanning industry such as pieces of "pelt split” and “fleshings”, but also in general other waste of tissue obtained from animal skin, are rich of collagen, and then are used to make fibres for textile use.
  • garnet also comprises a drum coated outside with steel pins that rotates carrying the material to unravel against toothed cylinders located on the circumference of the same.
  • the material, hooked by the pins of the drum, is torn at each passage near the toothed cylinders.
  • scrap leather is carded after liming and tanning, and then mixed with dissolved particles and textile fibres or asbestos and eventually spinning.
  • the leather waste comprises pelt, i.e. the softer layer of the skin that is normally discarded.
  • fibres are prepared from collagen coming from tanning residues. It provides the removal of fleshings (subcutaneous connective tissue, fleshing machine offal) from the skin, and a treatment with lime (liming), a possible treatment with acid (pickling) or removing the lime (deliming), possible to use of enzymes, and then the tanning step, with removal of grease before or after tanning.
  • a mechanical disintegration follows in a surplus of water and then unravelling into fibres, partial drying, carding and complete drying, for then proceeding to a spinning into textile fibres with conventional techniques.
  • the skin tissue tends to shrink and to compact, complicating the fibres extraction step, the shrinked and tightened fibres, tied to one another, tend to tear than to shrink further. Therefore, the fibres extracted from already tanned skin tissue, leather or hide, as described in the last cited three documents, even if are faster of the technique that gives the better qualitative results that uses drums, are of less quality for a use in the textile industry.
  • said unravelling step provides the further steps of:
  • said aqueous solution is slightly acidified water, in particular, with formic acid.
  • said tanning step comprises
  • said tanning step comprises furthermore:
  • said tissue obtained from animal skin is selected from the group comprised of:
  • the method as above described gives surprising effects for the fact of extracting the collagen fibres from the skin not yet tanned, i.e. in a status of soft biological and putrescible tissue commonly called "pelt” or “limed pelt” or “pickled pelt” or “fleshings".
  • the skin tissue not yet tanned is like whitish wet and viscid felt of collagen fibres and this typical viscidity has the merit to decrease the sliding friction of the fibres that then can be "carded” without “tearing” them.
  • the tanning step indispensable for giving physical and mechanical characteristics necessary to the textile industry, is carried out after the extraction of the fibres (unravelling step).
  • said step of pretreating a skin tissue provides at least one of the following steps:
  • said step of treating the carded skin tissue provides at least one of the following steps:
  • a fibres extracting apparatus for carrying out the process according to at least one of the above mentioned steps, comprises a unravelling roller having a plurality of pins and an adjustable element adapted to cause said pieces to pass in a forced way against said roller.
  • Such adjustable element can pass gradually from a first position, where a maximum gap for said pieces is left with respect to said roller, to a second position, where a minimum gap for said pieces is left with respect to said roller.
  • said circulation is obtained making a closed loop channel along which at least one of said rollers is arranged, the rotation of said or each roller causing a flow that drags the solution, the pieces and the fibres in suspension along said channel.
  • the apparatus now described owing to its structure and owing to the fact of working with the method according to the invention, carries out a plastic and progressive of the skin in order to decrease at most the number of torn fibres.
  • a machine 150 for extracting collagen fibres from the subcutaneous layer of animal skin comprises a tank 200 in which there are arranged a roller 10a, wheeled about its own axis 11 by a motor 90, and a roller 10b wheeled by means of gears 40a and 40b coaxial to cylinders 10a and 10b, in order to generate a flow 100.
  • each roller 10 is coated outside with metal pins 15 and is immersed for half of its circumference in a housing 30 arranged perpendicularly to the bath flowing path 40.
  • the pins 15 are to locate alternatively, immersed in the housing 30 or contacting any objects present in the bath flowing path, running for the immersion 31 and emersion 32 edges.
  • the pins 15 hook the material 50 present in the bath and bring it towards the immersion line 31.
  • a comb 35 is arranged, inclined with respect to the tangential envelope of roller 10.
  • the comb 35 has teeth 36 that penetrate partially the pins 15 of the roller 10 for blocking the material 50 hooked to them.
  • the rotation of the roller 10 causes this way a movement of material 50 from the emersion edge 32 towards immersion edge 31, generating a circulation 100 of the bath in the tank.
  • the grid 60 comprises distanced parallel rods in order to leave the liquid to pass along small fractions of material already cut into fibres, and causes larger pieces 50 to flow towards roller 10.
  • roller 10 On roller 10 two bars are arranged, one fixed bar 65 and a movable bar 66, which cross all the width of the channel.
  • the rods 65 and 66 with the top part of roller 10, define a bottleneck 80 through which the material 50 is forced to pass. In this bottleneck a compression of the material 50 is created, i.e. a high sliding viscous friction.
  • rod 66 has an end 67 hinged to fixed rod 65 and the other end 68 movable and provided with a comb with thick and sharp teeth.
  • Movable part 66 can then pass, by means of an operating rod 70, from a first position to which a passage gap S1 corresponds (figure 2), when the material 50 to be unravelled is still of large size, to a second position in which the movable part is very close to the pins 15 of roller 10 to which a gap S 2 ⁇ S 1 corresponds for refining progressively the unravelling step (figure 3).
  • a mass of fibres adapted to the spinning is obtained with the following process.
  • a concentrated solution of a tanning product is added: in this case an acid chromium salt, frequently used by the tanning industry, at a 6% weight ratio of the skin originally loaded in the tank.
  • a gentle circulating is kept in the bath for on hour and then it is left still to rest for a night at a temperature kept between 30 and 35 degrees.
  • a gentle circulation is kept for about one hour and finally discharged in a carriage having a thick grid, located on the bottom, dripping the liquid surplus and keeping the fibres.
  • the fibres After dripping the fibres are put in a centrifugal extractor for spin drying them and then brought on a conveyor belt to be dried in warm air without coming to a complete dried condition.
  • the drying step is then completed maintaining the fibres in a chamber with gently circulating warm air for about 24 hours.
  • the mass of fibres is then carded, spinned, woven, dyed and refined with very good results, using common plants of the textile industry.
