BINDER (Z0 FIG. I
In order to prevent the fibers from being damaged, the rotationspeed is generally maintained high enough so that the mass of fibers forms a cylindrically hollow body or fleece lying against the inside of the drum, with the ends of the advancing or mixing arms serving to mix the binder with the fibers. Too slow a rotation speed causes the fibers to tumble and break. The so coated fibers are then formed into mats as discussed in the commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 3,655,098 of Ulrich Schnitzler. The mats are then pressed into rigid boards.
As a rule it is almost impossible to achieve a uniform binder coating over each fiber. Even though it is possible in such devices to mix the binder well with the fibers, many fibers are frequently left wholly or partially uncoated, which causes weaknesses in the finished board. Excessive mixing does little to remedy this situation, and often destroys the fibers.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved apparatus for the'coating of fibers.
Another object is the provision of an improved system which uniformly coats fibers for the production of fiberboard.
A further object is to provide a coating system which overcomes the above-given disadvantages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION These objects are attained according to the present invention in a system wherein the interior of the coating drum is provided with at least one baffle which forms in the flowable fleece in the drum a dead-fluid region. A nozzle in this dead-fluid region injects binder into the flowable fleece being displaced from the inlet to the outlet of the drum by the arms of an arbor which sweep the inner wall of the drum. In this manner a vortex street is formed in back of the baffle, which according to this invention has a tangential length and a radial height which are both substantially greater than the average fiber length.
In accordance with further features of this invention the binder is injected at a rate (volume/unit time) which is between 45 and 55 percent the rate necessary to eliminate separation in back of the baffle. This principle is discussed at pages 9-28 and 9-29 of the Handbook ofFluid Dynamics edited by V. Streeter (McGraw 2 Hill: 1961). In thismanner a vortexstreet is maintained downstream in back of the baffle for best mixing of the binder and the fibers. v
, DESCRIPTION OFTl-IE DRAWING The above, and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will become more readily apparent from the following description, reference being made to the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section partially in diagrammatic form through the apparatus according to this invention;
FIG. 2' is a cross section taken along line IlII of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a view of the detail indicated by arrow III of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a view in the direction of arrow IV of FIG.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 4 another form of this invention; and
FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating the function ing of the present invention. r
- SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 the apparatus comprises basically a cylindrical treatment drum'l formed with an inlet 2 in which fiber from a hopper 21' is fed and formed with an outlet 3 whence the coated fiber leaves. An arbor 4 extending along the axis A of the drum 1 has a plurality of axially staggered and diametrically opposed arms 5 whose ends sweep the interior of the drum as the arbor 4 is rotated about the axis A by a drive 6. This relative rotation, which could also be effected by rotating the drum concurrently with or instead of the arbor 4, forms all of the individual fibers F (FIG. 3) into a flowable fleece 9 lining the inside of the drum 1. Two injectors 7 axially between the arms 5 at the upstream end of the drum 1 are connected through a pipe 18 and a pump 19 to a source 20 of fluid binder.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show how each injector 7 is formed of a generally V-shaped baffle 10 having an apex directed indicating against the direction D of displacement of the arms t and of the fleece 9 and having front surfaces 10a extending radially to the axis A. Located between the flanks of this baffle 10 is a pair of nozzles 8 directed back in the direction D. The baffle has a length T measured tangentially to the drum 1 and a height R measured radially which are both multiples of the average length L of the fibers F. The relationship is maintained. Here R 6L, and T z 5L.
FIG. 6 shows the fleece 9 as if it were planar. Here it can be seen that a dead-fluid region 11 is formed in back of the baffle 10. A pair of vortices 16 are formed from the normally laminar flow 15 and are shed periodically to form a Karman vortex street 17 as discussed on page 9-6 of the above-cited Handbook of Fluid Dynam- An injector 13 as shown in FIG. 5 can be used in place of the injector 7 of FIG. 4. This arrangement is a single piece of metal of triangular section having a pair of sides 10' constituting the baffle and a bore l2terminating in a pair of nozzle orifices 8' opening in a back face 14 of the injector 13 in flow direction D. The sides have like but opposite inclinations, here 25, to the direction D.
EXAMPLE Fibers having a length between 1 mm and 5 mm, a width between 0.5 mm and 2 mm, and a thickness between 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm are used in fine fiberboard, the average length (L) being 3 mm. In coarser fiberboard the chips have a length between 3 mm and mm, a width between 2 mm and 8 mm, and a thickness between 0.4 mm and 0.5 mm, the average length being 10 mm. Thus the dimensions T and R of the baffle 10 and 13 lie between 30 mm and 35 mm. The flow speed in direction D is between m/sec and 35 m/sec.
