7 Claims. g.
The instant invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of felted products and more particularly to a method and apparatus for the production of a felt or mat of mineral wool fibers, the felt having improved structural characteristics. The invention has found a principal field of use in connection with mineral wool fibers, by which term is included fibers formed from rock, slag, glass and the like, but may be employed with other types of fibers where similar problems are encountered.
Conventionally mineral wool felts are formed by subjecting a molten stream of the selected raw material to the action of a steam jet. The jet disintegrates the stream into a great multiplicity of fine fibers which are carried in air suspension into a blow chamber or other suitable collecting means where they are gathered in interfelted relationship. Usually a binder of a suitable type is employed, the binder being sprayed into the suspension of fibers adjacent their place of formation, the binder particles settling with the fibers to become interspersed throughout the felt. The felted material thus formed may be conveyed to suitable treating means where it is compressed and the binder set to form resilient blocks or felts. Due to the settling of the fibers from the air suspension onto the blow chamber floor, usualy a continuously traveling conveyor, a resilient but relatively compressible mat is obtained in which the fibers lie predominantly in planes parallel to the faces of the mat producing a laminar type felted structure.
A principal object of the instant invention is the provision of a method and apparatus for modifying the aboVe-referred-to fiber relationship to obtain a felted material which will withstand greater loads without undue distortion and which will be resistant to delamination. A more specific object of the invention is the provision of such apparatus and method which will provide a more heterogeneous arrangement of the fibers in the felt with a consequent reduction of the laminar characteristics and a higher resistance to compression.
A further object of the invention is to provide a method and apparatus for the above purposes, adapted to be continuously operated in conjunction with the normal fiber-forming and felting operations.
Our invention will be more fully understood and further objects and advantages thereof will become apparent when reference is made to the more detailed description thereof which is to follow, and to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic side elevational view of an apparatus in accordance with the invention and to be employed for carrying out the method; and
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 illustrating a modification of the invention.
Referring now to the drawing, there is illustrated at lil a portion of a conventional blow chamber or other collecting apparatus for fibers such as mineral wool fibers of the type previously referred to. It will be understood that suitably the fibers may be those newly formed by disintegrating a molten stream of the material issuing from a cupola or other melting furnace of conventional type, the fibers being carried into the blow chamber I9 in air suspension and falling onto a continuously moving conveyor 12 forming the floor of the blow chamber. A binder of any suitable type may be applied to the fibers. Due to the falling movement of the fibers and also to the forward travel of the conveyor, a predominant number of the fibers will lie in planes parallel to the faces of the felt. The parallel relationship of the fibers is accentuated by the compressing action of a roll I 3 placed, as is conventional, adjacent the exit of the blow chamber.
Adjacent the end of conveyor 12 there is provideda transfer conveyor Id supported on rollers 16. The upper reach of conveyor I4 is driven in the same direction as the upper reach of conveyor l2 as indicated by the arrows and at the same speed. Suitably conveyor It is inclined downwardly from conveyor !2 as illustrated in the drawing. Located to extend below conveyor [4 is a third conveyor l8 supported on rolls 20 and adapted to be driven at a speed slower than that of conveyors l2 and [4 for a purpose later to be described. Between the forward roll it supporting conveyor l4 and the upper reach of conveyor 18, a plurality of freely rotatable rollers 22 are supported on suitable shafts (not shown). Rollers 22 lie in substantially the plane of the upper reach of conveyor l4 as shown, and support the felt in its travel from transfer conveyor id to conveyor l8. Located above conveyor is is a fourth conveyor 24 supported on rollers 26 and adapted to be driven at the same speed as conveyor I8. Conveyor 25 is preferably supported in a plane parallel to the plane of conveyor is and is spaced from conveyor [4 a distance approximately equal tothe thickness of the felt issuing from the blow chamber Ill. Conveyors l8 and 24 converge, the lower end of conveyor 24 approaching conveyor l8 to provide a gap or bight 23 of 3 appreciably less width than the original thickness of the felt.
Although no driving means for the several conveyors has been shown in the drawing, it will be appreciated that any conventional apparatus may be employed for this purpose. Separate drives may be used or the different conveyors may all be driven at the required relative speeds from one main drive. The belts are of wire mesh or other suitable construction as normally employed in mineral wool manufacture.
In the operation of the apparatus described above and in the carrying out of the method of the invention, conveyors l8 and 24 are driven at a relatively slower speed than conveyors l2 and I4. Suitably a speed of 1.25 feet per minute may be employed for conveyors l2 and I4, and a speed of one foot per minutefor conveyors l3 and 24. It will be understood that the speed relationships given are merely illustrative and that others may be employed depending upon the particular conditions of operation. The felt issuing from the blow chamber is carried by conveyor 14 into the gap defined by the lower reach of conveyor 24 and rollers 22. When the felt comes into contact with the belt I8 as well as belt 24, the lower speed of these belts, and hence of travel of the felt, causes the felted material to jam together into small heterogeneously arranged noils and lumps effectively breaking the continuity of the laminations. In this way a uniform overall felted structure is obtained with excellent delamination resistance.
As the felt with the fibers reoriented, as described above, approaches and enters th bight 28 between roll 26 and conveyor I 8, it is substantially compressed to consolidate the fiber mass. The felt then passes from conveyor is to to any suitable finishing apparatus which, as illustrated, may comprise compression belts 30 and 32 supported on rollers or drums 34 and 36 respectively. As the felt passes between belts 39 and 32, it is compressed to a desired finish thickness, and the binder is set in any suitable manner, depending on the particular type of binder employed. The felt may then be subdivided into blocks or sheets of desired size by suitable means not shown, or may be subjected to further finishing steps.
Referring to Fig. 2, a modification of the invention is illustrated. In this instance the blow chamber conveyor [2, transfer conveyor l4, and conveyors l8 and 24 are provided as before. However, rollers 22 are eliminated and the blow chamber conveyor belt and transfer conveyor M are run at a considerably higher speed than conveyors l8 and 24. For example, the blow chamber conveyor and the transfer coveyor may travel at a rate of three feet a minute, while conveyors l8 and 24 are traveling at the rate of one foot per minute. The felt drops over the end of conveyor l4 and forms large corrugations oi loops on the slow moving conveyor 18. The corrugated felt is compressed between the adjacent reaches of conveyors l8 and 24 to a thickness as determined by the space or bight between the lower end of conveyor 24 and conveyor l8. As before, a heterogeneous arrangement of the fibers in the -felt results, and delamination resistance and rethe scope of the invention as defined by the subjoined claims.
