Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for treating powder in a process in which a powdery layer is formed on a web having a first side and a second side by utilizing electric forces in such a manner that at least one electrode is located at the first side of the web, at least one electrode is located at the second side of the web, and the electrodes at different sides are in different potentials.
- the method of the invention can be applied.
- the method is used in a process in which a dry powder is applied on a substrate by utilizing electric forces.
- the dry powder may comprise inorganic particles, binder particles, plastic particles, or other polymeric particles.
- the dry powder may form a coating layer, or a film layer.
- the coating layer is aimed to replace conventional paper coatings
- the film layer is aimed to replace conventional film layers, such as a plastic film on a paper substrate.
- a powder application unit which includes at least one electrode at the both sides of the substrate.
- the electrodes are in different potentials.
- the dry powder is applied on the substrate in such a manner that the electrodes at the opposite sides of the substrate form an electric field in which the particles of the dry powder are blown through a feeding nozzle.
- the layer formed of the dry powder is finished by a suitable manner in a final fixing device, for example by thermomechanical treatment, such as calendering.
- the substrate can be treated only one surface at a time, or both surfaces at the same time. It is also possible that two or more layers are formed one upon the other.
- the substrate to be treated is a web, which may be a sheet-like substrate, or a surface onto which a film is formed and peeled off as a ready product.
- a web which may be a sheet-like substrate, or a surface onto which a film is formed and peeled off as a ready product.
- the material of the sheet-like substrate may comprise papermaking fibers, for example chemical pulp and/or mechanical cal pulp, or it may be plastic, metallic, or a metal-coated plastic material.
- the method of the invention is characterized in that the powdery layer is recovered from the web by utilizing electric forces.
- the powdery particles are adhered loosely by the electrostatic forces on the substrate before they are finally fixed on the substrate.
- the detachment unit is located after the powder application unit but before the final fixing device.
- the secondary electrodes have opposite potential and charges compared to the particles of the powdery layer, i.e. the secondary electrodes are capable for forming a reverse electric field compared to the electrodes in the application unit.
- the particles and the paper start to repel each other (they have a similar charge) and the electric field created by the secondary electrodes transfers the particles away from the paper towards e.g. the grounding / collector electrode.
- the detachment may be done cyclic e.g.
- the removing of the particles may have prior treatments or local in situ treatments, which enhance the recovering process.
- the prior treatments may include specific processes related to the raw materials, for example electrostatic treatments.
- the in situ treatments may include using of an air doctor or ultrasound to help in removing the powder.
- means for recycling may be used.
- a recycling configuration may comprise a direct circulation, or it may include also cyclones for separating different powder fractions.
- the recovering device must be constructed so that the powder deposits are avoided.
- the process line comprises an application device 1, a recovering device, which includes a detachment device 2a and a removing device 2b, and a fixing device 3 comprising for example a heated nip formed between two rolls.
- a substrate 4 in a web form having an first surface 4a and a second surface 4b travels in the process line.
- the application device 1 may comprise a positive charging electrode situating at the first surface 4a and a grounding electrode situating at the second surface 4b.
- the powdery particles are charged positively, and they are blown to the first surface 4a.
- the positively charged particles are drawn by the grounding electrode, and thus they are adhered on the first surface 4a.
- the detachment device 2a includes a positive electrode, which detaches the powdery particles from the first surface 4a because the electric field affecting the powder particles is opposite and the charges having a similar polarity repel each other.
- the removing device 2b recovers the powdery particles, and possibly leads them for reuse.
- the removing device 2b may comprise for example suction to recover the powdery particles. Before suction there may be for example an air doctor, which intensify loosening of the particles from the substrate. In such a manner, only the substrate ends in the rejected material or for specific recycling.
- the process line in which the method of the invention is used may differ from the described process.
- the sign of the electrode in the detachment device depends on the electrodes used in the application device; the electrode in the detachment device must show the same sign as the electrode at the first side of the substrate if the detachment device is located at the second side of the substrate.
- both sides of the substrate are treated simultaneously there must be an electrode at both sides of the substrate, which have a different polarity compared to the electrode at the same side of the substrate in the application device.
- the main idea in this invention is that the dry powder can be recovered from the process very effectively when it is necessary.
