Abstract

In the continuous-bleaching installation described, the steamer unit (1) is followed by a washing unit (2) comprising several individual washing machines (6, 7, 8, 9). The washing machines (6, 7) immediately downstream of the steamer unit (1) are operated in co-current flow, and are fed with 10-50 % of the washing liquor throughput of the last washing machines (8, 9) which are operated on the counterflow principle.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Kontinue-Verfahren zum Bleichen einer textilen Warenbahn sowie eine entsprechende Maschinenanlage.The invention relates to a continuous process for bleaching a textile web and a corresponding machine system.

Zum Bleichen wird auf eine ganz oder überwiegend aus Baumwolle bestehende textile Warenbahn nach einer Vorwäsche eine Bleichflotte aufgetragen, die beispielsweise Natronlauge und Peroxid enthält und in einem Dämpfer während einer bestimmten Verweildauer auf die Warenbahn einwirkt. Anschließend wird die Warenbahn in einer intensiven Wäsche von den aufgetragenen Chemikalien und den gelösten Stoffen befreit und ist dann für den Färbevorgang bereit.For bleaching, a bleaching liquor, which contains, for example, sodium hydroxide solution and peroxide and which acts in a damper on the fabric for a certain period of time, is applied to a textile fabric web consisting entirely or predominantly of cotton. Subsequently, the fabric is freed of the applied chemicals and the dissolved substances in an intensive wash and is then ready for the dyeing process.

Dieses standardmäßige Verfahren ergibt in den bekannten Ausführungsformen zwar einen guten Weißgrad und Freiheit von Schalen, doch läßt die Hydrophilität manchmal noch zu wünschen übrig, was bedeutet, daß die Warenbahn die Färbeflotte nicht begierig genug annimmt. Die Hydrophilität wird davon bestimmt, wieviel von den auf der Baumwollfaser befindlichen Wachsen und Fetten durch die Behandlung mit NaOH gelöst werden konnte. Ist diese Lösung nicht ganz vollständig und verbleibt noch einiges von den Wachsen und Fetten auf der Warenbahn, so ist die Hydrophilie schlecht und wird die Färbeflüssigkeit entsprechend schlecht angenommen.In the known embodiments, this standard method gives good whiteness and freedom from shells, but the hydrophilicity sometimes leaves something to be desired, which means that the web does not greedily accept the dyeing liquor. The hydrophilicity is determined by how much of the waxes and fats on the cotton fiber could be dissolved by the treatment with NaOH. If this solution is not completely complete and some of the waxes and fats remain on the web, the hydrophilicity is poor and the dyeing liquid is accordingly poorly accepted.

Am Ende ihres Weges durch den Dämpfer sind die aufgetragenen Chemikalien noch nicht restlos verbraucht, sondern es befindet sich noch ein gewisser Anteil an Restchemikalien auf der Warenbhan, wenn diese in die Wascheinrichtung einläuft.At the end of their way through the damper, the applied chemicals are not completely used up, but there is still a certain amount of residual chemicals on the goods when it enters the washing device.

Die Wascheinrichtung besteht aus mehreren hintereinander angeordneten einzelnen Waschmaschinen, die beispielsweise als Rollenkufen ausgebildet sind. Eine derartige Reihe von Waschmaschinen wird aus Gründen der Wirtschaftlichkeit bei den bekannten Ausführungsformen im Gegenstrom betrieben, d.h. das Frischwasser wird am Ende der Reihe zugesetzt und strömt der Warenbahnlaufrichtung entgegen von einer Waschmaschine zur anderen, um an der in Strömungsrichtung letzten und in Warenbahnlaufrichtung ersten Waschmaschine "in den Kanal" geleitet zu werden (DD-A-63454; DE-C-3119869)The washing device consists of several individual washing machines arranged one behind the other, which are designed, for example, as roller skids. Such a series of washing machines is operated in countercurrent for reasons of economy in the known embodiments, i.e. the fresh water is added at the end of the row and flows from one washing machine to the other in the direction of web travel, in order to be directed "into the channel" at the last washing machine in the direction of flow and first in the direction of web travel (DD-A-63454; DE-C-3119869 )

Bezogen auf die Bleichanlage war es also so, daß die Warenbahn am Ende des Dämpfers mit einem großen durchgesetzten Flüssigkeitsangebot konfrontiert wurde, welches sogleich in der ersten Waschmaschine abgeleitet wurde. Dadurch wurden die auf der Warenbahn befindlichen Restchemikalien sogleich zu Anfang abgespült und entfernt.In relation to the bleaching system, it was the case that the web at the end of the steamer was confronted with a large amount of liquid which was immediately diverted in the first washing machine. As a result, the residual chemicals on the web were rinsed off and removed at the beginning.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem gattungsgemäßen Verfahren bzw. einer solchen Anlage das Behandlungsergebnis im Hinblick auf die hydrophilen Eigenschaften der Warenbahn zu verbessern.The object of the invention is to improve the treatment result with regard to the hydrophilic properties of the web in a generic method or such a system.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß in ihrem verfahrensmäßigen Aspekt in der in Anspruch 1 wiedergegebenen Weise gelöst.This object is achieved in its procedural aspect in the manner set out in claim 1.

Durch die Führung der Waschflotte im Gleichstrom wird zunächst erreicht, daß die Ableitung verbrauchter Waschflotte nicht sogleich am Anfang der Strecke der Waschmaschinen erfolgt, sondern erst zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt, im Sinne der Warenbahnlaufrichtung gesehen, nämlich an der Grenze zwischen dem Gleichstromabschnitt und dem Gegenstromabschnitt. Die Erfindung umfaßt, daß die Gesamtmenge der am Ende des Gegenstromabschnitts anfallenden teilweise verbrauchten Waschflüssigkeit zu Beginn des Gleichstromabschnitts, also unmittelbar nach dem Dämpfer, eingesetzt wird. Bevorzugt ist aber der Einsatz nur einer Teilmenge der im Gegenstromabschnitt eingesetzten gesamten Waschflüssigkeitsmenge am Beginn des Gleichstromabschnittes. Die kombinierte Wirkung dieser Maßnahmen besteht darin, daß die auf der Warenbahn befindlichen Restchemikalien nicht mit einem großen Angebot an Waschflüssigkeit abgespült und sogleich abgeleitet werden, sondern daß die Restchemikalien nur einem verminderten Waschangriff ausgesetzt sind und in dem Gleichstromabschnitt Gelegenheit zur Nachwirkung haben. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Gestaltung der aus mehreren Waschmaschinen bestehenden Wascheinrichtung wird also die Einwirkzeit der Restchemikalien, und zwar insbesondere der für die Lösung der Wachse und Fette maßgeblichen Chemikalien, insbesondere der Natronlauge, künstlich verlängert, so daß die Ablösung dieser Wachse und Fette entsprechend verbessert wird und sich gute hydrophile Eigenschaften einstellen. In vielen Fällen kann dadurch auf die bisher noch übliche, der Bleichstufe mit Peroxid vorgeschaltete Brühstufe mit NaOH verzichtet und eine echte einstufige Bleiche erreicht werden, indem NaOH und Peroxid zusammen mit allenfalls etwas erhöhter NaOH-Konzentration aufgetragen und die Warenbahn damit durch den Dämpfer gefahren wird. Die erfindungsgemäß durch die bloße Ausgestaltung des Waschprozesses meist mögliche Einsparung der Brühstufe, nach der das NaOH ja wieder ausgewaschen werden mußte, stellt auch unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Verminderung der Umweltbelastung einen wichtigen Vorteil dar. Zwar wird auch bei der Erfindung eine bestimmte Menge an NaOH zur Lösung der Wachse und Fette benötigt und zusammen mit dem Peroxid in einer Behandlungsflotte untergebracht, doch ist auch bei Vorhandensein einer Brühstufe in der Bleichflotte NaOH zugegen. Die Gesamtbelastung mit NaOH wird jedoch bei einem möglichen Entfall der Brühstufe geringer. Die Bleiche mit NaOH und Peroxid entspricht dem bevorzugten Anwendungsfall der Erfindung, doch ist diese darauf nicht beschränkt.By guiding the washing liquor in cocurrent, it is first achieved that used washing liquor is not discharged immediately at the beginning of the washing machine route, but only at a later point in time in the direction of the web travel, namely at the boundary between the cocurrent section and the countercurrent section. The invention encompasses that the total amount of partial accumulation at the end of the countercurrent section used washing liquid is used at the beginning of the DC section, i.e. immediately after the damper. However, it is preferred to use only a subset of the total amount of washing liquid used in the counterflow section at the beginning of the cocurrent section. The combined effect of these measures is that the residual chemicals on the web are not rinsed off with a large supply of washing liquid and immediately drained off, but that the residual chemicals are only exposed to a reduced washing attack and have the opportunity to have an after-effect in the direct current section. Due to the inventive design of the washing device consisting of several washing machines, the exposure time of the residual chemicals, in particular the chemicals relevant for the solution of the waxes and fats, in particular the sodium hydroxide solution, is artificially extended so that the detachment of these waxes and fats is improved accordingly and good hydrophilic properties develop. In many cases, this means that the previously usual brewing stage with NaOH, which precedes the bleaching stage with peroxide, can be dispensed with and real one-stage bleaching can be achieved by applying NaOH and peroxide together with possibly a slightly higher NaOH concentration and thus moving the fabric through the damper . The saving of the brewing stage after which the NaOH had to be washed out again, which is mostly possible according to the invention by the mere design of the washing process, also represents an important advantage from the point of view of reducing the environmental impact. A certain amount of NaOH is also used in the invention Solution of the waxes and fats required and placed together with the peroxide in a treatment liquor, but NaOH is also present in the bleaching liquor if there is a brewing stage. The total exposure to NaOH is, however, at one possible elimination of the brewing level is lower. The bleaching with NaOH and peroxide corresponds to the preferred application of the invention, but this is not restricted to this.

Aus der Schriftstelle "Melliand Textilberichte" 61 (1980), Seitenzahl 58 bis 261, insbesondere Seite 260 unter der Überschrift "Geschwindigkeitsneutralität", Punkt 2., ist bereits ein Hinweis darauf zu entnehmen, daß beim kontinuierlichen Bleichen vor der eigentlichen Verdünnungswäsche eine Zwischensektion eingeschaltet werden solle, bei der von dem Flottenverhältnis von etwa 1 : 1 zunächst auf ein grlßeres Lösungsvolumen, welches auch das ausgewaschene NaOH enthält, überzugehen. Wie dies allerdings konkret bewerkstelligt werden soll, ist aus der Schriftstelle nicht zu entnehmen.From the scripture "Melliand Textile Reports" 61 (1980), pages 58 to 261, in particular page 260 under the heading "Speed neutrality", point 2., it can already be seen that an intermediate section is activated during continuous bleaching before the actual dilution wash should change from the liquor ratio of about 1: 1 to a larger volume of solution, which also contains the washed-out NaOH. However, it cannot be seen from the scripture how this is to be done concretely.

Wenn nur eine Teilmenge der Waschflotte des Gegenstromabschnitts für das Waschen im Gleichstromabschnitt verwendet wird, kann diese nach Anspruch 2 bemessen werden.If only a subset of the washing liquor of the countercurrent section is used for washing in the cocurrent section, this can be dimensioned according to claim 2.

Es handelt sich also um bereits teilweise verbrauchte und die herausgewaschenen Restchemikalien enthaltende Waschflotte, die in dem Gleichstromabschnitt verwendet wird, so daß die Warenbahn dort gewissermaßen "im eigenen Saft" behandelt wird und die in der Waschflotte enthaltenen die Hydrophilie beeinflussenden Restchemikalien Gelegenheit zu weiterer Einwirkung auf die Bahn nach dem Verlassen des Dämpfers haben.So it is already partially used washing liquor containing the washed out residual chemicals, which is used in the DC section, so that the web is treated to a certain extent "in its own juice" and the remaining chemicals contained in the washing liquor, which influence the hydrophilicity, have the opportunity for further action have the track after leaving the damper.

Ansprüche 3 und 4 geben die apparative Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Kontinue-Anlage wieder.Claims 3 and 4 reflect the apparatus configuration of the continuous system according to the invention.

In der Zeichnung ist der für die Erfindung maßgebliche Teil einer Kontinue-Bleichanlage in Seitenansicht schematisch wiedergegeben.In the drawing, the part of a continuous bleaching plant that is relevant to the invention is schematically shown in a side view.

Die Warenbahn 10 ist zunächst intensiv vorgewaschen und sodann mit einer Bleichflotte versehen worden, die beispielsweise Natronlauge und Peroxid enthalten kann. Die so beladene Warenbhan 10 hat dann eine Verweilzeit in einem Dämpfer 1 hinter sich gebracht, dessen Endbereich auf der linken Seite der Zeichnung wiedergegeben ist. An den Dämpfer schließt sich eine als Ganzes mit 2 bezeichnete Wascheinrichtung an. Die Warenbahn 10 durchläuft anschließend ein Spülbecken 3 sowie ein Rollenquetschwerk 4 und wird am Schluß zu einer Docke 5 aufgewickelt.The fabric web 10 is first prewashed intensively and then provided with a bleaching liquor which can contain, for example, sodium hydroxide solution and peroxide. The thus loaded goods 10 then has a dwell time brought behind in a damper 1, the end region is shown on the left side of the drawing. A washing device, designated as a whole by 2, adjoins the damper. The material web 10 then passes through a sink 3 and a roller crusher 4 and is finally wound up into a dock 5.

Die Wascheinrichtung 2 besteht in dem Ausführungsbeispiel aus vier in Laufrichtung der Warenbahn 10 hintereinandergeschalteten Waschmaschinen 6,7,8,9, die als sogenannte Rollenkufen ausgebildet sind und jeweils ihrerseits wieder in vier Waschabteile unterteilt sind, wie es bei der Waschmaschine 6 durch die Bezugszahlen 6₁,6₂,6₃ und 6₄ angedeutet ist.The washing device 2 consists in the exemplary embodiment of four washing machines 6, 7, 8, 9 connected in series in the direction of travel of the web 10, which are designed as so-called roller skids and in turn are each divided into four washing compartments, as is the case with the washing machine 6 by the reference numbers 6 1 , 6₂, 6₃ and 6₄ is indicated.

Das Frischwasser wird über die Leitung 11 und einen Filter 11' einer Pumpe 13 zugeführt, die es über ein Steuerventil 14 und einen Wärmetauscher 15 bei 16 also ganz am Ende der Reihe der Waschmaschinen 6,7,8,9 in die letzte Waschmaschine 9 einleitet. Das Frischwasser bildet am Boden der Waschmaschinen 6,7,8,9 eine Waschflotte, die in den Waschmaschinen 9 und 8 entgegen der durch die Pfeile angedeuteten Laufrichtung der Warenbahn 10 strömt und in der aus der Zeichnung ersichtlichen Weise von der Waschmaschine 9 in die Waschmaschine 8 überströmt, um am Eingang der Waschmaschine 8 (in Laufrichtung der Warenbahn 10 gesehen) über die Leitung 17 in einen Zwischenbehälter 18 abgezogen zu werden, aus welchem überlaufende Waschflotte über die Leitung 19 in den Wärmetauscher 15 und von diesem in den "Kanal" 20 gelangt. Die Waschflotte wird in den Waschmaschinen 6,7,8,9 beheizt und hat eine erhöhte Temperatur. Die Wärme wird in dem Wärmetauscher 15 auf das zugegebene Frischwasser übertragen.The fresh water is fed via line 11 and a filter 11 'to a pump 13, which introduces it into the last washing machine 9 via a control valve 14 and a heat exchanger 15 at 16 at the very end of the row of washing machines 6, 7, 8, 9 . The fresh water forms at the bottom of the washing machines 6, 7, 8, 9 a washing liquor which flows in the washing machines 9 and 8 against the direction of the web 10 indicated by the arrows and in the manner shown in the drawing from the washing machine 9 into the washing machine 8 overflows to be drawn off via line 17 into an intermediate container 18 at the entrance of washing machine 8 (seen in the direction of travel of web 10), from which overflowing washing liquor flows via line 19 into heat exchanger 15 and from there into "channel" 20 reached. The washing liquor is heated in washing machines 6, 7, 8, 9 and has an increased temperature. The heat is transferred in the heat exchanger 15 to the fresh water added.

Ein Teil der in den Zwischenbehälter 18 gelangten Waschflotte wird über die Pumpe 21 und das Steuerventil 22 und die Leitung 23 am Eingang 27 (in Laufrichtung der Warenbahn 10 gesehen) der Waschmaschine 6, also an einer dem Dämpfer 1 unmittelbar folgenden Stelle, eingegeben und durchströmt die Waschmaschine 6 sowie anschließend die Waschmaschine 7, um an deren Auslauf 28 entweder direkt in den Kanal abgeleitet zu werden oder über die Leitung 24 durch den Wärmetauscher und dann in den Kanal 20 zu gelangen. Die Warenbahn 10 verbleibt also in den ersten Waschmaschinen 6,7 in einer schon teilweise verbrauchten Waschflotte, die entsprechend der Laufrichtung der Warenbahn 10 strömt und erst am Auslauf 28 der Waschmaschine 7 in den Kanal 20 abgeht. In den Waschmaschinen 6,7 wird also die Warenbahn 10 nicht sogleich durchgreifend ausgespült, sondern es hat auf der Warenbahn 10 verbliebene Bleichflotte Gelegenheit zum Nachwirken. In der durch die Waschmaschinen 6,7 gegebenen Zwischensektion erfolgt ein Übergang von einem Flottenverhältnis von etwa 1 : 1 in dem Dämpfer 1 auf ein Flottenverhältnis von etwa 1 : 2 bis 1 : 4, d.h. auf ein größeres Lösungsvolumen, welches das schon ausgewaschene NaOH aber noch enthält.Part of the washing liquor which has entered the intermediate container 18 is pumped through the pump 21 and the control valve 22 and the line 23 at the inlet 27 (in the running direction of the Material web 10 seen) of the washing machine 6, that is to say at a point immediately following the damper 1, entered and flows through the washing machine 6 and then through the washing machine 7 in order to either be discharged directly into the channel at its outlet 28 or via the line 24 through the Heat exchanger and then to enter channel 20. The web 10 therefore remains in the first washing machines 6, 7 in a washing liquor which has already been partially used up, flows in accordance with the running direction of the web 10 and only goes into the channel 20 at the outlet 28 of the washing machine 7. In the washing machines 6, 7, the web 10 is not immediately thoroughly rinsed out, but the bleaching liquor remaining on the web 10 has the opportunity to act. In the intermediate section given by the washing machines 6, 7 there is a transition from a liquor ratio of approximately 1: 1 in the damper 1 to a liquor ratio of approximately 1: 2 to 1: 4, ie to a larger solution volume, which, however, the NaOH which has already been washed out still contains.

Die Menge der durch die Pumpe 21 dem Zwischenbehälter 18 entnommenen Waschflotte beträgt 10 % bis 50 % der durch die Waschmaschinen 8,9 durchgesetzten Waschflotte.The amount of wash liquor removed from the intermediate container 18 by the pump 21 is 10% to 50% of the wash liquor passed through the washing machines 8.9.

Während die Waschflotte in den Waschmaschinen 9 und 8 im Gegenstrom zur Laufrichtung der Warenbahn 10 durchgesetzt wird, erfolgt der Durchsatz in den Waschmaschinen 6 und 7 im Gleichstrom zur Laufrichtung der Warenbahn 10.While the washing liquor is passed through in the washing machines 9 and 8 in countercurrent to the running direction of the web 10, the throughput in the washing machines 6 and 7 takes place in cocurrent to the running direction of the web 10.

Die gesamte Wascheinrichtung 2 ist also in einen dem Dämpfer 1 unmittelbar nachfolgenden Gleichstromabschnitt 25 und einen sich an diesen anschließenden Gegenstromabschnitt 26 unterteilt, wie sie durch die großen Pfeile angedeutet sind.The entire washing device 2 is thus subdivided into a direct current section 25 immediately following the damper 1 and a countercurrent section 26 adjoining the latter, as indicated by the large arrows.
