Description
La présente invention concerne la préparation de papier pour sachets filtres.The present invention relates to the preparation of paper for filter bags.
On entend dans la présente demande par "sachets filtres", les sachets d'infusion, notamment les sachets de thé ou de plantes médicinales, et les sachets de café ou analogues.In the present application, the term “filter sachets” means infusion sachets, in particular tea or medicinal plant sachets, and coffee or similar sachets.
Dans le cadre de la présente demande, le terme "sachet" regroupe les conditionnements livrés à l'état fermé et rempli à l'utilisateur, ainsi que les sachets livrés ouverts, par exemple en forme de cône, et remplis par le consommateur, avant utilisation. Le terme "sachet" n'est pas limité à une géométrie particulière. Il englobe par exemple les conditionnements généralement cylindriques obtenus dans le cas de produits conditionnés à l'état comprimé, par exemple dans le cas de sachets pour café.In the context of this request, the term "sachet" includes the packages delivered in a closed state and filled to the user, as well as the sachets delivered open, for example in the form of a cone, and filled by the consumer, before use. The term "bag" is not limited to a particular geometry. It includes, for example, generally cylindrical packaging obtained in the case of products packaged in a compressed state, for example in the case of coffee sachets.
La présente invention concerne plus précisément la préparation de papier pour sachets filtres, du type formé d'une structure non tissée composée d'une couche à base de fibres synthétiques et d'une couche de fibres cellulosiques superposées, et présentant une texture apparente particulière, ou un motif répétitif tel que, par exemple, une semi-perforation à intervalles réguliers.The present invention relates more precisely to the preparation of paper for filter bags, of the type formed by a nonwoven structure composed of a layer based on synthetic fibers and a layer of superimposed cellulosic fibers, and having a particular apparent texture, or a repeating pattern such as, for example, a semi-perforation at regular intervals.
Comme représenté schématiquement sur la figure 1 annexée, le papier filtre texturé est généralement préparé selon un procédé classique consistant, à réaliser, selon une technique connue en soi à l'aide d'une machine 10, une structure non tissée 12 composée d'une couche à base de fibres synthétiques et d'une couche de fibres cellulosiques superposées, puis à :
- a) appliquer une série de jets de
fluide 20 sur la structure non tissée 12 pour texturer le papier selon une configuration choisie, puis - b) soumettre la structure non tissée texturée à une opération de chauffage afin de fixer les fibres synthétiques.
- a) applying a series of jets of
fluid 20 to thenonwoven structure 12 to texture the paper in a chosen configuration, then - b) subjecting the textured nonwoven structure to a heating operation in order to fix the synthetic fibers.
L'opération de texturage par jets de fluide est le plus souvent réalisée en projetant les jets de fluide 20 sur le papier 12 à travers un cylindre 22 ajouré rotatif ou une bande 120 ajourée mobile. Au cours de cette opération le papier 12 doit bien entendu être supporté par des moyens supports qui n'ont pas été représentés sur la figure 1 pour simplifier l'illustration. Le fluide utilisé est généralement de l'eau. Cette technique de texturation par jets de fluide bien connue de l'homme de l'art a donné lieu à une littérature abondante.The texturing operation by fluid jets is most often carried out by projecting the
L'opération de fixation à chaud est généralement réalisée par passage du papier texturé sur un cylindre rotatif 30 pourvu de moyens de chauffage. Le cylindre 30 peut par exemple être chauffé à une température de l'ordre de 200°C. Il peut éventuellement être du type "air traversant" prévoyant un soufflage d'air chaud à travers la feuille. Il peut aussi être remplacé par un four-tunnel à air chaud.The hot fixing operation is generally carried out by passing the textured paper over a
La présente invention a maintenant pour but de proposer un nouveau procédé de préparation de papier pour sachets filtres qui permet d'améliorer les propriétés du produit obtenu.The present invention now aims to provide a new process for preparing paper for filter bags which improves the properties of the product obtained.
Ce but est atteint selon la présente invention grâce à un procédé de préparation de papier pour sachets filtres qui comprend, après réalisation selon une technique connue en soi d'un papier non tissé composé d'une couche à base de fibres synthétiques et d'une couche de fibres cellulosiques superposées, l'étape consistant à soumettre le papier non tissé à une opération de calandrage entre une structure support et un cylindre chauffé à reliefs.This object is achieved according to the present invention by a process for preparing paper for filter bags which comprises, after production according to a technique known per se of a nonwoven paper composed of a layer based on synthetic fibers and a layer of superimposed cellulosic fibers, the step consisting in subjecting the nonwoven paper to a calendering operation between a support structure and a heated relief cylinder.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de la présente invention, le cylindre chauffé est un cylindre métallique.According to an advantageous characteristic of the present invention, the heated cylinder is a metal cylinder.
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la structure support est formée d'un cylindre à surface lisse.According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the support structure is formed by a cylinder with a smooth surface.
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la structure support est formée d'un cylindre présentant en creux le relief inversé de celui du cylindre métallique.According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the support structure is formed of a cylinder having in hollow the relief inverted from that of the metal cylinder.
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la structure support est formée d'un cylindre à surface externe souple élastique, tel qu'un cylindre caoutchouté.According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the support structure is formed by a cylinder with an elastic flexible external surface, such as a rubberized cylinder.
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse de la présente invention, la pression d'appui entre la structure support et le cylindre chauffé à reliefs est réglable.According to another advantageous characteristic of the present invention, the support pressure between the support structure and the heated relief cylinder is adjustable.
L'invention concerne également le dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé et le produit obtenu.The invention also relates to the device for implementing the method and to the product obtained.
D'autres caractéristiques, buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, et en regard des dessins annexés donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif et sur lesquels :

- FIGS. 4A and 4B schematically represent two symbols obtained respectively according to the conventional technique and according to the present invention.
Comme représenté sur la figure 2 et indiqué précédemment le procédé conforme à la présente invention consiste :
- i) à réaliser, selon une technique connue en soi, à l'aide d'une machine classique 100, un
papier 112 non tissé composé d'une couche à base de fibres synthétiques et d'une couche de fibres cellulosiques superposées, puis - ii) soumettre le papier non tissé 112 à une opération de
calandrage 120 entre unestructure support 130 et un cylindre chauffé àreliefs 140.
- i) producing, according to a technique known per se, using a
conventional machine 100, anonwoven paper 112 composed of a layer based on synthetic fibers and a layer of superposed cellulosic fibers, then - ii) subjecting the
nonwoven paper 112 to a calenderingoperation 120 between asupport structure 130 and a heated cylinder withreliefs 140.
De préférence, le cylindre chauffé à reliefs 140 est un cylindre métallique, tandis que la structure support est formée d'un rouleau caoutchouté, lisse de préférence.Preferably, the
Le cas échéant, comme indiqué précédemment, la structure support peut être formée d'un cylindre présentant en creux le relief inverse du cylindre 140.Where appropriate, as indicated above, the support structure may be formed of a cylinder having in hollow the reverse relief of the
Le rouleau métallique à reliefs 140 et le rouleau support 130 sont entraînés à rotation dans le sens de défilement du papier non tissé 112, à la même vitesse que celui-ci.The
Bien entendu, le cas échéant, les cylindres 130 et 140 pourraient être remplacés par des structures à bandes sans fin equivalentes.Of course, if necessary, the
Le cylindre à reliefs 140 peut être chauffé à l'aide de tout moyen classique connu de l'homme de l'art.The
La pression d'appui entre les cylindres 130 et 140 est de préférence réglable.The contact pressure between the
La couche de fibres synthétiques du papier non tissé 112 est de préférence placée du côté du cylindre chauffé à reliefs 140. La disposition inverse peut cependant être retenue, en particulier pour limiter l'adhérence entre le papier et le cylindre chauffé, à grande vitesse.The layer of synthetic fibers of the
Ainsi, lors du passage entre les rouleaux 130 et 140, les fibres synthétiques du non tissé 112 sont en partie fondues par l'action de calandrage qui s'exerce au niveau des reliefs du cylindre 140.Thus, during the passage between the
De ce fait on retrouve après passage entre les cylindres 130 et 140, dans l'aspect du non tissé calandré 114, les reliefs du cylindre 140.Therefore, after passing between the
Le procédé proposé dans le cadre de la présente invention offre de nombreux avantages par rapport au procédé classique antérieur illustré sur la figure 1.The method proposed in the context of the present invention offers numerous advantages compared to the prior conventional method illustrated in FIG. 1.
Parmi les avantages on citera les suivants.
- a) Le procédé conforme à la présente invention requiert un seul poste de traitement en aval de l'appareil 100 générant le papier non tissé bi-couche 112, alors que le procédé connu représenté sur la figure 1 requiert deux postes de traitement correspondant respectivement au poste de texturation par jets d'eau et au poste de chauffage pour la fixation des fibres synthétiques. Il en résulte que les chaînes de fabrication conformes à la présente invention présentent un encombrement plus faible et sont plus faciles à régler. En particulier, on supprime la nécessité de synchronisation de vitesse entre les deux postes de traitement séparés de la technique antérieure.
- b) Le procédé conforme à la présente invention ne consomme plus d'eau pour la texturation du papier.
- c) Le procédé conforme à la présente invention supprime le réglage du débit d'eau difficile à contrôler.
- d) Les dessins correspondant aux reliefs du
cylindre 140 obtenus selon l'invention, présentent une plus grande netteté que les dessins texturés par jets d'eau selon la technique classique antérieure. - e) Le procédé conforme à la présente invention permet une plus grande variété de motifs que la technique classique antérieure. La configuration et la dimension des motifs obtenus selon la technique antérieure sont limitées par le taux d'ouverture du cylindre perforé 22. Par ailleurs, la technique classique de texturation par jets d'eau à travers un cylindre ajouré 22 interdit la réalisation de figures fermées.
Par exemple la technique classique ne permet pas de réaliser la lettre "O" sous forme d'un symbole fermé, continu. Selon la technique classique la lettre "O" devait être réalisée sous forme de différents segments séparés S1, S2, S3, S4 comme représenté schématiquement sur la figure 4A.
La présente invention permet par contre sans difficulté de telles figures fermées, comme représenté sur la figure 4B. - f) La présente invention permet de transformer rapidement une chaîne de fabrication générant un motif donné sur le papier en une chaîne donnant un autre motif, par simple changement du cylindre en
relief 140, alors que selon la technique classique antérieure, le changement d'un cylindre 22 exige des réglages délicats, en particulier quant au débit de fluide en fonction de la dimension des perforations du cylindre.
De ce fait, le procédé conforme à la présente invention permet une meilleure régularité, ainsi qu'une meilleure reproductibilité du papier obtenu, d'une campagne de fabrication à une autre. - g) Enfin et surtout alors que comme représenté sur la figure 3A, la texturation par jets d'eau classique induit un déplacement des fibres donc des perforations localisées 16 dans la couche synthétique, le procédé de texturation par calandrage proposé par l'invention induit seulement des compressions localisées 116 dans la couche de fibres synthétiques.
- a) The method according to the present invention requires a single processing station downstream of the
apparatus 100 generating the bi-layernonwoven paper 112, while the known method shown in FIG. 1 requires two processing stations corresponding respectively to the texturing station with water jets and heating station for fixing synthetic fibers. As a result, the production lines according to the present invention have a smaller footprint and are easier to adjust. In particular, the need for speed synchronization between the two separate processing stations of the prior art is eliminated. - b) The process according to the present invention no longer consumes water for texturing the paper.
- c) The method according to the present invention eliminates the adjustment of the water flow which is difficult to control.
- d) The drawings corresponding to the reliefs of the
cylinder 140 obtained according to the invention have greater clarity than the textured drawings by water jets according to the prior conventional technique. - e) The process according to the present invention allows a greater variety of patterns than the prior conventional technique. The configuration and dimension of the patterns obtained according to the prior art are limited by the opening rate of the
perforated cylinder 22. Furthermore, the conventional technique of texturing by water jets through anopenwork cylinder 22 prohibits the production of closed figures.
For example, the conventional technique does not allow the letter "O" to be produced in the form of a closed, continuous symbol. According to the conventional technique, the letter "O" had to be produced in the form of different separate segments S1, S2, S3, S4 as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 4A.
The present invention however allows without difficulty such closed figures, as shown in Figure 4B. - f) The present invention makes it possible to quickly transform a production line generating a given pattern on paper into a chain giving another pattern, by simple change of the
relief cylinder 140, whereas according to the prior conventional technique, the change of acylinder 22 requires delicate adjustments, in particular as regards the flow of fluid as a function of the size of the perforations of the cylinder.
Therefore, the process according to the present invention allows better regularity, as well as better reproducibility of the paper obtained, from one production campaign to another. - g) Finally and above all while as shown in FIG. 3A, texturing by conventional water jets induces a displacement of the fibers, therefore
localized perforations 16 in the synthetic layer, the calendering texturing process proposed by the invention only induces localizedcompressions 116 in the layer of synthetic fibers.
La technique de texturation par jets d'eau peut risquer de perforer également la couche cellulosique (comme représenté en tirets sur la figure 3A) donc de créer des passages privilégiés de poussière. Cet inconvénient est totalement éliminé grâce au procédé de l'invention, qui permet donc de fabriquer un papier filtre exempt de l'inconvénient habituel des papiers texturés, en d'autres termes un papier présentant une aptitude améliorée à retenir les particules les plus fines.The texturing technique by water jets can also risk perforating the cellulosic layer (as shown in dashes in FIG. 3A), thus creating privileged passages of dust. This drawback is completely eliminated thanks to the process of the invention, which therefore makes it possible to manufacture a filter paper free from the usual drawback of textured papers, in other words a paper having an improved ability to retain the finest particles.
Les motifs réalisés en relief sur le cylindre 140 et reproduits sur le papier peuvent faire l'objet d'un très grand nombre de variantes.The patterns made in relief on the
La demanderesse en particulier a réalisé des papiers présentant des motifs sous forme de tirets, de carrés, et de losanges.The Applicant in particular has produced papers having patterns in the form of dashes, squares, and diamonds.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de la présente invention la largeur des reliefs du cylindre 140, c'est-à-dire la largeur 1 des zones 116 comprimées est de l'ordre de 0,1mm à 5mm, préférentiellement de 0,1mm à 2mm, très préférentiellement de l'ordre de 1mm.According to an advantageous characteristic of the present invention, the width of the reliefs of the
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse de la présente invention, la surface totale des zones comprimées 116 est inférieure au 5ème, très préférentiellement au 10ème de la surface totale du papier.According to another advantageous characteristic of the present invention, the total surface of the
