Description

La présente invention concerne une installation ou ligne compacte de pré-laquage de supports, de préférence des supports sous forme de bandes métalliques.The present invention relates to an installation or compact line for pre-lacquering substrates, preferably supports in the form of metal strips.

Des installations de pré-laquage sont connues utilisant le plus souvent des peintures liquides à base de solvant et nécessitant des installations importantes liées aux techniques utilisées. Citons entre autres:

  • Les temps de cuisson allant généralement de 30 secondes à plusieurs minutes.
  • L'inertie thermique des moyens de cuisson imposant des vitesses de production constantes, imposant des dispositifs d'accumulation d'entrée et de sortie, et des bandes d'arrêt pour ne pas arrêter le procédé.
  • Dans le cas de peintures du type avec solvant, il faut envisager la nécessité d'utilisation d'incinérateurs de fumée.
  • obligation de mise en oeuvre de mesures de sécurité (par exemple,pour éviter les explosions ou incendies)
Pre-lacquering installations are known most often using solvent-based liquid paints and requiring significant installations linked to the techniques used. These include:
  • Cooking times generally range from 30 seconds to several minutes.
  • The thermal inertia of the cooking means imposing constant production speeds, imposing input and output accumulation devices, and stop bands so as not to stop the process.
  • In the case of solvent-type paints, consideration should be given to the need for the use of smoke incinerators.
  • obligation to implement security measures (for example, to avoid explosions or fires)

Les usines productrices de métal pré-laqué, sont généralement filiales de grands groupe sidérurgiques, par exemple en Europe Arcelor, Thyssen, Chorus, SSAB, et d'autres installées aux USA, Australie, Japon, Corée etc.. The factories producing pre-lacquered metal are generally subsidiaries of large steel groups, for example example in Europe Arcelor, Thyssen, Chorus, SSAB, and others installed in the USA, Australia, Japan, Korea, etc.

Les industries utilisatrices du pré-laqué, sont généralement des industries de formage de l'acier et parmi elles les profileurs soit pour la fabrication de tôles profilées, soit de panneaux moussés.The industries using pre-lacquer are generally steel forming industries and among profilers either for sheet metal fabrication profiles, either of foamed panels.

La taille de ces sidérurgistes et les installations sur lesquelles ils produisent imposent nécessairement le respect d'impératifs de minima de quantités par article et de planification, généralement incompatibles avec ceux des profileurs plus proches des clients, et où les marchés deviennent de plus en plus concurrentiels. La flexibilité et la rapidité de réponse à la demande deviennent des éléments prépondérants pour conserver ces marchés ou en acquérir des nouveaux. Pour y faire face les profileurs doivent donc constituer d'importants stocks et ceci nécessite beaucoup de place et d'argent immobilisé. Ces coûts peuvent atteindre plusieurs millions d'Euros.The size of these steelmakers and the facilities on which they produce necessarily impose the compliance with minimum quantity requirements per article and planning, generally incompatible with those of profilers closer to customers, and where markets become more and more competitive. Flexibility and the speed of response to demand becomes preponderant elements to maintain these markets or in acquire new ones. To deal with the profilers must therefore build up large stocks and this requires a lot of space and immobilized money. These costs can reach several million Euros.

L'installation selon la présente invention répond à ce double problème des profileurs, la flexibilité et délai de livraison, en devenant leur propre pré-laqueur, ce qui permet une diminution drastique des stocks de bobines pré-laquées en amont de l'installation, qui sont remplacées par des bobines non peintes. L'ampleur du stock devant ligne peut être réduites de l'ordre de 10 fois, et par conséquents réductions des dépenses de stockage et de l'argent immobilisé auxquels s'ajoutent l'économie de la marge fournisseur.The installation according to the present invention responds to this double problem of profilers, flexibility and time delivery, becoming their own pre-lacquer, which allows a drastic reduction in stocks of pre-coated coils upstream of the installation, which are replaced by unpainted coils. The size of the stock in front of the line can be reduced by around 10 times, and by substantial reductions in storage and locked-in money plus the economy of supplier margin.

Le but de la présente invention est de réaliser une installation rassemblée en une unité compacte de l'ordre de 20 à 40 m selon les options. Les composants de l'installation sont connus en soit, individuellement, mais leur réunion permet de réaliser une opération de pré-laquage de qualité égale ou supérieure à celle obtenue avec les installations existantes.The object of the present invention is to provide a installation assembled in a compact unit of the order of 20 to 40 m depending on the options. The components of the installation are known per se, individually, but their meeting makes it possible to carry out a pre-lacquering operation of equal or greater quality than that obtained with existing facilities.

Un autre but de l'invention, au moyen de cette installation, est sans nécessairement les exclure, est de supprimer certaines étapes obligatoires mentionnées plus haut dans les systèmes conventionnels, telles que le pré-traitement du support, les incinérateurs de fumée, accumulateurs d'entrée et de sorties etc... Grâce à cette installation, il n'y a plus de génération de pollution, ni de risque d'explosions ni d'incendies.Another object of the invention, by means of this installation, is without necessarily excluding them, is to delete some mandatory steps mentioned more high in conventional systems, such as pre-treatment support, smoke incinerators, input and output accumulators etc ... Thanks to this installation, there is no more generation of pollution, nor risk of explosion or fire.

Enfin, un autre but de l'invention est la réalisation d'une installation permettant des vitesses de production comprise entre 10 à 50 m/min ce qui est en harmonie avec les vitesses des machines des profileurs.Finally, another object of the invention is the production an installation allowing production speeds between 10 to 50 m / min which is in harmony with the speeds of the profiling machines.

Facultativement, au moyen d'une unité supplémentaire on peut mettre en oeuvre la réalisation double face sans accroissement notable de la longueur de l'ensemble.Optionally, using an additional unit we can implement the double-sided realization without notable increase in the length of the assembly.

Des études de faisabilité d'une telle installation ont été faites et ont permis de conclure à la possibilité de réaliser des installations qui peuvent produire annuellement et par poste jusqu'à 8500 tonnes de bobines pré-laquées. La rentabilité du système est non seulement liée à l'économie d'achat du support non peint, mais plus principalement à la souplesse de production du support pré-laqué, conduisant à une réduction importante des stocks devant installation, et de la réduction du coût de ce stockage. Feasibility studies for such an installation have been made and have concluded that the possibility to realize installations which can produce annually and by post up to 8,500 tonnes of coils pre-lacquered. The profitability of the system is not only linked to the economy of purchasing unpainted support, but more mainly to the production flexibility of the pre-lacquered support, leading to a significant reduction in stocks before installation, and reducing the cost of this storage.

Pour que l'invention puise être mieux comprise référence est faite au dessin accompagnant représentant un schéma d'une installation de pré-laquage selon l'invention.So that the invention can be better understood reference is made to the accompanying drawing representing a diagram of a pre-lacquering installation according to the invention.

L'installation de ligne compacte de pré-laquage selon l'invention est décrite dans la revendication 1.Installation of a compact pre-lacquering line according to the invention is described in claim 1.

Les étapes du procédé au moyen de cette installation consistent, dans l'ordre chronologique à:

  • 1. procéder au déroulement d'une bobine nue de support;
  • 2. appliquer de la peinture en poudre par voie électrostatique;
  • 3. procéder à la cuisson de l'ensemble support et poudre de peinture par infra-rouge, de préférence selon le procédé NIR (Near Infra-Red, c.-à-d. dans l'infra-rouge proche);
  • 4. refroidir et sécher au moyen d'un refroidisseur à eau et d'un sécheur de bande servant à refroidir ce support enduit de peinture
  • 5. ré-enrouler le support sous forme de bobine.
    • The stages of the process using this installation consist, in chronological order:
  • 1. unwind a bare support coil;
  • 2. apply powder paint electrostatically;
  • 3. bake the entire support and paint powder by infrared, preferably according to the NIR process (Near Infra-Red, ie in the near infrared);
  • 4. cool and dry using a water cooler and a band dryer to cool this paint-coated support
  • 5. rewind the support in the form of a reel.

    • Le mode de réalisation préféré de l'installation de pré-laquage selon l'invention sera maintenant décrit en se référant au dessin accompagnant. Elle est du type ligne de déroulement et enroulement à bande tendue horizontale.The preferred embodiment of the installation of pre-lacquering according to the invention will now be described in referring to the accompanying drawing. It is of the line type unwinding and winding with horizontal tensioned band.

    La bande de support est déroulée dans une unité de déroulement (1) et passe dans un décintreuse (2) où elle est redressée et de là elle passe successivement dans une cabine d'enduction de peinture en poudre (3) fonctionnant selon le procédé de poudrage électrostatique, un four de cuisson NIR (4), puis une unité de refroidissement et de séchage (5) avant d'être ré-enroulée dans une unité de ré-enroulement (6).The support strip is unwound in a unit of unrolling (1) and pass through a trimmer (2) where it is straightened and from there it passes successively into a powder coating booth (3) operating according to the electrostatic powdering process, a NIR cooking (4), then a cooling and drying (5) before being rewound in a rewinding unit (6).

    Ces diverses unités sont bien connues des spécialistes et ne doivent pas être décrites en détails ici.These various units are well known to specialists and need not be described in detail here.

    La cabine de poudrage électrostatique (3) est un ensemble fermé et équipé d'un système d'aspiration et de recyclage de peinture via un cyclone. L'extraction et le rejet de l'atmosphère résiduelle se fait dans un hall via une batterie de filtres. Le recouvrement de peinture est réalisé par pistolage électrostatique à minimum d'air. L'ensemble est compact et autonome, et est conçu pour permettre un chargement de couleur rapide. L'équipement sera conçu pour permettre l'application d'un revêtement d'épaisseur de 60 µ nominale aux vitesses spécifiées. Les dimensions habituelles seront ; longueur 4 à 6m, largeur 1 à 3m, hauteur 2,5m à 3m.The electrostatic powder coating booth (3) is a closed assembly and equipped with a suction and recycling of paint via a cyclone. Extraction and rejection of the residual atmosphere takes place in a hall via a battery of filters. The paint overlay is achieved by minimum air electrostatic spraying. The set is compact and autonomous, and is designed to allow fast color loading. The equipment will be designed to allow the application of a coating nominal thickness 60 µ at specified speeds. The usual dimensions will be; length 4 to 6m, width 1 at 3m, height 2.5m to 3m.

    Le Four de Cuisson NIR est basé sur une cuisson à Infra Rouge de longueur d'onde très courte p.ex. (2,5 µm) (infra rouge proche) qui permet de réaliser la cuisson en des temps de 1 à 4 secondes, et il ne nécessite donc que 2m de longueur de radiateurs pour une vitesse de 50m/min. L'avantage premier de ce système outre sa faible longueur, réside dans le fait que la cuisson se réalise dans la masse de la peinture elle même, sans échauffement excessif de la masse du support (acier par exemple) à l'inverse d'autres techniques comme l'induction par exemple. La puissance installée est importante de l'ordre de 900 KVA, et nécessite un refroidissement des éléments IR du fait de la chaleur dégagée. Un dispositif de mesure régule la température de la bande.The NIR Cooking Oven is based on Very short wavelength infrared e.g. (2.5 µm) (near infrared) which allows cooking to be carried out times of 1 to 4 seconds, so it only requires 2m length of radiators for a speed of 50m / min. The primary advantage of this system besides its short length, lies in the fact that the cooking takes place in the mass of the paint itself, without excessive heating of the mass of the support (steel for example) unlike others techniques like induction for example. The power installed is significant in the order of 900 KVA, and requires cooling of the IR elements due to the heat released. A measuring device regulates the strip temperature.

    Le rayonnement des lampes impose un capotage suffisant de même qu'une aspiration des fumées aux extrémités.The radiation from the lamps requires a rollover sufficient as well as a fume extraction ends.

    Le système est mis hors service lors de l'arrêt de la bande ce qui réalise une économie d'énergie. Tous les éléments de commande sont regroupés dans une armoire de commande et synchronisés pour la marche en ligne.The system is put out of service when the tape which saves energy. All control elements are grouped in a cabinet control and synchronized for online walking.

    Le refroidisseur à eau (5) a été choisi pour des raisons d'efficacité comparé au refroidisseur à air. Il permet également de participer au refroidissement des éléments chauffants du four NIR.The water cooler (5) was chosen for reasons of efficiency compared to the air cooler. he also helps to cool the NIR oven heating elements.

    L'ensemble est en INOX, par exemple, et comprend un rouleau d'entrée poli permettant un léger embarrage de la bande, évitant un écoulement d'eau vers l'amont. Il comprend une série de rampes à pulvérisations alimentées par une pompe de circulation à fort débit. Les rampes sont suivies d'une paire d'essoreurs et d'un sécheur à air à lame. La longueur de l'ensemble sera de l'ordre de 3 m. Un réfrigérant extérieur est prévu pour maintenir la température d'eau dans des limites bien définies.The set is made of INOX, for example, and includes a polished entry roller allowing a slight embarrassment of the strip, preventing a flow of water upstream. he includes a series of powered spray booms by a high flow circulation pump. The ramps are followed by a pair of wringers and an air dryer blade. The length of the assembly will be of the order of 3 m. A outdoor refrigerant is provided to maintain the water temperature within well defined limits.

    Le support métallique employé sous forme de bobines peut être en acier galvanisé Z 275 ou de l'Aluzinc AZ 150 traités SPT. La présente invention est prévue avec le dépôt d'un film sec (SPT) assurant le bon accrochage peinture, une section de pré-traitement peut-être dans la l'installation. The metallic support used in the form of coils can be galvanized steel Z 275 or Aluzinc AZ 150 SPT treaties. The present invention is intended with the filing a dry film (SPT) ensuring good paint adhesion, a pre-treatment section maybe in the installation.

    La peinture est de caractéristique définie pour la cuisson NIR dans les temps requis. La résine, de base de ces peintures est du type polyester de qualité extérieure, c'est - à - dire répondant aux normes de l'ECCA. Elle est appliquée en épaisseurs d'environ 60 micromètres (µ), et elle peut être de finition lisse ou texturée.The paint is of characteristic defined for the NIR cooking in the required time. Resin, the base of these paints are of the exterior quality polyester type, that is, meets ECCA standards. She is applied in thicknesses of approximately 60 micrometers (µ), and it can be smooth or textured.
