Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of digital printing paper production equipment, and in particular to a low-quantity digital printing paper production line and a process thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing urgency of environmental protection tasks and the continuous strengthening of the concept of sustainable development, the global printing and dyeing industry is also in urgent need of seeking technological innovation. Digital printing transfer printing technology has emerged to replace traditional printing and dyeing, which can solve the environmental problem of large amounts of wastewater generated by printing and dyeing. Digital transfer technology is to print computer-made patterns and texts on paper with an inkjet printer, and then contact the paper surface with the printed pattern with the substrate. Under a certain temperature and pressure, the ink on the paper sublimates into a gaseous state, penetrates into the surface of the substrate, and forms a pattern after condensation. In this process, the paper that acts as an ink carrier and transfer is called thermal sublimation digital transfer printing paper, also known as digital printing paper. With the increasing speed of digital printing, the increasingly fierce market competition, and the increasingly strong pursuit of the beauty and saturation of printed colors, low-quantity digital printing paper has become an inevitable trend. Low-quantity digital printing paper has a low ash content, tightly interwoven fibers, and good ink transfer. And low roughness and absorbency and moderate air permeability have a significant effect on improving ink capacity and transfer rate.
[0003] In the prior art, the production process of low quantitative printing paper is improved by improving the transfer coating and adding high cationic polymers, which can enhance the absorption of ink by the coating surface and prevent the ink from penetrating into the paper fibers, so that the capacity and transfer rate of the transfer ink can be effectively improved. After the high cationic polymer is prepared, it is moved to another mixing device and mixed with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) for preparation, but the mixing preparation is increased from one mixing preparation to two mixing preparation devices, which increases the mixing preparation process.

[0051] The present invention discloses a manufacturing process of a low-quantity printing paper production line, comprising the following steps:
[0052] The pulp selects bleached coniferous wood pulp and bleached broadleaved wood pulp as the main fiber raw materials. After the pulp is formed into a paper sheet, it passes through a pressing roller to remove excess water and enters the drying module 2 for drying. After drying in the drying module 2, the dried paper sheet enters the sizing module 1 for transfer coating and paper sheet combination, and detects the sizing amount, film forming property, water absorption and other indicators of the sizing agent under different states; according to the requirements of the sizing barrier performance, select the appropriate coating method such as brush type, scraper type, air knife type, scraper type, roller type, etc. to ensure that the paper has good uniformity, barrier and water permeability and other characteristics;
[0053] The high cationic polymer and transfer coating are prepared inside the production mixing tank 3. The high cationic polymer has a low monomer residual rate, a high cationic charge density, good fluidity and storage stability; the ultra-low viscosity, high substitution degree modified CMC has a viscosity of only 500mPas at a concentration of 20%, and the coating has good fluidity and coverage, and the transfer effect is also relatively ideal. The low viscosity replaces the high viscosity CMC to not only increase the solid content of the coating, but also effectively prevent ink penetration;
[0054] In the production mixing tank 3, the monomer A and monomer B are first subjected to redox reaction with distilled water to form a high cationic polymer. The monomer A homopolymer has good film-forming properties, and the monomer B homopolymer has a high cationic degree. The ratio of monomer A to monomer B is 7:3. Since the coating is negatively charged, during printing, the anionic thermal sublimation transfer ink is blocked by the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose film and mainly stays on the coating, which is also the basis for the subsequent good digital transfer effect. However, since the ink and the coating have the same charge polarity, the rate at which the ink penetrates into the coating is relatively slow. In other words, after printing, the drying of the ink is mainly carried out in two ways: the volatilization of the ink solvent and the penetration into the paper coating. Under the premise of a certain volatilization rate, the speed at which the ink solvent penetrates into the coating directly determines the drying rate of the printing. Obviously, the electrostatic repulsion of the anionic sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as a coating is not conducive to the drying of the ink. This project appropriately adjusts the surface charge of the coating by adding a homemade high-cationic copolymer, and utilizes the high adsorption of high specific surface area and large pore volume pigments to improve the capacity and drying speed of the digital transfer ink.
[0055] Production mixing tank 3 then adds sodium carboxymethyl cellulose CMC, silicon dioxide, and distilled water for mixing. The reason why the high cationic copolymer can improve the drying rate of the ink is mainly due to the adsorption of the opposite charges of the ink. However, as the addition ratio increases, the transfer effect will be significantly worse, which may be due to the fact that the high cationic copolymer tends to diffuse into the interior of the paper fiber. Considering all factors, the addition amount of the high cationic polymer is 10%;
[0056] The addition of porous silica aerogel can significantly increase the drying rate of the ink, and as its addition amount increases relative to sodium carboxymethyl cellulose powder, the drying rate of the ink gradually increases. This is because the surface hydroxyl groups of silica and its own large pore volume have higher adsorption and accommodation capacity for thermal sublimation ink than polymer materials. However, as the addition amount of silica continues to increase to more than 3%, ink bleeding gradually occurs during transfer. The macroscopic manifestation is the appearance of randomly distributed small ink spots on the coating surface of the thermal transfer paper after transfer. This may be due to the fact that the binding force of silica on the ink is greater than the escape force of the ink under thermal sublimation during transfer. Therefore, considering the comprehensive factors such as ink drying time, transfer effect and production cost, the addition amount of silica is 2%-3%;
[0057] The viscosity of high molecular weight and high degree of substitution CMC is already very high at low concentrations. It is not feasible to reduce the overall moisture content in the coating by increasing the solid content. The coating with 20% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose CMC has good fluidity and coverage, and the transfer effect is also ideal.
[0058] After the transfer coating and paper sheet are combined in the sizing module 1, they enter the drying module 2 for drying. Since the digital transfer paper is coated with a thermal sublimation transfer coating on the front of the base paper, mainly a coating based on CMC adhesive, the paper is prone to warping toward the front during production and use. Therefore, it is necessary to perform correction coating on the back of the paper to balance the stress of the paper.
[0059] In the second embodiment, on the basis of the first embodiment, ethanol is used to partially replace distilled water as the solvent. On the one hand, the density of ethanol is slightly smaller than that of distilled water, and ethanol can reduce the viscosity of the system at the same coating concentration; on the other hand, because ethanol has a certain volatility, it can combine with a certain amount of water molecules to break away from the constraints of the glue during the drying and volatilization process, thereby increasing the drying rate of the paper.
[0060] Working principle of the first embodiment: The project team has conducted a lot of research on the low gram weight of digital transfer paper, ink capacity, transfer effect, drying rate, etc. The research results show that the use of low viscosity to replace high viscosity sodium carboxymethyl cellulose CMC can increase the solid content of the coating and improve the drying rate. The addition of volatile amphoteric solvents can increase the drying rate of the transfer paper coating. The addition of self-made high cationic polymers and macroporous inorganic fillers can significantly shorten the capacity of thermal sublimation ink after printing and obtain good transfer effect.
[0061] Low-weight heavy-ink digital printing paper requires that the paper can quickly absorb aqueous solvents. In order to improve the paper's ability to accommodate and quickly absorb aqueous solvents, the paper is required to have a loose and porous structure and to have high strength. This project adds self-designed water channel composite materials, and adds sizing agents, wet strength agents, dry strength agents, etc., to study the effects of various chemical dosages, usage processes, etc. on the quality properties of base paper such as porosity, smoothness, and absorbency, as well as ink capacity, drying rate, and transfer effects. The water molecule channel is modified and constructed by composite inorganic fillers. The water molecule channel is a three-dimensional network channel structure obtained by coupling inorganic fillers and microcrystalline cellulose-chitosan through a coupling agent. The inorganic filler is a combination of two fillers with different structural shapes, including lamellar calcined kaolin and polyhedral fumed silica. Try to design and construct enough cavities, and effectively connect microcrystalline cellulose with different cavities to ensure the accommodation space and penetration function of aqueous solvent molecules. Composite materials formed by carboxymethyl chitosan or cationic starch with kaolin and fumed silica particles can be effectively and tightly adsorbed on the surface of pulp fibers, and entangled with pulp fibers, which can retain the structural gaps of cellulose molecules. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically study the relationship between the structure and performance of water molecule channel composite materials formed by different combinations of kaolin and fumed silica particles, and the types and combinations of chitosan or cationic starch, so as to have a deeper understanding of the relationship between structural morphological changes and the accommodation space and penetration function of aqueous solvents. The inorganic filler is two or more of kaolin and silica. Kaolin is mainly lamellar, and silica is polyhedral. The combination of the two is coupled with chitosan, cationic starch, and microcrystalline cellulose to form a composite material; the water molecule channel is a three-dimensional network channel formed by the composite of layered and spherical inorganic fillers and microcrystalline cellulose-chitosan; the water molecule channel is connected to the pulp fiber through the sizing agent resin of the composite material. The water molecule channel can effectively solve the sealing effect of the sizing agent resin on the paper fiber layer and its gaps, and achieve the purpose of ink accommodation and transfer.
[0062] In the water channel composite material, microcrystalline cellulose-chitosan is connected to the cavities on the two types of inorganic fillers, namely, flaky and polyhedral ones. One end of the microcrystalline cellulose extends into the cavity, and the other end is outside the cavity. Since the connection angles of the microcrystalline cellulose and the cavity are different, when sizing the base paper, the sizing agent cannot fill the cavities of the layered inorganic fillers or the porous channels formed by the microcrystalline cellulose-chitosan, and will not completely close the water molecule channels. Therefore, the structure of the inorganic filler and the combination of the two fillers are designed to construct enough cavities as much as possible, and effectively connect different cavities through microcrystalline cellulose to ensure the accommodation space and penetration function of the aqueous solvent; the water molecule channel composite material is completed by composite modification of flaky and polyhedral inorganic fillers. Of course, other types of combinations can also be explored, or the design and combination can be carried out according to needs. The purpose is to increase the accommodation space of the aqueous solvent and the speed of penetration into the digital printing base paper, so that it can carry more transferred color inks to achieve higher requirements for color vividness and saturation, and enable the aqueous solvent molecules to better pass through the digital transfer base paper, thereby accelerating the drying speed of the digital transfer paper, further improving the application of digital transfer technology, and better realizing the improvement of digital transfer production efficiency.
[0063] Digital printing paper needs to have certain physical strength, good uniformity, small deformation and other characteristics, so it is necessary to effectively control the paper forming and surface sizing process, including flow conveying, dehydration, pressing, drying, surface sizing and other processes. The specific operating parameters of the paper machine that need to be controlled include: web concentration, vacuum degree of dehydration components, pressing line pressure, drying cylinder temperature and heating curve, surface sizing agent type and sizing process, etc.; through the study of process conditions, the optimal digital transfer base paper production technology is formed; because digital transfer paper is coated with thermal sublimation transfer coating on the front of the base paper, mainly with coatings based on CMC adhesives, the paper is prone to warping towards the front during production and use. Therefore, it is necessary to perform correction coating on the back of the paper to balance the stress of the paper;
[0064] Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is one of the main components of digital transfer paper coating. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) has a certain viscosity and swelling property after being dissolved in water, and has a certain film-forming property after coating. Therefore, it can stay on the surface of paper in the form of a coating when coated. In addition, since the swelling rate of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) coating is large after being wetted, and this swelling is conducive to the absorption of thermal sublimation ink by the coating surface, and can prevent the ink from penetrating into the paper fiber, it can effectively improve the capacity and transfer rate of transfer ink. However, with the increase of transfer speed, traditional high-viscosity sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) can no longer meet the requirements of ink drying and coating strength. Research and develop low-viscosity sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to replace high-viscosity sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Reducing the viscosity of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) can increase the solid content of the coating, shorten the drying time of paper, and improve production efficiency. High degree of substitution means high degree of carboxymethylation and high charge density. Since sodium carboxymethyl cellulose CMC has the same electrical properties as paper fibers, the coating can stay on the surface of the paper instead of penetrating into the interior of the paper after coating, which is beneficial to the subsequent digital transfer process. Similarly, the transfer ink is also anionic, and low-viscosity sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (abbreviated as CMC) is used as the main film-forming substance of the coating, which can not only increase the concentration of the coating to improve production efficiency, but also prevent the ink from penetrating into the interior of the paper fiber through greater electrostatic repulsion, so as to improve the transfer rate and meet higher requirements for color vividness and saturation.
[0065] In the production mixing tank 3, the production of high cationic polymer is first carried out, the ratio between monomer A and monomer B is 7:3, the redox reaction of monomer A and monomer B and distilled water, and then the bottom heating ring 301 is heated from the bottom, and the lower electric heating element 401 is heated from the middle to assist in heating to 50 degrees Celsius, add chain transfer agent, and then slowly heat to 70 degrees Celsius, monitor viscosity and keep warm, after reaching the viscosity requirement, the body is heated and the inhibitor is added, and then cooled to room temperature for discharging, the bottom heating ring 301 and the lower electric heating element 401 cooperate to heat the bottom and middle liquid, expand the heating range, speed up the heating speed, and improve the stability of temperature control;
[0066] The production mixing tank 3 can meet the production requirements of high cationic polymers and the mixing requirements of coating production. The production mixing tank 3 can also be discharged without discharging, and then low-viscosity CMC, silicon dioxide and distilled water are added. The two times are combined into one production. Low-viscosity CMC is used to replace high-viscosity CMC as the main film-forming material of the coating, which can increase the use concentration of the coating and help improve production efficiency. The final coating can also prevent ink from penetrating into the paper fiber through a large electrostatic repulsion effect, so as to improve the ink capacity and transfer rate.
[0067] Low viscosity CMC, silicon dioxide and distilled water are mixed in the production mixing tank 3. The upper driving motor 406 drives the middle rotating shaft 4 and the lower electric heating element 401, the outer spiral gear 402, the upper frame 403, the inner vertical bar 5 and the lower scraper 501 to rotate. The rotating outer spiral gear 402 guides the liquid in the middle liquid guide tube 302 to rise upward. The middle liquid guide tube 302 is connected to the bottom of the mixing tank 3 through the liquid inlet channel 303, guiding the liquid to enter the middle liquid guide tube 302 and rise upward. The upper frame 403 and the outer gear shaft 404 rotate synchronously in the circumferential direction. The outer gear shaft 404 engages with the lower gear ring 603 to rotate. The gear shaft 404 and the stirring blade 405 rotate synchronously, and the liquid outside the rotating stirring blade 405 flows downward, and the stirring blade 405 guides the liquid pushed up by the upper outer spiral teeth 402 to flow downward again. The cooperation of the outer spiral teeth 402 and the stirring blade 405 forms an upward and downward flowing circular ring flow, which promotes the uniform mixing of the liquid and meets the mixing requirements of the coating production. At the same time, the upward and downward reciprocating flow of the liquid continuously passes through the bottom heating ring 301 and the lower electric heating element 401, which is conducive to the uniform heating of the liquid, promotes the uniformity of the temperature of the liquid at each position, and meets the production requirements of high cationic polymers;
[0068] The inner vertical bar 5 rotates synchronously in a circular direction to stir the liquid. The inner vertical bar 5 and the lower scraper 501 fit the bottom heating ring 301 to prevent the liquid on the top of the bottom heating ring 301 from being in contact with the temperature being too high for a long time. The upper lifting and telescopic cylinder 601 shortens to support the upper lifting frame 6 and the lower connecting frame 602 and the lower gear ring 603 to move downward. The lower connecting frame 602 drives the upper frame body 403 to move downward synchronously. The upper frame body 403 drives the inner connecting support rod 503 to tilt toward the horizontal direction. The two eight-shaped inner connecting support rods 503 synchronously support the inner vertical bar 5 to The inner vertical bar 5 moves outwards, and during the discharging process, the inner vertical bar 5 expands outwards and slides in contact with the production mixing tank body 3, and the inner vertical bar 5 scrapes the liquid inside the production mixing tank body 3. The lower scraper 501 scrapes the liquid on the top of the bottom heating ring 301, accelerates the downward flow of the liquid inside the production mixing tank body 3, reduces the residual liquid inside the production mixing tank body 3 and the top of the bottom heating ring 301, reduces the cleaning burden of the production mixing tank body 3, and reduces the amount of waste caused by the cleaning of the residual liquid in the production mixing tank body 3, so as to meet the coating production mixing requirements.
