Description

The present invention relates to a method for producing a grass fibre-containing liquid packaging board, such as a beverage packaging board, and use thereof, for example, for producing a beverage packaging, such as a beverage cup, which in particular can be easily recycled and composted.


Methods for producing beverage packagings are known in the prior art. However, due to the production of the board for example as a composite material, they have the disadvantage that the fibres used herein cannot be reprocessed or can only be reprocessed with difficulty and are usually only suitable for thermal recovery.


The object of the present invention is to at least partly improve the disadvantages known in the prior art and in particular to provide a beverage packaging board which is produced, amongst other things, from grass-containing fibres and on account of its production and/or processing can be used directly as packaging material for liquids such as beverages, and can be easily recycled so that the fibres contained herein can be used again or alternatively can be easily composted.


This object is achieved by the method for producing a liquid packaging board according to claim 1 and the reprocessing or use thereof for the production, for example, of a beverage packaging such as a beverage cup. Preferred embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.


The method according to the invention for producing a grass fibre-containing liquid packaging board has the following steps, specifically:

    • providing a fibre suspension formed from at least one first and second pulp type, wherein the first pulp type is constituted by grass fibres and the second pulp type is selected from a group of pulps which comprise primary fibres, such as chemical pulp, for example sulphate pulp or sulphite pulp, in each case based on long-fibre wood or short-fibre wood, wood pulp, and synthetic fibres or recycled fibres based on one or more recycled paper classifications,
    • mixing and/or swelling the fibres in the pulp suspension under predefined conditions in respect of material density and temperature,
    • grinding the at least two pulp types together in a predefined pulp suspension between 0.1% and 15% to a degree of dewatering between 40° SR and 70° SR, in particular 40° SR and 60° SR,
    • adding starch and/or a sizing agent as an additive in the mass,
    • diluting the pulp suspension and producing a board on a paper machine,
    • surface sizing the board using at least one starch-containing suspension, and
    • drying the paper structure to a dry content between 4% and 17%.


The method according to the invention, in accordance with a further embodiment, is characterised in that the pulp suspension, in particular prior to the swelling of the fibres, has a material density between 1% and 10%, in particular between 2% and 8%, and in particular between 3% and 6%.


The proportion of the first pulp type in the finished board, in accordance with a preferred embodiment, lies between more than 0% and less than 100%, preferably between 10% and 50%, and in particular is 30%.


The proportion of the second pulp type in the finished board, in accordance with a preferred embodiment, is accordingly between less than 100% and greater than 0%, preferably between 90% and 50%, and in particular is 70%.


The second pulp type is preferably a mixture of 10% to 60% short-fibre chemical pulp, such as birch, bamboo or bagasse pulp, and 90% to 40% long-fibre pulp, such as spruce or pine sulphate pulp.


In accordance with the invention the mixing and/or the swelling are preferably performed at a predefined material density, which in particular lies in a range between 1% and 10%, over a period of time between 2 minutes and 10 minutes, in particular between 4 and 8 minutes, and preferably at a temperature between 10° C. and 70° C.


The starch used with preference in the present method is a potato, maize or wheat starch, in particular a cationic or anionically modified starch.


In particular, a resin size, preferably reinforced or unreinforced, or a synthetic sizing agent, such as alkyl ketene dimer (AKD), alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA), stearic acid or fluoroorganic compounds (FC), is used in particular as sizing agent for hydrophobing the cellulose fibres, and is more preferably combined with a natural or synthetic polymer.


The board produced on the paper machine preferably has a mass per unit area between 35 g/m2 and 600 g/m2, preferably between 250 g/m2 and 300 g/m2, and in particular, a mass per unit area of 270 g/m2.


The surface sizing is performed in particular using at least one starch suspension, wherein the starch suspension in accordance with a further embodiment comprises at least one further additive which is selected from the group comprising carboxymethyl cellulose, glyoxal, polymer sizing agent, dry strength agent, wet strength agent, resin size, and synthetic sizing agents.


The fibres are preferably ground together, however, it is not out of the question that parts of the pulp or pulp types are pre-ground separately. The grinding, in particular the fibrillating grinding, is performed using a grinding machine, such as a Hollander beater with a power of 200 kW, a Papillon Refiner with a power between 100 and 3600 kW, a single-disc refiner, a twin-disc refiner, a twin-refiner, a flat cone crusher, a steep cone crusher with a power between 90 kW and 2800 kW, or a disc mill with a power between 315 kW and 2500 kW. Here, the grinding can be performed continuously or in batches, and individual machines from the aforementioned selection can be combined in a series or a plurality of the same machines can be connected in series.


The objective is to provide the gentlest grinding possible, in which the fibres are shortened only to a limited extent, but nevertheless enlarged in respect of their active surface. This is achieved by what is known as fibrillating grinding, in which the fibres are preferably crushed so that additional binding-active surface regions are provided for the paper or board production. In order to achieve this grinding, a high grinding energy is introduced into the pulp, wherein the pulp then also has to be cooled here between the individual grinding stages as appropriate, or alternatively the material density of the pulp is reduced.


The second pulp is selected from a group of pulps which comprises natural chemical pulps, such as cotton, refiner mechanical pulp (RMP), chemi refiner mechanical pulp (CRMP or CMP) or chemi-thermomechanical pulp (CTMP), pressurised refiner mechanical pulp (PRMP), semi-chemical pulp, high-yield chemical pulp, chemical pulp, alkaline pulp such as sulphate pulp or sulphite pulp, all of the aforementioned pulps as fresh fibres or also as recycled fibres, such as recycled paper preferably of the medium or high grades in accordance with EN 643:2001, group 2 or group 3.


In accordance with a further alternative embodiment of the present invention, the pulp is dispersed prior to the grinding. For the dispersion with a disperser, the individual fibres of the pulp suspension are separated from one another to the greatest possible extent and the fibre surfaces, as appropriate, are also cleaned and/or expanded and foreign particles in the pulp suspension are size-reduced or distributed as uniformly as possible.


In accordance with a further alternative embodiment of the present invention, the board is smoothed in the paper machine and/or offline by means of a calender, for example a soft nip calender, supercalender, multi-nip calender, shoe calender, metal band calender or friction calender, under predefined conditions in respect of the temperature, compressive stress, duration, number of nips, elastic properties of the rollers and the web moisture.

For the further processing of the previously described board, this is brushed or coated partially or fully on the upper and/or lower side with a sealing lacquer, in particular a hot sealing lacquer, prior to the further processing.


Here, the hot sealing lacquer is also used, as appropriate, for integrally bonded connection of the board, in particular for connection of the side walls and/or the base of a beverage cup.


Here, the sealing lacquer is preferably a synthetic resin dispersion with a milky, liquid appearance, the film properties of which mean that it is flexibly elastic, transparent and suitable for hot sealing, and has a blocking tendency at 40° C. The solids content lies preferably in a range between 45 and 48%, and the viscosity lies in a range measured according to DIN cup 4 mm between 50 and 60 sec.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a practical example for the grass-containing liquid container 1, in which the board according to the invention has been used to produce a bowl for food, in particular moist food. The area density of the board for producing the model was 300 g/m2. In FIG. 1, a view from above is shown, and in FIG. 2 a view from below is shown, wherein the base surface 5 is delimited by the side faces 3, 6, 8 and 10. In the overlap regions, of which positions 2, 4 and 7 can be seen in the illustration, the faces have been connected in an integrally bonded manner by means of the used sealing lacquer. This results in a water-resistant bowl form, with a hydrophobic surface, which only experiences water permeability after 4 hours. The edge region of the overlap between the side faces 7 and 10 can also be seen at reference sign 9.





Alternative embodiments, such as coffee cups and the like, can of course also be produced from a corresponding material, wherein here the overlap regions are also connected in an integrally bonded manner using sealing lacquer (for example base and sides in the case of a cylindrical basic form).


The corresponding board was produced as follows:

    • Pulp composition: grass fibres 30%, long-fibre pulp 70%.
    • Pulp preparation: 5 minutes swelling of the pulp at 25° C. and continuous mixing and a material density of 5%. Subsequent griding of the pulp using a flat cone refiner and with an energy input of 2000 kW to a degree of dewatering of 55° SR. Addition of 2% cationic starch as additive in the mass and dilution of the pulp suspension to 0.5% material density to produce the board web on a paper machine.
    • Surface sizing of the board web in an online size press, wherein the size liquor has a material density of 10% and comprises starch and AKD as sizing agent.
    • Drying of the board web to a residual moisture content of 7%


The corresponding board web was cut in order to produce the food bowl and, prior to folding, was coated with a sealing lacquer in an application amount of 10 g/m2, so that the overlap regions were connected in an integrally bonded manner to the sealing lacquer. The food bowl thus produced has a Kit value of 6.3 and can be used both for moist and very moist food. Moisture penetration occurs only in a time period of more than 4 hours. It is particularly advantageous that not only can primary pulp be spared due to the selected pulp composition, but that a fully recyclable or compostable packaging system is provided in comparison to food packaging known from the prior art.
