Abstract

A bottle forming unit and method for dry-forming a cellulose bottle from an air-formed cellulose blank structure in a bottle forming unit. The dry-formed cellulose bottle comprises a neck portion, a closed bottom portion, and a mid-portion arranged between the closed bottom portion and the neck portion. The mid-portion is arranged in fluid communication with the neck portion. The dry-formed cellulose blank structure is shaped into a shaped cellulose blank structure, where the shaped cellulose blank structure has a tube-like configuration with an inner surface and an outer surface. A first section of the shaped cellulose blank structure is fed to a first forming mould and a semi-closed bottom portion of the cellulose bottle is formed from the first section in the first forming mould, simultaneously with forming the neck portion of a directly preceding cellulose bottle from the first section in the first forming mould. A following second section of the shaped cellulose blank structure is fed to the first forming mould and the neck portion of the cellulose bottle is formed from the second section in the first forming mould, simultaneously with forming a semi-closed bottom portion of a directly following cellulose bottle from the second section in the first forming mould.

Abstract

A method and system for edge-forming cellulose products from an air-formed cellulose blank structure. The system comprises a first mould part having an edge-forming device with a protruding element configured for compacting and separating fibres of the cellulose blank structure and a second mould part arranged for cooperating with each other. The edge-forming device is movably arranged in relation to a base structure of the first mould part, and is adapted for interacting with a pressure member arranged in the base structure. The method includes the steps: providing the air-formed cellulose blank structure, and forming a compacted edge structure of the cellulose products by separating fibres of the cellulose blank structure with the protruding element, applying an edge-forming temperature, and compacting the cellulose blank structure by applying an edge-forming pressure onto the cellulose blank structure between the protruding element and the second mould part.

Abstract

A multi-cavity forming mould system for forming a plurality of discrete three-dimensional cellulose products from an air-formed cellulose blank structure. The forming mould system includes a first mould part and a second mould part arranged for cooperating with each other during forming of the cellulose products. The first mould part includes a plurality of first forming elements and the second mould part comprises a plurality of corresponding second forming elements movably arranged in relation to a base structure of the second mould part. The forming mould system is configured for establishing a plurality of forming cavities for the cellulose blank structure between each first forming element and corresponding second forming element during formation of the cellulose products. Each second forming element is arranged for interacting with a pressure member arranged in the base structure, where the pressure member is configured for establishing a forming pressure in each forming cavity onto the cellulose blank structure during formation of the cellulose products.

Abstract

A dry-forming mould system and method for dry-forming a cellulose product from an air-formed cellulose blank structure. The dry-forming mould system comprises a first mould part and an opposing second mould part configured for cooperating with each other in a pressing direction upon forming of the cellulose product. The first mould part and the second mould part are configured for being pressed together in the pressing direction in a first pressing stroke to apply a forming pressure onto the cellulose blank structure. A flexible cutting element with a cutting edge configured for operating in the pressing direction is releasably attached to the first mould part, and the second mould part comprises an anvil plate arranged to cooperate with the cutting edge of the flexible cutting element. The flexible cutting element is configured for cutting out the cellulose product from the cellulose blank structure by pressing the cutting edge towards and in contact with the anvil plate with a predetermined cutting force, simultaneously with the first pressing stroke or in a second pressing stroke in the pressing direction after start of the first pressing stroke.

Abstract

A method for edge-forming cellulose products in a forming mould system, and a forming mould system (S), where the forming mould system is adapted for forming the cellulose products from an air- formed cellulose blank structure (2). The forming mould system comprises a first mould part (3) and a second mould part (4) arranged for cooperating with each other. The first mould part comprises an edge-forming device (5) with a protruding element (5a) configured for compacting and separating fibres of the cellulose blank structure. The edge-forming device is movably arranged in relation to a base structure (3a) of the first mould part, and the edge-forming device is adapted for interacting with a pressure member (6) arranged in the base structure. The method comprises the steps: providing the air- formed cellulose blank structure, and arranging the cellulose blank structure between the first mould part and the second mould part; forming a compacted edge structure of the cellulose products by separating fibres of the cellulose blank structure with the protruding element, applying an edge-forming temperature onto the cellulose blank structure, and compacting the cellulose blank structure by applying an edge-forming pressure by means of the pressure member onto the cellulose blank structure between the protruding element and the second mould part.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cellulose product having a flat or non-flat product shape by a pressure moulding apparatus comprising a forming mould. The forming mould has a forming surface defining said product shape, The method comprises the steps of: arranging a cellulose blank containing less than 45 weight percent water in said forming mould; heating said cellulose blank to a forming temperature in the range of 100° C. to 200° C.; and pressing said cellulose blank by means of said forming mould with a forming pressure acting on the cellulose blank across said forming surface, said forming pressure being in the range of 1 MPa to 100 MPa.
