Continuous Polymerization And Direct Fiber Spinning And Apparatus For Accomplishing Same

US Patent:
6441109, Aug 27, 2002
Filed:
Dec 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/475675
Inventors:
Dominick A. Burlone - Asheville NC
Matthew B. Hoyt - Brownstown Township MI
John A. Hodan - Arden NC
Richard Kotek - Raleigh NC
Carol W. Morgan - Asheville NC
Randall A. Sferrazza - Asheville NC
Fang A. Wang - Arden NC
Otto M. Ilg - Asheville NC
Terry D. Roberts - Candler NC
Ronald G. Morrow - Enka NC
Assignee:
BASF Corporation - Mt. Olive NJ
International Classification:
C08F 201
US Classification:
526 65, 526 88, 422131, 422134, 422191, 422193
Abstract:
Continuous anionic polymerization and melt-spinning of a polycaprolactam includes forming a reaction mixture by bringing at least two streams of liquid caprolactam respectively containing a polymerization initiator and co-initiator into contact with one another, and then subjecting the reaction mixture to anionic polymerization reaction conditions to obtain a molten polycaprolactam. The molten polycaprolactam is the directly (i. e. , without intermediate solidification) transferred to, and extruded through, a fiber-forming orifice of a spinneret to form a fiber thereof. One exemplary system to achieve such continuous anionic polymerization and melt-spinning of polycaprolactam includes a mixer for receiving and mixing at least two streams of liquid caprolactam respectively containing a polymerization initiator and co-initiator, and a reactor and melt-spinning apparatus downstream of the mixer. The reactor and melt-spinning apparatus most preferably is formed of multiple plates which establish a reactor zone having a flow path for the reaction mixture which is sized and configured to achieve a predetermined residence time of the reaction mixture therein, and a temperature control zone in thermal communication with the reactor plate for controlling the temperature of the reaction plate to achieve anionic polymerization reaction conditions while the reaction mixture is flowing along the defined flow path therein to obtain the molten polycaprolactam. A spinneret zone downstream of the reactor zone thus receives the molten polycaprolactam directly and forms a fiber therefrom by extruding it through the spinnerets fiber-spinning orifice.

US Patent:
6447703, Sep 10, 2002
Filed:
Jun 22, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/599458
Inventors:
David M. Waddington - Easley SC
Ann S. Johnson - Central SC
Randall A. Sferrazza - Asheville NC
Assignee:
BASF Corporation - Mount Olive NJ
International Classification:
D01D 516
US Classification:
264103, 28247, 28271, 2642108, 26421112, 26421114, 425 66, 425 722, 425104, 425377, 4253791, 4253822, 425445, 425464
Abstract:
Processes and apparatus are provided whereby the morphology of bulked continuous filament (BCF) yarns can be variably controlled. More specifically, according to the present invention, the BCF yarn is melt-spun, drawn and textured, most preferably in a one-step spin-draw-texture (SDT) process, wherein prior to texturing, the yarn is subjected to a differential temperature condition. Most preferably, such differential temperature condition is accomplished using the duo rolls employed in drawing the BCF, such that one of the rolls is maintained at a greater temperature as compared to the other of the rolls. Most preferably, it is the upstream-most roll (relative to the general conveyance path of the filament toward the texturizer) which is the hotter of the duo rolls.

Carpet Recycling Process And System

US Patent:
55359450, Jul 16, 1996
Filed:
Feb 27, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/395506
Inventors:
Randall A. Sferrazza - Arden NC
Alan C. Handermann - Asheville NC
Cecil H. Atwell - Brevard NC
David K. Yamamoto - Paris, CA
Assignee:
BASF Corportion - Mt. Olive NJ
Shred-Tech Limited - Cambridge
International Classification:
B02C 1912
B02C 2308
US Classification:
241 2412
Abstract:
Process and system for reclaiming polymeric fibers (e. g. , nylon) from post-consumer carpeting includes shredding the post-consumer carpeting into strips, dismantling the carpet strips to form a mixture of the fibers to be reclaimed and the backing material to be discarded, and then separating a substantial portion of the fibers from the backing material. Preferably, the carpet strips are dismantled by impacting the strips of carpeting against an anvil structure with hammer elements using, e. g. , a hammermill. A secondary reclamation system is provided whereby the separated backing material which may contain some fibers bound thereto is subjected to secondary dismantling and separation operations. The fractions obtained from the primary and secondary separation operations containing predominantly the polymeric fibers may thus be combined so as to form a process discharge stream which can be pelletized and/or baled as desired.
