Definitions

  • This invention relates to a nonwoven web suitable to be used as a hot cooking oil filter media, and, more particularly, to an essentially pure cellulose nonwoven web formed from essentially continuous filaments and multibonded by merged filaments, hydrogen bonding and the physical intermingling of filaments.

  • U.S. 8,066,889 teaches the use of needlepunched polyester, while U.S. 20090250414 proposes the use of a nonwoven of polyester, polypropylene or nylon which shrinks in hot oil to a desired structure.

  • U.S. 9,498,932 discloses the use of multilayer meltblown synthetic polymers for filtering liquids.
  • Nonwoven substrates for hot cooking oil filter media has been the subject of much research, as the requirements are stringent and demanding.
  • the nonwoven must be able to withstand extended periods of time immersed in oil at a temperature up to 400° F (-205° C), must be approved by appropriate regulatory agencies for indirect food contact, must be able to filter particulates down to 1 micron, and must be able to remove sufficient particulates at realistic pressure drops to make the filtering process
  • nonwovens can be used for hot cooking oil filter media, including spunlace nonwovens, needlepunch nonwovens, airlaid nonwovens, wetlaid nonwovens, spunlaid nonwovens and chemical bonded nonwovens. All but spunlaid nonwovens employ primarily staple or cut fibres, or wood pulp. A spunlaid nonwoven consists of continuous filaments (either remaining as continuous or cut in the manufacturing process).
  • spunlaid nonwovens One issue with spunlaid nonwovens is the thermal stability of the polymers used in hot oil up to 400° F (205° C). Polypropylene melts below this temperature. Most manufacturers do not recommend using polyester or standard nylon at above 162° C, with only high temperature nylons like Nomex being useful at 204° C to 232° C.
  • the present invention relates to the use of specially designed nonwoven substrates produced using novel variants of the spunlaid nonwoven process, comprising essentially pure cellulose polymers.
  • spunlaid cellulose webs There are known methods and products using spunlaid cellulose webs.
  • Cooking oil is used in restaurants and in the food preparation industry for the cooking of various food items.
  • One common use for cooking oil is in the cooking process known as deep-fat frying.
  • Such frying is frequently carried out in containers of cooking oil, with the food to be cooked immersed in cooking oil that is heated to a temperature between about 250° F. and 400° F. (or about 121° C. and about 205° C).
  • the cooking oil becomes contaminated with suspended food particles, water, flour, breading, spices and other introduced
  • Conventional filtration devices generally operate by draining the cooking oil from the fryer into a filtration container and then cycling the cooking oil through a filter. Generally, when the filtration operation is begun, the cooking oil is at or near cooking temperature, and batch filtration continues until a subjective determination is made that the filtering process has achieved a desired result. After filtration, usually comprising multiple passes through the filter, the filtered cooking oil is returned to the fryer. It is not unusual for cooking oil to be filtered by passing it through a conventional filter for 30 minutes or longer. Depending on the amount of time elapsed during filtration, the cooking oil may be as much as 285° F. (140° C.) or more below cooking temperature when it is returned to the fryer. Consequently, the filtered oil must be heated to increase it to cooking temperature prior to resuming cooking operations.
  • Particulate removal is the purpose of filtration.
  • the efficiency of a specific filter material is measured by the size of the particulate material that it can filter, the amount of particulate that can be retained, and the volume of hot oil that can flow through the filter in a given period of time at the operating pressure of the filtration device.
  • Conventional filters often become laden with particulate material from the frying process in high volume operations, thus making it difficult to maintain an adequate flow of cooking oil through the filter. Under such circumstances, the speed of filtration is greatly reduced. Consequently, fryer operators may attempt to scrape the filter surface to reduce the accumulated particulate to increase the filtration flow.
  • filters used in filtration devices include those comprised of paper, nonwovens including latex bonded wetlaid nonwovens and spunlaid polymers, and metal screens. Some filtration devices employ flat filters that are retained in a support frame; others employ filter envelopes that wrap around a grid or frame. Conventional filter media types vary in their
  • Paper filters are inexpensive; however, paper filters are fragile and are frequently damaged if scraped to remove accumulated particulate. Paper filters cannot generally be used for multiple filtration cycles.
  • Paper filters provide limited separation efficiency, retaining particles within the range of 20-30 microns and larger.
  • Cellulose based nonwovens also are susceptible to damage if scraped. Most are not usable for multiple filtration cycles. Cellulose based nonwovens retain particles within the range of 1-5 microns and larger.
  • nonwovens can retain fine particles in the range of 1-5 microns, and such nonwovens are most capable of reuse. But spunlaid nonwovens usually are affected by the temperatures of the oil being filtered, either damaging the filter material or requiring cooling of the oil prior to filtering. Stainless steel filter screens are durable and may be reused indefinitely, but they are considerably more expensive than paper filters and nonwovens. They provide only limited filtration efficiency, retaining particles within the range of 80-120 microns and larger.
  • a powdered filter aid is used with
  • filter aids are dispersed in the cooking oil and form a powder cake on the filter surface (along with accumulated particulate contaminants) to increase the filtration surface area, and thereby enhance the removal of relatively small particles.
  • Such filter powder when accumulated as a filter cake on the filter, provides a plurality of channels permeable to liquid, yet more effective in mechanically filtering small particulates.
  • the addition of a powdered filter aid thus provides additional depth filtration and generally results in the removal of smaller particles than can be removed by filtering through paper, cellulose pad or metal screen filters alone.
  • a use of paper filters in conjunction with a powdered filter aid will generally result in the retention of particles within the range of 1-5 microns and larger.
  • a use of stainless steel filter screens in conjunction with a powdered filter aid will generally result in the retention of particles within the range of 5-10 microns and larger.
  • Nonwovens can be produced which preclude the need for such filter aids.
  • the quantity of contaminants removed during the filtration process depends on the type of filter material used, the presence of filter aids used and the filtration time.
  • a filter material is needed for hot cooking oil operations that is more efficient than conventional filter materials, like paper, wetlaid nonwovens or even steel mesh. It is also required that this filter material be strong and durable and dimensionally stable enough when filtering hot oil to be usable for multiple filtering and cleaning cycles. Biodegradability and sustainability are also desired. Any material used for filtering hot cooking oil must be safe for indirect food contact.
  • Any filter material based on polypropylene or polyester will be durable and dimensionally stable at normal temperatures, but not at the elevated temperatures at which hot cooking oil is filtered.
  • Any filter material based on cellulosic or other staple fibres are usually not durable to multiple cycles.
  • Metal based filters are durable to hot oil, but cannot filter out the 1-5 micron particulates as required.

  • meltblown it will be understood that it refers to a process that is similar or analogous to the process used for the production of synthetic thermoplastic fibres (filaments are extruded under pressure through nozzles and stretched to required degree by high velocity/high temperature extension air flowing substantially parallel to the filament direction), even though the cellulose is dissolved in solution (i.e.

  • Freshly-extruded lyocell solution ('solvent spun', which will contain only, for example, 5-15% cellulose) behaves in a similar way to 'sticky' and deformable thermoplastic filaments. Causing the freshly-spun filaments to contact each other while still swollen with solvent and with a 'sticky' surface under even low pressure will cause merged filament bonding, where molecules from one filament mix irreversibly with molecules from a different filament. Once the solvent is removed and coagulation of filaments completed, this type of bonding is impossible.

Both placement of the coagulation liquor application and the speed at which the application liquor is applied can either increase, or decrease, the rate of coagulation.

Additionally, the rate of cooling (temperature decrease) of the solution upon spinning nozzle exit will impact the coagulation rate as well.

If the filaments touch and merge prior to the forming belt, this limits the number of neighboring filaments by which it can intermingle with. Additionally, filaments that merge prior to contacting the forming belt with not have the same degree of flexibility as a single filament and this will limit the total area over which the filament will buckle and sway. Surprisingly, it has been found that high levels of control of filament merging can be achieved by modifying key process variables. In addition, physical intermingling of at least partially coagulated cellulose filaments can occur after initial contact with non-solvent, particularly at initial filament laydown to form the web.
  • Degree of physical intermingling is influenced by process conditions such as residual extension air velocity at the foraminous support (forming belt).
