Ecological wool is a very common insulation, which is used in both home and industrial construction. It has certain advantages.
Should I do this kind of business?
Before you purchase equipment for the production of ecowool, you should understand whether it is advisable to start such a business. So, the presented business has the following advantages:
- high payback, since the presented material is widely used for insulation of buildings;
- for its manufacture is not required to buy too expensive raw materials;
- all ecowool components are environmentally friendly, as they are made from natural materials;
- the final product has a large number of useful properties, which makes it ideal for thermal and sound insulation of rooms.
What raw materials are used for work?
Ecowool manufacturing equipment is a very important part of your future workshop. However, without a feedstock, there cannot be a final product. For the manufacture of the presented material is used:
- boric acid;
- sodium tetraborate;
- recycled cellulose.
Each component does its job. Cellulose is the basis of the future insulation. Boric acid does not allow fungi to multiply, as it has antiseptic properties. Sodium tetraborate provides resistance to burning.
What does the production line include?
Today there is no need to buy separate machines for organizing your business. Ecowool production line, which includes all the necessary devices, can be purchased from modern manufacturers.
In addition, it is fully automated, which reduces the need for a large number of personnel. You will need only those people who will control the process, handle loading and unloading, as well as transporting raw materials and finished products.
So, equipment for the production of ecowool includes the following set of machines:
1. Shredder. This device is used to sort pulp.
2. Conveyor belts that move raw materials between machines.
3. Dispensers. Thanks to them, you can accurately set the amount of each component.
4. Dispersant. This apparatus is used for the separation of raw materials, their grinding and drying.
5. The fan. It is used for final drying of the finished product.
6. Ecowool packaging device.
Thanks to this line, you can produce about 800 kg of product per hour. It all depends on its power. Naturally, this indicator is decisive in the choice of equipment. Naturally, one should not forget about quality. Therefore, do not buy equipment at unknown locations.
Features of home-made ecowool
In principle, in order to open such a production, it is absolutely not necessary to build or rent a separate workshop. At first, you can do this thing even at home (of course, not in living quarters).
For work, you will need raw materials, as well as several units. At the same time, it is not difficult to make equipment for the production of ecowool with your own hands. For example, an activator washing machine can be used as a grinder. Its feature is that it has a rotational mechanism to which the knife system is attached. If you do not like the power of your home-made device, then you can install a more powerful engine.
It should be noted that products manufactured in this way are most suitable for personal use. It is inferior in quality to ecowool in industrial production; in addition, it is not recommended to use it without chemicals. Therefore, if you want to open a business, it is better to purchase professional equipment.
Production technology
The manufacturing process itself is not complicated. You just need to mix all the ingredients and set up the equipment. So, the whole production procedure consists of several stages:
- Preparation of the source material and manual loading of recycled pulp onto the conveyor.
- Next, the raw material enters the machine for the production of ecowool - chopper. There, with the help of knives, it is cut into small pieces.
- After this, the raw materials must be treated with boric acid and sodium tetraborate. These substances will protect the finished product from decay, damage by fungi, as well as enhance the resistance of the material to burning.
- Then the raw material enters another apparatus, where it is finally crushed and divided into fibers, the size of which does not exceed 4 mm.
- At this stage, the properties of the finished product are checked. All indicators obtained as a result of testing must comply with standards and established standards.
- Last of all, ecowool is packaged in plastic bags of a certain size. This process is performed at high speed.
That's all the features of manufacturing the presented insulation. Good luck!
