Fibretec 1000

-basic economical, economical


& advanced system-

Example layout

Fibretec 1000 is an economical system for starting


cellulose insulation manufacturing business. It consists
of a basic set-up of high quality equipment optimized for
1000 kg/hour capacity. Manually operated paper feeding
and insulation packaging systems are easy to use and
control.
In this case, the recycled paper comes to the factory
in loose form. Pre-crushing is performed by a sturdy
Hammermill. Final refining is performed by the
powerful 30 Fiberizer, which refines the paper into
very fluffy insulation with the best coverage and lowest
settled density. At the end of the line, the insulation is
packed in paper sacks using the screw driven
Packaging Unit. Dust collection takes place effectively
by separating process air from the material flow by the
Cyclone Separators and by leading the air through the
self-cleaning Dust Filter Unit.
The Fibretec 1000 can be offered with several
automation levels. An automated paper feeding system
makes it possible to use compressed paper bales as raw
material. Two types of packaging systems are availabe.
The insulation can be packed into pre-fabricated paper
sacks or pre-fabricated plastic sacks.

Fibretec 1500

-advanced & automated sytem-

Example layout

Fibretec 1500 includes the complete set of equipment


for manufacturing cellulose insulation up to 1800 kg per
hour. The advanced version is equipped with an
automated paper feeding system for paper bales as raw
material. The paper feeding to the process takes place
automatically. Also the use of recycled paper collected
from the households or the use of overnight unread
newsprint from printhouses is possible. The automated
version is equiped an automated packing system.
In a first stage the paper is shredded by an automated
Shredder. In a second stage refining is performed by the
powerful 42 Fiberizer, which refines the paper into very
fluffy insulation with the best coverage and lowest
settled density.
Dosing of the chemical additives takes place by accurate
volumetric dosing units. As an option the chemical
dosing system can be equipped with weighing sensors
and hoists for handling 1000 kg chemical sacks.

Fibretec 2000

-automated advanced system-

Example layout

Fibretec 2000 represents the highest level of technology


in cellulose insulation manufacturing industry. The
production line is optimized for a capacity of at least
2000 kg per hour. Only one key operator can keep the
production running while anther operator takes care of
the product storage.
The insulation is processed from the paper through our
effective 2-stage process. Braking of the complete paper
bales and the shreeding is performed by the un-manned
Shredder. In the second stage refining is performed by
the powerful 42 Fiberizer, which refines the paper into
very fluffy insulation with the best coverage and lowest
settled density.
The chemical additives are precisely dosed and
continuously weighed before they are mixed together,
to ensure the exact mix ratio and to control the
consumption of the costly chemical additives. With the
use of hoists it is easy for the operator to handle heavy
1000kg chemical bags.

Why Cellulose Insulation?


Convert a House into a Carbon Sink!
Properties of Cellulose Insulation

Use of Cellulose Insulation

Ecological significantly lower embodied energy than


in fiberglass or rockwool insulation
Self sealing insulation material, minimizes unwanted air leaks
Excellent thermal insulation value
Excellent acoustic properties, too
Breathing material evens out the moisture in the structures
Fire safe does not catch, propagate or spread fire
Resists rot, fungi growth and pests
Strong adhesion to the surrounding structures
Manufactured locally from recycled paper
User friendly installation safe, no cutting, no waste

The usual installation methods of cellulose

Demand for Sustainable Building Products is


Increasing
With cellulose fibre insulation it is possible to convert a house
into a carbon sink. Cellulose insulation is an ecological and
economical thermal and acoustic insulation material, for both new
and renovated buildings. It is a green material manufactured from
recycled newsprint. Non-toxic natural minerals are used to protect
the insulation material against fire and rot.
Thermal conductivity: ~0,040 W/mK.
(Actual -values determined and approved by local authorities)

Fire endurance: Cellulose bre does not maintain or spread re.


(Actual classication according to local requirements)
Air conductivity 80120 x 10-6 m3/msPa,
depending on the installed density

insulation are blowing and spraying, therefore the


result is a seamless insulation that fills perfectly
the entire cavity. Blowing and spraying methods
in installation ensure that the adhesion of the
insulation to the structures will remain unchanged
over the years.
Cellulose fibre insulation can be installed
manually or with specialised blowing or spraying
machines. Due to the convenient installation
method no cutting of the insulation material is
needed.
Blowing method is commonly used on horizontal
and diagonal structures, e.g. on attics and floors, and
on closed walls. The dry insulation material is blown
into the cavity in question. The fine graded material
penetrates well even the small holes and fills exactly
and seamlessly the entire cavity.
Spraying method can be used on vertical
structures,e.g. on walls. The insulation material is
moistened with fine water dust while it is sprayed
onto the open structure. A seamless and draughtfree insulation layer is achieved even in narrow and
complicated places. After drying the insulation is
well adhered to the surrounding structures, which
prevents separation from the structures.
