Stone wool (rock wool) is made by melting volcanic rock such as basalt and converting them to fiber form. With the ability to operate at service temperatures up to 750oC, it is predominantly used in high temperature industrial applications.
High density, low binder based semi-flexible mat for high temperature applications
Pre-formed product for easy installation on pipe : plain or with factory applied facing
In certain areas of an industry, noise levels exceed the 85dB safe limit for human ear. With excellent acoustic properties, stone wool is also used in applications to provide sound isolation / absorption.
The tiny pockets of air trapped within the physical structure of the stone wool reduce airflow and heat flow. This makes stone wool a preferred choice for thermal and acoustic insulation, especially for industries.
The fibers are then converted to various products such as LRB Mattress, RB Slab, Pipe section etc. of required density and thickness. Product can be customized to various dimensions and offered with facings as per the application.
FIBERIZING / BINDER SPRAYING
The fibres are produced by projecting the melt on rotors turning at high speed. A binder is automatically atomized on the fibers. The fibers are collected are forming an homogeneous primary mat of low gram weight. This mat is transported to the pendular installation.
FOLDING AND CRIMPING
The fibers are collected on a belt and folded using a pendulum. The fibers are passed through a crimping machine to bring mechanical properties to the final product.
Basalt and agglomerates are stored in silos, weighed and mixed with coke.
The mixture is melted at high temperature in a cupola

The fibers mat, impregnated with binder, is entering into a curing oven to be stiffened. This gives to the mat its final thickness, density and consistency.
Once out of the oven, saws cut the blanket at the required width. The panels are then packed and palletized facilitating the logistics of handling, storage and loading in the transport units.
