The molten material is transformed into fiber through:
· High-speed centrifugal fiberizing equipment;
· High-pressure air blowing technology.
The resulting fibers have uniform diameter and excellent insulation properties.
■ Forming Process
The fibers are evenly distributed through a forming machine or vacuum forming system to create the initial insulation mat.
■ Thermal Curing and Shaping
An inorganic binder is applied to the fiber surface.
The material then passes through a drying furnace or curing furnace for high-temperature treatment, forming stable rock wool boards, rolls, or other insulation products.
■ Cutting and Packaging
After shaping, rock wool products are cut according to customers’ requirements.
Finished products are packed in:
· Bags;
· Cartons;
· Pallets.
This ensures safe transportation and convenient storage.
■ Exhaust Gas and Dust Treatment
The production line is equipped with:
· High-efficiency dust collection systems;
· Exhaust gas treatment devices.
These systems ensure environmentally compliant production.
