Cost-effective technology for the production of mineral wool

Modern construction technologies provide for the use of mineral wool for insulation of walls, floors and ceilings. The demand for this material is huge, and mass production is considered a promising area of commercial development. Official website https://rwoolworld.ru/себестоимость-минеральной-ваты / the RWOOL company, which carries out the design and production of automated production lines for the manufacture of mineral wool, presents the calculation of the cost of the product.

Cost calculation parameters

The requirements for the quality and technical characteristics of mineral wool vary significantly, taking into account the specifics of the use or purpose of the material. The manufacturer must specify:

  • Composition and density.
  • Dimensions and resistance to moisture.
  • Sanitary and fire safety parameters.

To calculate the cost, it is best to use the price per 1 kg of the final product. Although in most cases the consumer is interested in the volume or area of the covered surface. The cost is determined using raw data, which is the price of raw materials and energy consumed. Production can be carried out using the following technologies:

  • Gorenje on coke (vagranka) – uses coke combustion and hot air to melt a mixture of raw materials. A basalt mineral wool fiber is then formed from the finished melt.
  • Electric furnaces with cold slag for the manufacture of mineral wool – melting of the raw materials loaded from above is carried out using a circuit consisting of 3 graphite electrodes.

Selection of equipment for the production of mineral wool

In the business plan for ordering equipment used in the production of mineral wool, the customer specifies: the required capacity or productivity, sales volumes or their own need for the material, the form of investment (using their own funds or bank interest loans), operating expenses (rent, electricity, raw materials) and marketing policy. 

You can get more complete information and get acquainted with examples of calculating the cost of manufacturing mineral wool on the company's website. Free consultation of clients interested in cooperation on all technical or organizational issues that arise is conducted by a staff specialist of the company.

Orders for the production of production lines are accepted after agreeing on the estimated cost and on the basis of an official contract concluded with the customer.
