Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a double or multi-layer mineral wool insulation.
  • the invention further relates to a mineral wool insulation manufactured by the method.
  • WO2014090670 presents a method, in which is formed a base layer of mineral wool, in which the fibres are substantially perpendicular in relation to the main surfaces of the base layer, which is cured. On top of the cured base layer is spread an uncured mineral wool layer, and the combination is taken into a curing oven, in which the surface layer is compressed at least 50%.
  • EP1180182 presents a method, in which a thin mineral wool sheet is cut from a mineral wool mat with a horizontal cutting blade, the cut sheet being compressed between the rollers into a denser form and spread back onto the rest of the mineral wool mat, from which the sheet was cut.
  • the object is to produce a very rigid surface layer, the density of which is at least 450 kg/m 3 .
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a relatively simple and easily implemented method for manufacturing a double or multi-layer mineral wool insulation utilizing recycling material, which is obtained either from the same facility, in which the mineral wool products are manufactured, or from customers as surplus material returns.
  • a method according to the invention is characterized in that, in the method, on a mineral wool manufacturing line is continuously produced a mineral wool mat having a bottom side and a top side defining the main surfaces of the mineral wool mat, the fibres of which are located substantially in levels parallel with said main surfaces, that, in the method, onto at least one of said main surfaces is brought an additional insulation layer containing recycled material, which contains crushed and/or pulverized mineral wool and into which recycled material is mixed binding agent in a powdered form before it is brought onto said at least one main surface of the mineral wool mat, that, in the method, the layer of recycled material is compressed into a mat-like layer before it is brought onto said at least one main surface of the mineral wool mat, and that, finally, the mineral wool insulation formed from the mineral wool mat and the additional insulation layer of recycled material added onto its at least one main surface is taken to a curing treatment.
  • the layer of recycled material is formed as different in at least one of its properties in comparison to the mineral wool mat layer, the property being selected from a group including fibre chemistry, fibre length, fibre orientation, binding agent, density, layer thickness, compression strength.
  • onto the outer surface of the additional insulation layer of recycled material is preferably added a coating layer of fibreglass fabric before the mineral wool insulation is taken to the curing treatment.
  • an additional insulation layer containing recycled material is preferably brought onto both main surfaces of the mineral wool mat.
  • a second mineral wool mat is brought onto the other side of the additional insulation layer containing recycled material brought onto one main surface of the mineral wool mat, wherein the additional insulation layer of recycled material forms the middle layer of the mineral wool insulation.
  • the advantage of the present invention is that there is no need to make major changes to an existing mineral wool mat manufacturing line in order to introduce the method according to the invention.
  • the mineral wool mat is manufactured normally and it does not require special handling before the additional layer is fed onto at least one main surface of the mineral wool mat.
  • the additional layer is fed, for example, between the belt conveyors as compressed to the desired density onto the mineral wool mat and the insulation product thus obtained is taken to a curing treatment, for example, into a curing oven, in which the binding agents in the mineral wool mat and the additional insulation layer harden under the influence of heat and the layers simultaneously adhere to each other.
  • Insulation products of mineral wool such as, for example, a raw mineral wool mat used in the manufacture of mineral wool boards and in the form of a mat, is manufactured on a basic production line by first forming mineral wool fibres from molten rock, from which, through pleating a primary mat of mineral wool, a secondary mat of mineral wool is formed.
  • This manner of producing so-called raw wool is described, for example, in WO 94/16162 , WO 2006/070055 and WO 03/008353 .
  • a mineral wool mat 2 of raw wool manufactured in a per se known manner is transported between the belt conveyors 4, 5 as compressed to a desired density and further by means of the rollers 9 towards the curing oven 8.
  • the apparatus includes a feeding apparatus attached to the manufacturing line of the mineral wool mat 2, the feeding apparatus including the belt conveyors 6, 7, between which the additional insulation layer 3 is compressed (for example, to a desired density) before it is fed onto the top surface 11 of the mineral wool mat 2.
  • the degree of compression can be, for example, 50% or more depending on the desired density.
  • the mat-like additional insulation layer 3 is pressed by the guide roller 10 against the top surface of the mineral wool mat.
  • the apparatus preferably includes means for feeding an optional coating material 13 from a roll 14 onto the outer surface of the additional insulation layer in order to keep the fibre material and the binding agent of the additional insulation layer in place in the additional insulation layer in the air flow of the curing oven.
  • the coating material 13 is preferably used fibreglass fabric or felt.
  • additional insulation layers 3, 3' and also onto both outer surfaces of the additional insulation layer is preferably added a coating material 13.
  • Fig. 2 shows as a cross-section a mineral wool insulation 1 manufactured by the method according to the invention, the mineral wool insulation having a middle layer of mineral wool mat 2 and the additional insulation layers 3, 3' formed from recycled material on both of its sides.
  • the amount of recycled material is preferably approx. 16% of the amount of the mineral wool mat.
  • the middle layer 2 formed from a mineral wool mat of a mineral wool insulation 1 produced according to the invention is preferably in the range of 60-80 kg/m 3 in density and its thickness is, for example, 100 mm.
  • the density of the additional insulation layer 3, 3' formed from recycled material is preferably in the range of 150-250 kg/m 3 , its thickness being, for example, in the range of 10-20 mm.
  • the material of the additional insulation layer is primarily shredded/pulverized/crushed mineral wool material, to which is added in connection with shredding/pulverizing/crushing or thereafter dry powder-like binding agent, which can be different than the binding agent used in the mineral wool mat.
  • the recycled material can also contain other crushed/chopped materials, such as concrete/wood fractions or fire retardants or other additives.
  • additives acting as fire retardants are plaster, slaked lime, calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate hemihydrate, dolomite, aluminium hydroxide, aluminium sulphate, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, montmorillonite, bentonite.
  • additives acting as fire retardants expanding at high temperatures are vermiculite, perlite, pumice, and expanding varieties of clay.
  • the thickness and density of the layers they can, if desired, be rendered to have different properties, such as, for example, compression strength.
