insulation board line
Frequently asked questions
Do you also provide technical assistance in the ramp up phase?
Yes. Several Eltomation personnel will remain on site for 6 weeks after first commissioning to make sure the plant runs smoothly, and local operators / supervisors are properly trained.
What are the electric power requirements to operate a WWCB plant?
For the Eltomation production line alone, the estimated installed capacity is approx. 900 kVA. When adding finishing operations, total installed power requirements are estimated at 1800 kVA.
What insulation materials can be handled on an Eltomation line?
Eltomation lines are designed to handle most common insulation materials, provided they are stiff. Core sheets typically consist of mineral wool, EPS or XPS (subject to applications) to which a one- or two-sided thin layer of WWCB is added. Contact us if you would like to process other materials.
What is the maximum thickness of insulation material that can be processed on an Eltomation line?
Our lines can handle boards with a total thickness of up to 150 mm (6”).
How do these boards perform in terms of fire resistance?
WWCBs are inherently fire-resistant, achieving classifications such as B-s1,d0 and A2-s1,d0 (non-combustible) according to EN standards. The inclusion of mineral wool, EPS or XPS cores enhances this fire resistance, providing added safety in building constructions.
Are WWCB insulation boards effective for sound absorption?
Yes, the porous structure of wood wool, combined with insulation materials like mineral wool, offers high sound absorption performance. This makes these boards ideal for applications where noise reduction is important, such as in acoustic panels and ceilings.
