Frequently asked questions
How many plants have you supplied?
The company’s origins are in the 1950s. Since then, over 130 projects have been realized.
Are your plants geared for circular manufacturing?
Our large element line runs a zero-waste production process, with all trimming waste reintegrated into new products. For our standard lines, we are actively working on recycling all trimming waste back into production. However, we do not process construction waste from demolition sites.
What are the raw material needed to produce boards or wall elements?
For all products coming from the production lines the ingredients are the same: softwood (typically pine or spruce), cement and water. Additives like limestone can be added to the mix to reduce the cement content and tweak the product for certain use cases. Rough proportions of the raw materials are as follows:
Wood wool: 31%
Cement: 45%
Water: 22%
Waterglass: 2%
Can wall elements and acoustic panels be made on the same production line?
No. Only the very first section of the production line (block handling, production of wood wool and mixing with water and cement) is the same. After the dosing and mixing process, the production lines for acoustic panels and large elements follow the same principle but are created on different machines.
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.
Does Eltomation also provide support during construction and land preparation for a new facility?
We have extensive knowledge we can share when it comes to raw materials needed, log yard capacity, dust extaction capacity, etc. we share in detail in the pre-engineering stage once we seriously proceed with a project.
