Investment in rock wool production line should pay attention to the following points
There are mainly three types of mineral wool products in the market: rock wool, glass wool, and aluminium silicate wool. Currently, rock wool products have the largest supply in the market. They are widely used in building, transportation, shipbuilding, agriculture, and industrial insulation fields.
Rock wool products in the market can be classified into rock wool and mineral wool based on their composition. Products mainly made from basalt and with an acidity coefficient above 1.6 can be called rock wool. The rock wool produced by rock wool production lines can be widely used in building, including external wall insulation, roofing insulation, interior wall insulation, fire prevention, isolation, and noise reduction. Products mainly made from slag with an acidity coefficient of 1.6 or below can be called mineral wool, which can be used in industrial insulation or low-end color steel sandwich panels used in construction.
Therefore, when investing in rock wool production, one should consider the product plan for the future, whether to produce rock wool or mineral wool. A production line of rock wool can produce mineral wool, while a production line of mineral wool cannot produce rock wool.
The conventional production capacity is 20,000 tons, 30,000 tons, or 40,000 tons. Each equipment manufacturer claims to be able to produce it. Then, how to assess the actual production capacity?
Due to regional differences, equipment differences, equipment stability, and other external factors, one rock wool production line actually runs for 6,000-6,500 hours per year. In northern areas, production time may be lower due to construction suspension in winter.
A rock wool production line is not simply a simple combination of several equipment. Many factors should be considered when building a complete production line:
First, environmental protection
Second, production capacity
Third, equipment reliability and the ability to run continuously and reliably
Fourth, investment
Firstly, you need to conduct civil engineering and process design. A good plan is a prerequisite for a good factory, so you need to choose a qualified design institute.
Secondly, you need to choose appropriate equipment. There are non-standard equipment and standard equipment. You have more choices for standard equipment, while you need reliable non-standard equipment.
Thirdly, you need to select a reliable environmental protection plan to ensure that the emissions of the rock wool production line can comply with national and local standards.
Fourthly, you need to select a professional installation team to help complete the equipment installation.
Fifthly, if you are a new investor in this industry, you need to find technical professionals who can operate the production lines to ensure that they run smoothly.
The rapid growth of the rock wool industry has attracted the interest of many investors. However, building a rock wool production line is not as easy as imagined. Risks in the market, technology, and management always exist. Therefore, investors are advised to be cautious when investing.
