Moulded mineral wool to your drawing.
Custom components for thermal, acoustic and fire protection – shaped to the application.
Mineral wool shaped into parts.
Moulding means mineral wool is pressed and shaped into components with a defined geometry. Laxå Bruk does not manufacture raw mineral wool – we further process and shape the material into custom parts in Röfors.
That makes it possible to solve needs where standard products are not sufficient.
Examples of moulded parts.
The images show examples of moulded components. What can be shaped is always assessed from the material, thickness and volume in each individual case.
Material properties and shaping.
The properties of the material and what we can shape are two different things. The performance of the finished component also depends on the application and is documented for each product.
Properties of the material
Thermal insulation
The fibrous structure limits heat transfer through the material, which makes it useful where heat should be retained or shielded.
Sound absorption
The open fibre structure absorbs sound energy and can help reduce sound in industrial environments.
Fire properties
Mineral wool is an inorganic material. Fire class and test documentation are stated per product and must be verified against your requirements – we report what is documented for your specific component.
Low weight
The material is light compared with many other insulation materials, which simplifies handling and installation.
What processing and shaping make possible
Custom geometry
Mineral wool can be pressed and shaped into parts with a specific form, so the component fits the construction rather than the other way around.
Tolerances and dimensions
Dimensions and tolerances are set from the material choice and application. We review them against your drawing before manufacturing.
Prototype to series
We develop a first solution or prototype and then adapt the production setup to the volume and any recurring need.
Material choice and technical conditions are assessed from your application. Contact us with your drawing and requirements, and we will go through which values and documentation are relevant for your component.
Where the component is used.
Areas we work with. These are needs we assess – not ready-made solutions for every system in an industry.
From need to delivery.
Need and requirements
Function, dimensions, volume and any documentation requirements.
Geometry and material selection
We assess formability, material and how the component should be manufactured.
Test and prototype
A first part is produced and evaluated against the requirements.
Production and delivery
Manufacturing in Röfors and delivery as agreed.
Common questions about moulded mineral wool.
Does Laxå Bruk manufacture raw mineral wool?
No. We further process and shape mineral wool into custom components. The raw material is purchased and processed in our production in Röfors.
How do we find out the technical values for our component?
Material choice and technical conditions are assessed from your application. Send us your drawing and requirements, and we will go through which values are relevant and what documentation exists.
Can you produce a prototype before series production?
Yes, we work from a single part or prototype and then adapt the setup to the volume.
What material should we send with an inquiry?
A drawing or sketch in PDF, JPG or PNG, plus a short description of function, dimensions, volume and any requirements. If you do not have the material ready, you can still start a dialogue.
Send a technical inquiry.
Describe the function, dimensions and volume – preferably with a drawing. No account needed, and you can start a dialogue even if the full requirement set is not yet defined.
- A drawing in PDF, JPG or PNG can be attached.
- Attachments are stored privately, not publicly.
- Only name, email and a short description are required.
Not sure whether we can solve your part?
Send the drawing anyway – we assess the conditions and come back with questions.
