Definition: STRUTO is a Nonwoven structure where all the fibers are orientated in the vertical position; this gives the highest possible resilience and recovery after repeated compression. Properties: STRUTO is a technically engineered structure with the following properties; • • • • • • • Lightweight Consistent Recyclable Support Resilient Recovery Absorption Background: The original STRUTO Vertically Lapped Nonwoven product is the world’s first product of its kind. This technology was originally developed by the professors and students at the University of Czech Republic. In the late 1980’s the STRUTO process was patented and marketed throughout the world. Area of Application: There are now many STRUTO Vertical Lapped Nonwoven production lines that manufacture products for a wide range of industries: • • • • • • AUTOMOTIVE AVIATION FILTRATION FURNITURE BEDDING INSOLATION A typical STRUTO process line will begin with fiber Blending. The Vertical Lapper then folds the web into a uniform structure. Cutting. Cross Lapping. Finish Carding. Once the structure has been Thermally Bonded. The carded web is conveyed up an incline apron and is fed into the STRUTO Lapping device. STRUTO Vertical Lapper. Once properly blended the fibers are carded. Opening. The STRUTO Vertical Lapping process can use most fibers that are properly blended with a Bi Component fiber. The folds are compressed together into a continuous STRUTO structure. Thermal Bond Oven. Winding. Slitting. Pre Carding. Reclaim System and Electrical Controls. the structure is held in a Vertical position as it enters the heated Thermal Bonding Oven. it enters the cooling zone causing the Thermally Bonded structure to become permanent. Cooling Zone.• BUILDING MATERIALS Manufacturing Process: In any Nonwoven process the fibers must be opened prior to blending. Once blended and carded the Vertical Lapping process creates . floor and trunk systems. ➢ The maximum height of a STRUTO product is approximately 40 mm depending on the fiber type and density of the finished product. compression resistance and recovery is with a Vertical fiber orientation. Horizontal fiber orientation is shown below.a very even finish product. The STRUTO Vertical Lapper can be retro fitted after most nonwoven blending and carding systems. . STRUTO is truly a Vertically Lapped fiber orientation as opposed to a horizontally laid fiber orientation. STRUTO Parameters: ➢ The minimum height of a STRUTO product is approximate 15 mm depending on the fiber type and density of the finished product. STRUTO Vertical Lapped Nonwoven structures are very successful in a number of fields such as OEM Automotive component manufacturing. The purpose of the STRUTO system is to make the most resilient structure possible with the least amount of fiber when compared to other structures. The most effective way to achieve the maximum amount of resilience. headliner. STRUTO is commonly used in this field as a replacement for bulky heavyweight cross laid and air laid insulation materials. Technical data: The unique vertical orientation of the fibers provides a large amount of capacity for the STRUTO product to absorb noise. lofty or soft structures. mechanically crimped. All parameters are based upon the use of standard 6 to 15 denier. Nomex. Carbon Fibers as well as all types of natural fibers such as Jute.5 meters Thickness: 15 mm to 40 mm Web weight: 200 grams per square meter Web inlet speed: 10 to 100 meters per minute Density: 80 grams to 1. Cotton. 52 to 64 mm. ➢ The minimum density which can be achieved with a STRUTO structure is approximately 120/150 grams per square meter or 3 ½ ounce per square yard. Once the STRUTO Vertical Lapped structure is bonded and molded into the final shape.➢ STUTO products can be slit horizontally depending on product density and the amount of binder fiber in use. it has the ability to maintain loft much more so than a traditional cross lapped or air laid product. Glass. virgin polyester fibers. liquid. STRUTO structure are commonly produced with the use of all types of fibers such as Kevlar.600 grams per square meter Production rate: 700 kilos per hour maximum . Flax and Kenaf. heat and other physical materials. ➢ The maximum density which n be achieved with a STRUTO structure is approximately 1600 grams square meter or 45 ounce per square yard at the 25 mm or 1 inch thickness. • • • • • • Working width: 2. This does not include very lightweight. . This includes the proper blending. bonding oven and cooling section can be added to complete the Vertical Lapped Nonwoven system. This property creates natural equalization effect to stabilize the temperature changes which discovers with relative humidity. Thermowool: THERMOWOOL is a building insulating material from the wool. winding and recycle equipment that may be needed. With the proper fiber blending. In addition. the STRUTO Vertical Lapper. opening and carding equipment. While in winter .STRU TO - RECYCLED FIBER STRUTO – VIRGIN POLYESTER STRUTO can provide the complete turn key Vertical Lapped Nonwoven process line. The STRUTO Vertical Lapping system can be added to an existing carded Nonwoven production line. interior walls of buildings or floors in interiors. Property: The unique property of this material is not only permeability but the ability to capture and release humidity from the surrounding atmosphere by preserving the thermal isolation properties. opening. cut off. carding and finish equipment required to manufacture a quality product. STRUTO can provide any slitting. Wool is natural renewable source of the fiber material with many positive properties which is able to effectively use for construction isolation to insulate the roofs. The properties are bulkiness of the material. fast and safe . Isolation layers from the wool are ecological. Main advantages: . ✔ Thickness of product 40 . recyclable and wholesome. resistance to pressure and good recovery after stress which are desired for heat-isolation effectivity and lifetime of the material. ✔ Impregnated mothproof and flammability reducing treatment.45 mm. ✔ Formed by vertical fibres with bearing fabric. ✔ Stronger layers are achieved by bonding two and more layers.the absorption of humidity results the heat release.) Technical data: ✔ Max width till 230 cm. respirator etc. Mounting is easy.it does not require any protective equipment (protective clothing. Thanks to bind of wool fibres and vertical laid fibres technology it is achieved much better function properties of the fleeces compared by the traditional fleeces. ✔ Supplied on rolls or in the required blanks. in summer the evaporation leads to cooling effect. ✔ ✔ connection is ensured by the thermal process by bi-component PES fibres Made from polyester hollow fibres in combination with smaller amount of PES fibres (to 20%). 2) . » effective for layer structures: ideal wool insulation .here meets the use of natural material with energetic efficiency. . ➢ Ability to absorb and release humidity with no limitation of thermal properties. ➢ low flammability. ➢ Wholesome . Application Areas: » eco construction: woodhouse and log cabins.➢ Natural.able to absorb up to 17% of the own weight. renewable and sustainable resource. ➢ The material is biodegradable and recyclable and it's eco-saving product.requires only fraction of the energy it needs to produce. it has the exceptional ability to absorb these substances and lock them into its structure.the wool doesn’t contain formaldehyde or other harmful substances compared to other materials. ➢ Energy saving . » the existing buildings: replacement of existing insulation . no leak of toxic gases. hygroscopic . » soundproofing inner walls of the rooms.which has often a low immunity to humidity and molds what means limited lifetime.2% oxygen content to burn the wool but the air contains only 21% . no protective equipment needed.it is necessary to add 25. the wool is flame retardant thanks to high limit oxidant number (LOI=25.where is necessary the permeability and insulation with moisture barrier by buildings and the exterior insulation. ➢ Safe to use. prevents the leak of heat from the room.
