How cellulose wadding is manufactured

Cell wadding is made from old newspapers which are first sorted for recycling (no plastic) then recycled at the waste paper recycling center.

First, the paper is sorted and waste (blister packs, litter) is removed. Next, a pulper chops the paper into shreds.

A metal removal system incorporating magnets is then used to pull out all the metals (staples).

After that stage, boric acid and aluminium hydroxide are automatically blended with the recycled paper in order to provide cell wadding with fireproof properties.

During refining, the pulp is beaten to separate the bundles of fibers into flake-shaped fibers. This will make the binding of additives easier.

During the whole process, a filtration system allows to collect paper dust (broken fibers) in order to have high-performance cellulose wadding that will be more pleasant to set up.

The thus-obtained wadding is then weighed, compressed (to maximize the utilization of the capacity of trucks and minimize transportation costs) and eventually bagged.

Then the bags of cell wadding are palletized (Europallet 1200×800) by a palletizing robot, bundled and covered before they are actually stored in a dry place where they will be prepared for truckload and rail shipping.

Certification

Cellulose Wadding is delivered on-site in the form of 15 KG bags and set up according to various implementation techniques.

When the job is done, a technician will check the installation in order to deliver an insulation certification that will state that the installation is in accordance with the purpose for which cell wadding is meant.
