| Use advice for data set | Scope: This document refers to an average Heradesign acoustic panel manufactured by Knauf AMF Deckensysteme Ges.m.b.H at the production facility in Ferndorf. System boundary: Typ of EPD: cradle to gate - with options The Life Cycle Assessment for the products under review comprises the life cycle stages of "Product stage" and "End-of-Life stage". The systems therefore include the following stages in accordance with DIN EN 15804/: A1 Raw material supply and processing, and processing of secondary materials serving as input A2 Transport to the manufacturer A3 Manufacture C4 Disposal The A4-A5, B1-B7, C1,C2, and C3 product stages were not taken into consideration in this study. After removal of the product from the building, it is assumed that it is disposed of in an inert material landfill. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Heradesign acoustic panels are primarily used as acoustic/decorative wall and ceiling panelling in offices, kindergartens etc. |

| General comment on data set | Heradesign panels are wood wool panels in accordance with /EN 13168/ and/or /EN 13964/, manufactured from wood wool and mineral binding agents. Product names: Heradesign superfine, Heradesign superfine A2 Heradesign fine, Heradesign fine A2 Heradesign macro Heradesign micro Heradesign plano Averages were achieved by adding the total annual inputs used to the annual volume of Heradesign panels manufactured. The waste incurred was calculated analogue to this by dividing the annual volume by the production volume. |

| Technology description including background system | 1.Raw material Pine wood is stored as trunks 2 metres in length. Depending on climate conditions, storage lasts around 6-12 months. The trunks are transported by conveyor belt to a multi-rip saw, cut into pieces and processed as wood wool using a planing machine. The binding agent components are stored in steel silos. 2. Mixer Wood wool as well as a binding agent and a magnesium sulphate solution are required for generating a mixture for wood wool pallets. These components are transported to a mixer where they are processed to form the requisite formula. 3. Scattering and shaping The mixture is scattered onto a steel band and passed through a binding channel, whereby it is separated from the room by a second horizontal steel strip as well as two side strips. An endless product is produced on leaving the twin belt. The raw goods are then cut to the desired length. 4. Interim storage and picking The products are put into interim storage for 3-5 days (drying and maturing process). The requisite edge design is then produced on so-called double-end profiling machines. Edge processing: 18 standard edges are possible. 5. Dyeing, packaging and shipping The requisite colour is applied in a deying plant, followed by packaging and storage.Syeing Dyeing: Possible in many RAL colours (left) Products ready for storage (right) Technical data: Product-specific values can be found at http://www.heradesign.com Declared unit: The declared unit is 1m² Heradesign acoustic panel. |
