| Use advice for data set | Scope: This document refers to 1 m² average Heradesign acoustic panel manufactured by Knauf AMF Deckensysteme Ges.m.b.H at the production facility in Ferndorf. System boundary: The life cycle assessment of average Heradesign acoustic panels refers to a cradle-to-gate analysis with options. The following life-cycle phases are taken into consideration in the analysis: Module A1-A3 | Production stage The production stage includes upstream burdens of raw materials (wood, binding agents, recalcination, auxiliaries, etc.) and the corresponding transports to the production site in Ferndorf (Austria). Material and energy flows needed for the mixing of the components, scattering and shaping, interim storage and picking as well as dyeing and packaging were specifically recorded. In addition, the recalcination process for the provision auf Knauf Sekundärkauster is considered. The representation of all specific input and output flows is thus based on company-specific foreground data. Electricity is provided from the Austrian grid. Thermal energy results from energy recovery from the recalcination process supplemented by natural gas. Module C4 | Disposal Modul C4 declares the environmental impacts from landfilling after use of the product. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | Heradesign acoustic panels are primarily used as acoustic/decorative wall and ceiling panelling in offices, kindergartens etc. | ||

| Technology description including background system | 2.6.1 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 belts 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. 2.6.2 Mixer Wood wool as well as a binding agent and a magnesium sulphate solution are required for generating a mixture for wood wool pellets. These components are transported to a mixer where they are processed to form the requisite formula. 2.6.3 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. 2.6.4 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. 2.6.5 Dyeing, packaging and shipping The requisite colour is applied in a dyeing plant, followed by packaging and storage. Dyeing: Possible in many RAL colours (left) Products ready for storage (right) Technical data: Product-specific values can be found at http://www.knaufamf.com Declared unit: This EPD refers to a declared unit of 1 m² of Heradesign acoustic panel. The declared unit refers to an average surface weight of 13,1 kg/m². The LCA results for other thicknesses of Heradesign products Euroclass B can be calculated by means of linear conversion of the surface weight. | ||
