Manufacturing EcoStatic®: Precision, Performance, and Sustainability from Farm to Fiber to Filter
At Lanaco, we believe that true innovation starts at the very beginning—on the farm. Every step of the way, from farm to fiber to filter, we uphold our commitment to sustainability, performance, and scalability.
From Farm to Fiber: The EcoStatic® Sourcing and Preparation
Our wool comes from regenerative farming practices via our Astino® program, ensuring that the fibers are not only high-performing but also sourced with a focus on carbon reduction and sustainable farming methods. The wool is then carefully processed to preserve its natural electrostatic properties, ensuring it’s ready for manufacturing into a high-performance filtration medium.
From Fiber to Filter: The Manufacturing Process
1) Advanced Nonwoven Production
EcoStatic® is crafted using a mechanical-only process, with no harmful chemicals such as PFAS, and no heat, or additional charging methods like Corona or plasma. This allows the wool to maintain its natural electrostatic charge, which is crucial for capturing airborne particles efficiently. Our manufacturing process respects the integrity of the fibers, ensuring they retain their natural qualities while creating a powerful, sustainable filtration medium.
2) Customization for Filtration Needs
EcoStatic® is designed with adaptability in mind. We fine-tune the fiber distribution, basis weight, stiffness, and fiber orientation to meet the unique demands of consumer products such as air purifiers, residential furnace filters, office HVAC, appliance, and niche industrial filtration applications, offering maximum efficiency without sacrificing airflow.
3) Quality Control and Performance Validation
We rigorously test each batch of EcoStatic® to ensure it meets the highest standards of filtration efficiency and durability. This includes:
• Performance testing to meet or exceed our customers’ specific requirements
• Consistency checks to ensure reliable production quality
• Collaboration with customers and partners to ensure EcoStatic® is converted into the correct form factor, maximizing its performance and benefits
Scaling Natural Filtration Without Compromise
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond sourcing. We are continually investing in innovative manufacturing technologies that enable us to scale EcoStatic® production while maintaining the highest standards of quality and performance.
From farm to fiber to filter, EcoStatic® sets a new benchmark for sustainable, high-performance filtration. We’re proving that the future of filtration can be both natural and innovative.
