Technological automation of the production of artificial rattan furniture. How the first production of artificial rattan furniture was launched in Russia. Step-by-step instructions for starting a production workshop

The portal user tells how to independently make beautiful wicker furniture for the home.

Today we will talk about an artificial substitute for rattan (it is also called techno-rattan or poly-rattan), which is used to make wicker furniture. This material is supplied in the form of multi-colored ribbons, threads, circle segments rolled into coils. Unlike its natural "colleague", artificial rattan does not fade under the influence of ultraviolet radiation and is highly resistant to adverse weather conditions. Therefore, I often make street furniture or wicker decorative items from it that can be left on the street. all year round under snow and rain.

Many owners of suburban areas would like to put furniture made of this material in a gazebo or recreation area. But the high price of these products, which are considered a “handmade” product, stops them. It was the money issue that prompted the FORUMHOUSE user with the nickname Lulava learn to weave artificial rattan and all the wisdom of this craft to equip the living room in your house near Moscow with a beautiful and functional furniture where you can sit and relax on long winter evenings.

After searching, I found wicker furniture, which I really liked. Having caught fire with the purchase, when I saw the price tag on it, I cooled down, but the desire to have something like that overcame. Having studied the Internet, I made a firm decision - to start make wicker furniture yourself.

And here are the samples of furniture that the user liked.

Now let's announce the price tag on it: the chair costs 45 thousand rubles, corner sofa- 124 thousand rubles. No wonder that Lulava ordered 26 kg of techno-rattan - strips 9 mm wide and 1 mm thick.

Artificial rattan is sold in kilograms. Such a ratio of width and thickness, as indicated above, ultimately gives maximum length bays at a given weight, which saves.

Also, according to the user, if a do-it-yourself rattan sofa or chair is made with a platform used as self-supporting, then it is better to use a more durable polyrattan, in the form of a circle segment, 1.2-1.4 mm thick, although artificial rattan 1 mm thick has sufficient strength and bearing capacity.

The work should begin with the choice of the base, which will be braided with rattan ribbons. One of these options may be a metal frame made of galvanized or aluminum pipes. But Lulava I settled on the most technologically advanced version - a wooden one, from a bar with a section of 4x4 cm, which is then treated with antiseptic impregnations.

Rattan weaving for beginners: the nuances

The most difficult thing in the manufacture of artificial rattan furniture is the weaving process itself. Despite the many training videos on the Internet, it is not always possible to see the nuances of the technology on them. Information is not enough. Therefore, the user had to learn a lot by trial and error.

Start weaving rattan furniture with the simplest products. This will allow you not to “burn out” ahead of time, and also not to lose interest in work. And only "filling your hand", move on to more responsible subjects.

Lulava

I started the weaving work with an ottoman. Moreover, I had to redo it 3 times until I figured out how to do everything right. Then I moved on to the manufacture of the frame - the basis of the sofa. To do this, I took the dimensions of the Swedish counterpart - 2240 (length) x 660 (height) x 860 (width) mm.

Design wooden frame shown in the next photo.

The assembly was carried out on the "75th", the so-called. "black" screws. Although such fasteners are not the most the best option to connect critical structures (for self-tapping screws it can cut off the hats), the main thing is to think about how the load is distributed.

The armrests of the sofa should not "hang" in the air. The part must rest directly on the load-bearing frame, and the main load is redistributed on it. Self-tapping screws are needed only to fix the armrest - to connect it to the base in the desired position and prevent shifting.

When weaving artificial rattan, it is important to remember that one wrong stitch made at the very beginning will lead to a marriage of the product. Everything will have to start over. Making furniture from polyrattan is the lot of the attentive and patient.

Lulava

It is most convenient to work by placing furniture on a stand. Even after watching the video with weaving master classes, I still have questions about the secrets of work. Everything had to be learned through experience.

Of the weaving tools we need:

• Stapler - it is necessary for fixing strips of polyrattan with staples to wooden base;
• Small pliers, with their help it is convenient to remove the bent bracket;
• A hammer of small weight, needed for finishing staples;
• Knife or cutter;
• Soldering iron or superglue.

A soldering iron is needed to solder the lock - at the junction of the strips.

interesting practical advice for working with techno-rattan. We assemble the frame with maximum geometric accuracy. Misalignments or inaccuracies in measurements can cause more stitches to be sewn on one side than on the other, or gaps or slits remain.

According to Lulava, not important- the length of the sofa, the width of the armrest, because the pitch of the vertical threads can be changed.

But especially important- the height of the sofa, the length of the armrest and the height of the sofa on the front side (from the seat to the bottom edge).

The weaving itself is carried out without the use of a shuttle, because Polyrattan is a tough material and pulls well through the rows. The use of the shuttle will only complicate the work of threading it between the strips.

Over the years, production victories on the part of the Russian industrial community have noticeably diminished. More and more people praise the West and less and less remember their own achievements. Meanwhile, the country has not lost enterprising people. For example, the Vologda entrepreneur Yevgeny Suvorov became a pioneer in the production of a full cycle of wicker furniture made of artificial rattan in Russia.

Rattan furniture found its connoisseurs back in Tsarist Russia in the 18th century. Then, according to historians, this newfangled accessory made from natural raw materials was presented to the high society under the patronage of Prince Golitsyn. However, with the creation of an innovative material in the 1940s - artificial rattan, new era exotic furniture. It was her first time in Russian Federation began to be produced in the Vologda region under the mebius brand.

Upstream

And it all started rather banally. Traveling around Greece, the director of Atlantica LLC saw for the first time wicker furniture made of artificial rattan. Returning to his homeland, he began to be interested in this product and found out that in Russia no one makes anything like it. The nearest manufacturer of similar furniture was found only in Ukraine. At that time, this market segment was occupied only by sellers of finished products, but there was no hint of release. Through outsourcing, the newly minted businessman analyzed the capacity of the Russian market, investigated consumer interest and demand. After that, he made the final decision to launch the production of wicker furniture from artificial rattan in the domestic format with an initial capital of more than 10 million rubles.

The decision to open a full-cycle enterprise was based on avoiding dependence on imports. Initially, it was clear that the own production of artificial rattan tape would allow in the future to produce material of any length, and the color, shape and section could be set depending on the design of the future product. At the same time, the head initially set a high bar for himself and his subordinates - to produce products of impeccable quality. In his opinion, only by releasing tape on our own equipment, you can fully control the entire process, being responsible for the quality of the final product. Added to this the control of incoming materials for the manufacture of furniture frames - aluminum and steel Russian production, double quality control of manufactured products, the manufacturer has achieved its goal: wicker furniture meets all quality requirements European level. Undoubtedly, desire alone is not enough. Soon, the ideas took on very real forms in the form of a factory and were complemented by specialized equipment from China. For an effective start of production, specialists were brought in to set up the purchased equipment, and then the active learning personnel. First of all, specialists of an almost obsolete profession - ivoples - got jobs. At that time, the entire staff consisted of a couple of dozen people. The main workshop was located in Sokol, where frames were made of aluminum so that the furniture was light, the metal did not oxidize or rust. Here the frames were cooked and braided. And they also created several types of rattan: round, flat, and “lentil” semicircle.

A lot of time passed until the production reached a qualitative level, until the composition of artificial rattan threads became such that it provides strength, reliability, elasticity. We brought the threads of artificial rattan to ideal proportions so that the furniture retains its color, shape for a long time and is comfortable, convenient and ergonomic.

In search of a "fairway"

Of course, there were no ready-made instructions for launching such production. By trial and error, the team succeeded. At first glance, the production process is not that complicated: the production of mebius artificial rattan tape is followed by the welding of the carcass, its powder coating, drying, manual weaving, finished product control and packaging. However, it turned out, as in the original Russian proverb - the first pancake came out lumpy. The debut of furniture samples released in 2011 did not take place.

The first batch of custom-made products had to be returned and a number of tests of the finished product were carried out in order to further refine the formula of the tape itself. Starting wholesale sales in 2011, it was difficult to overcome the barrier associated with distrust that a full-cycle production of wicker furniture appeared in Russia. Many of the companies that salespeople called were wary of the offer. Who knows, maybe a potential consumer was confused by the fact that the manufacturer purposefully used domestic raw materials? After all, aluminum, metal and materials for the production of the tape were only Russian brands. Or is it the belief that the best quality is hidden behind the label of foreign brands? Of course, one cannot understand Russia with the mind, but Yevgeny Suvorov did not entrust the fate of the enterprise into the arms of prejudices. Therefore, he made a lot of efforts to bring his own brand to furniture market including thanks to industry presentation events. In March 2012, at the Home and Garden exhibition, which was held in Moscow, the factory presented its products to potential buyers. They were able to see for themselves how comfortable and harmonious such furniture is. And the result was not long in coming: the first sales began from the exhibition podium.

At first, they focused only on the capital region and the domestic market of the Vologda Oblast. Knowing full well that the cost of products is rather high, for example, the retail price of an armchair was 11,800 rubles, they continued to offer their furniture to a wide range of potential customers. And the company managed to find its niche. Gradually, the level of sales stabilized: about 60% of orders for furniture came from the owners of cafes, restaurants and country cottages, the remaining 40% came from retailers. Moreover, about a third of the total volume of manufactured products were precisely individual developments for the size and design of the buyer.

Get on the right course

Initially, some of the products were produced by analogy with Spanish and Italian products, since the models of these manufacturing countries were popular on Russian market. Most of the client portfolio are wholesale companies engaged in the complex equipment of hotels, hotels and restaurants. Based on the requested models of wicker furniture from these companies, we formed the initial price list of manufactured products. In the future, based on their own preferences, visiting exhibitions and being inspired by ideas, engineers and master braiders presented new products.

Of course, all the details of the production were discussed and are being discussed with specialists literally down to the smallest detail. According to the manager, everything is important in the new product - how the frame will be designed, which tape is better to use in terms of width and texture, whether it will be convenient to subsequently braid the frame for braiders, etc. The manufacturer has always had a serious approach to the choice of raw materials and materials used in production, because the quality of the final product depends on it. Therefore, materials introduced into production are always tested before the release of the batch. So, artificial rattan is a polymer thread obtained by extrusion. Under a certain temperature, the plastic is melted and passed through a special mold-hole.

The main advantage of artificial rattan from the real one is the absence of organic and mineral substances that cause aging, rot and corrosion of real wood. According to the assurances of the company's specialists, their rattan will last 25 years. They produce the tape on the basis of polyethylene, as a result of which the furniture is absolutely light, non-toxic, with UV protection and quite durable. As a rule, certification of these products is not required. However, since 2013, the company has been conducting the procedure voluntarily, carrying out all the necessary laboratory tests.

Now for all products there are Declarations of the Eurasian Economic Union, which confirm the compliance of products with the established requirements. As well as the GOST R ISO 9001-2015 Certificate, thanks to which the company replenishes its client portfolio and expands its business opportunities, up to receiving government orders and working with foreign partners. According to the marketing service of the company, over the years, the demand for manufactured goods is only growing. And this is due not only to import substitution, but also to the already established reputation.

The factory positions itself as a furniture manufacturer according to affordable price and in a short time. From the moment of idea to the creation of a finished furniture line, an average of 1-2 months passes. If a novelty is designed based on an existing model, then the process goes much faster. Sometimes experienced specialists can develop a model in two days, strictly following the design postulates. More precisely, on the basis of the designer's drawings, a prototype is produced, which is finalized according to ergonomics, so that the product is not only beautiful, but also comfortable and suits the customer.

Take, for example, the economy line launched this year on a metal frame. It clearly meets the needs of the market in the current unstable situation in Russia. This furniture is also functional, comfortable and elegant, like its expensive natural counterparts. At the same time, it is not devoid of the ability to emphasize the individuality of any interior, and the intricate shapes of chairs and armchairs add a spicy “zest”, allowing you to embody the most daring design ideas in the life of any owner.

Today, production is at the stage of active development and sells its products throughout Russia and abroad. However, the company does not stop there and continues to expand the geography of its presence by searching for sales representatives, dealers in the territories of the countries of the Russian Federation, the CIS, the Baltic states and countries of near and far abroad.

Constantly improving and expanding the range of products, specialists are focused on production processes and improving the level of quality and manufacturability. The technology used allows them to produce material of any length, and they select the color, shape and section depending on the design of the future product. The close-knit team of the company is confident that their furniture is unique, since they are the only ones in Russia who have all the capabilities to provide high-quality wicker furniture on a scale comparable only to Chinese production. If once the release of this furniture was limited to a couple of attributes, now the range of products is presented various variations dining groups, sun loungers, armchairs, lines of ordinary and garden furniture, as well as popular compact modular sets to save space in the interior.

Our colleagues from Chelyabinsk, the very ones who periodically make pipe Thursdays in our VK group, have begun to produce artificial rattan. Previously, we heard about him only that he is very expensive. Turns out. it was then about natural rattan, artificial - it will cost much less, and it looks no worse. What other advantages this material has, and most importantly, how to apply it correctly, we found out especially for you.

What is the difference between artificial rattan and natural

Artificial rattan is produced in the form of strips, cut or wound into a bay.

It is obtained from polyethylene granules. The raw material is loaded into an extruder, a special molding device, where it is heated, stretched, and calibrated. As a result of thermal exposure, the workpieces become soft, so they stretch faster. The finished polyrattan looks like this

When compared with classic wood rattan, the difference is almost not noticeable.

On top of the palm rattan, if you look closely, you can see small "burrs", characteristic of all wood materials. Synthetic fiber underneath. It is smooth, pleasant to the touch and does not prick at all.

Besides, artificial rattan more durable, will last at least 50 years. In heat and cold, it retains its excellent shape, is not afraid of plaque and dirt, and also withstands increased loads. Thanks to this, artificial rattan furniture is very popular with gardeners, summer residents and other lovers of country life.

Such furniture will not deteriorate from a long stay on the street. No cracks or cracks. Maintenance is minimal. Dirt, dust, leaf residues can be removed with a normal water jet from a hose. For the winter, furniture is removed to the house or pantry; special storage conditions do not need to be observed. Perfect option for open spaces.

How to make artificial rattan furniture with your own hands

Artificial rattan is easily woven onto any stable frame. Most often, the base is made of aluminum. The profiles are connected by arc welding.

The finished structure is cleaned, degreased, leveled, and only then they begin to weave. The workpiece in the photo was cooked by a professional. She is quite tall and disproportionate. It is better for a beginner to start with simpler forms. Old wooden chair or a small ottoman in a couple of hours will turn into real handmade masterpieces.

For example, like this pretty stool braided with artificial rattan threads. For its manufacture, the simplest materials and tools are needed. From wooden planks we knock together the base, do not forget about the legs.

1. We fit on both sides with basic strips, fasten with staples or self-tapping screws.

2. We start to weave. We alternate long and short strips, burn the ends with a soldering iron. The canvas should be solid. Press on it with your hand, if it is solid and springy, then you have not messed up anything.

3. Remains of threads hide under the seat and also fix with brackets or nail.

Advice. When the thread is tight, wipe it with a piece of cloth dipped in vegetable oil.

Who can buy inexpensive rattan

A lot of people are engaged in the sale of artificial rattan. These are commercial firms in Russia and abroad, large factories, as well as craftsmen who work exclusively for themselves. Before giving away your hard-earned money, albeit not so much money, check if you are being deceived. Are you going to a retail store? Great. Ask the consultant to show the documents for the goods. In the invoice, check, extract, see who made the material, when and how much it costs. Compare the information with what the specialist told you and draw conclusions.

If you decide to order rattan online, compare prices and read the terms of delivery. And best of all, if it is the manufacturer's website, so you will have a return guarantee. You will be able to make a claim, as they say exactly "at the address."

As we wrote at the very beginning, our partners in Chelyabinsk are engaged in the production of artificial rattan, and send it all over Russia. The guys have their own lines for crushing and processing raw materials, plus everything - a huge experience in working with polyethylene. It is from it that artificial rattan is made. You can order a minimum of 2 bays, each with 5 kilograms. See all the details or call our manager, he is in the know.

Most people who decide to start their own business, first of all pay attention to trading. WITH minimum investment you can open a small point in the market. A large store will require large expenses. But in order for a business to become truly profitable, an entrepreneur should come up with his own zest. Otherwise, there will be no difference from competitors.

To earn almost immediately, you need to go into a type of business that is not yet so common. You can start producing artificial rattan furniture. It is both exciting and will bring a lot of income.

artificial rattan

Many people already know rattan furniture. Original wicker tables, chairs and armchairs can decorate any interior. At the same time, natural rattan is a rather expensive material that not everyone can afford. There is a cheap analogue called artificial rattan. This is a special synthetic thread, which is obtained by forcing material through a hole of a certain diameter. As a result, the resulting raw material has almost the same properties as the natural vine.

Rattan artificial looks beautiful and natural. In addition, there is an opportunity to save nature. After all, the natural vine does not have time to grow at the pace with which it is used in the manufacture of furniture.

Advantages

Artificial rattan does not require special operational handling. It is very easy to maintain, easy to clean and repair. Outdoor furniture should only be periodically wiped with a damp cloth. Synthetic material does not react to weather changes and does not change under the influence of ultraviolet radiation.

The natural vine from which expensive furniture is made can germinate. There is no such problem if the garden chair is made of synthetic thread. However, many artificial products practically do not differ from natural ones.

Reviews of artificial rattan furniture

Buyers note that tables and chairs made of artificial vines practically do not differ from furniture made from natural raw materials. At the same time, artificial rattan has a huge number of advantages. This the best option for the street. After all, the material does not deteriorate under the influence of direct sun rays or precipitation. This cannot be said about natural raw materials. Garden furniture made from artificial rattan can last for years, while chairs and tables made from natural material quickly lose their shape. In addition, artificial thread is much cheaper.

Manufacturers also share the benefits of making artificial rattan furniture. All you need is an apparatus for making synthetic thread. Everything else can be done manually by production staff. You don't need a lot of start-up capital to start your own business.

What can be made from artificial rattan?

Items made of synthetic thread should be not only beautiful, but also practical. The most demanded is garden furniture made of artificial rattan. small chairs, coffee tables, stools, swings - all this is perfect for a small courtyard. Such furniture is very comfortable. In addition, it will add zest to the garden.

In the house wicker furniture made of artificial rattan will also look very original. In a special style, you can decorate not only the hall, but also the kitchen or bathroom. After all, artificial rattan is not at all afraid of moisture, unlike natural material. You can decorate wicker furniture with small pillows to match.

Equipment for the production of

First of all, you will have to spend money on equipment for the manufacture of artificial thread and its weaving. Of course, you can buy ready-made raw materials. But in this case, the business will not be so profitable. In addition, those who have a special machine for making artificial rattan can experiment with colors and shapes. You can make a thread that will not differ in color from natural vines, or you can add bright colors to the product.

Additionally, wicker furniture made of artificial rattan will require the cost of such installations: a cooling system, a winder, a mixer, a crusher for recycling secondary raw materials. Acquiring all this equipment will be quite expensive. You will have to spend at least 1 million rubles. On initial stage All these installations can be rented with subsequent redemption.

What else can you earn with your own equipment?

Own installation for the manufacture of artificial rattan in itself can bring a good income. You can make artificial thread for those who want to make furniture, but do not have the initial capital to purchase their equipment. That is, an artificial thread can be produced for sale. In addition, artificial rattan is not the only material that can be made. If you purchase additional attachments, you can make synthetic reeds, raffia or other materials that you can use in your own business or sell to partners.

It should be noted that the equipment for the production of artificial rattan is difficult to maintain. You will have to periodically invite specialists to set up the installation and check its operation. Prevention should not be neglected. Artificial rattan of high quality can only be made on the appropriate equipment. Synthetic threads must be uniform in structure and strong.

Sales market

Artificial rattan furniture has appeared on the domestic market relatively recently. This is due to the fact that natural raw materials are quite expensive. Few could afford wicker furniture before. And there were no installations for the manufacture of synthetic threads in Russia. A set of artificial rattan, brought from abroad, also cost a lot of money.

Today, the domestic wicker furniture market is developing quite actively. At the same time, competition in this niche is still low. Not everyone decides independent production artificial rattan furniture And those with a dedicated setup can offer quality tables, armchairs and chairs at an affordable price. The low cost of quality products has always attracted the consumer. Therefore, those who decide to engage in this type of business will definitely not have problems with the sales market.

We have already talked about wicker furniture production from natural willow, which has a number of significant advantages, starting with the availability of a start in this business and ending with the commercial attractiveness of the finished product. And yet, such furniture is more suitable for household use, primarily due to the negative impact of weather factors in winter time. Another thing - wicker chairs and sofas made of rattan, a synthetic vine made in the extrusion process.

« artificial rattan- this is a synthetic thread, which is obtained by forcing a material melt through a forming hole, - explains a business angel, an expert in the startup community, Ph.D. n. Associate Professor Igor Malyugin. - In fact, he has the properties of a natural vine, but is not afraid of the whims of mother nature. Plus, it is not the cause of the destruction of willow thickets.

All this may be of interest to a wide range of buyers, including those from the dacha community. Since there is demand, there must be supply, which means the idea of ​​​​how to open furniture business for the production of rattan furniture, may well become a relevant business idea.

Buyers and manufacturers

People who have bought wicker rattan furniture note its high performance. “We bought rattan chairs for our outdoor cafe,” says Irina Markova from Sochi. - In texture, they resemble natural wicker furniture, but based on an aluminum frame. It's practical for us since we don't hide it all year round."

What do manufacturers think about production? Evgeny Suvorov from the city of Sokol, which is located in the Vologda region, brought to life a business idea for the production of such furniture. According to him, the most important unit in this business is a machine for the production of artificial thread for weaving, and everything else, including frames, is produced by 20 employees of his Atlantic enterprise.

Another manufacturer of rattan furniture, Igor Malakhov, general director of the Street Gatherings company, notes the convenience of weaving from artificial thread compared to willow vines. “Willow rods need to be spliced,” he says. “And synthetic braid doesn’t need that, it’s made from endless vines, which makes it more durable.” According to him, buyers have already appreciated the quality of this furniture, for example, benches for garden plots.

Extruders, extruders - well, where now without you

Almost all industries, one way or another connected with synthetics, have extruders in their fleet of machines and equipment. Rattan production is no exception. “We also have an extruder installed, it makes no sense to open a furniture business with rattan without it,” says Igor Malakhov. - What is good about rattan, its production requires a low melt temperature, the effect of plasticization occurs without problems and, most importantly, is controllable. For example, you can make thread for a reed.”

Depending on the setting, it is possible to produce a rod with imitation of tree bark, a strip with a texture or in the form of a regular rod. Imitation under the tree bark is profiled polyethylene threads, as a rule, of a semicircular shape, but if desired, they can take on an oval or crescent profile. A strip with a texture is from 6 to 12 mm, and a rod is 3-8 mm in diameter.

A typical line includes a set of equipment, which, in addition to the extruder, includes a cooling system, a 4-wheel transport vehicle, a winder, a recycling crusher and a mixer. “This pleasure costs about 1.5 million rubles,” explains Igor Malyugin. “But this is already a real factory, since the production of aluminum frames can be organized on the basis of inexpensive automatic pipe benders.”

“For the uninitiated: natural rattan is a tropical liana, which can be of considerable length (up to 200 m) and an even diameter, sometimes more than 70 mm,” writes forum member AC78. - Like willow vine, palm rattan loses to its artificial counterpart in terms of price and quality. I do not produce, but I buy this thread and I weave furniture at home. I have decent money. And if they ask me how to open a furniture business, I confidently answer that it’s worth starting with artificial rattan.”

“Now there are a lot of wealthy people who buy crossovers for one and a half lemons,” a person with the nickname Vasilich shares his opinion. - For that kind of money, I would buy a plant for the production of artificial rattan. And now I work for an “uncle” who has this equipment, and I see that the boss has good money in this business. And yet, for those who have laid their eyes on this matter: their own synthetics are more profitable than bought ones.

“Yes, the start is not cheap, plus it will require placement of 150-200 squares, in general, nothing complicated,” Mykola Azarov from Khimki left his post. - I organized a startup two years ago, I planned to recoup the loan in three years. Moneylender bankers almost gave me a heart attack, so I sold the business. The kid who bought it from me said at the meeting that this is a business as a business, but it has seasonal ups and downs.

Thus, one can enter into entrepreneurship seriously with a total investment of 2-2.5 million rubles, or with an easy start by buying ready-made artificial rattan. Both the first and the second options have their pros and cons, however, this business idea has every reason to become viviparous.
