AAC Plant

AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) was invented in the mid-1920s by the Swedish architect and inventor Johan Axel Eriksson. AAC is one of the major achievements of the 20^thcentury in the field of construction. It is a lightweight, precast building material that simultaneously provides structure, insulation, and fire and mold resistance. AAC block is lightweight and offers ultimate workability, flexibility and durability.

Main ingredients include fly ash, water, quicklime, cement, aluminum powderand gypsum. The block hardness is being achieved by cement strength, and instant curing mechanism by autoclaving. The chemical reaction due to the aluminum paste provides AAC its distinct porous structure, lightness, and insulation properties, completely different compared to other lightweight concrete materials. The finished product is a 2.5 times lighter Block compared to conventional Bricks, while providing the similar strengths. The specific gravity stays around 0.6 to 0.65. This is one single most USP of the AAC blocks, because by using these blocks in structural buildings, the builder saves around 30 to 35 % of structural steel, and concrete, as these blocks reduce the dead load on the building significantly.

1. Production equipments and Technology of the AAC Blocks process.

2. Special lay out for your factory and One year equipment warranty.

3. Transfer of know-how with the training in your site.

4. Set up and installation in the customer facility

The advantages are as follows:

1. Consumes Fly ash, which is a big problem for thermal power plants to dispose. It is environment friendly, because of no need of burning.

2. Higher strength, best thermal insulation & excellent sound absorption, vibration resistance compared to red bricks. The AAC product’s lightweight and easy workability means that is very quick to install on site and transportation with lesser brakeage.

3. AAC blocks made walls can be left exposed (without Plaster) and gains strength over time. It saves structural cost by 35% and recycling of breakage, rejects also.

4. AAC products are not affected by harsh climatic conditions and will not degrade under normal atmospheric conditions.

5. AAC Block does not have any toxic substances or emit odors. Its production, management and disposal do not represent any health risks or damage to the environment. Its production process develops non-toxic gases.

6. AAC blocks are bigger in size then conventional bricks, resulting in lesser number of joints. Less joints result in lesser quantity of mortar required, resulting in saving of mortar.
