AAC Blocks Manufacturing Process and its Advantages by Mohta Cement Pvt. Ltd.

Introduction of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks

AAC Block known as Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Block is a building material which is used for both exterior and interior construction purpose. AAC Blocks features in lightweight suitable for easy construction work. They are also called as lightweight bricks. Due to the lightweight, they minimize the dead weight of the particular structure. Today AAC Blocks have become popular in the field of construction all over the world for their unique features.

Lightweight precast concrete containing air bubbles throughout the material, which in autoclaved aerated concrete block, to obtain a low density of lightweight materials in an autoclave oven.

The production process of the Autoclaved Aerated Concrete blocks can be summarized as below:

To know the manufacturing process of AAC blocks Mohta Cement Pvt. Ltd. going to describe process how AAC blocks produce.

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) or Cellular (aerated) Light Weight Concrete (CLC) can be manufactured by a process involving the mixing of fly ash, cement, coarse sand, fine sand and a forming agent in a mixer to form thin slurry. The slurry is then poured in moulds and allowed to set. The blocks are then removed from the moulds and are cured by spraying water on the stack. They can be cured by Autoclaving with steam.

The process is carried out in the following steps.

1. Mixing fly ash and calcined gypsum

2. Mixing additives and cement

3. Mixing lime

4. Mixing blowing agent

5. Pouring into moulds

6. Cutting

7. Curing

8. Autoclaving

Advantages  of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete

• AAC’s excellent thermal efficiency makes a major contribution to environmental protection by sharply reducing the need for heating and cooling in buildings.
• AAC’s easy workability allows accurate cutting, which minimizes the generation of solid waste during use. Unlike other building materials, AAC can eliminate the need to be used in combination with insulation products, which increase the environmental impact and cost of construction.
• AAC’s high resource efficiency gives it low environmental impact in all phases of its life cycle, from processing of raw materials to the disposal of AAC waste.
• AAC blocks are extremely light, just one-third the weight of clay bricks. They are much easier to handle on the site.
• AAC blocks l covers the same area as that 14 clay bricks do, enabling a faster construction results in saving of labor, time and material.
• AAC’s excellent thermal properties help in saving recurring costs of heating and cooling.
• AAC’s light weight also saves energy in transportation. The fact that AAC is up to five times lighter than concrete leads to significant reductions in CO2 emissions during transportation. In addition, many AAC manufacturers apply the principle of producing as near to their consumer markets as possible to reduce the need for transportation.

Mohta Cement Pvt. Ltd. is a leading aac block manufacturer and supplier, that is well known as an environmentally friendly construction material. The finished product is twice the volume of the raw materials used, making it extremely resource-efficient and environmentally friendly.
