AAC Blocks Creator Machinery

Light Weight:
It weighs approximately 1/3 of the weight of normal walling materials. AAC provides significant benefits where weight is a concern in building design. AAC is the perfect material for renovations. It causes dead weight reduction of the building and hence the reduction in structural costs.

Sound proof:
AAC wall has an excellent Sound transmission Class (STC) rating of 44. Result virtually sound proof interiors. AAC consists 80% air by volume, making it lightest available Walling Material (weighs 1/4th that of clay bricks). It was formed as a result of reaction of Aluminum on a proportionate blend of Lime, Cement Flyash; the hydrogen gas that escapes creates millions of tiny air cells giving it a strong honeycomb like structure. It is further strengthened by High pressure steam curing in Autoclaves.

AAC Block Features formed by AAC Block Plants:

Cost savings :
Being light weight AAC drastically reduces the weight of the building. Resulting into reduction in steel (up to 27%) and cement (up to 20%) structural cost savings. Being 8 times the size of a clay brick, AAC wall construction involves 1/3rd of the joints, thus an overall mortar savings up to 66%. Its automatic manufacturing process gives AAC an exceptional dimensional accuracy &smooth surfaces, eliminating need of three-coat plaster walls and allows for a final 6mm skin coat (putty/pop).

Savings in Plaster:
AAC blocks have uniform shape and texture, which give even surface to the walls. There is overall 35% reduction in the cost of plasterwork.

Reduction in wastage due to fewer breakages:
Unlike conventional clay bricks which are prone to breakages, around 25 %. AAC blocks have almost nil breakages.

Reduction in HVAC load:
AAC blocks are resistant to thermal variation. They reduce total load of air-conditioning / cooling. Though initial installation cost may remain same AAC blocks reduces operation and maintenance cost drastically. There is overall 25% saving in operation cost.

Floor Space Area:
Use of thinner blocks (6” instead of 9” exterior walls) because of its excellent water barrier & insulation properties leads to an increase in floor space area between 3-5%.

Other Features
Ease of working
AAC can be drilled, sawed, nailed, and chiseled. Basically, one may work Autoclaved Aerated Concrete like wood, using wood working tools.

Faster Construction:
AAC's advantages in construction is its quick and easy installation since the material can be routed, sanded and cut to size on site using standard carbon tip band saws, hand saws and drills.
