One and only Book available in the world on this subject - ‘Autoclaving of AAC Blocks'

 

7 ReasonsWhy this Book Must Be Read



1. India is full of fake AAC consultants. This book will save lakhs of money spending on them.
2. By understanding the process and following the checklists and log sheets, one can save lots of money.
3. This book is written by one of the five senior AAC professionals available in the country with more than 17 years of hands-on experience in AAC Plants.
4. When you are planning the New AAC Plant, this will enable you to choose the right Autoclaves, and the systems connected to it.
5. Most of the plans have no long vision. They hand over the plant to some contractors and ask for the production. They damage everything in 4 or 5 years. This is ok when you want to do business for 4 or 5 years. This book and my next book on Process Control will enable you to choose your own team and manage the plant for a long time.
6. Much attention was given to Safety. If the plant is safe, employees can work without any fear, and productivity will be increased.
7. This book will also give clarity on Non-AAC Blocks.

Recipe Calculation for AAC Blocks

Recipe is nothing but knowing the dry weight (batch weight) of one batch or one cake. To find out dry weight, we should know the desired dry density of final block. Let us work on the density of 600 kg/m³. Batch Weight = Density x Mould volume Density = 600 kg/m3 Dimensions of the mould : Length = 4840 mm = 4.84 M Width = 1250 mm = 1.25 M Height = 670 mm = 0.67 M Volume of the mould: 4.84 M x 1.25 M x 0.67 M = 4.0535 M³ Batch Weight = 600 x 4.0535 = 2432 kg (We have taken mould height 670 mm, which is actually depth of the mould. Generally we maintain the cake height equal to mould level. But in some AAC factories, cake height may be 650 mm or 680 mm depending on the parameters like quantity of returns required, sinking of cake, uneven surface of the cake, etc., In this case cake height should be taken to calculate the volume.) Batch weight or Dry weight consists of binders (Cement and Quicklime), Fly ash or Sand, returns and anhydrite. Usually th

What is Aluminium Powder? Why it is used in AAC Plants?

  Aluminium Metal powder or paste Aluminium powder, which is commonly used as a reaction agent in AAC Plants, is a fine granular powder made up of Aluminium Metal. Process of Manufacture: The aluminium powder is usually manufactured in many forms such as flaky particles, granulated powder (atomised aluminium) etc. There are different processes one can use for the production of aluminium powder. The metal is melted in furnaces, and the temperature is maintained around 720 to 760 C. Atomised Aluminium is produced by blasting the stream of molten Aluminium into small articles by air jet. For this purpose, an atomiser is employed which consists of a straight tube with lower end dipped in molten metal and upper end terminating as a little orifice. A jet of hot air under pressure is passed through armular opening near the top which impinges on a stream of molten Aluminium drawn by suction through the orifice. This results in the formation of small particles of Aluminium. Th

AAC vs Non AAC Blocks

  Why Autoclaving is required when Non Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks are available in the Market? The matrix and the firmness of the AAC products are made due to autoclaving.  AAC vs Non AAC Blocks Technically, such product will start cracking by itself  when it approaches equilibrium moisture content  after a couple of years. In the case of ordinary concrete products, there are  no shrinkage troubles during the drying operation. But in foamed or aerated concrete the mixture is air  and if manufactured without autoclaving, drying  shrinkage will cause cracking. The calcium silicate hydrates formed during  autoclaving is more stable than the one formed of  cement at room temperature. Autoclaved products have low shrinkage. Cement will need four weeks to achieve its final  strength at room temperature whereas, autoclaving  takes only 12 hours. to get desired strength. The mechanical strength will not be very high and  through the drying, the shrinkage is going to be  excessive. It i
