AAC (Autoclave Aerated Concrete) is a new type building material where the raw materials are siliceous materials (fly-ash, sand, slag), calcareous materials (lime, cement and gypsum) and Aluminium powder.

      AAC product has been widely used in industrial and civil construction. AAC product can be divided into AAC block and AAC plate.

      AAC technology is recommended for large scale production and consumption.

      Feature of AAC

        Light mass: 300-800 kg/ m3

        Good thermal insulation property: 0.1-0.20W/(m.k)

        High Intensity

        Fireproofing

        Good sound insulation

        Heat resistant

        Earthquake-proof

        Mechanized construction

        The preparing of the raw material

        Fly ash(sand), gypsum

        The slurry is the admixture of fly ash (sand) and gypsum. Mixed fly ash (sand) and gypsum in certain proportion in the slurry mixer tank, and then add water into slurry; finally, we can get the appropriate concentration slurry, and then it will be pumped by slurry pump into slurry tanks for pouring.

        Quicklime

        Massive quicklime is transported and stacked in the lime material shelter. The lime block is broken by jaw crusher, and then the belt conveyor will deliver it into ball mill; the ball mill will grind the lime into powder. Finally, the lime powder will be elevated into lime powder silo for reservation.

        Cement

        Use of bulk cement. Bulk cement is transported to the plant site by truck and then pumped directly into cement silos for reservation.

        Aluminium Powder

        Aluminum powder or aluminum powder (paste) in barrels purchased from market are stored in aluminum powder warehouse. The worker will weigh it, and then put it into aluminum mixer, then make a 5% suspension for reservation.

        Recirculating slurry

        Trims and scraps from cutting will fall into chute under the cutting machine. The water washes the scrap into the waste slurry tank. After mixing to a certain concentration, the waste slurry pump will pump it into the waste slurry tank.

        Batching, Mixing, Pouring and pre-curing

        Lime and cement was delivered into electronic powder scales by single screw pipe feeder. Through cumulative measurement, the unloading devices will dump them into pouring mixer.

        Though the slurry tank valve, the fly ash (sand) pulp went into slurry tank, and then pumped into ingredients ceiling for measurement by electronic scale; when the weight of slurry achieve the requirement; the automatic control system stop putting slurry down by turn off the tank valve. The measured slurry will be put into pouring mixer

        Aluminium is measured by manual, and then put into aluminium mixer for making suspension which was once per mould. The beated suspension was put into pouring mixer directly.

        The temperature of slurry should be reached the process requirement before pouring. If the temperature is not enough, it could be heat by steam. When pouring, ferry cart carry the mould to the position under the pouring mixer, and then the pouring mixer put slurry into mould for pouring. After pouring, the mould with slurry will stay in the pre-curing room for 2-3 hours. During this period, the aluminium powder will react, and the hydrogen will be released under the action of Si and Ca material. The slurry will become the solid cake, and volume expand.

        Cutting and grouping

        After pre-curing and reach the cutting intensity (tested by special instrument or determined by production experience), the cake will be transported to cutting position through turning crane. The turning hoister will turn the mould in 90 degree and strip off the mould frame, and the cake will stand in the side plate. Finally, the longitudinal cutter and traverse cutter will cut the cake. After the cake was cut, the crane will transport it to the hardening carriage and group it in front of autoclave.

        Curing and leaving autoclave

        The low speed winch will load grouped cake to the autoclave for curing. The cake will be in isopiestic pressure environment about 7-10 hours, and the vapor pressure is 1.3Mpa. The temperature of the autoclave is about 190?˜sdash;210?šŽCured cake will be pulled out of autoclave by low speed winch, and the end product will be transported manually to truck or store at the storage yard. Then hardening carriage and side plate will be return for recycling. Then the worker will assemble the mould with mould frame and side plate, and clean and oil it for new round.

        The reclaim system of waste slurry

        After cutting, the wet waste slurry will fall into pond under the cutting machine. The water will wash it into waste slurry mixer. Then mixed each other until reach the concentration, it will be pump into the batching section for reservation. According to the requirement of pouring, the waste slurry will add the appropriate proportion of raw material, and then for recycling use.
