AAC Block Manufacturing Process

AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) blocks are made from a unique mixture of cement, lime, sand, fly ash, and a rising agent (aluminum powder). After mixing, the slurry is poured into molds, allowed to rise, and then cured in an autoclave at high pressure and temperature. This process results in lightweight yet durable blocks with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.

6-Step Manufacturing Process

Scientific precision ensuring superior quality at every stage

1

Raw Materials Selection

High-quality raw materials are carefully selected and proportioned: cement, lime, sand, fly ash, and aluminum powder.

Materials:
Cement • Lime • Sand • Fly Ash • Aluminum Powder

Purity: 99.8% Quality Control
2

Mixing & Foaming Process

Aluminum powder undergoes controlled chemical reaction with alkali, generating hydrogen gas bubbles that uniformly expand the mixture.

Process Duration: 45-60 minutes
Expansion Ratio: 2-3x initial volume
Void Creation: 50% of total volume
3

Cutting & Shaping

Once the foam achieves semi-solid consistency, the hardened cake is cut into precise block dimensions using advanced multi-wire cutting technology.

Precision Level: ±2mm accuracy
Technology: Automated wire cutting
Material Waste: Minimal/Zero waste
4

Autoclave Curing

Blocks undergo high-pressure steam curing in autoclave chambers at 190°C and 10-12 bar pressure for maximum strength development.

Temperature: 190°C
Pressure: 10-12 bar
Duration: 8-12 hours
5

Quality Testing & Inspection

Each batch undergoes rigorous testing including compression strength testing, water absorption analysis, and dimensional verification.

Testing Method: 100% Sampling
Standards: BIS 2185-1 Compliant
Certification: ISO & BIS Approved
6

Packaging & Delivery

Finished blocks are stacked, strapped, and palletized using automated systems ensuring safe and efficient delivery to construction sites.

Stacking: 45 blocks per pallet
Total Weight: ~270 kg per pallet
Delivery Time: 24-48 hours (Gurgaon/NCR)
50,000+ Blocks Produced Monthly
99.8% Quality Pass Rate
24-48 hrs Delivery Timeline
BIS & ISO Fully Certified

Why Autoclaving Matters

The key to superior AAC block quality and performance

Superior Strength

Autoclaving creates stable calcium silicate hydrate crystals (C-S-H), resulting in exceptional compressive strength that exceeds conventional blocks by 3-4 times.

Thermal Efficiency

The autoclaving process creates a microporous structure that provides superior thermal insulation, reducing energy consumption by 30% compared to conventional materials.

Dimensional Stability

Autoclaving prevents thermal stress and ensures uniform density distribution, maintaining dimensional accuracy (±2mm) and long-term stability for 60+ years.
