Autoclaved Aerated Concrete, universally abbreviated as AAC, is a lightweight, eco-friendly precast building material widely adopted in modern green construction. Compared with traditional clay bricks and ordinary concrete, AAC features outstanding thermal insulation, fire resistance and seismic performance. It is mainly divided into AAC blocks and AAC wall panels, and needs complete automated AAC production line equipment for standardized mass production. Nowadays, AAC has become the core preferred material for high-rise buildings, commercial complexes, residential communities and industrial factory buildings worldwide.
AAC is produced by mixing silica sand, lime, cement, gypsum and aluminum powder paste as core raw materials. After stirring, pouring, foaming, static curing, cutting and high-pressure steam autoclaving, it forms porous lightweight silicate building products. Its internal uniform tiny air pores endow AAC with multiple physical advantages that traditional building materials cannot match. It conforms to global energy-saving building standards and green building development trends.
The earliest aerated concrete technology originated in Europe in the early 20th century. In 1923, Germany successfully developed mature AAC production technology and realized industrial production. After World War II, due to the shortage of building materials and the demand for energy-saving reconstruction, AAC was rapidly popularized across Europe.
After the 1970s, AAC technology spread to Asia, North America and Oceania. With the acceleration of global urbanization and the promotion of environmental protection policies, AAC has gradually replaced traditional high-energy-consumption building materials, and the supporting AAC production line manufacturing industry has also developed rapidly and matured.
The whole AAC production process is fully automated and closed-loop. Raw materials are proportioned accurately by PLC intelligent system, mixed evenly and poured into molds for natural foaming and molding. After reaching the preset hardness through static pre-curing, the green body is cut into standard sizes by professional cutting equipment. Finally, finished AAC blocks and panels are formed after high-temperature and high-pressure autoclave curing, and then sorted, stacked and packaged for delivery.
1. Silica Sand: Main siliceous raw material, forming the main skeleton structure of AAC
2. Quick Lime: Provide alkaline reaction conditions, accelerate material hardening
3. Ordinary Portland Cement: Enhance overall structural strength and stability
4. Industrial Gypsum: Adjust curing time and improve product dimensional accuracy
5. Aluminum Powder Paste: Core foaming agent, form internal porous structure
6. Clean Industrial Water: Complete material mixing and chemical reaction
All raw materials are crushed, ground and screened to reach standard fineness, stored separately in sealed silos to avoid moisture and impurity mixing.
The intelligent batching system automatically weighs various raw materials according to fixed formulas, transports them to the mixer for full and uniform stirring to form qualified slurry.
The mixed slurry is quickly poured into fixed-size molds, and aluminum powder paste reacts chemically to make the slurry foam and expand naturally.
After pouring, the molds are sent to the static curing workshop for constant-temperature standing, so that the blank body reaches the cutting strength stably.
The solidified blank is demolded and sent to the cutting machine, which accurately cuts it into standard AAC blocks or wall panels of different specifications.
The cut semi-finished products enter the high-pressure autoclave, and complete high-temperature steam curing under stable pressure and temperature to form stable finished products.
Qualified finished products are sorted, stacked, wrapped and packaged by automatic equipment to complete the whole production process.
Used for primary crushing of bulk raw materials such as lime and silica sand, stable operation and high crushing efficiency.
