How AAC is made

From slurry to finished block

An overview of the general AAC manufacturing process used across the industry.

  1. 01

    Raw materials

    AAC is generally made from a siliceous material (such as sand or fly ash), cement, lime, gypsum and a small amount of aluminium powder, mixed with water.

  2. 02

    Mixing & casting

    The slurry is mixed and poured into large moulds.

  3. 03

    Rising

    A reaction releases tiny gas bubbles that make the mix rise. This is what gives AAC its aerated, cellular structure.

  4. 04

    Cutting

    Once firm, the cake is wire-cut into blocks of the required dimensions.

  5. 05

    Autoclaving

    Blocks are cured under steam pressure in an autoclave.

  6. 06

    Stacking & dispatch

    Finished blocks are stacked, stored and dispatched to site.

General industry overview for information. Photos of our production line will be added soon.
