CONCRETE BLOCK PLANT

Since 1882, when the first concrete block was molded, concrete masonry has become a standard building material. Concrete blocks create structures that are economical, energy efficient, fire-resistant, and involve minimal maintenance. In addition, concrete masonry allows architectural freedom and versatility.

ABOUT CONCRETE BLOCK PLANT

The standard concrete block is a rectangular 8X8X16-inch unit (200X200X400 mm) made mainly of portland cement, gravel, sand, and water. The concrete mixture may also contain ingredients such as air-entraining agents, coloring pigment, and water repellent. During the manufacturing process, a machine molds moist, low-slump concrete into the desired shapes. These blocks then undergo an accelerated curing process at elevated temperatures inside a special chamber. This is generally followed by a storage or drying phase.

CONCRETE MASONRY

Concrete masonry is widely used to construct small and large structures. The most common application of concrete masonry is walls for buildings. However, other uses for concrete masonry units include retaining walls, chimneys, fireplaces, and firesafe enclosures of stairwells, elevator shafts, and storage vaults.

Concrete masonry units can be manufactured for virtually any architectural or structural function. Split-face block units have been fractured lengthwise or crosswise by machine to produce a rough stone-like texture. The split face exposes the aggregates in the various planes of fracture. A patented slotted concrete block provides high sound absorption, making it ideal for use in gymnasiums, factories, bowling alleys, or other places where noise generation is high. Glazed concrete masonry units are used in swimming pools where sanitation and a durable, attractive finish are needed.
