Genius Way They Produce Million of Light Concrete Blocks Every Year

In this episode on Tekniq, we shall walk through the meticulous process of formulating modules of blocks made of lightweight foam concrete

I really admire their safety boot. They look pretty light!

[@utubeape]

[@peta1001]

The Steve is a silver-spoon baby obviously. Why? Safety boots protect noncompetent (stupid) workers and put more money in boot-making and boot-certifying business-owners' pockets than into the workers'. Yes, our western civilization has the boots, but no one knows how to make the affordable bricks any more. The Roman Empire collapsed when silver-spoon babies started to run it.

[@phillhuddleston9445]

This is foamed cement, it is not nearly as strong as regular concrete but it is light weight and very insulative. It appears that they are adding in fibers that help reinforce it as it dries to make it stronger by resisting cracking as it is drying but it is still not nearly as strong as what most think of when we think of concrete. The thing that makes this light and insulative is that there are millions of tiny bubbles in it that create air pockets, this is done with foam created by a chemical similar to dish soup that is added to the mix but unlike regular concrete this has no stone aggregate or large rocks and little if any sand just portland cement, water and the foam mixture that contains the air bubbles. The density and strength can vary from extremely light and weak to a medium density and strength and that medium strength is what I suspect the mixture in this video is made from.

[@petrklic7064]

Still good for common masonry or 2-story family houses. 1-story houses can be build from compressed hay. No problem.

I thought they made the bricks by hand and i never thought of the light weight foam.. I had no clue. Pretty cool how they did that. Thanks for sharing.

[@Itried20takennames]

It’s apparently hard to do, so they get credit for that, but lots of people make this (believe it’s called aircrete with the foam) and my guess is that they weren’t the inventors. It apparently takes just the right mixture and handling to work.

[@TheTruth.K.J.V.]

NOT FOAM it is a soap and oil mixture used to release the concrete from the forms. THAT is 100% concrete.

[@xXxcastenada]

Aircrete would have more bubbles with a less consistent finish.

[@winnipegnick]

@@TheTruth.K.J.V. if you fast forward to 3:30, you can see where they add foam into the mix. There are many videos where people make foam from soap and mix it in with cement.

I would like to know what the content of the mixture is, what you use as foam and in what proportion.

That's in Asia,if you visit a factory in Europe,it's different. I had the oportunity to visit a cellular blocks factory in Medgidia, Romania. there were 5 employees sitting at buttons,you coudn't figure out who's the CEO and who's the employee....All the production work you saw in this video was made in like 10 seconds,automatically. They were pouring in some hidraulic containers,wich later would open releasing a 5 cubic metres block on a machine wich was cutting it in smaller blocks,also loading them on pallets of 1 cubic meter each....impressive.

"AAC product densities vary between 300-800 kg/m3 and compressive strength is in the range 2,5 - 6 N/mm2, making it extremely resource efficient material. The large size of elements also allows for faster building and reduction of installation materials and labor." . "It is approximately one-fifth the weight of normal concrete with a dry bulk density ranging from 400-800 kg/m3 (25-50 pcf) and a compressive strength ranging from 2 to 7 MPa (300-1000 psi) (Shi and Fouad, 2005)."

Same quality?' I don't think they are even close. Look for the romanian brand Ytong. The purpose is to be light weight,thermal and phonic isolating. if you put an Ytong block in water,it floats,that's how foamy it is.

Can anyone let me know how to produce foam and get this mixture manually.. Please guide me

[@1959SM04]

Get a strong dishwashing liquid. Make a mixture of half a cup of soap to 1 liters of water. Whip the mixture with a mixer or a whisk to create a thick foam. Use the mixture to replace water in the mixing of cement and sand. I use this to method to make light plant pots. To make a large batch pour the soap to the water you intend to use for mixing cement. The brick is easy to break. A little fibreglass is added to increase strength.

[@krg038]

Nice video. Where does the wash water mixture go? How do the blocks hold up during a stress like an earthquake? Its great to make a lightweight brick but not if it deteriorates or crumbles in a monsoon or earthquake. Are they fireproof?I dont see any rebar reinforce holes. In third world countries millions of people are killed during earthquakes because of poor construction products.

[@krg038]
