Why CLC Bricks? ... Comparison ... Latest.


Why we use CLC bricks?
1) CLC is a light weight brick  where water absorption is less compare to redbrick and fly-ash brick
2) High thermal insulation
3) Compressive strength is more than other bricks
4) environmental friendly
5) Quantity of cement is less when making a wall why because accurate edges and even surface
6) CLC bricks life span is more than other bricks

 CLC block size can make according to our requirements

In India generally block can make

CLC Size                Bricks per cubic meter
4*8*24                     83 clc blocks
6*8*24                     55 clc blocks
8*8*24                     41 clc blocks  

If we take one CLC block size      Red bricks comes around for each CLC block
4*8*24                                                7.1
6*8*24                                              10.6
8*8*24                                              14.2

Process of Manufacture of CLC Bricks

Machines we are using :

1. Mixer (Ribbon Type)
2. Conveyor
3. Water Pump
4. Foam Generator
5. Digital weighing system
6. Compressor
7. Control Panel
8. Trollies to carry slurry
9. Water tank 2000 ltrs capacity
10. Foam Tank 500 ltres capacity
11. Platform Trollies
12. Molds

Materials :

1. Cement
2. Fly Ash
3. Protein Foam (Veg)
4. Water
5. Demoulding oil

Process : 

To manufacture one m3 CLC Bricks, first we fill the water as per requirement with pump from water tank, Later we run the conveyor and conveyor belt drops 500 kgs of Fly ash into the Mixer. Flyash and Mixer will be started simultaneously. We drop the 5 bags i.e., 250 kgs of 53 grade OPC cement in to the Mixer. Later 1.2 kgs of foaming Agent diluted with 30 litres of water will be added and mixed thoroughly. Air bubbles thoroughly mixes in cement and flyash slurry. At this point the one litre slurry taken out from Mixer and weighed for density. If it shows the required density, the slurry will be drained into trollies and these trollies transports slurry to the place where molds kept. This CLC cement slurry poured into molds. The outer frame of the molds removed after 18 to 24 hours and the separation plates removed after 48 afters. Then the finished CLC Bricks removed to curing area and curing will be done for 28 days. From 29th day onwards our CLC Bricks ready for sale. We are using 600mm x 200mm x 100/150/200mm molds.
