HÖTTEN's highly talented multilingual teams operating internationally, offer services in the form of advisors, engineers, technicians, staff, managers and apprentices. India is a big and an important market for all types of modern building materials and HÖTTEN will play a pivotal role in providing turn-key plants producing Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks and panels, sand lime bricks, dry mortar, hard burnt grinded lime with greater focus on ACC!

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete is a high-quality building material made of silica sand, fly ash, lime, cement, gypsum, water and aluminium as gas developing agent. The mixed raw materials will be filled into moulds and after raising up cut into blocks or reinforced elements and then cut cake will be cured in autoclaves under steam pressure of 13 bar with a temperature of about 200°C.

ACC is used globally in residential, commercial and industrial buildings for outside walls, inside – and partition walls, fire walls, load bearing & non-load-bearing walls and wall elements for skeleton structures. Some of the advantages of AAC compared to other building materials include:

Normal mortar or thin bed mortar can be used for AAC. The exact connection of a wall or roof is given by blocks or reinforced panels with tongue and groove. The fast construction of a wall is granted by the big sizes of blocks and panels.

The important features of HÖTTEN AAC plant for production of quality ACC included Mixing Technology & Controls; Cutting Technology; Autoclaving and Automatic Steam control; and Separating Machine where several small hydraulic cylinders used for separating block by block and layer by layer. In totality, these advantages are based on a high quality investment and have to be reflected in the market price of the final product. In fact, HÖTTEN is also the maker of machinery and equipment but meanwhile is specialist in developing the final product for marketing. Besides, its reasonable sales price of the final product is a basic condition for yearly profits and a return of investment of less than 40 months.
