Advantages of AAC
large variety of sizes: AAC can be produced in a large
variety of sizes, from standard blocks to large reinforced
panels;
excellent thermal insulation: AAC has a very low
thermal conductivity and therefore a very high thermal
energy efficiency is achieved. This results in savings
on heating and cooling costs;
extremely lightweight: AAC weighs approximately
50% less than other comparable building products;
high compressive strength: AAC is a solid product,
therefore making it highly load bearing. The entire
surface area is used in structural calculations;
high dimensional accuracy: As a result of its
dimensional accuracy, AAC is extremely easy to install,
as no thick set mortar is required;

The HESS philosophy is to provide our customers with
a pro-duction system designed as a solution for the
specific needs of the market in terms of capacity and
product range.
The HESS Keen-Crete systems can offer this high degree
of flexibility in plant design, based on know-how and
experience in both tilt-cake and flat-cake systems. Performance
is guaranteed through the use of proven standard machine
modules and components.
Following plant concepts are generally available:
KBT-S version:
capacity range from 450 - 900 m per day
KBT version:
capacity range from 900 - 1550 m per day

Tilting
The tilting crane tilts the mould by 90. The crane
unlocks the mould and removes the mould body,
so that the cake remains on one mould
side/platform for cutting. This tilting system has
proven to be the safest method for tilting the cake
into the vertical cutting position, as the cake is
tilted onto the same side that it rose on.
Cutting
The cake in cut by high precision cutting machines. Cutting is done by pneumatically tensioned
cutting wires.
the pre-cutter and vertical cutter cut the block
length and panel width. In this station the
profiling (tongue and groove) can be cut into
the cake with profiling knives;
the horizontal cutter cuts the block and panel
thickness;
the cross cutter cuts the block height and the
panel length. Optionally hand-grips can be
milled into the cake in the green stage.

Autoclaving
The cakes on the cooking frames get stacked three high
and are then fed into the autoclave, where they are cured
for 10-12 hours at a temperature of 190C with saturated
steam at a pressure of 12 bar.
