Foam Concrete Block Machinery By Tom Engineers

FOAM CONCRETE BLOCK MACHINERYThe most basic definition of foamed concrete is that it is mortar with air bubbles in it. The air content of foamedconcrete may be up to 75% air by volume.In general terms, foamed concrete can be described as a lightweight, free flowing material which is ideal for awide range of applications. It can have a range of dry densities, typically from 400 kg/m3 to 1600 kg/m3 and arange of compressive strengths, 2.5 N to 4.5 N.Foamed Concrete can be placed easily, by pumping if necessary, and does not require compaction, vibrating orlevelling. It has excellent resistance to water and frost, and provides a high level of both sound and thermalinsulation. It is very versatile, since it can be tailored for optimum performance and minimum cost by choice of asuitable mix design.Foamed Concrete is not the same as conventional concrete and does not have the same characteristics.
