Question

What is the manufacturing process of CMUs?

Answer 1

Materials required:

Aggregates and cement.

Manufacturing Process:

1.Mixing

2.Molding

3.Curing

4.cubing and storing

These four steps are involved.

1.Mixing:

The water is added to both aggregates and concrete.The water is should be controlled using electronic measuring system to check that the mixture should not be too wet or too dry.It takes atleast 6-8 minutes.

2.Molding:

Molding the concrete is the next step in manufacturing the CMU.

In this a proper compression is required for quality product.The materils are turns into molds at measured flow rate. it results in strength of the block.

3.Curing:

Curing is most important process,in this the pallets are moved to carts which will travel into low-pressure steam kiln to be heated.whenever the top temperature is reached,the steam and heat are shuts off and the block cure for 12-18 hours in hot .

4.Cubing and Storing:

After completion of curing the concrete Mansory block is taken out of the kiln.Each block is unstacked and placed on conveyor.then they move on to cubing system in which it stacks the blocks on wood pallet.

And we wrap the cube in plastic for security and protection from the elements.

Hope you understand this.

Any doubts comment me.
