<strong>The</strong>me C: Education and Market Transformationand water are weighed and fed to mixer by automatic-controlled devices andmixed.In the moulding process, the mixture is filled into the moulds which were earliercleaned and oiled, and is waited for fermentation to expand and to gain sufficientstiffness. In this stage, aluminium powder reacts and released H 2 forms the porousstructure. Thus the material increases in volume about 3-5 times depending on thedensity of the final product. About 70 minutes later, stiffened AAC cake is demouldedand transported to waiting area to gain additional stiffness for cutting.PUMICE CONCRETE BLOCKMANUFACTURING PROCESSESCRUSHING PROCESS (Optional)Sub-Processes Machine/Equipment Energy InputSieve / Crush Sieve chrusher ElectricityTransport aggregate Conveyor-Elevator ElectricityTransport processed Weigher (cement) Electricitybasic materials(cement, water)MIXING PROCESSSub-Processes Machine/Equipment Energy InputMix Mixer ElectricityElectronic control units Electricity(controlling water ratio)MOULDING PROCESSSub-Processes Machine/Equipment Energy InputInject Press ElectricityBurr Rotating brush ElectricityTransport to drying Transport tower Electricitychamberand control unitsDRYING PROCESSSub-Processes Machine/Equipment Energy InputDrying Heater (winter period) CoalTransport to packaging Transport tower and Electricitycontrol unitsPACKAGING PROCESSSub-Processes Machine/Equipment Energy InputFault control Sensors ElectricityTransport Conveyor ElectricityStack Robot ElectricityTie Compressor gun ElectricityTransport Tractor Diesel fuelSTORAGE PROCESSSub-Processes Machine/Equipment Energy InputUnload Forklift Diesel fuelDISTRIBUTION PROCESSSub-Processes Machine/Equipment Energy InputLoad Forklift Diesel fuelDistribute Truck Diesel fuelFigure 3: Manufacturing processes of pumice concrete blocks.649
