75,000 mยณ/Year AAC Block Plant Exported to Angola
In March 2025, we successfully delivered, installed, and commissioned a 75,000 mยณ/Year AAC Block Manufacturing Plant to Angolaโaligning with the countryโs National Housing Program (Programa Nacional de Habitaรงรฃo) and growing demand for eco-friendly, cost-effective building materials.
| Country | Angola |
| Annual Production Capacity | 75,000 mยณ/year |
| Plant Type | Semi-Automatic Mini AAC Block Manufacturing Plant |
| Client Type | Angolan construction firm transitioning from traditional concrete blocks to eco-friendly AAC |
| Service Provided | Full turnkey solution (Custom Design + Equipment Supply + On-site Installation + Operator Training + 2-Year After-Sales Support + Local Regulatory Compliance) |
Why the Angolan Client Chose a 75,000 mยณ/Year Plant?
Our clientโan established concrete block supplier in Luandaโselected the 75,000 mยณ/year mini plant for three practical, client-centric reasons:
- Market Fit: Luandaโs AAC block demand is 70,000โ85,000 mยณ/year (2025 industry data), with most orders coming from small-to-medium housing projects. The 75,000 mยณ capacity ensures the client can meet local demand without overinvesting in unused production.
- Cost-Efficiency: At ~820,000 USD, the setup cost fits the clientโs budget for expansion. The plant also requires only 10 workers per shift (vs. 15+ for medium-scale lines), reducing ongoing labor expensesโcritical in Angolaโs labor market.
- Scalability: We designed the plant for future growthโkey components (autoclaves, batching systems) can be upgraded to 120,000 mยณ/year within 12 months. This lets the client expand to serve other regions (e.g., Benguela, Lubango) as Angolaโs housing program scales.

Detailed Equipment Configuration for AAC Block Plant Exported to Angola
All machinery is customized to Angolaโs conditions (local raw materials, occasional power outages) and meets Angolaโs building standards (NBR 15823:2020 for AAC blocks):
| Equipment | Customization for Angola | Function |
| Ball Mill (ฮฆ1.7m ร 4.3m) | High-wear liners to process Angolaโs abrasive river sand and coconut shell ash | Grinds raw materials into fine powder (85% passing 200-mesh sieve) for uniform slurry |
| Automatic Batching System | Calibrated for coconut shell ash (replaces 15% of cement) to maintain block strength (โฅ2.9 MPa) | Precisely measures materials (cement:lime:sand = 1:2.4:1.6) for consistent quality |
| Slurry Mixing Tank | Dual-speed agitator (25/40 RPM) to prevent sedimentation of dense local sand | Mixes powder and water into homogeneous slurry (solid content: 63โ67%) |
| Mold & Casting Machine | Corrosion-resistant plates (for Angolaโs humid coastal climate) + non-stick coating | Forms โgreen cakesโ (semi-solid blocks) during pre-curing (5โ6 hours) |
| Vertical Cutting Machine | Manual backup controls (for power outages) + dust-collection system (meets Angolaโs environmental laws) | Cuts green cakes into Angola-standard sizes (600ร200ร100/150/230mm) |
| Autoclave (ฮฆ2.0m ร 26m) | Biomass-fueled (uses coconut shell wasteโ30% cheaper than diesel) | Strengthens blocks with high-temperature steam (185โ190ยฐC for 7 hours) |
| Steam Boiler | Water treatment system (for Luandaโs hard water) to reduce scale buildup | Generates steam for autoclave; 22% more energy-efficient than standard models |
| Separating & Packing System | Weatherproof wrapping (for Angolaโs rainy season) + durable bundles for local transport | Separates and packages blocks into 10-unit bundles (standard for Angolan logistics) |
Export Process of AAC Block Plant Exported to Angola
We navigated Angolaโs unique logistics and regulatory requirements to ensure zero delays:
- Pre-Production Preparation: Tested 4 batches of local raw materials (coconut shell ash, fly ash, river sand) to optimize the production formula; designed layout with a 20kW backup generator (for Luandaโs occasional power outages).
- Manufacturing & Quality Checks: 36-day production cycle with 3 weekly video inspections by the client; dry runs and load tests confirmed no defects before shipment.
- Shipping & Documentation: Shipped via Luanda Port (Angolaโs main trade gateway) using 7ร40HQ containers; prepared all required docs (Certificate of Origin, NBR 15823:2020 compliance report, customs forms, commercial invoice).
On-Site Installation & Operator Training
Our 4-person engineering team ensured seamless setup and knowledge transfer:
- Mechanical installation (18 days): Adjusted equipment for Angolaโs 230V/50Hz power supply; reinforced autoclave foundation for Luandaโs clay soil.
- Electrical setup (8 days): Installed PLC control system with Portuguese interface (Angolaโs official language) + backup generator integration.
- Training (6 days): Trained 10 local workers on safe equipment operation, troubleshooting common issues, and quality control (per NBR 15823:2020 standards).
Post-Commissioning Performance
One month after launch, the plant exceeded the clientโs expectations:

- Daily Output: 200โ220 mยณ (on track for 75,000 mยณ/year capacity).
- Block Quality: 96.8% qualification rate (meets NBR 15823:2020 standards); compressive strength (3.1 MPa), density (570 kg/mยณ), and thermal conductivity (0.14 W/mK) all above industry averages.
- Energy Efficiency: Uses 29% less fuel than the clientโs previous concrete block plant (thanks to biomass-powered autoclaves).
- Market Success: Secured contracts for 2 residential projects in Luanda and 1 small commercial building in Benguela; received 4 new inquiries within 6 weeks.
What Our Client Says?
โWe were nervous about switching to AAC productionโno one in our area had done it before,โ said Mr. Silva, the clientโs managing director. โThis team made it easy: they tested our local coconut shell ash, trained our workers in Portuguese, and handled all customs paperwork. The plant runs smoothly, and weโre winning more housing project contracts than ever. In 2 years, weโll upgrade to 120,000 mยณ/yearโand weโll only work with them.โ
