The customer is a building materials company based in Córdoba, supplying local construction companies, brick distributors, and residential developers. Before investing in AAC, their main product line included concrete blocks and precast items.
Customer Goals
- Enter Argentina’s growing AAC market
- Reduce labor dependency
- Improve product quality consistency
- Supply multiple provinces with a medium-scale plant
- Produce cost-effective AAC blocks for housing projects
The customer initially compared suppliers from Germany, Turkey, and China. After technical evaluations and online factory inspections, they chose our solution due to high automation, strong cutting precision, fast installation support, and competitive investment cost.
Our Solution- 160,000 m³/Year AAC Block Plant Exported to Argentina
After evaluating the customer’s land size (18,500 m²), electricity cost, local market demand, budget, and long-term expansion plan, our engineering team recommended a 160,000 m³/year Ligne de production AAC.
Why This Capacity Is Ideal for Argentina
- Matches regional demand in Córdoba, Santa Fe & Buenos Aires
- Reasonable investment cost: USD 1.2–2.3 million
- Low operational risk compared to large plants
- Easy for newcomers to scale gradually
- Suitable for both local projects and distribution
Customized Design for Argentina
The following local adaptations were included:
1. Block sizes tailored to Argentinian developers
- 10×20×60 cm
- 12.5×20×60 cm
- 20×20×60 cm
- 25×20×60 cm
2. Density classes (AAC 500 / AAC 600)
Suitable for both load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls.
3. Climate-adapted curing system
Argentina has hot summers and mild winters, so we optimized the pre-curing environment and steam system.
4. Spanish-language control interface
To help local operators use the machine more easily.
