160,000 mยณ/Year AAC Block Plant Exported to Argentina
In April 2024, our company successfully exported a fully automatic 160,000 mยณ/year AAC block production line a Argentina.
| Country | Argentina |
| Dimensioni dell'impianto | Medium AAC Block Production Line |
| Annual Capacity | 160,000 mยณ/year |
| Production Range | AAC blocks (75โ300 mm), optional panels |
| Livello di automazione | Fully automaticโfrom batching to packing |
| Project Category | Turnkey AAC plant (design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning) |
The customer is a building materials company based in Cรณrdoba, 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 Argentinaโs 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 mยณ/Year AAC Block Plant Exported to Argentina
After evaluating the customerโs land size (18,500 mยฒ), electricity cost, local market demand, budget, and long-term expansion plan, our engineering team recommended a 160,000 mยณ/year Linea di produzione AAC.
Why This Capacity Is Ideal for Argentina
- Matches regional demand in Cรณrdoba, Santa Fe & Buenos Aires
- Reasonable investment cost: USD 1.2โ2.3 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
- 10ร20ร60 cm
- 12.5ร20ร60 cm
- 20ร20ร60 cm
- 25ร20ร60 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.
