Autoclave tunnels are one of the critical stages in the production process of silica blocks. After the cut blocks are transferred into these tunnels, the autoclaving process is carried out with precision. Inside the autoclave tunnels, the blocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature, which triggers important chemical reactions that significantly enhance the strength and durability of the blocks. These tunnels, with their advanced design, enable the process to be conducted uniformly and efficiently. The result of this stage is Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks of exceptional quality, ready for use in various construction projects in compliance with industry standards.
The autoclave tunnels at Silice Ara are designed to apply pressure and heat uniformly throughout the blocks. This uniformity ensures that the blocks undergo the autoclaving process homogeneously with high strength and prevents any structural defects.
Within the autoclave tunnels, the high temperature and pressure induce vital chemical reactions in the block structure. These reactions increase the density and resistance of the blocks against external factors such as moisture, heat, and pressure, making them ideal for use in a wide range of construction applications.
After the autoclaving and complete curing process, the silica blocks are carefully removed from the machine and prepared for packaging and distribution.
Following autoclaving, the silica blocks are sorted and carefully packaged to be ready for shipment and delivery to construction projects.
