Development of a cellular lightweight cement (CLC) block cutting machine for small scale industries

Abstract

Cellular lightweight Cement block is one of the alternatives for conventional clay bricks. Currently such blocks are manufactured by small scale industries at different places. The way of manufacturing is conventional that requires more labors as well as time. These blocks are casted in molds having sub compartments of required block size. Setup work required for setting of the mold is labor and time consuming. To cater the cost effective needs of industry it is required to reduce labor work by using machines. Therefore a CLC block cutting machine is introduced which eliminates the background work required for setting of mold and disassemble it.
