better to work with existing players rather than funding a nonentity. 4. Check with vendors about their after-sales support network in your area. They might have a good after-sales team and willing to extend support. But if this team is in a different country, it would require lot of time and money for them to reach your location in order to provide support. So try to gauge aftersales support capability of a vendor in your area/country. 5. See if vendor is willing to let you ‘localize’ your plant by including as much local equipment as possible. This might also include modification to vendor supplied equipment to suit local conditions. Vendor may provide you with specifications for necessary equipment like motors, screw conveyors, conveyors, valves, etc. There are various benefits of having local equipment integrated. Primary benefit is that you can find out best vendors in local market rather than unknown foreign vendors for such equipment. Secondly it would lower the cost of entire project. Your savings will be in terms of total import bill, sea and surface transport as well as customs. Moreover it gives peace of mind and quality assurance since you may reject equipment back to local vendor in case of any defects. You’ll also get much faster after-sales support from vendors of local equipment compared to foreign vendors. 6. Try to compare level of technology and automation offered by various vendors. I am not asking to go for fully-automatic plant – that may be a very costly affair – but it should have http://www.aac-india.com/small-capacity-aac-block-plant/

3/23

10/20/2014


decent amount of automation. There is no point in having a completely manual plant as it’ll hamper productivity and might prove to be a costly affair in running cost due to increasing labour wages and decreasing availability of labour. Moreover if you have plans to expand your plant in near future, automation will play a major role. 7. I am sure that once your plant is running well and you are able to sell entire production at good rates, you’ll be tempted to expand your production capacity. But if your plant does not have expansion options, you might need to set up a completely new production line. This would be a very costly affair in terms of money, resources and time. So, when you select to set up your first plant, ensure that your plant comes with enough expansion options. Generally these options depend on mixer capacity, cutting speed and handling systems. These leaves out moulds and autoclaves. Addition of moulds and autoclaves can be done easily without hampering your routine operations. So while planning, figure in these factors and select a plant with good expansion options. 8. Last but not the least is product support from equipment vendor. This may be in form of production know-how, processes, product optimization, growth path, staff training etc. As most of you are aware, recipe (aka product mix) for AAC products is very critical and determines quality of final product. You can check with your vendor if he’s willing to design and supply recipe optimized for raw materials available locally. A good vendor would also help you set up processes to ensure consistent production and recommend you other products that can be produced using same equipment or by adding some extra equipment.

Please note that this list is like a guideline. Although I have tried to cover major points, it is not possible to cover everything. You’ll have to rely on your business acumen and gut instinct before arriving at a decision. As I like to say, in addition to good quality equipment and final product, you also need to have a robust business plan, a good marketing network with a customer-focused approach and grievance addressing mechanism. Remember that Autoclaved Aerated Concrete is a new product in most parts of India. AAC industry will take a direction depending on how you treat and educate your customers and cultivate the market.

Can you suggest us proportion of mixing water, cement, fly ash, lime, aluminum? Reply


Dear Sanjay, Thank you for your response on my website. I would love to help you with production mix, unfortunately I cannot suggest a recipe just like that. Designing product mix will require thorough testing of raw materials. Getting recipe right require lot of effort and that is the reason for not sharing it on an open forum like this.

Dear Sir, As a consultant , i studied these AAC plants. I prepared the project report of 1 lakh M3/annum size to our client. 160M3/day is also not so profitable in the present competitive market. Today one person call and asked about 30M3/day plant with an investment of Rs.1.25Cr.Is it viable? Some small and new manufacturers are giving false promises to the innocent investors. If the small AAC plant are really viable, please send complete details to promote in Andhra Pradesh through my articles on selfemployment topics in a leading Telugu daily called “Andhra Jyothy”. Any one can contact me. Reply

Vishal Kansagra says: January 21, 2014 at 6:57 PM

Dear Dr. Rao, Thank you for your response on my website and sharing your concerns. I really doubt such vendors who offer such plants. Personally I have interacted with couple of plant owners who were duped by such vendors. But all is not lost. There are certain individuals I know who are doing good work in direction of enabling a small capacity AAC plant at reasonable price point. As of now all such plants are WIP (Work In Progress). I’ll share more information on this forum once their plants are operational and performing well.

Hi Vishal, Greetings. I am interested in starting a small scale AAC plant at a location (case 1: 10 km or case 2: 150 km from Fly Ash Source ). In case 2, the 4 hectares land is available for free but in case 1 land is to be rented. I wish to know what are the things to be considered to go forward with the business plan. It would be great if you can provide me with a ball park figure of investment and production capacity as well. Thanks, Mallikarjun Reply

Vishal Kansagra says: June 18, 2014 at 4:06 PM

Dear Mallikarjun, Thank you for your response on my website. Decision to locate the plant should primarily focus on target market(s) and availability of raw material. Normally it is better to be closer to the market for simplified and cost-effective transportation. This is because your landed cost of raw materials except fly ash will remain nearly same irrespective of location you select. I suggest you call me on my number mentioned below to discuss this point in more detail. Regards, http://www.aac-india.com/small-capacity-aac-block-plant/
