Production of wood-concrete blocks with his hands

One of the most popular building materials, which is widely used in low-rise buildings, many years are wood-concrete blocks.

Oddly enough, but their composition is not only concrete, but sawdust.

wood-concrete material has good technical data, is lightweight and quite easy to use, but it has not only advantages but also disadvantages.

At one time, wood-concrete blocks produced in large numbers in many countries around the world.

From this material not only erected temporary objects, but also the capital home.

Surprisingly, this stone production technology is so simple that it can be implemented independently at home.

For its production will have to buy or build their own hands and their equipment, as well as become familiar with the technology of manufacturing of wood-concrete blocks.

This material due to their high thermal insulation qualities perfect for private construction and when to establish its own production of wood-concrete blocks, you can significantly reduce spending on the construction of the house.

What arbolit?

The main advantages of this versatile building material that is suitable for the construction of low-rise buildings, include low cost, optimum thermal conductivity and ease of manufacture.

blocks from arbolita consist mainly of sawdust and cement, and the production technology allows the addition and some other impurities.

wood-concrete blocks can be used for construction of houses, even in harsh weather conditions.

If you plan to build a country house, then adjust their production and to install the appropriate equipment can be right next to the construction site, which will significantly reduce costs.

forms to make them under the required size and weight of the stone, machine and other necessary equipment to collect just enough on their own right outside the house under construction.

based units arbolita experts attribute to the lightweight concrete.

Its characteristics are somewhat similar to the stone, but only artificial type, which is based on waste from wood processing, such as wood chips, the smallest chips and sawdust.

In our time of arbolita arrange various prefabricated slabs, as well as universal blocks and panels for continuous solid walls.

for this stone, produced in the production, have conditionally adopted resolution, while it is not mandatory, but only advisory.

If you collect the equipment and set up production in the home, the size and weight of the finished unit may be adjusted independently.

In addition, based on the climate zone in which it is planned construction of a house, wood-concrete blocks can be produced with additional impurities that will improve their thermal insulation properties.

Nowadays blocks arbolita actively used when the piers are being built buildings and garages, various outbuildings and private homes.

wood-concrete stone is perfect for the construction of interior partitions in apartments.

It is worth noting that this stone has not only advantages but also disadvantages, and chief among them is the low density, it is not permissible when high-rise construction underway.

If you collect all the pros and cons of the construction material, we can conclude that it is virtually ideal for private construction.

Produce wood-concrete blocks with his hands simply, it does not require major investments of any necessary equipment or in the raw materials used.

main composition of the mixture

The composition of wood-concrete blocks are two-component materials.

They include the basic elements are special filler from waste wood and concrete easy preparation, in addition, in small quantities, to improve performance, introduce some chemical components.

Even despite the fact that its composition wood-concrete blocks have a wood component from which you can build a low-rise homes, the characteristics of which nothing will not yield to the buildings, which were built from traditional materials.

The only prerequisite is an internal and external protective finish.

is worth noting that the construction of the house itself and the technology of this material is similar to the familiar and has exactly the same advantages and disadvantages.

This versatile building material has optimal fire resistance, and on laying the foundation does not give virtually no any shrinkage.

Arbolit conditionally can be divided into two types.The first is the full-bodied wood-concrete blocks, which have a higher density and are suitable for facial walls.

The second species include thermal insulation void arbolit intended for domestic work and construction of the upper floors.

units having light weight, can be successfully used to alleviate upper floor in buildings with a small number of stories, erected on the ground such that is desirable to build homes with more weight.

The video posted below, you can see the construction of houses from blocks of this type.

basis of building materials are sulfate or portland cement, as well as trees and an organic component.

addition, administered chemical additives that give a part of the additional timber arbolita elevated characteristics, namely: remove excess polysaccharides, which increases the life arbolita service, greatly increase the bactericidal performance, as well as regulate the porosity of sawdust.

The filler is allowed to use wood chips, shavings and shredded bark or pine needles, sawdust.

In some cases, add solid stems of crops such as cotton, cereals and more.

This reduces costs when building a house, even in remote areas, mainly engaged in agriculture.Sometimes

arbolita introduced into the liquid glass, fly ash and slag, and lime.

Stages production

Starting our own production units of arbolita, first of all, the machine should be installed on a hard foundation.

Its installation and adjustment should be carried out in accordance with the instructions and rules.

also need:

• equipment for kneading the mixture;
• masonry;
• mold having the desired size and weight;
• oven.

It is worth to think about the place where the stone will solidify and strengthen.It should have a foundation and to be protected from moisture.

The composition of the mixture can include, for example, water glass, wood chips and cement brand M500.

best to use raznofraktsionnye filings with small amounts of chopped chips, which will be pre-treated with a solution of lime and dried.

Forms under arbolit can be made with your own hands, it should be remembered that the weight of the final product will depend on its size.For ease of demoulding stone, it is possible to lay linoleum pieces.

While filling forms prepared solution can be compacted by hand, but it is best to use for this purpose vibropress.

compacted mixture is kept in the form itself during the day, then spread to the appropriate place in the shade for the setting and hardening and covered with foil on top.

Experts recommend to withstand the finished stone that way for weeks.

can not leave arbolita blocks from the cold, but the temperature is above zero also did not affect their strength and weight characteristics.

If you leave ready to rock in the heat under the sun, then it will be flaws such as cracks.It is better for such time as arbolit dries, lightly watered periodically with water.

wood-concrete block production process can be seen in the video posted below.

mixture can be kneaded in a box or trough mounted on a solid foundation for the production of wood-concrete blocks.

First spread carefully screened chips and sawdust, then all this is filled with water with the addition of some chemical additives.

must be thoroughly mixed substance thus obtained is then gradually introduced into the dry cement and mix again.

formation of lumps and inhomogeneity of the mixture - significant shortcomings, from which it is necessary to get rid of.

recommended proportion of the finished mixture - one part of sawdust, one part cement, and about half of the water.

more cement can be added, however, the stone does not only increase its strength, and weight.

When completing the form, be aware that the size and weight of the finished product do not depend on the ratio of components, and what kind of size has the form itself.

Tips and tricks

To the mixture in the form of well-tamped, machine should be installed only on a hard foundation.

extraction technology of the finished product from the mold is the same in all cases: the shape of inverted and small shocks to pull the stone foundation for drying.For

voids in the wood-concrete blocks when filling a liquid mixture into the mold simultaneously inserted several wooden bars, the mixture should be stacked in several stages.If

stone fabrication planned for the ground floor, directly on the foundation, in the middle of it, you can put pieces of rebar.

excess mixture should always be removed with a trowel or a wide spatula.

When producing blocks of arbolita own, the first batch is best to do a little.This tests arbolita properties, for example, when cutting or holding nails.

When building a house of arbolita best to make the foundation of the belt type.It is worth noting that the construction of arbolita foundation does not require additional reinforcement.

Arbolit will be stronger if you use more heterogeneous density wood-sawdust mixture as possible.Before you fill in the form Arbolito, it should be treated with lime milk.

Arbolit ready to perform construction work after a good parking and grab.
