MHE as Producer: High-Authority AAC Infrastructure

MHE Group operates at the highest tier of autoclaved aerated concrete manufacturing, establishing international benchmarks for modern walling systems. We do not simply supply raw blocks; we design, build, optimize, and supervise the operation of advanced production systems that yield consistent mineral building components.

Under the technical direction of Dipl.Ing. Michael Hofmann, MHE combines factory development expertise with product design. This ensures every block and reinforced floor or wall panel meets exact structural requirements, providing developers and contractors with factory-direct material reliability.

300k+ m³

Annual output capacity per production line, supporting large-scale commercial and residential developments.

±1.0 mm

Strict cutting-line tolerances ensuring perfect thin-bed mortar joints and minimal thermal bridging.

40+ Years

Decades of continuous research, mechanical installation, and factory optimization worldwide.

STEP-BY-STEP

The Automated AAC Production Lifecycle

Our manufacturing facilities utilize fully automated process lines to convert natural raw minerals into lightweight structural elements.

STEP 01

Raw Material Preparation & Dosing

Sand, lime, cement, anhydrite, and water are mixed with a trace amount of aluminum powder. Computer-controlled batching ensures exact recipes tailored to structural density classes (D300–D700).

QUALITY ASSURANCE CONTROLS:

  • Quartz sand wet grinding
  • High-accuracy weight batchers
  • Slurry temperature conditioning
TECHNICAL PROFILE

Manufacturing Capabilities & Standards

MHE Group manufactures autoclaved aerated concrete to meet stringent international standards (ASTM and European EN codes). From density allocation to structural reinforcement design, our process is optimized for maximum structural efficiency.

ADVANCED FABRICATION

Prefabricated Panel Reinforcement Cage Welding

Unlike standard blocks, AAC floor, roof, and wall panels require internal steel reinforcement to handle flexural and tensile loads. Our factories feature automatic cage welding systems that apply anti-corrosion coating to high-tensile steel mesh prior to casting.

This state-of-the-art process integrates structural design parameters directly with the factory production line. MHE structural engineers review panel spans, load criteria, and deflection limits, mapping the reinforcement directly to shop drawings.
