Technical Assistance
We have 3 types ;
1) Basic - Learn about the basic principles of making foam concrete.
2) Advanced - Save R&D time and use our special formulations & methods and start making your product using foam concrete.
3) Special Consultancy - Ask us to look at your production & quality and on a project to project basis.
Some may think that making foam concrete is simply mixing foam with some basic raw materials. Contrary to this, making good quality foam concrete is an art and has to be learnt. Just like making a cake , even if you have right equipment and materials you may not have the right recipe or technique in making it, so you end up with an inferior product.
| Making foamed concrete requires more than just having the equipment |
Foam concrete can be made in a range densities using various mix design ratios depending on the application. No single mix design or formulation can apply or is best for all types of jobs. Some projects can fail due to the lack of understanding of the properties and performance of foam concrete.
Being a University company, we have data from hundreds of castings and have been involved in training many private and public corporations. We have the equipment and experience to advise and train you so that you can produce foam concrete of the right quality. We understand foam concrete better and can help you to implement your projects.
Some of the areas covered in our technical assistance are;
1. Foam Properties & Adjustments to the foam generator
2. Foam Generation (Filling, operation, Cleaning & Shutting Down)
3. Flow Rates & Quality of foam ( e.g. foam stability ).
4. Overcoming mistakes in mixing and other malfunctions.
5. Raw materials, their properties and use in foam concrete
6. Mix design of foam concrete ( standard mix)
7. Basic mixing of foam concrete (e.g. mixing procedures, w/c ratio, flow test, density test)
8. Control of target densities ( eg. wet & dry density )
9. Factors controlling strength, shrinkage and absorption of product.
10. Mixing procedures, efficiency and timing of mixers
Training & technical assistance can be carried out at USM ( a local university on the beautiful island of Penang, Malaysia) or at your/the client premises if required. Hotel accommodation can be arranged.
| Training is required to produce good quality foamed concrete that can meet specifications |
Our costs are nominal and very flexible with the aim of benefiting the end user/ client. Ensure the success of your project / or product with proper understanding of the of foamed concrete technology. Use our services. Contact us now!
