This is the opinion of the German manufacturer of production equipment for sand-lime blocks, LASCO Umformtechnik GmbH (Coburg), in view of the approaching building material fair "Big 5 Show" in Dubai (November 16 to 20).
The company states as reason for its optimism, that the sand-lime block, which has been very popular in Germany for more than 100 years and is of a natural white colour in its original form, would in all its properties meet the requirements and demands of this cultural region of the world in a special way.
With a presentation of solutions for the production of sand-lime blocks, LASCO takes part in the fair for the first time (Booth A31/Big 5 Marquee).
They range from presses with hydraulic drive, through fully-automated lines, to turn-key sand-lime block factories.
The natural deposits of suitable types of sands in this region are valuable for the production of the building material.
The water required can come from seawater cleaning plants.
These are the essential conditions for the production of sand-lime blocks in local plants to meet the demands for the building activities in this region.
Sand-lime blocks are ideally suited for walls of all
