Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Technical job manufacturing aerated concrete (ALC) panels and blocks.
Description
ALC workers measure and mix raw materials such as cement, lime, water, and aluminum powder, foam them through chemical reactions, and then cure them in an autoclave (high-pressure steam curing) device. After curing, they cut them into panel or block shapes, perform dimensional and quality inspections, and prepare for packaging and shipment. They are required to handle a wide range of tasks including machine operation on the production line, quality control, equipment inspection and maintenance, and safety management.
Future Outlook
With increasing demand for energy-saving and high-insulation in housing and buildings, the demand for ALC, a lightweight insulation material, is expected to remain stable or expand gradually.
