Foam concrete production systems from MAI®: versatile and economical
Foam concrete is an extremely useful tool in the equipment of a modern construction project manager, and MAI® porous lightweight concrete production systems are used in a wide range of building and tunnelling projects around the world.
MAI® International GmbH has been at the forefront of developing foam concrete production systems over the past few decades, and is an expert when it comes to cellular foam concrete equipment.
Our goal is to improve and facilitate the production of environmentally friendly PLC (porous lightweight concrete) materials for construction above and below ground. High-quality foam concrete requires little CO² and energy to produce, making it a very ecologically-friendly option.
Professional foam concrete systems for every jobsite
Foam concrete is an easily-workable, low-density building material that is very economical. Foamed concrete is self-compacting, free flowing and pumpable and, therefore, easy to place in inaccessible places. It has good thermal and acoustic properties and is also frost resistant.
Cellular foam concrete can be produced in a variety of densities and strengths depending on the application required.
Foam concrete has many significant benefits due to its high air content (up to 90%), making the material ideal for filling voids in underground engineering works, trench reinstatement and tunnel repair. It is also particularly useful for its insulating properties making it perfect for thermal and soundproofing insulation of floors and flat roofs.
Other areas where porous lightweight concrete is very useful are cavity filling, well backfilling, masonry grouting, setting up pipeline monolithic thermal insulation, monolithic low-rise and individual house building, levelling floors, road sub-bases and maintenance, bridge abutments and repairs, and ground stabilisation.
MAI® has developed a range of porous lightweight foamed concrete production equipment that enables customised foam concrete for every application at the touch of a button. The user-friendly interface makes the production of lightweight foamed concrete simple, with the highest levels of quality control and easy combination of units to achieve the desired results for your project.
The compact PLC equipment developed by MAI® consists of an internally cross-linked processing system that works continuously and can be operated as intuitively as a smartphone. The dry mortar compound is mixed and a foam of exactly defined consistency and density is produced. All individual components are under permanent monitoring to ensure process reliability. MAI® foam concrete equipment is already in use in Japan and Europe.

MAI®HICOMP FC
The MAI®HICOMP FC is a special purpose mortar mixing pump that sets new standards in process security. Its innovative water and dry material management makes the consistent production of high-quality lightweight porous concrete possible at the touch of a button. With a silo flange diameter of 350 millimeters, it delivers an adjustable foam concrete quantity of 9 to 24 cubic meters per hour. (The nominal diameter of the mortar hose is 50 millimeters and distances up to 100 meters can be bridged).
MAI®MULTIMIX FC
The MAI®MULTIMIX FC is a special purpose mortar mixing pump that sets new standards in process security. It is an innovative water and dry material management mobile mixing pump for lightweight porous concrete that does not allow even the slightest fluctuations in consistency. Several additives can be added without any change in consistency - even with counter pressure in the mortar hose. This mortar mixing pump produces 3 to 15 cubic meters of controllable lightweight concrete per hour. (The nominal diameter of the mortar hose is 35 mm and the possible distance to the point of use is up to eighty meters).
MAI®FOG
The MAI®FOG is a compact foam mortar generator in which, in addition to the amount of foam, the foaming agent percentage and the foam density can be easily adjusted. It is suitable both for mobile use and for mounting on the transport silo.
MAI®DOS
The MAI®DOS is a universally applicable dosing unit for liquid additives in a foam concrete production system. Dose additives at between 5 l/h and 160 l/h at up to maximum 12bar pressure. It is suitable for use with the MAI®HICOMP, MAI®MULTIMIX and MAI®440GE mixing pumps.
MAI®MIX
The MAI®MIX is an electric agitator for foam mortar mixing with continuously adjustable speeds. It is suitable for use with the MAI®HICOMP and MAI®MULTIMIX mixing pumps.
