AECT has built high-quality equipment for the Earthen Construction industry since 1989 and has, so far, sold to operators in over 50 countries around the world. Building with earthen blocks (adobe) offers the following advantages over traditional building materials: - Sustainable - Low carbon footprint - Inexpensive - High thermal mass (cool in the summer, warm in the winter) - Sound resistant - Fire resistant - Insect resistant - Non-toxic - Non-allergenic - Mold resistant - Bullet proof Our portable, self-contained machines reduce material cost and labor for both residential and commercial construction. We have taken a 5,000 year old idea and perfected it. Using AECT machines, in place of traditional adobe block manufacturing processes, offers the following advantages: - AECT machines produce blocks with consistent size, shape, and weight - AECT machines produce blocks in a fraction of the time it takes to produce traditional adobe blocks Visit our website for more information on AECT and our products: AECTearthblock.com
