Bims Machines

As sustainability and energy efficiency gain increasing importance in the construction industry, bims blocks produced from natural raw materials stand out for their eco-friendly features and high insulation performance. These machines are specially developed systems that enable the production of blocks in a high-quality, fast, and efficient manner, making a difference in the sector not only with their production capacity but also with the thermal, acoustic, and structural properties of the resulting products.

Insulation Performance of Bims Blocks

Blocks produced with bims machines offer high performance in heat and sound insulation thanks to their porous structure. A significant portion of energy loss in reinforced concrete buildings occurs through exterior walls. Therefore, the insulation values of materials used on exterior facades are critical for indoor comfort and energy savings. Bims blocks, made from natural volcanic raw materials such as pumice, reduce heat transfer, decrease energy consumption in buildings, and minimize environmental impact.

Production Process with Bims Machines

Bims machines use special vibration and pressing technologies to produce high-quality blocks without losing their natural insulation properties. The application of vibration and pressure preserves the porous structure inside the blocks. As a result, each block comes out with consistent density and precise dimensions. This homogeneous structure prevents the formation of thermal bridges during installation and reduces heat loss, especially at critical points like window edges and floor joints. Consequently, energy savings are achieved and user comfort increases.

Lightweight and Contribution to Structural Systems

One of the key advantages of bims blocks is their lightweight nature. This lightness results in savings in labor, transportation, and assembly time. Moreover, bims blocks reduce the overall weight of the building, allowing for more economical and practical solutions in foundations and floor systems. These building elements produced by GLOBMAC machines are commonly preferred in non-load-bearing walls, but high-strength models are also suitable for load-bearing interior walls. The precision in the edge profiles of the blocks facilitates control of joint gaps, maximizing heat and sound insulation performance.

GLOBMAC’s Advantage in Mold Technology

The success of bims machines is directly linked to the quality of their mold systems. GLOBMAC uses highly precise and wear-resistant molds in its machines. Manufactured with CNC technology, these molds ensure consistent block quality in every production cycle, guaranteeing production standards. The void ratio inside the molds directly affects the porosity of the blocks and thus their insulation performance. Thanks to GLOBMAC’s rapid mold changing system, switching between different product types can be done without stopping the production line, providing flexibility and high efficiency.

Project-Specific Block Designs

Bims machines can be customized in terms of block size, void structure, and surface texture to meet project needs. GLOBMAC offers a variety of options such as narrow or wide blocks, aesthetic bordered edge designs, and interlocking systems suitable for mass production. These special designs add value to projects not only technically but also aesthetically. Decorative patterned bims blocks, especially used in exterior facades, support architectural integrity and visual quality.

Energy Efficiency and Environmentally Friendly Production

Bims machines contribute to eco-friendly production processes through the use of natural pumice raw materials and low energy consumption. The production of pumice blocks does not require additional thermal processing, reducing the carbon footprint. GLOBMAC machines are equipped with energy-saving motor systems, minimizing energy use during production. As a result, with the right bims block and quality installation methods, buildings’ energy needs can be reduced by up to 40%, benefiting both the environment and end-user budgets.
