Production of wood concrete blocks: 8 reasons for organizing + 8 success factors + product characteristics + market research + recommendations for the choice of raw materials + technology + workshop equipment + 3 equipment suppliers + organizational aspects + calculations.

Between scientific and technological progress and the emergence environmental issues there is a direct connection. Therefore, in modern world more and more attention to nature and the environment.

Along with this, the business of manufacturing environmentally friendly building materials has become relevant and in demand. This type of activity includes the production of wood concrete blocks, the main aspects of which we will cover in this article.

How economically profitable is it to produce wood concrete blocks?

Arbolit (in common wood block, sawdust concrete, wood bricks), due to its properties, performance and purpose, is classified as a building material.

The following components are involved in its production:

• cement;
• chopped wood (sawdust, straw, chips, shavings, etc.);
• water;
• chemical additives.

The decision to open an enterprise for the production and sale of wood concrete blocks is influenced by several positive reasons:

1. Production takes place on a simple technology.
2. A business can be started first in small volumes and at home.
3. Compared with the production of other building materials, the production of wood concrete panels and blocks is not so financially expensive.
4. If you find cheap raw materials, you can achieve low cost.
5. This area has a large market.
6. There is a high demand for blocks of their wood concrete, the value of which during the seasonal period may exceed supply.
7. Good payback periods.
8. The production of blocks is characterized by a long-term perspective and good profit.

To achieve economic efficiency from the business of producing blocks from wood concrete, you need to deal with a number of questions regarding production process, product characteristics, analyze the market and competitive environment, .

Arbolite blocks, the production of which is listed by OKVED 26.65 and 51.53.24, can be sold without licensing activities. However, a quality certificate is indispensable. About 45-55 thousand rubles will be spent on organizational and documentation issues.

Success factors will be:

• providing the enterprise with reliable and high-quality equipment;
• hiring skilled workers aimed at high results;
• strict adherence to technology;
• production of only high-quality wood concrete blocks that meet the expectations of consumers and the requirements of the standard;
• optimal price-quality ratio;
• establishing relations with suppliers of raw materials and construction companies that will purchase blocks in large quantities under the contract;
• use of other distribution channels, organization active sales to other Russian subjects or regions;
• choosing the right positioning, competent marketing policy.

Characteristics of wood concrete blocks, product range

Also, arbolite blocks are assigned certain classes based on their compressive strength.

Gosstandart determines the production of blocks of the following dimensions:

• 50x40x25 cm;
• 50x30x25 cm;
• 50x20x25 cm.

Arbolite blocks are classified into thermal insulation type And structural.

The first type of material has low strength (400-500 kg / m3). It is marked with the letter M5, 10, 15. Structural blocks have an increased density, and therefore strength. These are arbolite products M25, 35, 50. The minimum density limit for such blocks is 500 kg / cu. m, maximum - 850 kg / cu. m.

Arbolite building materials can be produced monolithic or hollow.

Blocks are used for construction purposes. Arbolite thermal insulation find their application as a wall insulation and sound insulator, structural blocks - in the construction of houses and other low-rise buildings.

Wood concrete products are highly useful, valued not only in Russia, but also abroad as a heat and energy-saving material.

The advantages of blocks are:

• versatility,
• environmental friendliness,
• durability,
• sound absorption,
• strength,
• ease of construction
• thermal conductivity,
• ease of processing.

Due to the versatility, the production of wood concrete products is beneficial for the construction of both private houses, industrial buildings, and for baths, cottages. Such blocks are used on sea coasts, in Siberia, etc.

Arbolite blocks have a porous structure, which means that the structure erected with their help “breathes”. Expanded clay concrete is inferior to wood concrete blocks in terms of thermal insulation performance. Sawdust concrete is predominantly brick, foam blocks, because. does not crack under heavy loads.

The main thing is not to exceed the maximum allowable rate. One block weighs 15-60 kg. Due to this, the foundation of structures is light, unlike brick buildings, which saves money during construction work.

Since, in addition to wood chips, cement and other components are included in the composition of arbolite products, the blocks do not ignite like wood, do not rot and are not affected by bacteria. If, getting on concrete, stone, brick, wood, the spores of the fungus actively multiply, then this does not threaten the wood concrete blocks.

They are easy to process, cutting is carried out by means of a manual, gasoline, electric saw. There is no need to pre-drill blocks for screwing in screws and driving nails. Also, arbolite products are easy to install.

1. Market research in the production of wood concrete blocks.

Arbolite blocks in the Russian Federation gained popularity in the late XX - early XXI centuries. Today, their production is also in great demand, which is facilitated by the development of private low-rise construction.

There is a reorientation to building materials that would have not only standard characteristics, but also meet modern requirements:

• environmental friendliness,
• operational processing,
• light weight,
• ease of use,
• energy efficiency.

Arbolite blocks meet the basic requirements, as a result of which there are prerequisites for stabilizing demand. Production of arbolite goods on the territory Russian state established by many companies.

Major market players that can compete are:

In total, 83 companies are currently registered in Russia. Of these, 72 work in the Volga Federal District, 5 - in the Central. 2 carry out production in the Siberian Federal District, 2 more enterprises are located in Blagoveshchensk and the Amur Region (FEFD). The North-Western, Ural districts account for 1 firm each.

2. What raw materials are used in the production of wood concrete blocks?

The initial stage of production comes down to the preparation of all the components that will form the basis of the wood concrete blocks:

• The filler is prepared from chopped wood, observing a ratio of 1: 2.

Make sure wood products are dry enough. To achieve the required consistency, sawdust, wood chips are kept for about 4 months. outdoors. They need periodic mixing and treatment with lime mortar.

• 1 cu. m of raw wood is watered with a 15% solution in a volume of 200 liters.
• For 4-5 days, the chopped wood is not touched, and then it is already mixed at least twice a day.

Such operations in the production of wood concrete blocks play an important role, because. help to remove sugar from sawdust, leading to decay in the future. As an alternative to lime, other chemical additives are also used: liquid glass, calcium chloride, aluminum sulfate. The chemical additive is added to the wood concrete mixture in liquid form.

Raw materials are purchased at enterprises operating in the field of logging, or they are made independently using a wood chipper. The size of wood raw materials for wood concrete blocks should be as small as possible, then it will be possible to achieve greater strength after drying.

If you intend to organize serial production, it is better to purchase special equipment for drying and chopping wood. To wood concrete blocks turned out to be solid, you need to buy chips of coniferous trees.

Can be applied:

• aspen,
• poplar,
• alder,
• birch,
• maple,
• ash.

Allowed:

• common cotton,
• lignified parts of flax,
• kenaf,
• cannabis,
• straw,
• larch.

In the latter case, the amount of chemical additives applied for the purpose of processing woodworking waste increases by 2-4 times compared to that applied to conifers.

For the production of blocks, you need to buy high-quality cement. Focus on the M400, M500. Sometimes sand is present in the recipe. His choice must also be approached responsibly. So that the blocks do not sag during production, washed river sand is taken.

Technology for the production of wood concrete blocks: process features

The formulation of raw materials is not easy to determine. This must be done by an experienced technologist. Without his help, the experimental method can choose the wrong dosage of components and disrupt the entire production technology.

The raw mass was developed in the ratio shown in the picture back in the Soviet Union. It is more economical than others, because. allows the use in the production of secondary filler, which is obtained from particle boards.

Such a filler does not need to be pre-treated, therefore, less energy is spent, the production of wood concrete products becomes less laborious, the environment improves due to waste disposal, and the range of building materials expands.

Arbolite blocks can be made in 2 ways, which should be considered in detail.

Method number 1. Tampering by hand on the floor - the most economical

For production in this way, a forced-type mixer is bought, a tank where chemical additives will need to be diluted.

In addition, you will need containers with a measuring ruler for loading wood chips and cement into the mixer, steel molds that serve as a place for ramming the wood concrete mixture. The arbolite is transported to the molds by means of a trolley.

The surface of the floor on which such a stage of production as the formation of blocks takes place must be flat, plywood or concrete. In addition, the enterprise is provided with pallets designed for folding ready-made wood concrete blocks.

Method number 2. On a vibrating machine with a load - more rational for large volumes of production.

These machines are difficult to find on the market, but you can negotiate with industrial enterprise about the equipment being produced according to your order.

1. Chips cleared of dirt are immersed in the mixer, corresponding in size and composition to the State Standard 19222-84.

Please note that sawdust cannot be used fresh! If you will be chopping the raw material yourself, let it dry for about a month after chopping.

2. Then make a solution of chemical additives and water.
3. When this procedure is completed, start the mixer. The resulting solution is added to it, the chips are stirred for 20 seconds.
4. Only then can you start adding cement. This is done in such a way that the cement mixture covers the entire area of ​​the crushed wood.
5. Within 3 minutes, the mass is well mixed. Water is no longer poured into the mixer tank, because. this action will lead to the production of wood concrete blocks of insufficient strength.
6. The pallets are placed next to each other on the vibration platform of the machine. One is placed on them general form, which must be fixed for the period of production of blocks to the machine.
7. After that, an arbolite mixture is poured into it, and pressing takes place with a loss of 30% of the previous volume.
8. The mixture is kept in the formwork for some time to harden, then the blocks are taken out and left in a warm room for 10 days. It is allowed to stack blocks one on top of the other in 3 rows.

To impose more wood concrete products, another 7 days must pass. Transportation is carried out two weeks after the production of wood concrete blocks, if the weather is dry. In rainy, damp weather - after 20 days.

So, the production of blocks from wood concrete can be identified by 4 main stages:

In order for sawdust concrete to be of high quality, it is imperative to organize incoming control of incoming raw materials at the production site.

Equipment for the production of wood concrete blocks: technical equipment of the enterprise

The equipment is bought depending on which technology was chosen for the production of wood concrete blocks, based on the raw materials used and the desired output volumes:

Equipment		Purpose
Machines DU-2, RRM-5, MP-500 and analogues		For cutting wood. Hammer mills, chip cutters, units of the DM-1 type crush the raw materials more thoroughly.
vibrating table		It is necessary for cleaning wood chips from bark, pieces of dirt, earth.
Forced paddle or cycle mixers		They prepare a mixture for wood concrete blocks.
Concrete dispensers / tubes		For transportation of ready solution to forms.
Vibropress Condor, Rifey, etc.		For compacting blocks.
Thermal cameras		With their help, complete hardening of arbolite products is achieved. They can be equipped with IR emitters, heating elements and allow you to set the humidity level and temperature required for the production of blocks.
Forms		They are selected in accordance with the dimensions of the wood concrete materials that you are going to manufacture. They do not have to be purchased, they can be made with your own hands from boards 2 cm thick. After they are knocked into shapes of a certain size, they are sheathed inside with a layer of plywood, then with a layer of linoleum / film.

If you are engaged in the production of blocks at home, you will need the following kit:

• serving table;
• vibrating table;
• chip catcher;
• detachable metal molds and inserts attached to it;
• shock-shaking table;
• dispenser of chopped wood, cement;
• vibroforming machine;
• mold lifting machine;
• pallets;
• tray for receiving arbolite mixture.

With such a list of units, it is possible to achieve good production volumes in a month (about 300 sq. M). To accommodate equipment, you need 500 sq. m area. At the same time, only 15-40 kW / h of electricity is spent.

In case of industrial production in large volumes, it is better to buy a line with a high degree of automation that makes blocks from wood concrete and includes all the necessary mechanisms.

Such equipment for the production of wood concrete blocks can be in different variations and configurations.

The standard complex includes:

• concrete mixer,
• chipping machine,
• pallets,
• drying chamber
• Press forms,
• vibropress.

Production on powerful installations allows to produce up to 800 blocks in one 8-hour shift. The cost of such reaches 1.5 million rubles.

Industrial equipment can be purchased from the following companies:

"Arbolit" ( https://www.arbolit.com/Zapusk-proizvodstva-arbolita).

The company is ready to offer lines for the production of wood-cement blocks: Liga-Avtomat, Liga-7, Liga-8U, etc. Arbolit provides services for commissioning, training of workers, production of a trial batch.

The units are characterized by simplicity of operation and ease of use, compactness, low payback period, full use of wood waste, and a small number of maintenance personnel.

"Russian Arbolit" ( https://ruarbolit.ru/oborudovanije).

Since 2006, the company has been designing and selling ready-made lines for the production of wood concrete products.

The company's equipment is characterized by a moderate price, reliability, but low productivity. The chipper may not be included in its kit. The units are small-sized, so they are quietly located in workshops with low ceilings.

OKB Sfera LLC.

The plant produces complexes for the manufacture of wood concrete panels and blocks, highly mobile and productive, easy to maintain.

What room can be equipped for the production of wood concrete blocks?

The space is more economical to rent.

In order for the full production cycle to take place under normal conditions, the site must have:

• workroom (from 100 sq. m.);
• the area where the drying of the blocks will take place (approximately the same footage);
• storage space (within 150 sqm).

You will also need a territory where wood raw materials, other components of the recipe, and parts are supposed to be stored. Enough area is half the working area.

In addition, it is necessary to place the director of the enterprise. Therefore, it is necessary to allocate zones in the room for administrative offices, production staff, under the restroom, and office. The total area should not be less than 430 sq. m.

Rent, on average, will cost about 85-100 thousand rubles. The fee is usually paid immediately for the first quarter.

The premises chosen for the production of wood concrete products must meet a number of requirements:

When looking for premises, pay attention to those that are located near the sawmill. So you will provide production with a constant source of raw materials, save on the cost of its delivery.

An important factor influencing the choice of site is the availability of a transport interchange. Arbolite blocks should be taken away from the enterprise without problems, and this also applies to the supply of cement and lime.

There are a few other things to note about the space:

• It is desirable that its ceilings be at least 5 m high, otherwise you will have to get confused when looking for suitable equipment.
• Required in without fail observe a certain temperature, especially in cold weather (15-20 ° C).
• At the same time, the building must comply with fire safety categories A, B.
• If the entrepreneur has the opportunity to establish their own logistics, a garage for vehicles will be required.

Labor resources at the enterprise for the production of wood concrete products

The number and composition of staff is affected by what equipment was purchased.

There are complexes that are serviced by 3 people. Other installations that produce wood concrete blocks require an increase in the number of personnel - usually up to 5 people.

The owner regulates the mode of operation of the workshop himself in accordance with labor code. Approximately - 40 hours per week + 2 days off.

To ensure normal conditions for the production of wood concrete blocks, you need to hire at least 4 people. In addition, a director of the enterprise is needed, the position of which can be assumed by the owner. You will need the services of an accountant.

Also in the state should be:

• supply and sales manager,
• technologist,
• driver and loaders for the supply of blocks to customers.

How to organize the sale of wood concrete blocks?

When the sale of wood concrete blocks is carried out without intermediaries, the margin on products is excluded. Finding customers is another important goal of an entrepreneur, because. quick payback and good profits can be achieved by selling all the blocks produced.

Demand for wood concrete products falls at the end of autumn and appears when they resume construction works. To eliminate downtime, you need to find wholesale customers and sign contracts with them for the supply of blocks.

Arbolite products are purchased:

• construction firms;
• private persons;
• hypermarkets and construction warehouses;
• contractor organizations.

If you reduce the cost of wood concrete blocks and overhead costs, but do not worsen the quality, you can sell them cheaper by 15-20% than competitors. This way you will attract more buyers.

In promoting a business, you should use:

• In the first case, resort to the media, outdoor advertising, distribution of leaflets and booklets, exhibitions. Printed products should be distributed in supermarkets and where there is a large crowd of people.
• When promoting online, it is advisable to create your own website (landing page), use contextual, banner advertising, targeting, social networks.

Try to stand out from your competitors not only with a more attractive price per block, but also with various interesting offers. For example, let the first customers get a free sample. They will see for themselves the quality of wood concrete products and, most likely, they will have good reviews about you, and then word of mouth will do its job.

Investments in wood concrete blocks (production)

1. The main items of expenditure in the production of blocks from wood concrete.

Arbolite blocks in modern construction quite popular. Studies conducted on the building materials markets show that Lately all large quantity people prefer this particular building material.

The arbolite block is inherently a molded mixture of cement and fillers of organic origin. Currently, for the production of such blocks, a mixture of cement and sawdust treated with a special composition is used. The percentage of cement and sawdust is approximately equal to 15-20% to 80-85%, respectively. The physical properties of wood concrete blocks show that this material works well in compression, has a large margin of bending strength, has increased thermal insulation properties, and performs well as a soundproof material. Arbolite material can be used in the construction of low-rise buildings or used as an insulating material in combination with classic materials for load-bearing structures.

• Cement supply equipment - 50 tons;
• Equipment for tamping - 20 thousand rubles;
• Other auxiliary equipment - 150 tons;
• Advertising costs - 50 thousand rubles;
• As a result, equipment costs will amount to 980 thousand rubles.

The enterprise works in one shift of 8 hours, it will require 5 workers, an accountant and a manager to service it. Fund wages will be about 140 thousand rubles.

Approximate monthly expenses:

• Rent 300 m2 - 100 thousand rubles. ;
• Raw materials (wood chips, cement, aluminum sulfate, water) - 950 tons;
• Utility payments - 60 thousand rubles;
• Salary 110,000 tr.
• Taxes - 100 thousand rubles;
• Item of unforeseen and other expenses - 100 tr.

As a result, the costs amount to 1,420,000 rubles. per month.

It is supposed to sell the entire maximum volume of manufactured products at a price of 3500 rubles. per m3. In this case, the amount received for the products will be 1,750,000 rubles.

The profit will be 330,000 rubles. per month.

The result can be viewed like this:

• Income - 1,750,000 rubles;
• General expenses - 1,420,000 rubles;
• Profit - 330,000 rubles.

In this case, the profitability will be about 26%.

From the above calculation, it can be seen that the return on investment in the organization of this business is approximately 3 months.

Arbolit (this building material is also called wood brick) is construction material, environmentally friendly and inexpensive.

It is used for low-rise construction and can serve as a heater for load-bearing walls.

Arbolite is produced in the form of blocks measuring 50x25x20 cm, which is made from a mixture of:

• sawdust,
• cement,
• water,
• calcium chloride (or aluminum sulfate).

The main attractive point in the production of wood concrete is many components are free its raw materials such as:

• sand,
• water.

The advantages of the business for the production of this building material is that its organization does not require a lot of resources, large production areas and labor.

Due to the low cost of production, it is possible to obtain additional profit.

Benefits can be reduced to the following list:

• small initial investment in business;
• low cost of production;
• environmental friendliness of wood concrete, which, under conditions current trends in the fight for cleanliness environment, in the future will contribute to an increasing increase in demand for it.

Arbolit has a number of undoubted advantages. These include:

• environmental friendliness;
• A 30 cm thick block has better soundproofing and thermal insulation properties than a 75 cm wall with a thickness of three bricks;
• the wood concrete block is easy to saw, grind, drill, etc.;
• blocks do not rot or mold;
• high fire resistance of the material;
• ease;
• since the wood concrete is large-porous, this provides the necessary level of humidity and improved air exchange in the room;
• highest durability.

The organization is relatively small business for the production of wood concrete involves output of approximately 500 m3 per month.

Primary investments in production amount to 900 thousand rubles, estimate as follows.

• The purchase of a mixing station will cost 120 thousand rubles.
• 30 molds. Cost - 110 thousand rubles.
• The purchase of a set of manual rammers will cost 15 thousand rubles.
• Drying chamber at a price of 350 thousand rubles.
• The purchase of metal pallets will cost 30 thousand rubles.
• The price of the PRM-5 chipper is 150 thousand rubles.
• Cement dispensers, wood chips will cost 50 thousand rubles.
• Other expenses will amount to about 75 thousand rubles.

Final investment amount is 900 thousand rubles.

Description of the enterprise

To exercise production activities, IP must be registered. It would be rational to opt for a simplified taxation system, which is 6% of gross income. As soon as employees are hired, you should register as an employer with the FSS and the FIU, paying monthly insurance premiums for employees.

In order to monthly produce wood concrete with a volume of 500 m3, it is necessary to rent a room with an area of ​​​​250 m2.

If installed in this room drying chamber the exposure time of wood concrete blocks can be reduced to several hours.

The premises will be operated as follows.

• 50 m2 will be occupied by the production area.
• 100 m2 - drying and curing area.
• 100 m2 - storage of finished wood concrete blocks.

The enterprise can work in one shift, for 8 hours, with two days off (that is, 5 days a week).

To carry out production, 4 handymen, 1 accountant and 1 sales and supply manager will be required.

Handymen can work in shifts, replacing each other in the format of two days of work, two days of rest.

Production process technology

Main raw material required for the manufacture of 500 m3 wood concrete per month:

• wood chips: 583 thousand liters;
• aluminum sulfate, solution: 56 thousand liters;
• cement: 120 thousand liters;
• water.

Water should be added based on the moisture content of the chips until the chips become shiny.

Production stages come down to the following:

• wood chips are loaded into the mixing station, the drive is turned on and calcium chloride or aluminum sulfate is added. There is a splitting of chips to the desired size, as well as the neutralization of sugars with the help of aluminum sulfate or calcium chloride;
• as soon as the chips are split, water and cement are gradually added to the station, everything is finally mixed;
• the mixture is loaded into molds and compacted;
• after compaction, the arbolite blocks must be removed from the molds and allowed to dry for 2 to 4 days, after which they can be stacked one block on another.

The material acquires its final density only after 30 days.

In the presence of a drying chamber, the process of manufacturing wood concrete blocks is significantly shrinking, so use storage facilities is reduced to a minimum.

It is allowed to store blocks for drying in an open area only in the warm season with mandatory protection from precipitation.

Marketing plan

It is necessary to think in advance about the ways of selling products. The season of intensive use of wood concrete as a building material begins at spring period and ends in autumn. Price per retail products is approximately 4000 rubles. for 1 m3, wholesale- about 2500 rubles. for 1 m3.

You can sell products in the following way:

• offer to wholesale dealers;
• sell at retail for individual construction to the population;
• conclude contracts for the supply of wood concrete blocks with construction organizations;
• sale of blocks to organizations involved in sales on construction markets and in hypermarkets.

Summing up

Income per month - 1 million 475 thousand rubles. Expenses - 1 million 260 thousand rubles. Profit will amount to 215 thousand rubles. Profitability - 17%.

Schematically, the production of wood concrete blocks is presented in the video:

In contact with

The essence of the idea is to purchase a line for the production of wood concrete (woodblocks) - an innovative, environmentally friendly and cost-effective structural building material of the future.

Arbolite is an alternative to classical structural and heat-insulating materials, consisting of wood chips and cement binder mortar.

Since the second half of the 20th century, Russia has been actively experimenting with structural building materials. Their task was to develop building materials that are not inferior in their basic properties to brick and concrete, while surpassing them in terms of economy and efficiency.

The result of the development was the creation of wood concrete (wood concrete or lightweight concrete, based on cement, organic compounds and chemical additives). High resistance to bending and compression, good heat and sound insulation, as well as economic feasibility and efficiency are the main factors due to which blocks from this building material are now actively used in individual and industrial low-rise construction.

The product range will include the following items:

• wood concrete blocks, large (200x300x600, grades D500 and D600), for the construction of load-bearing walls, at a price of 150 rubles per unit;
• wood concrete blocks, small (390x190x190, grades D500 and D600), for creating internal partitions and insulating layers, at a price of 60 rubles per unit.

Market potential, business prospects and distribution channels

Market prospects of the business area are directly related to the active development of low-rise individual construction in Russia. First, we point out that over the past few years since the crisis of 2008-2009, the volume of individual cottage and dacha development in Russia has been systematically increasing.

Secondly, the structure of the building materials market, in particular, structural and insulating ones, is gradually changing. Keeping the main characteristics of traditional materials (density, strength, durability, etc.), the materials of the future must meet new requirements: lightness (for ease of transportation and speed in operation), environmental friendliness and energy efficiency.

Arbolite blocks answer necessary requirements, and their use makes it possible to obtain less expensive, environmentally friendly and energy-saving buildings. Due to this, preconditions are created for a stable demand for this type of building material, which indicates the expediency of the business both in the current and in the long term.

To organize the sale of wood concrete blocks on the market, you need to work out two main distribution channels. First of all, it is necessary to organize direct shipments from the warehouse to companies conducting work on the construction of houses from wood concrete in the region. If the demand from direct customers does not absorb the entire volume of manufactured products, it is necessary to establish contacts with wholesale companies, which will be able to provide sales in other regions.

Production and organizational plan

To establish the production of wood concrete blocks, it is necessary to purchase the appropriate production equipment. Now on the Russian market there are various options for equipment that differ in price and performance.

If we talk about the production capacity of the business, then for a medium-sized business for the production of wood concrete blocks, the optimal capacity will be production area no more than 300-400 m3 blocks per month. More big business uses correspondingly more productive lines. For example, one of the leading Russian manufacturers wood concrete - EcoDrevProduct - productive capacity area exceeds 1000 m3 of products per month.

For the normal functioning of the production process, the site must be provided with raw materials. Wood chips, Portland cement, cement, sand and aluminum sulphate (to neutralize sugars) are used as raw materials in the production of arbolite blocks.

Important question in the course of building a business - to ensure high quality products. The quality issues of wood concrete blocks are regulated in accordance with GOST 19222-84 "Arbolite and products from it." In particular, it establishes requirements for the feedstock (sizes of wood chips), the permissible level of bark content (no more than 10%), needles and leaves (no more than 5%).

Separate question - right choice site location. Here it is necessary to take into account that the production of wood concrete blocks most of all tends to the presence of a raw material base, which is woodworking waste. Based on this, it is best to place the site near sawmills - this will create a constant source of raw materials (without the need for a large warehouse and large stocks) and minimize transport costs for delivery.

Feasibility study of the project

Starting costs for the purchase of a line for the production of wood concrete blocks will amount to 325 thousand rubles. The cost of delivery, adjustment and installation of equipment is another 30 thousand rubles.

For the full operation of the site, a staff of 5 people will be required. For the operation of the site, it is necessary to create a stock of raw materials and materials, at a level of at least 1 monthly volume of block production. Investments in raw materials and materials will amount to about 0.6 million rubles.

In total, investments of about 1 million rubles will be required to start. The average productivity of the line for the production of wood concrete (taking into account the real possibilities of selling products) is about 400 m3 blocks per month. When reaching 50% of the planned productivity level, the annual production will be 2400 m3 blocks.

A block with a size of 200x300x600 mm (which is 0.036 m3) costs 150 rubles. 1 m3 contains 27.8 such blocks, and market value 1 m3 of wood concrete will be 4.16 thousand rubles. The annual proceeds from sales under such conditions is 9.98 million rubles.

The payback period for investments in business is 4-5 months.

Arbolit is a material that was artificially created from chips, sawdust and cement stone. Such material can often be found in the construction industry. Its characteristics are quite advantageous: strength, lightness, ability to hold finishing materials. Technologies for its production require the need to buy concrete mixers and molds for blocks. This need makes it possible to create a business for the production of wood concrete profitable and in demand. From the article you can learn everything about wood concrete blocks, how to create such a business and how to draw up a business plan for their production.

What are the types of arbolite blocks?

In order to create wood concrete blocks, you need to have sawdust or chips in production, treated with a special mixture and poured with cement. Chips should be no more than 80%, and cement stone no more than 20%. It is worth noting that the two components of wood concrete blocks can be bought cheaply on the market, which significantly saves costs for starting your own business. Since arbolite blocks can be made in different ways, there are therefore two main types of arbolite blocks:

• Heat-insulating blocks for warming the room;
• Structural and heat-insulating in order to erect walls in small buildings.

The purpose of wood concrete blocks is not only to retain heat in the room, but also to serve as a durable and strong building material. However, the biggest advantage is financial availability.

What does a business plan for the production of wood concrete blocks include?

Expenses

First of all, you need to enter data about costs and quantity into the business plan. necessary materials for the production of arbolite blocks. Following a business plan, you can accurately calculate the amount of waste and net profit.

• The purchase of the necessary materials for the production of wood concrete blocks will require an amount of up to 500,000 rubles. Delivery, installation and overlay must be paid from above (+100,000 rubles).
• Advertising and SMM-promotion on the Internet. To develop a business, you need to spend 500,000 rubles on advertising.
• Salary to staff: foremen, accountant, etc. – 150,000 rubles;
• Equipment for the production of wood concrete blocks;
• Rental of premises or warehouse;
• Payment to the tax office.

Summing up all the costs, you can understand that to open this business need about 2 million rubles.

Net profit

A business plan should contain not only data about expenses, but also how quickly the costs will pay off and what the net profit will be in the end. If the business plan provides for setting a price for the sale of a block of m3 for 4,000 rubles, then the monthly profit will be 2 million rubles. Based on monthly spending on rent, advertising, etc. net profit will be 350,000 rubles, which will cover all expenses for 6 months of the company's operation. However, these are only estimated prices, as in most cases the amount of income depends on the area, competitors and other factors.

Product sales plan

Besides the fact that you need to understand the field of your activity, you also need to have your own target audience. Since wood concrete blocks are a building material, you can sell them:

• Large resellers who buy only wholesale;
• Citizens by retail;
• to construction companies;
• to building stores.

It should be noted that the peak of sales falls on the period from summer to autumn, since it is then that construction work is actively carried out.

Thanks to completed business plan for a small enterprise, you can decide for yourself the direction of your activity. And also to understand that the business of selling wood concrete blocks is the best option for start-up entrepreneurs who understand this area, have the appropriate capital and want to achieve great success in their chosen direction in order to make big profits and achieve their own goals.
