ACCET LIVE INTO PRODUCTION SECTOR

The fly ash brick making machinery at ACCET

In a first,under the Entrepreneur development cell of ACCET, a brick making machinery has been installed in the free land which was cleared for the purpose behind the smithy and welding lab.

Two passed out mechanical students(2016 ) are currently involved in this particular project.Initially lime,fly ash and gypsum(one load each) has been purchased for making out trial bricks and to find the best mixture ratio.

 Since the location of the site is behind the college premises ,it is easier for curing and drying process of the bricks made without disturbing the usual college proceedings.

Market readiness:
