Innovation: Duplex Blockmaker

Ecological building will always be successful when architecture and building physics are effectively coordinated. Selective use of function-integrating construction elements that combine insulating and structural materials in the building structure can significantly contribute to reducing energy requirements. The production of dual-shell blocks currently still takes a long time and requires high storage capacity, because the individual components are manufactured one after the other with the necessary hardening times. In most cases, they must be manually reworked.
