Micro Concrete Roof Tile System is a cost-effective aesthetic and durable alternative sloping roof technology. MCR technology is a result of global research and development effort. The tiles are being marketed extensively in Latin America, East and West Africa and South East Asia, over forty million tiles are installed. In India, Development Alternatives, in technical collaboration with SKAT, Switzerland; introduced the technology under their building material program supported by SDC (Swiss Agency for Development and Co-operation). This technology has been widely accepted, with more than 1000 production units currently in operation.
TARA Microm- is a pioneering system to produce high quality affordable micro concrete roofing tiles and decorative pavers. The capacity of package is to produce 300 tiles or pavers per day with a 0.25 hp single phase motor and custom designed moulds and accessories.
Brief production process:
The mix of cement sand, aggregate and water is vibrated for about 45 seconds and then transferred on to a high impact polystyrene mould to give MCR tiles their unique profile. After initial setting for 24 hours, tiles are water cured for 7 days. This results in great strength and durability of MCR tiles. The cured tiles are laid on steel or wooden understructure of roof. The surface finish of tiles is excellent and the tiles can be painted with numerous colors and emulsions.
