Advanced Concrete Curing Systems from Kraft Curing Systems GmbH
Kraft Curing Systems GmbH is offering advanced concrete curing systems that optimize the hardening process of concrete. Kraft provide numerous solutions, from vapor-based (steam) systems mainly for the precast industry, to heating/air circulation systems for the block/paver industry. At the heart of all systems is the AutoCure PLC-based curing control system retains the delicate balance between temperature and humidity, providing the ideal hardening conditions for concrete.
The result of this controlled concrete curing regime is more durable and more consistent concrete product in less time. For blocks and pavers, efflorescence can be eliminated and product colouration and strength is more consistent. For precast, rapid strength gain means that producers can double the output of their moulds, beds and forms, reducing space requirements and reducing capital cost in other parts of the process. Cement savings of up to 10% are possible across the board.
Daniel Rafter, Sales Engineering, Kraft Curing Systems GmbH says “Our systems control the concrete curing process with a precisely calculated amount of heat and humidity. So, customers get a higher quality, more consistent product. They can also simplify their work processes, producing more elements in less time and reducing the need for long term storage at the production site. After the curing cycle is complete the product is ready for immediate dispatch”
He informs that the company can provide turnkey curing solutions from Germany, but can also work with customer in manufacturing some items like vapor piping and air circulation ducting locally to reduce cost, “we provide design drawings to ensure there is no compromise on the functionality of the system”. “Our understanding of the chemical process known as hydration, and the effect of heat and humidity on this process enables us to develop individual solutions that are tailored to the needs of our customers. We have successfully installed over 1,600 concrete curing systems around the world.”
According to Atul Singh, Regional Sales Manager, Kraft Curing Systems GmbH, Kraft provides the best concrete curing solutions for companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint, while still striving for accelerated hardening, increased product quality, and reduced process costs.
“Accelerated curing systems that are imported from Kraft’s facility in Germany, offer customers low operating costs, reliability, and quality. With a team of three customer service technicians based in India, our customers are well supported.
While the market for pavers and blocks is important, we are also eying large infrastructure projects, where we can provide contractors the ability to produce the required number of elements within tight deadlines in often remote casting sites, the same quantity of I-Girders can be produced using half of the quantity of forms” he adds.
