Steam curing chamber

Newly formed products are cured by ensuring that there is sufficient moisture available, and that the temperature is suitable for the chemical reaction (called hydration) between cement and water to occur. The products do not gain strength by drying out. If allowed to dry out soon after manufacture they will not reach their full strength. At low temperatures, the chemical reaction takes place more slowly and products need to be left in their moulds for longer periods. At higher temperatures, the chemical reaction is more rapid but the quality of the mature product may be inferior.

The Steam curing chamber is intended to ensure that the formed products reach full strength faster, resulting in lower costs.

The curing chamber is equipped with a manipulator for automatic formed products conveyance into the chamber and out of the chamber to the products packing area.

  • The curing chamber has eight isolated chambers, each one for one hour output volume.
  • Total chambers capacity is 7500 pieces of standards bricks.
  • Chamber's daily output is 15000 pieces of standards bricks.
  • The curing time is 12 hours.
  • Installed electric capacity - up to 30 kW.
  • Overall length up to 9 meters.

The number of isolated chambers can be increased or reduced to meet the customers requirements.

The tunnel type of curing chamber could also be produced.
