Quadrix®
THE PERFECT CLIMATE AND PERFORMANCE IN A SINGLE ATMOSPHERE CHAMBER
QUADRIX® accelerates the curing process through the controlled addition of heat and humidity. This guarantees a continually uniform environment for curing. The system allows high air volumes at a low flow rate. The result is an improved, smooth surface.
Functions
Quadrix®
-
Function 1
Quadrix®
The rack is enclosed with insulated sandwich panels in order to reduce heat loss. Drawings and Bills of Materials supplied by KRAFT allow our clients a foolproof do-it-yourself solution for chamber insulation.
-
Function 2
Quadrix®
The Quadrix system prevents fog and condensation on chamber surfaces even at 35 °C (100 °F) and 90 % relative humidity. This prevents disruption of safety beams or control lasers and corrosion of the steelwork.
-
Function 3
Quadrix®
Our Quadrix unit is manufactured of stainless steel, aluminum and galvanized materials. Dual high performance radial ventilators provide high volume air circulation, while the 94% efficient heat exchanger is designed for efficiency and durability.
-
Function 4
Quadrix®
Our AutoFog misting system humidifies the air with finely sized atomized water particles in order to increase the relative humidity. The water is filtered, softened and disinfected via ultraviolet light.
-
Function 5
Quadrix®
Our custom designed air distribution duct system - with air outlets located at the curing chamber floor only - guarantees the most consistent curing chamber climate distribution while maintaining a dry floor and prevention of high air velocity over the fresh concrete product surface.
-
Function 6
Quadrix®
Our AutoCure curing control system with 9” color touch screen allows for independent measurement, indication, control, real-time graphing and, optionally, data logging of curing temperature and humidity. Curing Temperature and relative humidity are measured via sensors distributed throughout the chamber.
-
Function 7
Quadrix®
Our custom designed exhaust system with electrically actuated damper (in order to prevent heat loss when not in operation) operates in order to reduce humidity.
-
Function 8
Quadrix®
Our specially designed air curtain prevents the escape of warm and humid air from the chamber.
