Vapor Curing II
VAPOR curing concrete pipe and precast
A direct-fired vapor generator in conjunction with temperature sensor(s) and motorized vapor control valve(s) accelerates concrete strength gain and increases concrete quality through the controlled addition of heat and humidity. Vapor generators are available in many outputs and heating specifications and burn natural gas or propane.
Functions
Vapor Curing II
-
Function 1
Vapor Curing II
When compared to a boiler, the direct-fired vapor generator reduces operating costs by 40% to 60%. The vapor generator requires minimal space and operates at low pressure with propane or natural gas.
-
Function 2
Vapor Curing II
AutoCure automatically measures and controls the curing environment. All curing data and operating status is displayed on a color display.
-
Function 3
Vapor Curing II
Wireless temperature and/or humidity sensors or sensors with quick-disconnects allow for flexible operation, for example, with retractable curing enclosures.
-
Function 4
Vapor Curing II
In conjunction with AutoCure , the stainless steel vapor control valve provides for full automatic control of the curing process. The design and the “fit-for-purpose” materials ensure a long life and simplified maintenance.
-
Function 5
Vapor Curing II
A project customized vapor distribution system fabricated of carbon and/or stainless steel pipe or, as in the picture left, of heavy-duty steel reinforced hose and stainless steel diffusers provide for the consistent distribution of heat and moisture.
-
Function 6
Vapor Curing II
Axial air circulation ventilation is an effective and economical solution for the consistent distribution of heat and humidity within curing enclosures.

Animation: Applications of the Vapor Generator
Here you can see very well for which concrete product types the Vapor Generator can be used. In addition, the carousel curing is explained and it is shown what would be an optimal solution here.
Steam Boiler VS Vapor Generator
In this video is explained how a Vapor Generator works and all the advantages of it compared to a steam boiler.
Karl Doubles his Block Production with a Kraft Vapor Generator
Karl is a block producer. The demand for blocks is rising quickly and Karl‘s curing chambers do not have the capacity for more production, leaving him unable to meet demands. That is until Karl finds out about Kraft Curing Systems’ Vapor Generator!
Comparison - Producing Precast Concrete with Steam or Vapor
Here you can see why curing concrete products with Vapor is so much better and more environmentally friendly than with regular steam!
