Vapor Curing III
VAPOR curing for prestress and precast concrete products
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 several outputs and heating specifications and burn both natural gas and propane.
Functions
Vapor Curing III
-
Function 1
Vapor Curing III
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 III
AutoCure automatically measures and controls the curing environment. All curing data and operating status is displayed on a color display.
-
Function 3
Vapor Curing III
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 4
Vapor Curing III
The vapor distribution system is designed using a pressure-drop algorithm and utilizes various diameter pipe and outlets in order to ensure even heat and humidity distribution. The insulated main distribution pipe outside the curing area reduces heat loss and provides a safe working environment.
-
Function 5
Vapor Curing III
A wireless temperature measurement and data logging system is available as an option. This secure wireless environment is designed especially for use in precast and prestress production areas with multiple signal repeaters that allow for a greater coverage area.

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!
