Kraft Energy™ provides curing systems and insulated enclosures to improve the hardening process and quality of concrete roof tiles, allowing for quicker turnaround times, better asset utilization and more colour uniformity.

Benefits of Vapor Curing Concrete Roof Tiles

1. Reduction in curing time to less than five hours means a reduction in aluminum mould costs.
2. Accelerated vapor curing tremendously decreases the amount of time tiles need to harden. Within six to eight hours after production, concrete roof tiles may be removed from the hardening chamber, demoulded, painted and coated, and packaged.
3. Kraft Energy’s variable moisture vapor, in conjunction with insulated curing chambers and proper air circulation systems, provide even heat and humidity distribution, while preventing condensation and surface cracking.
4. Colours are more uniform with vapor curing.
5. Less breakage, especially on thin tile.
6. Energy costs are typically half of comparable systems due to the high efficiency of direct-fired vapor systems.
7. Addition of a drying cycle at the conclusion of curing provides for better drying of paints and coatings prior to packaging.
