Sales Engineering Provides Complete Curing Solutions

Kraft Energy’s systems have one thing in common: they improve concrete curing based on the producers’ needs. Optimal solutions meet specific requirements for quality, strength and consistency – keeping local conditions and budgets in mind.

The best choice of curing method depends on many factors, including:

Product:

1. Wet or semi-dry mix properties
2. Cement and materials used
3. Colour demands
4. Decorative and/or structural nature of the product

Facility:

1. Production equipment in use
2. Automated or manual system
3. Low or high volume
4. Space available
5. Curing or hardening area

Production process:

1. Single- or multi-production shift
2. Produced to stock or to order
3. Secondary process – integrated or not

Other issues:

1. Inventory
2. Budget
3. Available energy sources
4. Local Building Codes and regulations
