Aggregate Heating
Expedite hydration

Aggregate and mixer temperatures are tracked in such a way that temperature
in the curing chamber is kept constant, against variable set points under
fluctuating ambient conditions.

• Improved product quality thanks to repeatable curing conditions

• High early strengths
• Can be retrofitted at any time
• Power and fuel savings as the air and burner equipment is shut off
automatically during breaks in production
• Operation of the production line at constant conditions all year round

ProCure –
Concrete Curing System
Reach your goal faster
ProCure meets all requirements in a quick, consistent and high-quality curing
process. The heating and humidification system, according to the latest
state-of-art technology ensures that each product receives the climate it
needs for optimum product quality.
An integrated, highly effective air circulation system, made up of multiple
circulation circuits, covers each product equally with the required amount of
air. Using an intelligent process control system, temperature and humidity
are precisely determined in the curing chamber. During the curing process
these are constantly monitored and controlled for variances. They are then
adapted as required by parameters set out by the control system. In addition
an exhaust system limits the maximum moisture content within the chamber

ProCure circulation units

• Resistant concrete surfaces

• More consistent and brighter colours
• Lower primary and secondary efflorescence
• Higher density concrete surfaces
• The same curing climate 365 days a year
• Lower production costs by reducing the cement content
• High early strength
• Energy efficiency >90%
