TOTAL CURING SYSTEM SOLUTION - for the concrete industry

The Polarmatic curing system is specifically developed to solve all curing needs in precast concrete, pipe, block and paver plants in a precisely controlled, optimized and energy-efficient manner and more importantly to increase the production rate or plant throughput while improving the end-product quality.

Features

 

The curing system solution is always specifically customized to control the curing process - temperature and humidity - in an optimum environment and manner.

 

The system solution consists of the following:

  • All-in-One system solution
  • Basic engineering: dimensioning of the equipment and the entire system for the specific process and end-products in question (on a customer-specific basis)
  • Control of initial concrete properties at mixing stage with usage of our Heating and Cooling Solutions
  • Generation of the curing environment with radiant, steam and/or air circulation systems
  • Moisturizing systems for humidity control
  • Curing control system for managing the curing process, including GUI (graphical user interface) and advanced reporting tools

Benefits

 

The curing solution offers numerous benefits:

  • Total system solution for curing of concrete products
  • Precise control of the curing process
  • Increased annual production due to usage of warm concrete
  • Production of high, constant and homogeneous quality end-products
  • Significant savings in energy consumption and cost – as high as 80%
  • Savings in cement usage and cost – as high as 5%
  • Lowest possible operating and maintenance costs
  • Environmentally friendly - minimum energy consumption
  • Fully automatic, PC-operated - optimized, precise control throughout the entire process
  • Versatile monitoring and reporting functions, full traceability, calculated maturity etc.

HIGH QUALITY CONCRETE AT THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE

Curing of concrete is dependent on the initial set temperature. Is the concrete too cold, the maturity development will take too long to be economically reasonable – on the other hand is the concrete too hot, high temperature gradients in the piece will cause cracks and faulty products.

 

Polarmatic has solutions for both Heating and Cooling of the concrete to get the desired temperature out of the mix.

 


FLEXIBILITY AND PRECISE ENGINEERING FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE

Each curing system solution is tailored according to customer-specific requirements and the products the customer is producing: precast concrete products, pipes, blocks and/or pavers.

 

The complete scope of engineering services provided by Polarmatic ranges from basic, conceptual design to dimensioning and detailed, 3D-design including the following:

  • process design of total curing system based on cured products
  • selection and dimensioning of equipment to set initial concrete temperature
  • dimensioning of moisturizing system
  • design and dimensioning of curing environment: tents, kilns & chambers including air circulation
  • basic and detailed design of piping system
  • design of curing control system
  • documentation

 

The aim of the engineering services is to provide the best possible curing solution for each specific customer controlling the curing temperature, humidity and time in an optimum manner - resulting in high quality concrete end-products while at the same time save resources which result in a shorter return on investment.


OPTIMUM TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY CONTROL

Optimal curing – resulting in high quality end products – requires precise control of temperature and/or humidity.

 

The optimum result – both from a product point of view and in regards to time and cost – is achieved by controlling the curing process in a precise manner. The Polarmatic curing control system controls the temperature and if required, the humidity in the curing tent or chamber/kiln. Optional features include e.g. maturity calculations.

 

The complete curing control system includes:

  • curing control valves
  • temperature sensors
  • moisture sensors
  • PLC controller
  • curing reports (temperature, humidity, maturity etc.)
  • exhaust control (optional)

 

The CUREMATIC control system provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface:

  • Start the curing process with minimal set-up - fast, easily and reliably
  • Information about the duration and progress of the curing process
  • Reporting and traceability
  • Maturity calculation and prediction modules
