CONCRETE PRODUCTS & CAST STONEwww.cpi-worldwide.com CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 5 | 2025By redesigning the curing system in this way, IBF laid the foundation for a future-proof facility that combines speed, quality, and reliability%u2014ready to meet market demands with maximum efficiency.With modernization in mind, IBF%u2019s leadership recalled what they had seen at bauma 2022 just months before the fire. At Kraft Curing Systems%u2019 booth, they had witnessed the Quadrix%u00ae curing technology in action%u2014a solution that now, in the wake of reconstruction, presented itself as the ideal choice for their future-ready facility. There, Mogens Rosenkilde and his production team encountered a live demonstration of Kraft%u2019s Quadrix curing technology unlike anything they had seen before. Kraft had constructed a fully functioning Quadrix test chamber at the exhibition, operating continuously throughout the fair with four passages at an impressive 93% relative humidity and a temperature of 35%u00b0C. Despite these extreme curing conditions, all chamber surfaces%u2014including walls, ceiling, floor, and ducting%u2014remained completely dry.For experienced concrete producers like the IBF team, this demonstration was nothing short of groundbreaking. The absence of condensation at such high humidity levels is not only critical for maintaining a consistent curing climate but also prevents corrosion of steel structures, protects sensitive sensors and laser systems, and enhances overall chamber hygiene and durability. The ability to maintain this stable environment in an open demonstration setting convinced IBF that Kraft%u2019s Quadrix system offered a technological leap forward%u2014combining precise curing control with practical operational advantages. For %u201cconcrete people,%u201d as Mogens described, seeing this performance firsthand was unforgettable. It offered a clear vision of how IBF%u2019s rebuilt production could achieve faster curing times, superior surface quality, The 13 new FIFO curing chambers with insulated motorised aluminium roller doors%u00b7 THE DESIGN OF THE COLORIST ALLOWS THE BLENDING OF UP TO 6 COLOURS%u00b7 THE MODULAR DESIGN OF THE COLORIST ALLOWS THE INTEGRATION TO ANY PAVER / BLOCK MACHINE%u00b7 THE SYSTEM IS EQUIPPED WITH ITS OWN CONTROL UNIT TO ALLOW AN EASY IMPLEMENTATION OF A SIMPLE SIGNAL HAND SHAKE%u00b7 NO REPROGRAMMING OF THE EXISTING PAVER / BLOCK MACHINE PLC NECESSARY%u00b7 THE MOVEMENTS OF THE COLORIST ARE FREQUENCY CONTROLLED TO FINE TUNE THE COLOUR BLENDING TO PERFECTION%u00b7 HIGH REPRODUCIBILITY OF A ONCE DEFINED BLEND%u00b7 THE BLENDING PARAMETERS CAN BE STORED IN A RECIPE FUNCTIONBaustoffwerke Gebhart & S%u00f6hne GmbH & Co.
