Description
PMSA® offers a curing chamber solution with forklift handling of product and production boards. This system is manually operated. Curing chambers can be supplied with various curing solutions including a circulation, heating and vapour system. This provides a controlled curing environment for the initial 24-hour curing period and results in better product finishes, higher early strengths and less product damages and waste.
From the brick, block and paver making machine the production boards with wet concrete product are transferred into a 9-stage stacker. A forklift with special frames, collects the production boards with wet concrete products and transfers them into the curing chambers. A second forklift moves the production boards with cured products from the curing chambers to the de-stacker. From the de-stacker, cured concrete products are off-packed and the production boards are returned to the brick, block and paver making machine. Various product off-packing solutions are available for packing the cured products into packs ready to be sent into the storage yard.
A curing chamber with forklift system is a more effective and efficient solution to manual gantry and chain conveyor systems and ideal for RE1400-LITE, VB4X, VB4, VB1X and VB1 plants.
Productivity
PMSA® customers have found the curing chambers with forklift system reduces labour costs and improves turnaround times on their production boards.
Production performance: The forklift system allows faster product handling, making the plant more productive for increased profitability. The equipment is ideal for production cycles of up to 11 seconds per cycle.
Technology
Design features of the forklift system include a 9-stage, single production board stacker and de-stacker, suitable for 2.5-ton forklifts. Precision engineering ensures accurate stacking of production boards in the stacker, allowing for quick transfer into the curing chambers, reducing wear and damage to production boards on entry and exit. The curing system can also be adapted to incorporate the latest curing solutions available from PMSA® through Kraft Curing, including circulation, vapour and heating system for the best curing performance of concrete products.

PMSA®’s curing chambers with forklift system is Built to Last® and is ideal for medium to large capacity brick, block and paver making plants. Features include:
Features
- A stacker and de-stacker that can be incorporated into existing block plants for improved production and easy upgrading into a curing chamber with forklift system.
- A 9-stage stacker and de-stacker system allows 9 production boards with products to be stacked ready for transport into curing chambers using a conventional forklift.
- Heavy-link chain and robust engineering on the stacker and de-stacker for increased longevity of the unit.
- Stacker and de-stacker have fewer moving parts, requiring less maintenance of the units.
- A single curing environment allows for consistent product curing and higher strength of end-products.
- Having a compact 9-level curing room results in a reduced footprint of the plant.
