Kraft Energy™ is dedicated to serving the needs of the manufactured concrete products industry.
Precast concrete producers differ from some manufacturers in that they have a two-step manufacturing process where the second step is sometimes seen as optional. The first step, precast concrete casting, is a given. But the second step, accelerated curing, is sometimes neglected. The reason for skipping accelerated curing is usually the same from producer to producer: it costs money. And since concrete producers are in the business of making money, it can be difficult to choose to spend additional money in the production process.
Precast concrete producers who look at the big picture, however, realize that accelerated curing provides cost savings in both time and materials that not only offset the expense but also provide additional return on the investment. And, accelerated curing provides a better quality product, which satisfies customers and reduces waste. Many of our customers are investing a lot of money in new, more sophisticated production equipment. They realize that investing only in the front end doesn’t make sense. The back end of the process, the curing process, deserves their attention as well.
