Concrete Curing Solutions
Kemco Systems has been working within the concrete industry since 1986, with the introduction of the direct contact water heater. We have found that direct contact heating has been a more efficient application of energy than traditional boilers in the heating of aggregate. Our aim is to make sure that the curing temperature is appropriate regardless of the site conditions, and with that, we can help our clients make a consistent level of strong and reliable concrete and concrete products.
We work closely with the precast yards and ready-mix sites. We engage with many of the larger companies but we do even more work with the independent companies. Whether large or small, Kemco Systems listens to our partners to understand their challenges of today and of tomorrow as we co-author solutions to keep them efficient and profitable.
Challenges, Opportunities, Trends
With the current status of domestic infrastructure and the need for reinvestment in roads, bridges and utilities, we expect concrete spending to increase. As it does, Kemco can help with rapid deployment of equipment, as ready-mix plants pop up across the country and as prefabrication and modularization become a bigger part of the construction industry. Kemco Systems’ ability to support those precast yards and ready-mix plants helps accelerate the implementation and close-out of these projects.
Competitive Advantages
One of the biggest things we have going for us in concrete, and for all industries we work in, is that we have been around since 1969. Since then, we have built a large knowledge base and suite of technology solutions that are important to all of our clients. We use this experience to ensure our clients deliver consistent product quality to shield them from any liabilities associated with product failure.
Our depth of market knowledge ranges from the C-suite to the team members fabricating equipment on the floor. Whether in sales, engineering, applications, controls, manufacturing, panel construction or administration, Kemco employees are directly involved in our clients’ industries for the majority of our careers.
Ready-Mix Industry
Kemco Systems has been working within the ready-mix concrete industry since 1986, with the introduction of the direct contact water heater. Customer feedback has proven that direct contact heating is a more efficient application of energy than traditional boilers in the heating of aggregate. The Kemco direct contact water heater ensures the curing temperature is appropriate regardless of the site conditions. We can help our clients make a consistent level of strong and reliable concrete and concrete products.
Precast Industry
For our customers in curing, the process is more than simply hardening concrete, it is the glue that binds aggregates together to provide a strong, water-tight and durable concrete product. Kemco provides concrete curing processes the ability to automatically control operations during each curing cycle such as ramp time, holding time and soak time. Incorporating the latest, proven advances in combustion, electronics and automation engineering, these systems have been at the core of Kemco’s product line since 1986.
As prefabrication and modularization become a larger segment of the construction industry, our ability to support precast yards has increased. No matter what you produce; curing pipe, prestress, block and dry or wet cast, our products allow your plant to achieve maximum output, efficiently.
