Eliminate plate defects and curing bottlenecks.
Achieve 100% crystal uniformity with advanced thermal and humidity control

THE PLATE CURING BOTTLENECK

Curing is the most high-risk phase in battery manufacturing. Poorly controlled humidity and temperature gradients don’t just delay production—they create structural defects that are invisible to the eye but fatal for battery life.

• The Micro-Crack Disaster: Inconsistent moisture removal causes micro-cracks in the active material, leading to early capacity loss and warranty claims.

• The Energy Leak: Traditional chambers waste massive amounts of steam and electricity due to poor insulation and inefficient air recirculation.

• Production Blindness: Without real-time, automated control, your curing process is a “black box.” You only discover a failure when it’s too late, resulting in thousands of scrapped plates.

CAM: TOTAL CONTROL, ZERO DEFECTS.

✅ Uniform Air Distribution: Our proprietary ventilation system eliminates “dead zones.” Every single plate, from the top to the bottom of the pallet, undergoes the exact same chemical transformation.

✅Smart Steam Injection: Precision-modulated steam delivery ensures the 3BS crystal structures are perfectly formed for maximum battery durability.

✅High-Density Insulation: 80mm to 100mm reinforced panels transform the chamber into a thermal fortress, cutting energy costs by 30% compared to standard solutions.

TECHNICAL CONFIGURATION: ENGINEERED STABILITY

1. Curing Performance & Guaranteed Results

The STEAM CURE 52 is designed to transform free lead (Pb) into Lead Oxide (PbO) through a precise, automated chemical reaction.

• Guaranteed Final Free Lead: < 3% (Achieved through consistent 3BS crystal formation).

• Guaranteed Final Moisture: < 0.5% (Relative humidity level to ensure plate structural integrity).

• Process Consistency: Steam-based humidity generation. Steam particles, being smaller than atomized water, ensure deeper and more homogeneous penetration into every pallet.

• Emergency Backup: Integrated osmotic water system to complete the cycle in case of factory steam supply failure.

2. Loading Capacity & Mass Management (Steam Cure 52)

Engineered for industrial-scale automotive plate production with a horizontal laminar airflow that guarantees identical results for both horizontally and vertically arranged plates.

• Total Chamber Capacity: 52 CAM Standard Pallets (800 x 1030 x 520 mm).

• Total Mass per Chamber:

  • Positive Plates (+): Up to 17,280 kg of active mass.

  • Negative Plates (-): Up to 21,060 kg of active mass.

• Total Load Weight:

  • Positive (+): 29,484 kg (including lead, grids, and pallets).

  • Negative (-): 34,344 kg (including lead, grids, and pallets).

• Plate Volume: Up to 211,680 positive plates or 264,600 negative plates per cycle.

3. Engineering & Structural Specs

• Material Integrity: Internal walls fully constructed in Inox AISI 304 stainless steel to eliminate any risk of iron oxide contamination.

• Advanced Heating: Hybrid system utilizing a blown air gas burner combined with a high-efficiency heat exchanger.

• Control Intelligence: Siemens PLC with KTP Graphic Operator Panel. Precision software tailored for automotive plate recipes (Time, Temperature, Humidity).

• Scalability: SCADA integration available for multi-chamber monitoring and historical data/graph visualization.
