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 16 is engineered to transform free lead (Pb) into high-quality Lead Oxide (PbO) through absolute thermal and moisture control.

• Guaranteed Final Free Lead: < 3% (Essential for long-term battery life).

• Guaranteed Final Moisture: < 0.5% (Prevents micro-cracks and shedding).

• Superior Moisture Penetration: Steam-based humidity generation. Steam particles are smaller than atomized water, ensuring deep penetration into the plates.

• Safety Redundancy: Integrated osmotic water backup system to ensure cycle completion in case of factory steam failure.

2. Loading Capacity & Mass Management (Steam Cure 16)

The chamber uses horizontal laminar airflow to ensure identical chemical transformation for both horizontally and vertically arranged plates across the entire 16-pallet load.
