Holcim Group Chooses Curetec: Intelligent Steam Curing at Scale

From First Steam to Full-Process Intelligent Control

A Benchmark Practice of Curetec’s Multi-Kiln Curing System at Holcim Blacktown, Australia

What was the most exciting moment when a large-scale steam maintenance system was launched?
Not the contract signing. Not the installation kickoff. It’s that first moment when steam is successfully generated.
Recently, our advanced steam curing technology was successfully commissioned at Blacktown, Australia.

System configuration: Six core modules


6 large-scale fully automated curing kilns

equipped with high-speed roller shutter doors for smooth production flow and efficient heat retention

2 low-pressure steam curing units

delivering stable, high-capacity steam output

RO water treatment system

ensures consistent water quality from the source

Steam pressure range: 0.02–0.05 MPa

using flanged piping for quick, weld-free on-site installation

Fully automated oxygen measurement system

safeguarding production quality

CureControl intelligent hub

precisely managing temperature and curing cycles to create a fully automated, precision platform.


From initial steam generation to final product, every detail is engineered for performance.

Temperature. Curing cycles. Fully automated. Precise. Efficient.

Customer Pain Points: Four Key Challenges Facing Holcim Group
Global Leaders Don’t Just Choose Equipment—They Choose Solutions

As a global leader in the construction materials industry, Holcim Group’s requirements for a curing system go far beyond “it works”:
Steam distribution and temperature/humidity control deviations easily occur when multiple kilns operate in parallel
Manual intervention means quality consistency depends entirely on operator experience
Inefficient energy consumption—steam generation is disconnected from actual curing demand
Data black box—processes are invisible, making issues difficult to trace
What they needed was an intelligent system capable of centralized, holistic management.

The Solution:

How Does CureControl Deliver?

Traditional approaches control the steam generator. CureControl controls the curing demand.

Demand-Based Distribution

The system dynamically allocates steam based on real-time demand from all 6 kilns

Fully Automated Operation

Temperature, humidity, and cycle management run automatically—no manual monitoring required

Energy Efficiency Optimization

Steam generation matches curing demand in real time, eliminating idle operation

Data Transparency

Full process traceability and exportable data ensure quality is always documented and auditable

In one sentence: Make equipment follow the curing process—not force curing to adapt to equipment limitations.

Core value: Data is management

Intelligent Curing Data Is the Best Form of Management

How is curing progressing? What’s the energy consumption? Open the dashboard—it’s all clear at a glance.
No manual meter reading. No experience-based estimates. The data speaks for itself, 24/7.
And this goes far beyond just the Holcim project.
The successful commissioning of Holcim Group’s multi-kiln system in Blacktown validates something more significant:
Curetec curing systems deliver proven reliability in large-scale, multi-kiln industrial curing scenarios.
Replacing labor with systems. Replacing experience with data. This is the direction of the global precast curing industry.
Whether it’s concrete products, PC (precast concrete) components, or centralized multi-kiln curing—a stable, intelligent system is the core foundation of benchmark projects.
