With more than 1000 installations in over 50 countries, ROTHO is No. 1 worldwide. The company‘s founder Robert Thomas started the business around 1900 and it is still a family business now in its fourth generation. Now an integral part of the Siegerland metal working industry it began by manufacturing jigs and tools for the local industries in the area. The company then expanded into sheet metal storage products and transport equipment for a wide variety of applications. Active in the concrete block industry for more than 40 years, the ROTHO trade mark stands for the highest techniques in concrete curing. Working in close co-operation with the concrete block industry, ROTHO have established precise customer requirements and their anticipated future ideas and developed these concepts into reality. ROTHO have excellent development and design teams constantly improving solutions for concrete curing technology. Using our own production facilities in Germany, producing the highest quality of finished materials coupled with our own professional installation engineers, guarantees a smooth completion of projects both at home and abroad.

SYSTEM DESIGN BIG chamber
Big chamber concept • Uniform climate for all kinds of concrete products • Elevators and lowerators integrated into the chamber environment • Direct feeding into a constant climate • Optimal use of hydration heat
• Reduction in curing time • Suitable for vaporization-, heating- and air circulation systems • Low investment 6
SYSTEM DESIGN Single-/double chamber
Hot dip galvanized or stainless steel systems with complete coverage of the outside-, separation- and ceiling surfaces. Front sealing by individually matched roller shutter doors.
• Flexible product mix thanks to chamber system • Particularly high tightness of the chambers among each other • Suitable for vaporization-, heating- and air circulation systems 7
FOR EACH POSSIBLE APPLICATION THE RIGHT SURFACE PROTECTION
Stainless steel:
Coated steel:
• Covered, vaporized or heated installations for the upper temperature range
• Covered, vaporized or heated installations for the upper temperature range • Individual color selection
Hot dip galvanized:
Pre-galvanized:
• Covered, vaporized or heated installations for
• Uncovered installations in exisitng halls
the mean temparature range

Aggregate Heating Expedite hydration
Aggregate and mixer temperatures are tracked in such a way that temperature in the curing chamber is kept constant, against variable set points under fluctuating ambient conditions.
• Improved product quality thanks to repeatable curing conditions • High early strengths • Can be retrofitted at any time • Power and fuel savings as the air and burner equipment is shut off automatically during breaks in production • Operation of the production line at constant conditions all year round

air CIRCULATIon system: uniform climate WITH SYSTEM
10
• Uniform distribution of humidity and temperature
• Integrated humidity control system
• Reduction of dripping water
• Low operating & maintenance expenses
• Reduction of curing time
• For single-, double- and big chambers
• Improved colour consistency
• Optional with humidity injection
• Possible retrofitting at any time
ProCure – Concrete Curing System Reach your goal faster ProCure meets all requirements in a quick, consistent and high-quality curing process. The heating and humidification system, according to the latest state-of-art technology ensures that each product receives the climate it needs for optimum product quality. An integrated, highly effective air circulation system, made up of multiple circulation circuits, covers each product equally with the required amount of air. Using an intelligent process control system, temperature and humidity are precisely determined in the curing chamber. During the curing process these are constantly monitored and controlled for variances. They are then adapted as required by parameters set out by the control system. In addition an exhaust system limits the maximum moisture content within the chamber
ProCure circulation units
• Resistant concrete surfaces • More consistent and brighter colours • Lower primary and secondary efflorescence • Higher density concrete surfaces • The same curing climate 365 days a year • Lower production costs by reducing the cement content • High early strength • Energy efficiency >90% 11
