Battery Plate Curing and Drying Chamber
Battery plate curing chamber for hydroset process. Controls 3BS/4BS crystal conversion at 40–90°C, 40–95% RH. Improves CCA and plate life.
Industrial GradeISO 9001 Certified
XLPE Cable Curing Chamber
Indeecon specializes in precision curing and cross-linking chambers for two critical manufacturing processes: lead-acid battery plate hydroset curing and polyethylene (XLPE) cable insulation cross-linking. Both demand exacting control over temperature, humidity, and atmosphere to ensure product quality and regulatory compliance. These chambers are designed specifically for the "Hydroset" process in lead-acid battery manufacturing, where the conversion of lead paste into a stable crystalline structure (3BS/4BS) is critical.

Background
What is a XLPE Cable Curing Chamber?
XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) cross-linking is a chemical process where polyethylene polymer chains bond together through peroxide decomposition or radiation, creating a three-dimensional network. This cross-linked structure dramatically improves the cable's thermal stability, electrical properties, and mechanical strength. Under-cured XLPE insulation is brittle and prone to electrical breakdown — the leading cause of high-voltage cable failures in the field. Indeecon chambers ensure uniform, precise cross-linking across the entire cable drum.

Capabilities
What Makes Our Temperature and Humidity Chamber Stand Out
- Cold-Start Profile Capability: Unique feature allowing plates to gain strength at high humidity before drying phase begins, preventing cracking
- Vertical Laminar Airflow: Ensures uniform plate oxidation and consistent curing across all plates in a batch
- Multi-Step Ramp & Soak Control: Programmable temperature and humidity profiles for optimised 3BS → 4BS conversion
- SS-316 Internal Construction: Resists acidic vapor corrosion from battery paste outgassing
- Hydrogen Monitoring: Integrated gas sensors for hydrogen detection with emergency venting capability
- Paste-to-Grid Adhesion Optimisation: Cold-start profile prevents delamination and ensures superior bond strength
- Engineering Highlight: Our battery chambers feature a unique "Cold-Start" profile capability. This allows the plates to gain strength at high humidity before the drying phase begins, preventing plate cracking and ensuring high "Paste-to-Grid" adhesion. This proprietary profile is a key differentiator that reduces scrap rates and improves battery life.
- Radial Airflow Distribution: Ensures heat penetrates deep layers of wound cable drum uniformly, preventing under-curing
- Saturated Steam or Dry Heat: Flexible medium selection (steam for moisture-sensitive insulation, dry heat for speed)
- Heavy-Duty Floor Tracks: Trolley-mounted cable drums up to 4m+ diameter reels
- Uniform Temperature Profile: ±3°C throughout the mass of the cable reel
- Data Logging for Compliance: Complete temperature/time records for Hot Set Test certification
- Custom Chamber Sizing: Designed around your drum diameter and batch requirements
- Pressure-Rated Construction: Up to 5 Bar for steam-injection models
- Engineering Highlight: Indeecon XLPE chambers utilize a Radial Airflow Distribution system. This ensures that heat penetrates the deep layers of a wound cable drum uniformly, preventing "Under-curing" at the core, which is the leading cause of insulation breakdown in high-voltage cables. This proprietary design is critical for passing rigorous Hot Set Test audits.
- Proven expertise in battery and cable manufacturing — trusted by tier-1 OEMs
- Proprietary Cold-Start and Radial Airflow technologies unavailable elsewhere
- Full after-sales support: Installation, commissioning, and ongoing technical support
- NABL-accredited calibration included with every chamber
- Customization available: Chamber sizing, automation, and bespoke control systems
- Competitive pricing with fast manufacturing lead times
