Besser Co. engineers curing systems to deliver accurate temperature, humidity and cycle control for chambers, kilns or plant bays, plus air control and insulation to provide circulation and energy savings. The company employs proprietary simulation software to design new systems for maximum efficiency and dependability; the software also evaluates current systems, locating and correcting any deficiencies.

Curing systems tailored to producers’ specific needs. Besser equipment offerings span vapor generators, curing controls, forced warm air heating units, circulation/misting systems, and hydro curing. All system engineering and manufacturing are performed in the U.S. with domestically made parts. Experienced technical service representatives provide installation assistant and training. The manufacturer also offers annual maintenance contracts, system upgrades, 24/7 technical support, plus parts for namesake and competitive curing systems. — Besser Co., 989/354-4111; www.besser.com

Besser Co. has scheduled 11 Blockmakers Workshop sessions across 2018, including a new course on Servo Vibration/Main Drive technology; Advanced Concrete Masonry Technology, which debuted this year; and, Executive Session, a condensed version of primary courses, suited to upper management. Courses are conducted at the World Center for Concrete Technology, adjacent to Besser headquarters in northern Michigan. Registration is open for:

  • Product Handling & Curing, January 29-February 2; October 15-19
  • Electronic Controls, February 12-16
  • Concrete Masonry Technology, March 5-9; September 10-14
  • Vibrapac, March 12-16; October 8-12
  • Advanced Vibrapac, March 19-23
  • Advanced Servo Vibration/Servo Main Drive, March 27-29
  • Executive Session, July 17-19
  • Advanced Concrete Masonry Technology, September 17-21

The new Advanced Servo Vibration/Servo Main Drive course is geared to teaching producers all they need to know about operating the system for maximum benefit. Producers operating cam machines with this system, and those who are considering the upgrade, are encouraged to attend. Advanced Concrete Masonry Technology further explores all aspects of the primary course. The three-day Executive Session, notes past participant Lynn Barnhart, Anchor Wall director of Licensing, “is a must-attend for any professional in the hardscapes or masonry business who wants to understand materials and the manufacture of masonry products.”

“The need for hands-on training for members of our industry is critical,” says Besser Technical Service Representative Ron Scherer, workshop instructor. “Content is constantly updated to keep [courses] fresh and relevant, and networking with other producers is always helpful.”

“Students can apply their new skills upon returning to their plants; the return on investment is immediate,” adds Besser Director of International Sales and Applications Engineering Duane Rondeau, who oversees the Workshops.
