Is now a good time for industrial manufacturers to transition from gas to electric power?
CAM has introduced VoltCure, a new electric battery plate curing system designed to replace conventional gas-fired SteamCure technology. The system utilizes high-precision electric elements to generate thermal power for the manufacturing process.
Why it matters
VoltCure aims to decouple production costs from global fossil fuel price volatility while reducing dependency on gas infrastructure and emissions constraints. By utilizing electric elements, manufacturers can bypass the need for traditional gas headers and flues.
The VoltCure system operates at temperatures up to 100°C using horizontal laminar airflow and direct steam injection. The installation process requires sizing copper power cables to connect to electrical cabinets.
The players
CAM
CAM is an industrial engineering firm that develops specialized equipment for battery manufacturing processes.
The details
The system eliminates burners, gas headers, and exhaust flues by generating thermal power through electric elements. This design replaces gas-fired SteamCure technology with a setup that relies on horizontal laminar airflow.
Timeline
November 2026: Mechanical start-up and thermal validation of the VoltCure unit.
Roadmap
This transition to electric thermal generation mirrors a broader industry shift toward decarbonizing battery component manufacturing. By adopting electrified processes, automotive suppliers are moving away from legacy gas-reliant infrastructure to improve operational sustainability.
For battery manufacturers, the adoption of VoltCure impacts facility power requirements by necessitating specialized copper cabling for electrical cabinets. The transition reduces long-term operational reliance on external gas supplies and associated emissions regulations.
The takeaway
Moving battery curing processes to electric power provides a hedge against fluctuating natural gas prices for large-scale manufacturers. Companies should assess their current electrical infrastructure readiness before replacing gas-fired burner systems.
What happens next
CAM is scheduled to conduct mechanical startup and full thermal validation cycles in November 2026.
