Concrete specimen curing and storage
Keep specimens in the required curing environment and retrieve them at the scheduled test age. REALJET configures the storage arrangement, environmental controls and handling interfaces as one system.
How does concrete specimen curing automation work?
A concrete specimen curing system provides controlled curing conditions and organized storage until the scheduled test age. It combines the selected curing environment with specimen identification, location records and retrieval. REALJET sizes the storage and handling configuration from daily intake, retention time and the laboratory’s test schedule.
The project method determines the environment. Cabinet systems and controlled rooms provide different approaches to storage and access; existing water-curing facilities can be assessed for handling integration. REALJET defines the required conditions and monitoring before selecting the arrangement.
From receipt to the right test age.
Identify the specimen, assign a usable position and schedule retrieval. The same record follows the specimen into testing, including any relocation or authorized manual intervention.
- 01
Identify
Record specimen identity, geometry, group and required test ages.
- 02
Store
Assign an available position and confirm the transfer.
- 03
Monitor
Record environmental conditions and respond to exceptions.
- 04
Retrieve
Release the scheduled specimens to the next operation.
Capacity is an inventory calculation.
Daily production alone does not determine the number of storage positions. Seven-day, 28-day and retained specimens occupy the system for different periods. The usable capacity must also allow for grouping, access and peak intake.
| Design item | What is defined |
|---|---|
| Storage capacity | Individual specimens, group size and usable positions |
| Specimen range | Dimensions, mass and arrangement per drawer or rack |
| Curing conditions | Selected method, control range and environmental distribution |
| Monitoring | Sensor locations, logging, alarm handling and calibration access |
| Automatic handling | Transfer arrangement, access clearance and retrieval sequence |
| Site services | Power, water, drainage and maintenance access |
Keep recovery practical.
The operating plan includes what happens during power loss, a blocked transfer or a damaged identity mark. Manual access, environmental checks and the return to automatic operation are planned alongside normal storage.
Concrete laboratory questions.
Start with the operation you need to change. REALJET will help define the equipment and interfaces.
Can we use our existing curing room?
REALJET reviews the room, storage positions, environment, access and handling route to determine what can be retained.
Does the cabinet include automated loading?
Environmental control and specimen handling are separate scope items. They can be combined, with the selected loading mechanism shown in the configuration.
Is one temperature and humidity setting suitable for every market?
The project method determines the required conditions. The configuration is specified for that method rather than a universal setting.
How do we size the system?
Provide daily specimen intake, group size, test ages, retained samples and peak workload. These inputs define the occupied inventory and usable storage requirement.
