Performance Unit Wet Storage – Model 5541

Performance unit for the storage of freshly compacted building material specimens at a relative humidity of at least 90%, preferably for the storage of triple moulds with freshly prepared prisms 40 x 40 x 160 mm.

The unit provides storage space for 12 triple moulds in 6 sliding drawers.

A fan distributes the air and the temperature inside the unit equally.

The wet storage is designed as sturdy steel frame construction and is equipped with a working top made of stainless steel. Due to the separation of the storage tank and the working table a shock- and vibration-free storage of the specimens is guaranteed.

By the available extension unit the storage capacity can be extended to 24 triple moulds.

 

Advantages

✓ Convenient storage of moulds next to the working area eliminates long transports
✓ Sliding drawers for easy insertion and removal of the moulds
✓ Undisturbed curing due to shock protected installation of the storage container

Description

Design

Sturdy working table with tubular steel substructure and stainless steel tabletop. Separate storage container made of stainless steel located below, with adjustable legs.

Lower part designed as water reservoir with support structures above guided in drawer rails. Three frames carrying two respectively four moulds each, are provided both on the left and on the right side.

Adjustable openings in the front part of the container lid to vent thermal energy from the curing process. Two hinged doors with sturdy handles close the front of the container. A thermohygrometer is provided in the door for monitoring the temperature and humidity.

 

Operating Principle

The moulds in the support frames are surrounded by saturated humid air. The humidity is generated by evaporating water from the bottom reservoir. A fan is integrated for equal distribution of temperature and humidity.

As the container has no temperature controller, the storage temperature depends on the ambient temperature. Depending on the thermal process energy from curing, the temperature inside the container me be 1.5 °C higher than the ambient temperature. The adjustable vents in the container lid allow warm air to escape.

Separation of storage container and working table allows the operator to work on the table without jolting the stored specimens.
