FIELD: manufacturing technology.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to the manufacture of prefabricated concrete products in the production process of casting. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for curing concrete products. Method for curing concrete products in curing chamber (10), which comprises multiple cells (12) forming at least one stack (11). Cells (12) are arranged vertically in a row. Humidity level in cells (12) is adjusted so as to provide cells (12) with the desired temperature, and the surface temperature of the element subjected to curing is measured by a sensor. Cells (12) form group (13) of cells in which one group (13) of cells comprises one cell (12), preferably 2–4 cells (12). Group (13) of cells is isolated from other groups (13) of cells of curing chamber (10). Humidity level is measured in each group (13) of cells. Surface temperature of the element subjected to curing is measured to determine the required dew-point. Humidity level in each of cells (12) of curing chamber (10) is controlled by humidity control device (26) so that the surface temperature of the concrete products in cells (12) is slightly higher or lower than the dew point, or is equal to the dew point, depending on the required effect on the quality of the products.
EFFECT: preventing excessive condensation of moisture on the element, as well as excessive drying due to moisture control.
