From an energy perspective, this approach maintains mass flow (viscosity) while increasing mix temperature.Curing ChambersMost factories utilize curing chambers, but implementation varies. These chambers provide stable thermal conditions for rising cakes.Some plants merely cover molds to prevent drafts and heat loss, while others install heated tunnels (40-60%u00b0C). In addition to retaining heat in the cakes, curing chambers also keep unused molds warm, ensuring readiness for the next production cycle.After curing, cakes are transferred to the cutting machine. Ideally, cut cakes should be loaded directly into an autoclave or stored in pre-autoclave chambers, preventing excessive energy loss before the next production phase.Fig. 4: Anti-coagulation effect allowing better hydration and homogeneityFig. 5: Water surface tension reduction translates to larger hydration area with the same amount of water Pmx Labs sp. z o.o.Wyspia%u0144skiego 14/3760-750 Poznan, PolandT +48 603 270 905www.poromix.euConclusionHeat is just as important to the production recipe as the quality of cement or lime. Energy optimization leads to cost savings and greater production stability by ensuring consistent thermal conditions. %u25cf
