The first diagram depicts the manufacturing of cement using limestone and clay while the second diagram depicts the production of concrete from cement, sand, gravel, and water. Different processes and equipment are involved in the production of both.
Firstly, limestone and clay a ground together by the aid of a crusher. The powder is then added to the mixer. After mixing it, it is then passed onto the rotating heater, in which heat is provided from the bottom of the cylindrical container. It is then passed through the grinder to obtain cement. The final product is then packed in bags, ready for retail in the market.
Concrete production requires addition of 15% of cement, 10% of water, 25% of sand and 50% of gravel. The components are then mixed thoroughly using a concrete mixer. Concrete is obtained as the final product, which is used heavily in the manufacturing industry.
