The diagrams highlight the steps involved in producing cement and the process by which
concrete is produced using cement.
There are six stages in the former process from the mixing of two raw materials to the
packaging the cement and two stages in the latter process that involves four materials.
The first stage is that limestone and clay are crushed, which produces powder. This powder is
mixed in a mixer and then moves through a rotating heater. Subsequently, the material is
heated with fire. The following step is that the mixture moves along a conveyor belt and is
then ground through a grinder, which produces cement. Finally, the cement is packed into
bags and transported to the construction site where it is used to make concrete.
In order to make concrete, a concrete mixer is filled with 50% gravel, 25% sand, 15% cement
and 10% water. Once these materials have been added, the mixer rotates until concrete is
produced.
