The diagram illustrates the multitude of steps and equipment involved in cement making, it also showcases how it is used in concrete production for building purposes. Overall, there are several stages and tools which are used in this complex process. First of all, limestone and clay are crushed to get powder. Next, they are mixed before being put in a rotating heater. The mixture passes in a grinder to get thus the cement. This latter is put in bags to be stored and sold. In addition to this process, the figure highlights the method to manufacture another essential commodity in the building industry which is concrete. Indeed, the material is mainly composed by gravel that represents 50% of the total components. Furthermore, Cement represents 15% of the ingredients, plus 10% of water and 25% of sand. The all is mixed thanks to an adapted mixer in order to get the final goods. To conclude, we can notice that cement which is crucial in concrete making, is done through several steps and using numerous tools.
