"The diagrams below show the stages and equipment used in the cement-making process, and how cement is used to produce concrete for building purposes

The diagrams illustrate the process of

cement

production and the use of

cement

to make concrete for building purposes.

Overall

, both processes are depicted as linear and man-made. The

cement

-making process consists of six stages, starting with the crushing of raw materials and ending with the packaging of the

cement

.

On the other hand

, the production of concrete involves a single stage and specific equipment.

To begin

with, limestone and clay are crushed into a fine powder by a crusher.

This

powder is

then

transferred to a mixer, where it is combined with other materials and sent to a rotating heater for grinding and heating. Once the process is complete, the

cement

is ready to be packaged for use in producing concrete.

In contrast

, the manufacturing of concrete involves the mixing of various raw materials using a concrete mixer. Gravel is the primary ingredient, constituting half of the mixture,

while

sand accounts for a quarter.

Cement

and water make up the remaining small proportions, with 15% and 10%, respectively.
