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.

Looking from an

overall

perspective, there are two making processes. The picture on the left depicts the

cement

production process

while

the diagram on the right shows the usage of

cement

in the production of concrete. Regarding

cement

production stages, we have limestone that

together with

clay is crushed resulting in powder. Following the stages of the

cement

-making process, there is a mixer where the powder goes through until it reaches a rotating heater mixer. After that stage of heating and mixing the powder, the result is dropped on a grinder.

Finally

, the

cement

is now ready to be utilised, as it is put into bags for usage. The concrete-making process details are in the next diagram on the right. It begins with a concrete mixer

that is

filled with 15%

cement

added by 10% water, 25% sand and 50% gravel. It is explained that gravel is another way of naming small stones. After all these components are heated,

as a result

, we have the concrete.

To conclude

,

it is clear that

both products have a necessity of being mixed during their fabrication.

On the other hand

, we outline that only

cement

possesses a need to be heated.
