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. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram shows the procedure and tools utilized for producing

cement

, and how the produced

cement

is processed into concrete used for buildings.

Overall

, both procedures consist of mixing several

ingredients

together to form an aggregate final product using a mixer

although

three additional steps are done in the production process of

cement

which are crushing, heating, and grinding the mixed

. The

ingredients

for making

cement

, which are limestone and clay are first crushed into powder before being mixed. After the powders are mixed, they enter the rotating heater to be heated to a certain level of temperature. The heated aggregate is

for the concrete aggregate. Gravel as the major composing ingredient of the concrete takes a half portion of the mix,

while

the other half of the concrete is composed of sand,

, and water with only 25%, 15%, and 10% of the total portion.
