The diagrams below shows the stages and equipment in the cement making process, and how cement is used to produce concrete for building purposes.
The diagrams illustrate how
cement
is made and then
how it is used in the production of concrete for construction.
The 5-step process of making cement
is linear and starts with the combination of three raw materials that are crushed, mixed, heated, ground, and bagged. The cement
is then
added to a concrete mixer with three other ingredients to produce concrete.
The making of concrete has several steps. Limestone and clay are crushed into powder and mixed together. This
powder then
passes through a rotating heater. After being heated, the mixture is ground down to form cement
. The cement
is then
bagged for easy transport.
There are 4 ingredients used to make cement
which is a simpler process. The proportions of these materials are 15% cement
, 10% water, 25% sand and 50% gravel. They are mixed together in a specialized mixer to form concrete that is
used for building purposes.Submitted by misstiasclassroom on
