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 male comparisons where relevant.
The provided pictorial represents the steps and instruments utilised in the manufacturing of cement and how it is further employed in making of concrete for the aim of building.
At a fleeting glance, it can be seen from the first diagram that limestone and clay are put into the crusher to obtain a coarse powder. It is further put into the mixer to mix well from where it goes into the rotating heater via pipe. The rotating heater rotates the granulated powder and also provides heat to it from an external source. The heated mixture is then transferred onto a grinder which grinds it into a fine form. Finally, cement is ready and is packed into the bags after it cools.
Probing further, for the production of concrete, 4 ingredients are taken in certain quantities, 15% of cement, 10% of water, a quarter of sand and half of the total constituents is gravel which are tiny stones. All these are poured into an apparatus called concrete mixer which rotates and blends all the constituents well. The final product obtained is called concrete which is used for several constructional purposes.
To sum up, it can be vividly seen that the cement manufacturing process is more complex and involves more steps and equipment than that of concrete production.
