    The document describes and compares the processes of cement and concrete production. Cement production involves 5 steps: limestone and clay are crushed and heated, then ground to produce cement which is bagged. Concrete only has 2 stages: cement, water, sand and gravel are mixed to produce concrete. Gravel makes up 50% of concrete, with sand at 25% and cement and water each around 15-10%.

    The two diagrams indicate the process of cement and this of concrete.
    As can be seen, the former has five main steps from the raw materials
    to bags whilst the latter only has two stages.

    At the beginning of the cement production, two substances including


    limestone and clay are put through a crusher in order to transform into
    powder. Then this powder continues going through a mixer and a
    rotating heater. After heating, the mixture is ground in a grinder and
    the cement is produced. At the final stage of the process, this cement
    is packed into bags.

    Regarding concrete production, there are four ingredients to make


    concrete including cement, water, sand, and gravel. Gravel takes the
    highest proportion (about 50%). The percentage of sand is half of that
    of gravel (at 25%). Cement and water have the rate nearly equal (15%
    and 10%, respectively). Initially, these raw materials are poured into
    the concrete mixer before being blended to produce concrete.
