SAMPLE Process Answer

The document describes the stages and equipment involved in the production of cement and its subsequent use in making concrete. Cement is produced by crushing limestone and clay, mixing, heating, and grinding the resulting powder, while concrete is made by combining gravel, sand, cement, and water in a concrete mixer. The process of making cement is more complex than that of producing concrete, which requires only a mixer.

The diagram below shows the stages and equipment used in the cement-making process, and how cement is used to produce concrete for building purposes. Cement Production Limestone Concrete Production ‘Water (10%) *Gravel= small stones The diagrams illustrate the steps and equipment involved in the production of cement and the way in which cement is then used to make concrete. Overall, limestone and clay pass through four stages before being bagged ready for use as cement, Cement is then combined with three other materials to create concrete, While the process of making cement uses a number of tools, the production of concrete is simpler and requires only a concrete mixer. In the first stage of making cement, limestone and clay are crushed together to form a powder using a crusher. This powder is then combined in a mixer before passing into a rotating heater which has constant heat applied at one end of the tube. The resulting mixture is ground in order to produce cement. The final product is afterwards put into bags ready to be used. Regarding the second diagram, concrete consists of mainly gravel, which is small stones, and this makes up 50% of the ingredients. The other materials used are sand (25%), cement (15%) and water (10%). These are all poured into a concrete mixer which continually rotates to combine the materials and ultimately produces, concrete,
