These 2 images illustrate how to manufact the cement and how it is then used as a raw material in the process of making concrete. Throughout the whole process, while making cement uses about 5 professional tools and 4 different materials, the production of concrete seems much simpler, requiring only a concrete mixer.

As is clearly shown in the first diagram, mixture of limestone and clay is put into the crusher to form the powder. Afterwards, the powder mixes together until staying at a rotating heater which is being heated continuously at the end of the tube. Eventually, the compound turns into cement before being treated by a grinder. Finally, the cement is packaged in some appropriative bags.

Regarding the second picture, cement(15%),water(10%),sand(25%) as well as gravel(50%) are all poured into a concrete mixer. Subsequently, the mixer rotates and stirs until concrete producing. We can find that in fact it consists of a sort of small stones named gravel.

All in all, the methods described above are the way of cement and concrete manufacturing that can be used in buildings.
